Personalized Ceremonies by Toni Maddi

Toni did an excellent job on our ceremony! We had many compliments from our guests about how much they liked our ceremony and the way Toni presented. Before meeting Toni, we met with numerous other officiants, and none of them compared to Toni. We connected with her from the first phone conversation. She is very easy to talk to and made us feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great wedding officiant!

Rev. Maddi was really great to work with. She's friendly and open with any ideas as well as providing ideas from previous experiences that she had. We didn't have a rehearsal but Rev. Maddi was able to guide everyone through the ceremony. Her ceremony guide made it easy for us to decide what needs to be included in the ceremony. She is very professional. We added a butterfly release to our ceremony about a week or so before our wedding and she jumped with the idea even though it wasn't discussed originally. I would recommend her to anyone looking for officiant service for their wedding. Thanks!

We had such a wonderful experience with Toni, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Chicago area looking for an officiant. She was very responsive at my initial request for information about her services, and during our planning meeting she was very warm and engaging, and flexible in creating a very personal wedding ceremony. She encouraged us to write our own vows, which I normally wouldn't have thought of doing, but in the end, reading vows was one of my favorite moments of the night! Our ceremony was so unique and special, and was absolutely my favorite part of our wedding. Toni had a very calming and professional presence at our wedding, and we can't imagine having had the ceremony without her!!

Toni, thank you for everything.This is your passion and it is obvious by the way our ceremony was given. Thank you for everything. Especially, thank you for the typed copy of our ceremony. I would recommend Toni to anyone and everyone!

I would recommend Toni Maddi to anyone in need of an officiant for their wedding. She is very prompt to respond back to any questions/comments/concerns we had, she is very professional, and she is very warm and friendly. We had an initial meeting with Toni to discuss what we had in mind for our ceremony and from the moment we met her, we knew she was going to be an excellent officiant for our wedding and the right "fit". We had a non-denominational/non-traditional wedding. I am Vietnamese and my husband is Caucasion. I had wanted to incorporate some of my Vietnamese cultural wedding traditions into the ceremony and Toni was very accomodating to what I had wanted (we ended up incorporating a Vietnamese Tea Ceremony into our wedding ceremony). She had a whole list of possibile "scripts" for our ceremony and we were able to pick and choose from her list and we were able to add/modify things to fit "us". This made the ceremony very clear-cut and easy for us because we had no idea on what to do or where even to begin when it came time to figure out what we wanted said during the wedding ceremony. We were able to write up a personal story about "us" and incorporate it into the wedding ceremony. We were able to write up our own vows and she was able to incorporate these into the ceremony. We had an outdoor ceremony and she projects her voice very loudly and clearly (our guest count was 200). At the end of the ceremony, she had us both turn to face our guests which was completely unexpected but I think for both my husband and I, this was one of our favorite parts of the ceremony. We got to stop and see all of our guests and all of their faces which is all such a blur when you're the bride and walking down the aisle to stand next to your man so this was a very nice touch in the end.

I highly recommend Toni. We spoke on the phone and then met in person. She took the time to get to know us. We were able to select what we wanted (and didn't want) in our ceremony which made it "our" ceremony. She was always very quick to get back to us whether it was by phone or email. Very professional. We got a lot of comments from our guests on how beautiful the ceremony was.

Toni gave us the most beautiful wedding ceremony! We continue to receive compliments on how wonderful and unique it was. Throughout the planning process and the actual ceremony, she made us feel very comfortable and helped us design a ceremony that fit us. She made me feel very relaxed on the day of the wedding which I greatly needed. I can't wait to see our wedding video to rehear all of her beautiful words and message.

Toni was fantastic to work with! Her ceremonies allow couples to have a lot of flexibility and decision-making in how to customize the ceremony to fit each couple's taste. We received numerous compliments about the ceremony and how unique it was in comparison to other weddings. It really left an impression with our guests!

I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for an officiant. I am so glad that we found her!

I think finding an officiate is the hardest part of the planning. Toni was a perfect find! After we talked with her over the phone (we live out of town) – we knew she was right for us. She sends you a document to give you ideas of a ceremony and then works with you to make it all yours! We did meet with her to go over the ceremony. We can not believe how many of our guests came up to us after the ceremony to tell us how much they enjoyed it and appreciated all that Toni had to say. People told us it was refreshing, thoughtful, warm, and perfect. And we agree! She was amazing. HIGHLY recommend!

Toni helped create a ceremony that reflected our personalities and the things that were important to us as a couple. She took the time to get to know us and throughout the planning process was extremely responsive to our questions.

We were so happy to have Toni officiate our Wedding. She was professional and serious about what she does but her personality shines through with warmth, caring and her absolutly great sense of humor! She really put us at ease and was so great to work with. Toni was really interested in getting to know us and what was important to us on our wedding day. She enabled us to have our own unique ceremony that really highlighted our personalities!Thank you Toni!

Rev. Maddi has such a beautiful easy-going personality, she made the ceremony planning process completely stress free. With so much kindness and enthusiasm she listened to all our ideas, she guided us without being restrictive and delivered an incredible ceremony. Our wedding ceremony was so personal and unique that every one of our guests has raved about how wonderful she performed our wedding. The compliments have been endless.

Toni Maddi was so amazingly easy to work with - EVERYONE had approached us during the reception to say how wonderful she was.

Toni was great and performed our ceremony exactly as we wanted it, as well as being a pleasure to work with. Professional and personal. Highly recommended!

Toni Maddi did a wonderful job at our wedding. Prior to the ceremony we were able to work together to develop a script that incorporated all of our personal touches. She was very calm and helped us get through the ceremony. We had a bilingual ceremony (English/Spanish) and she was great! She's a very professional person and we highly recommend her.

Toni was very helpful with my husband. She calmed him. He was so nervous.

I couldn't have asked for a better person than Toni Maddi, when it came to the joys and struggles of the big day. She helped me stay calm when things got crazy, she helped me laugh when things made me angry, and she helped us understand just how personalized our vows and wedding ceremony could be. I recommend Toni Maddi, for any wedding, baptism, or any spiritual event. I hope to some day have her be a part of my childrenÂ’s baptism and first communion. Many of my guests commented on how unique and beautiful our ceremony was. Toni helped us create a beautiful experience for our wedding day. Thanks Toni,Kristen Gioe

Toni was wonderful! She was well organized....which we loved and appreciated.

Toni was absolutely the best to work with! Almost a year later, we are still getting comments on how special our ceremony was. She really personalized the ceremony for us, and made it very memorable. It was such a beautiful day, and I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for an officiant. I am so glad that we found her!
