Rev Brad was an absolute gem! He took the time to learn our love story, and it shone through in the heartfelt ceremony he crafted. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the personal touch, making our day truly special. If you want a memorable ...
ceremony, look no further than Rev Brad!
My wife and I were completely satisfied with this program for both our wedding service and our pre marital counseling. They tailored a program for us that was unique, intimate and happy.
Brad was honestly the best officiant we could have hired for our wedding. When we first started researching officiants, it was really overwhelming as all officiants seemed to offer around the same things, and we couldn't find someone who really...
spoke to us. We didn't want our ceremony to be very cut and dry and scripted like any other weddings. And then we came across Brad. What sets Brad apart from the other officiants is the way he prioritizes couples’ love story as the main focus of the ceremony. A wedding should be about celebrating love and recognizing that love, and Brad really embraces that. We remember watching a preview of Love Story Weddings and being in awe at how beautiful his delivery was and how intentional his word choices were. He also has a very charming and warm personality, which made us feel instantly comfortable during our consultation. It was clear how genuine he was in truly getting to know us. The consultation was so helpful in that it helped us see how the whole ceremony would be played out with no surprises and that we were able to make changes however and wherever we wanted. We knew Brad was the perfect officiant for us and booked him on the spot. He was professional, accommodating, supportive, and knowledgeable throughout the whole process, and when we read the script he wrote for our ceremony, we were both in tears (and my husband rarely cries) as how beautifully it was written. On the day of the wedding, he officiated the most perfect and personable ceremony that we could have ever dreamed of. We received so many compliments from guests regarding how amazing Brad was and how much they love the love story idea. They asked us where we found him and were surprised to know that he didn't know us prior to the wedding. We truly cannot recommend Brad at Love Story Weddings enough!
Any questions?
Rev. Brad Hughes was the ABSOLUTE BEST! We cannot say enough good things about him. We started working with Rev. Brad about a month before our wedding since our original officiant fell through. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and...
then walk us through the ENTIRE ceremony process via zoom from the beginning to the end. This allowed us to obtain a clear picture of what our ceremony would be like and if it would be a good fit for our big day.
We liked that the ceremony would be personalized and customizable to us as a couple, making it special for everyone. We also liked that the ceremony was traditional in aspects, but also had a modern spin (eliminating outdated/boring aspects). After discussing ceremony details, I felt like we were able to communicate exactly what we were looking for or expecting for our wedding ceremony. We had been trying to create a memorable or personalized ceremony but had not been given the time or tools to accomplish this with other officiants. Rev. Brad also attended our rehearsal, which allowed our wedding party and parents to meet him and run through what the ceremony would be like, which we thought was extremely beneficial.
On our big day, Rev. Brad captured our love story perfectly and had our ourselves, friends, and family laughing, crying tears of joy, and smiling during the entire ceremony. The ceremony was brief, yet kept our guests engaged. Several guests approached us after our ceremony and said it was very well done and was THE BEST wedding ceremony that they have ever attended or seen. If you need an officiant for your wedding, look no further, Rev. Brad is the man for you! We thank you a million times and will never forget our wedding day.
Love Story Weddings did an absolutely amazing job officiating our wedding!! Our love story was shared and conveyed in a way that was so special. We got SO many compliments on our ceremony with several guests telling us it was the best ceremony...
they've ever witnessed, and that was thanks to Brad. His professionalism, vibrant personality, and attention to detail truly set him apart. Thank you for everything.
So glad we chose Love Story Weddings & Reverend Brad to officiate our wedding ceremony this past August! 💍 From the start, Rev. Brad was a pleasure to work with - he’s a very down to earth person who truly listened to our needs / wants for our...
ceremony. He took our “love story” and transformed it into something beautiful and engaging. He definitely understood the assignment and knew that we didn’t want to bore our guests! 🙌🏼 Most importantly, he helped kick-off our wedding day in the best way. Everyone loved the ceremony and thought it was personable and heartwarming, which is what we wanted. Do yourself a favor and choose Love Story weddings - you won’t regret it! 🩵
We would highly recommend Love Story Weddings for your wedding day officiant needs!
Our officiant, Mike, was absolutely perfect and we could not be happier with our decision to work with the Love Story Weddings team. Their process for creatin...
g a personalized ceremony was exactly what we were looking for. Mike was very thorough in the planning process and always made us feel like he was invested in learning about myself, my husband, our entire love story.
He created a ceremony that was PERFECT for my husband and I and exactly what we wanted to celebrate our love and share it with our guests. We got so many compliments from our guests after the ceremony about the love story portion and how much they loved the personalization and getting to hear about how we met, fell in love, and got engaged.
Mike did such a great job and knew exactly how to balance the fun, sentimental, and humor in the ceremony. He was so professional and the way he led our ceremony, our friends and family thought that Mike had known us as a couple for years.
We would highly recommend Mike and the Love Story Weddings team for any couple looking for an officiant on their wedding day!
Bryan was our officiant, and our ceremony was PERFECT. He took the time to get to know us and our story beforehand, and we loved how the ceremony centered around our story as a couple. He was great to work with and super communicative, and the ...
whole thing was perfectly "us." We got so many compliments from guests. Thank you, Bryan!
Brad was AMAZING. The entire night we kept getting compliments on how interactive and an elegant speaker. We loved how he captured our relationship and truly said how we felt. We highly recommend Brad for your big day!!
Our wedding ceremony was made even more special thanks to Love Story Weddings. RT is an excellent natural speaker who made everyone feel at ease. The bridal party had a blast with him, and the guests had nothing but good things to say. We're so...
grateful to have had him as our officiant. I especially loved how Love Story Weddings featured all of the wedding ceremony essentials and also included our own personal touch as the bride and groom.
Where do we begin to express our gratitude to Rev. Brit Gilman, and Rev. Brad Hugh’s for creating the most beautiful, personal, and meaningful wedding ceremony we could have ever imagined. We are truly blessed to have found this amazing team. T...
here is no need to look any further, if you want the best! We originally met with Rev. Brad, and he was fantastic, but not available on our wedding day. He said his colleague, Brit Gilman was available that day, and felt he would be a perfect fit. He couldn’t have been more right!! From the moment we met Brit, we knew we needed to end our search! Brit’s professionalism, attention to detail, & responsiveness was extraordinary. Not to mention he’s just an awesome guy, and we hope to continue our friendship in the future. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house, and we will remember, and cherish our amazing ceremony forever. We have received numerous compliments from family and friends. We have already referred Brit, and will continue to do so every chance we get!! There really aren’t enough words to express our gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for getting to know us, and telling our beautiful love story in such a touching way!! If we could give you 100 stars we would. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Big hugs. Xoxo

Rev Brad was unavailable for our wedding day so we were paired with Rev. Brit who was amazing. He was so genuine and friendly and really cared about getting to know us and creating our perfect love story wedding ceremony! We were so so happy wi...
th our ceremony and received so many compliments from our guests! Thank you Love story Weddings!!!
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Brit Gilman and he was absolutely incredible. Brit was organized, personable, made sure every detail was looked over and an absolute pleasure to work with. Brit made sure our ceremony was exactl...
y how we wanted it and provided guidance in areas that we requested. We had a number of guests come up to us at the wedding and after the wedding saying the ceremony was the BEST ceremony they've ever attended, including their own kids weddings (HAHA). Love Story may seem pricey at first, but as someone who did thorough research you absolutely get what you pay for. If you are willing to spend 3k plus on your DJ or another vendor, be sure to budget the same for your ceremony officiant. This is your only wedding ceremony and it deserves the money and attention that Love Story Weddings gives to it. I am sad that the process is complete because Brit truly became Mark and I's friend by the end of it. We adore him and couldn't recommend him enough for your wedding.
Wow, where to begin. Only amazing things to say about Love Story Weddings. We first met with Reverend Brad via Zoom who walked us through what our potential personalized wedding ceremony would look like. He was incredibly kind, excited for us, ...
and accommodating which is what sold us right away to this company. Pastor Jeff Thompson was our officiant and he was extremely communicative, kind, and helpful. He answered all of our questions, walked us through everything with lots of detail, and wrote an absolutely amazing wedding ceremony script. It was so beautiful and all of our guests commented on how they loved how personal it was to me and my husband’s love story. Pastor Jeff was the perfect mix of delivering God’s message of marriage, adding in some funny stories, and sharing our love story in a beautiful way. This was the one part of my wedding that was 100% worth the price and I would hire them all over again. I couldn’t be happier!! Thank you so much to Jeff and Brad for the best day!
We were so grateful to have Brad officiate our wedding day. We cannot say enough good things about him and our experience. He made us feel so comfortable from the beginning with learning our love story and truly allowing us to share all of thos...
e details with him. Even our wedding guests were raving about Brad after our ceremony! We were really able to enjoy the ceremony, as he made it how we asked him to: funny, our love story, getting the guests involved, and just so beautiful. We would recommend Brad to everyone looking for an officiant! He will truly capture your vision and make it exactly how you want it!
Rev. Brad Hughes is an excellent wedding officiant. He is outgoing and personable. We felt like he really knew our story and made our ceremony feel personal. We received many compliments from our guests, and there was not a dry eye in the house...
. We booked his services along with 3 sessions of marriage counseling, which we felt were worth the slightly higher cost. He did give us a slight discount compared to a competitor and offered discounts for a videographer (which we did not use) and hotel accommodations (for future use). The only negative to mention is he was a little off with time management. We had to re-schedule some of our virtual meetings, and he was late getting us drafts of scripts and responding to emails. We chalk it up to it being peak wedding season (June 2023). Other than that, I highly recommend Rev. Brad Hughes
Brad is amazing!!! He was the first officiant we met with, and honestly no one could compare. Brad was out of budget for us but at the end of the day we made it work, in part due to his flexibility in payments. Not only did Brad put together a ...
wonderful script, he put the time aside to meet with us and run the script by us. From the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony he kept us on track. He made our ceremony so unique and engaging. HIGHLY recommend Brad and his team!!
Rev. Brad was the officiant for our wedding, and we could not have asked for a better officiant! We developed a very special connection Rev. Brad through his process, and it showed as we felt it during the ceremony, and received a lot of great ...
feedback from guests about how great and special the ceremony felt.
Rev. Brad was great! Allowed us to share our story, and he put it together in a concise but thorough program that our wedding attendees loved. Our ceremony was thoughtful, special, and ORGANIZED! He provides a step by step play book of how each...
part of the ceremony will unfold which makes the process smooth, simple, and worry-free.
We were in a pickle… my fiancé was looking at more of a traditional wedding and I wasn’t. I wanted to elope, to me there is nothing more intimate than just the two of us. I was able to convince my future husband to elope. Within 3 hours our wed...
ding efficient canceled due to sickness, we were frantically searching and and Rev. Brad Hughes was so kind to squeeze us in on NYE. He was extremely personable and really calmed my anxiousness. Thank you Rev. Brad for accommodating us and marrying us on NYE!! We’re very fortunate that we lucked out and had you marry us. Even though we were stressed with finding another person to marry us… I always feel like everything happened for a reason!
Love Story weddings was perfect for us. We did an out of state wedding to be near my husbands family and planned it in 3 months. The process was easy and felt right as soon as we met with Brad. He was already booked for our date but he recommen...
ded Reverend RT. Our wedding ceremony turned out perfect, it was the perfect length, personalized and tailored just how we wanted. I highly recommend!
Brad did an outstanding job at our wedding ceremony. He incorporated personal elements (which we approved ) and also provided professionalism and structure that is much needed during a ceremony. Several audience members asked if he was previous...
ly a comedian and mentioned it was one of the best ceremonies they have been to.
We also did martial counseling with brad. We found the initial assessment extremely helpful. We found the actual counseling somewhat beneficial and decided to only utilize 2/3 of the sessions we booked.
In conclusion, I HIGHLY recommend brad for your ceremony and consider counseling for the test results alone.
Unfortunately, Reverend Brad was not available for our date. Reverend Brit, a colleague at Love Story Weddings that Reverend Brad has known for many many years came highly recommended. First off, Brit is an actual pastor at a church and not ju...
st an online ordained wedding officiant. Although we are non-religious, this was not a problem. He was accommodating and willing to tailor the ceremony to what we wanted. He was easy to work with, and we had several meetings to go over ceremony ideas. A lot of the ceremony is based on results from a bride and groom questionnaire and then follow-up discussions with Brit. He collaborated with us to make the ceremony very meaningful, personal, and a little lighthearted. He communicated with us frequently to make sure that the outline was correct and that he had name pronunciations down, so we appreciated that attention to detail. He arrived an hour early to the ceremony and checked in with both of us to make sure all was well. His calming presence was welcomed. He communicated with the venue coordinator and DJ on the music and locations. Everything went off without a hitch. After it was over, many people commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony!
There are not enough good things I can say about Reverend Brad. From the first meeting my husband and I felt like we had know him forever. The process of planning our wedding ceremony with Reverend Brad was seamless, and went so smoothly the da...
y of. We STILL get compliments on how good the ceremony was, and they ask us if Brad was a close friend of ours because he just made the ceremony that intimate. We highly highly recommend him. He made out ceremony just perfect ❤️
Brad and Love Story Weddings was the perfect choice for my wife Kylie and I's special day, as well as the meetings leading up to the day. Brad was personable, attentive, and very easy to talk to! He's so detail oriented and makes planning the c...

Brad is truly amazing and we loved having him as our officiant for our wedding on 11/5/22! Not only did Brad hold several zoom calls with us to go over all aspects of our love story and our visions for the big day, but he also provided us with ...
a Google doc full of questions regarding everything you could possibly think of to get all the small and important details of our love story. Brad answered emails and texts and never left us in the dark if things had to change. Our rehearsal was information packed and really prepared us for the big day! The ceremony was flawless and we received so many compliments from all our family and friends on how amazing Brad was! He told our story perfectly, engaged with the crowd, got some laughs out of everyone and even brought some to tears. Wedding days can be such a blur, but thanks to Brad, we will never forget our ceremony and owe it all to him.

Response from the Vendor on 10/27/2022
Tessa! What can I say? You and Kyle were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish! So kind, so fun, and so wonderfully non-traditional! I loved the creativity and care that made your ceremony so uniquely YOU! I never told you this, but...
I never EVER write vows for couples, but I was happy to make an exception for you and Kyle because we got to know each other so well over THREE YEARS of working together toward your big day! I loved writing them so much that I am going to include your personalized vows below for all to see. Thank you for allowing me the pleasure of being your wedding officiant. It was truly a joy and an honor!
And here's what you get to live up to for the rest of your lives.... :)
KYLE and TESSA, you have now chosen to affirm your personalized wedding vows...
Do you, Kyle, take Tessa
to be your wife,
Do you promise to keep being wonderfully obsessed with her?
To love her as much as she loves animals?
To be silly together and adventurous with her?
To regularly make her really really laugh out loud (possibly until she snorts)
To love her even if that means pizza for dinner every night for the rest of your life?
To give her your company, and your undying support in sickness and health?
And give her a kidney if need be? Oh, and your whole life? Everything in your whole life? So I guess that includes your other kidney, and other major organs.
And since you don’t believe in “till death do you part,”
do you promise, as you two have always said, “to find each other in another lifetime,
just to do this all over again?”
And do you promise to love Tessa "more today than yesterday, less than tomorrow?"
If so, please say, I DO.
Kyle: "I DO."
Do you, Tessa, take Kyle
to be you husband?
Do you promise love him more than your cat, Asta?
To keep pushing him as he rides on the back of the grocery cart?
To keep impressing him with your level of empathy and compassion?
To keep decorating your home in July for Halloween, and in October for Christmas?
To keep 100% embracing and supporting all of his hugely large musician dreams?
And thereby give him your undying support for richer or for poorer?
And give him your spleen if necessary? Oh, & your whole life? Everything in your whole life?
And since you don’t believe in “till death do you part,”
do you promise, as you two have always said, "to find each other in another lifetime,
just to do this all over again?"
And, do you promise to love Kyle "more today than yesterday, less than tomorrow?"
If so, please say, I DO.
Tessa: "I DO."
(have fun getting your kidney & spleen tattoos, you two! :)
...And for those who really loved that, here is their love story leading up to their unique vows...
So, how did their love story begin?... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HZQ55PPmYJ4-_QdDIHFeYZlJaCJ2s8Xkcko7vxo18Fc/edit?usp=sharing

e one.
We could not say enough good things about Rev Brad from Love Story Weddings! Our wedding ceremony was one of our favorite parts of the day (very different from the many weddings we’ve gone to where it feels like the ceremony is just a necessity...
and afterthought). It was so specific to us as a couple and Rev Brad was so helpful throughout the planning process and ensured we were comfortable and that the ceremony would be exactly what we hoped it would be. We received so many compliments from guests on how beautiful and different it was than anything they’d ever seen.
From our very first Zoom call with Rev. Brad, we loved his energy and attention to detail. We immediately cancelled our calls with other officiants and booked him for our wedding. He was attentive throughout the planning process by making sure ...
to craft a script that was a perfect balance of emotional but also fun.
At the ceremony on the day of our wedding, he made sure to pronounce all names correctly and struck all the right notes by being both moving and energetic. We got so many positive comments from our guests about him and the ceremony and can't recommend Rev. Brad enough. His presence and delivery will complete any wedding day.
Rev. Brad Hughes was an outstanding officiate for our wedding! He had a very warmth speech that captivated all of my guests, I even had several compliments from them. The love story he had kept the audience interested and made both of us feel...
very comfortable. He was on top of things even though it started to rain right before the ceremony he made sure it was going to be a success. I give him 5 stars easily and I recommend him to any couple who is planning a wedding!
Reverend Jeff performed our ceremony and we couldn’t have been more pleased. He took the time to get to know us beforehand and that really allowed for him to personalize our ceremony. We had such fun anticipating the small parts of the ceremony...
that were only shared in the moment. Thank you for giving us such a beautiful and memorable day!
Brad shows that he cares for his clients through his compassionate story-telling. From the moment we met Brad, he had an infectious personality that we were drawn toward. He personalizes your ceremony to exactly what you need and want. He ensur...
es that you are pleased with the story he tells at your ceremony. He takes the time to get to know you and learn how you became a couple. During the ceremony, he brought life and energy to our guests. He spoke with a composure that kept everyone engaged and informed each guest what they needed to know about the special couple getting married. He is also extremely organized and helpful in the entire wedding process. He can answer questions you have about obtaining a marriage license or certificate. He is responsive to emails and requests. Considering Brad's extensive experience in officiating weddings, his assistance in all things ceremony is extremely valuable. Brad was a joy to work with, and we loved meeting him and having him help us say "I Do!"
We had Bryan Bradshaw officiate our wedding ceremony and he did a great job!! We first spoke with Brad who filled us in on everything Love Story does during a ceremony and my husband and I knew it would be a good fit for us.
Bryan would keep ...
us in the loop with everything and our pre-meetings made us feel like he wanted to get to know "our story" and he did exactly that! After filling out all of our information we had more meetings with Bryan so that he knew exactly what we did and didn't want included in our ceremony. I loved that we were able to look at his script word for word beforehand and that everything included in it was something we picked out or had a word in deciding. I would definitely recommend going with this company for an officiant. It is more pricey than we would've liked to spend but was worth it!
We had our wedding at Makray Memorial Golf Club and reverend Brad did a fantastic job. We had a 90 minute consultation with him and by the end of it, we felt like we had known Brad for years. We also chose to do premarital counseling with Brad ...
and he gave us valuable insights based on his own experiences with his wonderful wife Terri. Brad is an incredibly personable, genuine, funny person.
Brad’s experience in officiating weddings was apparent throughout the whole process. He helped walk us through the entire ceremony, personalizing it to how we wanted and giving suggestions along the way. He even gives a complete script word for word to ensure everyone is happy with the ceremony.
We have received so many compliments from our guests on how funny the reverend was, and also how unique and memorable the ceremony was. Thank you so much Brad for everything!
Rev. Brad Hughes was awesome to work with on our initial call. He gathered information about us and what we wanted and matched us up with Rev. Mike Ruge. Mike was great to work with! He was able to put together a ceremony that gave all of our g...

Reverend Brad was absolutely incredible! Just wow! We are so happy with our decision to have Brad officiate our ceremony and to tell our love story. He took the time to understand our story and pulled out the right details from us to truly unde...
rstand what brought us to our wedding day. His style is very flexible (integrating as much or as little faith as we desired into our ceremony) and his delivery was incredible. We chose to do the pre-marital counseling as well, and highly recommend. It provided us that time to step back and talk through things to get our marriage off on the right foot. Reverend Brad was a great facilitator and provided equal opportunity for us to talk through things together. Overall we are so pleased with Reverend Brad and highly highly recommend booking him for your ceremony!!
Love story weddings put together the most beautiful wedding ceremony! Our officiant was Rev. Mike Ruge who was fantastic to work with! He was a great communicator throughout the planning process. He took time to get to know us and our vision f...
or our ceremony. We saw laughs, tears, and many smiles during our ceremony! Our guests gave us many compliments about how beautiful the ceremony was! Love story wedding created a beautiful personalized ceremony for us. We were so happy to have worked with them!
Rev Rick officiated our wedding back in June and let me tell you, you're missing out if you don't book with Love Story Weddings! Rev Brad & Rev Rick were amazing throughout this entire process. The ceremony couldn’t have gone any better – they ...
did exactly what we asked for and molded the ceremony to fit us as a couple. All of it EXCEEDED our expectations completely! My husband and I received SOOO many compliments on the ceremony - from right after and still to this day! Everyone asked how we met them and our guests were surprised when we told them we only had 3 Zoom sessions with Rev Rick prior to the wedding. They were all so sure that we had known each other for years! No words will ever be enough to explain how much of an impact they left and the memories that we will always have of Love Story Weddings! We can't thank them enough!
Rev Brad did an amazing job telling our love story at our wedding.! My now husband and I took pre marital counseling zoom sessions before our wedding with Rev Brad and it was everything we needed to prepare for our big day. He was able to offer...
guidance and resources that would help us communicate better, he was always available when needed via text or email and was flexible with our night shift schedule.
On our wedding day Rev Brad made us feel comfortable and at ease before our ceremony and during. He made sure to check in with us and adjust to whatever last minute changes we wanted to the wedding. He told our love story so beautifully and our guests say it was the best ceremony they've been too! We would definitely recommend Rev Brad to officiate your wedding!
Rev Brad was phenomenal to work with. Our original wedding plans were compromised due to Covid, and we ended up having a micro wedding, as well as a vow renewal on our 1 year anniversary, both of which Rev Brad was so kind to officiate. Both ce...
remonies were incredibly special and unique. We didn’t want a run-of-the-mill ceremony, and Brad exceeded our expectations!
Bryan did a wonderful job with our ceremony. He made it so personal to our story and all of the guests were raving about it!! There wasn’t a dry eye!! We couldn’t recommend him enough!!! So professional and kind as well!!
So we interviewed Rev Brad, but he was unavailable for our wedding. Lucky for us, we were matched with Officiant Mike R. to help us with our love story! He did not disappoint! Through the process, he was very laid back, focused on getting to kn...
ow us, and really learning how and why we became a couple! He also helped us coordinate our big day at the rehearsal dinner the day prior to the event! The day of we were so nervous- he really helped us stay calm and enjoy our ceremony! Short and sweet and so well told! We got tons of compliments about his delivery of our beautiful love story! He was such a wonderful person to work with, very accommodating, and over all a fantastic human. We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else or any other kind of story! They really focus on you and your love together as a couple. So happy! Thank you!!!
Rev. Brad was one of the highlights of our wedding day! Book him ASAP!!! He made the ceremony perfect and guided us in planning every aspect. We had a slight hiccup on the day of, and of course Rev. Brad had a quick fix for us even though it ha...
d nothing to do with his role! He was amazing, we still get compliments about how great he was, all of our guests loved him!
Rev Brad Hughes did a great job for our June wedding!! We had plenty of people laughing and crying and lots of comments about how fun the ceremony was. People were definitely asking us if rev Brad was a friend of ours!!
In classic COVID fashion, everything about planning our wedding was ever in flux. Brad was flexible, accommodating, and always a pleasure to talk to and work with. He took away all the stress related to our ceremony because we trusted him to ma...
ke it truly about us and our love story. We got so many compliments after (both) our weddings (micro-wedding in 2021 followed by large wedding with reception in 2022) from guests about Brad and his services. Would recommend him 1000 times over.
Rev Brad officiated our October 2021 Chicago wedding. Brad was an absolute dream, and did an amazing job the day of and leading up to our wedding day. He captured and told our love story in great detail, allowing us to relive some of our most t...
reasured memories. Our ceremony was unique, fun, emotional, and he made us laugh several times throughout. Brad brought such love and energy to our wedding, it was palpable for us and our attendees. He navigated our ceremony with such grace and confidence that it allowed us to release any wedding nerves we were experiencing. Our wedding day was about celebrating our love with everyone that loved us, Brad bottled that feeling for us throughout the ceremony. We are so grateful for choosing such a wonderful officiant and highly recommend Brad to any couple getting married! Thank you, Brad! Emily & Tony
My wife and I were lucky to be assigned Reverend Jeff to officiate our wedding. From when we met with him, we could tell he took pride in his work. Love Stories specializes in getting to know you and making the wedding specific to your needs an...
d your story, and that was evident when we met with Reverend Jeff. We reviewed how we met, how we got engaged, and what we love about each other. He took a personal interest in our story and asked great questions that ensured he knew who we are and why we wanted to get married. He helped us customize a wedding ceremony that we both enjoyed. Being an interfaith couple, we wanted the wedding to help bring our two religions together, but really focus on the two of us and not be overly religious. Reverend Jeff, took our needs into consideration, helped us incorporate the religious aspects we felt comfortable with, and created a perfect ceremony. We received multiple compliments afterwards about how it was perfect and really encapsulated our love for one another. He also did a great job of ensuring our wedding party was prepared for the ceremony, and when they time came, he also got out of the way to ensure my wife and I were the only ones in the picture for our first kiss. Overall he knew exactly what to do the day of, and we could not have had as a successful wedding ceremony without him. Highly recommend!
We knew we wanted Brad to officiate our wedding during our very first meeting. He was so easy to talk to, and we loved the idea of our ceremony being the story of us. His attention to detail was incredible, he was so easy to get in touch with,...
and because he really knew what he was doing, I had little to no anxiety about my ceremony. We highly recommend Rev. Brad Hughes!
Brad was absolutely amazing at our wedding ceremony. We had a crazy weather day here in Chicago but he helped our ceremony be absolutely perfect. We received so many compliments afterwards and guests thought that we knew him personally because ...
he did such a great job telling our story. Highly recommend.
Brad was great to work with! He made our ceremony sooo much more fun then most by sharing our beautiful (and hilarious) love story. There were tears AND laughs, the perfect combination. We are so happy we went with Brad!
Our experience with Love Story Weddings (LSW) from start to finish was absolutely fantastic!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my husband and I were legally married in 2021 in front of immediate family only, and the ceremony lasted no more than fi...
ve minutes. For our rescheduled “big” event this year, we decided to have a longer “anniversary”/vow renewal ceremony to celebrate our marriage, but we wanted to avoid the aspects of a traditional wedding as we were already married.
We had an initial consultation with Rev. Brad Hughes over Zoom, where he reiterated LSW’s vision: the ceremony should be personal, fun, and engaging, and should primarily serve as an opportunity to walk guests through the love story of the married couple. He also provided a template of potential talking points for the ceremony that could be completely customized based on what we did and didn’t want. This was exactly what we were looking for!
Rev. Brad ultimately paired us with Rev. RT Maldaner for our wedding day, and we were extremely happy he did! Within a week after our initial discussion with Rev. Brad, Rev. RT scheduled a meet-and-greet to get to know us better, and we were encouraged by his friendly and energetic personality. Rev. RT is the man!
Both Rev. Brad and Rev. RT continually kept in touch during the planning process by answering any questions we had and reminding us what tasks needed to be completed to finalize our ceremony script. Rev. RT also worked with us at our rehearsal and was very patient while he waited for our party to arrive and when explaining the expectations for the next day. Organization and communication were excellent in every sense, we never felt abandoned, and knew our ceremony would turn out perfect!
On our wedding day, Rev. RT showed up early and made sure all guests felt welcome. He conducted a fantastic ceremony--one that inhibited laughs, tears, and smiles from everyone involved. We received so many compliments from our guests: they praised the ceremony for being incredibly personable, the length being not too long or short, and for it being a wonderful mix of funny and emotional. Rev. RT’s efforts ensured that our wedding day was nothing short of spectacular, and we cannot thank him enough.
We cannot give high enough praise for our experience with Love Story Weddings, Rev. Brad, and Rev. RT, and recommend them for your wedding!
Rev Brad is the best!! Our wedding was in North Shore of Chicago but 95% of our guests live out of state so they ceremony was their first impression of the big day. We knew we needed someone that could engage the crowd and be a true profession...
al to help the ceremony go silky smooth. Brad was the best choice from the very beginning because he took interest in getting to know us as a couple. We had multiple zoom calls leading up to the wedding. Brad had great communication and a very thorough processes to guide you to wedding day and go in feeling ready and prepared. There were so many personal touches and my stepdad even mentioned Rev Brad in his speech later that night. He said it was the best ceremony he had ever been to and was so “us”. Would highly highly recommend!!
We LOVED our ceremony. Everything was simply wonderful. Rev. Brad Hughes was a great person to work with. Since we first met with him we knew we wanted him to officiate our wedding. He was very friendly and open minded. He walked us through the...
ceremony steps and made sure we understand everything and we are comfortable with that. He listened to our suggestions and gave an honest opinion about some of them 🙃 it was very easy to get in touch with him, we didn’t feel left alone during the planning process. He replied to all emails and texts very fast. He was able to accommodate different religion backgrounds my husband and I are coming from which made both families very happy during ceremony 🙃
Our ceremony was just the best! People were laughing, crying and praying all in good matter.
We highly, highly, highly recommend Rev. Hughes. Love Story Wedding is the best decision for a wonderful celebration.
Thank you 😊
Our officiant was Reverend Brad Hughes with Love Story Weddings. He is a 10 out 10! The time he spends with you to craft the ceremony and his ability to keep everyone’s attention during the ceremony was perfect.
We couldn’t have had a better e...
xperience. We’d highly recommend him.
We were unsure on exactly what we wanted for our officiant for our wedding and found Rev. Brad/Love Story Weddings on The Knot. We met with him and realized he was extremely personable and charismatic. We loved the concept of telling our Love S...
tory as our ceremony. Brad made sure that our ceremony was completely personalized for us, including giving us ability to review the ceremony script beforehand and full veto rights to anything if needed. Brad also ran our rehearsal and made sure that our bridal party and immediate family knew what to do on the day of the wedding. The ceremony went so great, and we got many comments on how professional and charismatic Brad was. We would highly recommend Brad to other couples!
Thank you Rev. Brad for everything you've done for us! Rev. Brad was very fun to work with, and he made our friends and family laugh. Rev. Brad made our "Love Story" come alive in his own unique way. We couldn't have done it without him, and w...
e're so happy to have Rev. Brad helped celebrate our big day!
Rev. Brad Hughes was absolutely outstanding. We were very fortunate to have him officiate our wedding ceremony. Within one zoom call Brad was able to plan and walk us through exactly how our ceremony would go. The day of our wedding he did ever...
ything perfectly. He had our guest thinking that we have known him for years. We still get compliments to this day. We would highly recommend him for any ceremony!
Love, The Whites
BRAD WAS PHENOMENAL! He wrote our “love story,” so perfectly for our ceremony! Once we hired Brad, he was on it. He prepared us, allowed us to edit how our ceremony would go and he took that info, personalized it and made it perfectttttt!
Bra...
d was very professional, but laid back and gave us that feeling of ~calm~ during our time with him. EVERYONE, And I mean, EVERYONE, complimented my husband and I’s ceremony and thought it was so “personal ,” and “entertaining!”
Brad thank you so much for all you did you us and being the best officiant in Chicago! We appreciate you!
Rev. Brad told our love story beautifully! Our guests loved his energy and humor, well done 👏
Brad stole the show! In a good way :)
I can’t even count how many of our guests said how amazing the ceremony was. The prep work with Brad paid off and he was able to write the most beautiful script for my wife and me. I can’t recommend Brad e...
nough. He truly cares about his work and straight DELIVERED.
Book him!

Brad is absolutely amazing to work with. He really took the time to get to know my husband and me prior to wedding day. He really personalizes the ceremony, and he knows how to keep people engaged. Our ceremony was so intimate and personal, and...
all of our guests appreciated it. My husband and I will always remember my ceremony fondly and clearly because of Brad.
Rev. Brad is the absolute best officiant out there! We are so lucky and blessed to have found him for our wedding day. Literally everyone can't stop talking about how amazing the ceremony was. They say it was probably the best ceremony they've ...
ever been a part of and witness. I don't think we will ever stop talking about it. It was the perfect length, had the perfect amount of humor, religion, love, and affection put into it. Brad was absolutely incredible and such a blast to work with. Everyone thought Brad has known us our whole lives with how personal the ceremony was. It honestly felt like he had known us forever when we met him for the very first time at rehearsal. With the pandemic, we have only zoom called but felt so natural meeting in person. Also with the pandemic, Brad was always so professional and accommodating with postponing our wedding. He had some great tips and advice to organize all our vendors and pick a new date that worked with everyone. Unfortunately, Brad had some serious personal event come up very close to our wedding day, but still showed up to our wedding. We are in awe how well he did with everything and shows how dedicated he is to all his couples. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him. We super appreciate Brad and everything he did to make our wedding a day to remember. He did an amazing job and was so fun to work with. Thank you Brad, everyone NEEDS him as your officiant, you won't regret it! Best decision ever!
How many weddings do you go to where you actually remember the ceremony? If you have Rev. Brad officiate you wedding your guests will always remember it! Rev. Brad is the hype man you didn't know that you needed, he is so energetic and keeps yo...
ur guests engaged in the ceremony. We received so many compliments on Rev. Brad's sermon. Everyone loves how he actually tells your love story! Your guests obviously know some of it, but this is the chance for them to get to know the whole story. Everyone loved it! Bonus point, now that they all know you don't have to answer questions about it all night.
You will not regret booking Rev. Brad to do your ceremony. Besides being great at the actual ceremony, Brad is very professional and organized and works closely with you leading up to the day of your wedding. 10/10, if we were planning our wedding again we would 100% go with Rev. Brad!
I don't know if words can fully describe how happy we were to have used Brad to officiate our ceremony. He really took the time to get to know my husband and me and created a sweet, happy, and beautiful script that told our story. It was unique...
and personalized, and it was clear the audience was engaged by the sounds of laughter and "awww" during the ceremony. I will never forget how I felt having him do such a great job at conveying our love for each other on the big day. Let's face it, wedding ceremonies can be a drag. Brad's method is unique, personal, and fun while remaining incredibly tasteful and appropriate. Based on the time and effort he put into meeting with us and creating our script, it is evident that he is passionate about what he does. Hire Brad to officiate your wedding!!!
Rev. Brad helped to make our ceremony so special. I came to him with an unusual request to help my brother (who was also my husband’s best man) to officiate our ceremony as a surprise. He helped me to pull this off flawlessly! My brother had no...
experience as an officiant, but Brad helped him to do a great job. All of our guests kept telling him what a wonderful ceremony it was. Brad was a pleasure to work with. He was very kind, patient, and reassuring with my brother which helped calm his nerves. The ceremony script that he prepared was so personal to us, sentimental, and humorous at times. It was so sweet that my husband, me, and our wedding party even cried at the rehearsal! We can’t recommend Rev. Brad enough. He helped us to create one of the most special moments of our lives.
I don't even know where to begin with this review. I found Rev. Brad on The Knot and watched a few of his videos and immediately fell in love with the way he spoke about the couples he was officiating. You could just tell he really got to know ...
them and was speaking from the heart. I told my husband that I knew he was going to be the one. After our first consultation the deal was sealed and I didn't want to continue our search. We booked him immediately. He was amazing throughout the whole process and gets to know all of the details before creating a beautiful love story about you and your SO. It really brought our wedding together and was something extremely unique that we will never forget about.
Brad Hughes made our day truly special for us and all of our guests. His ceremony was interactive, lively and a lot of fun! Our guests could not stop raving about how great the ceremony was. Brad has a great personality and is very easy to wor...
k with. Would highly recommend!
Thanks again Brad
We first noticed Brad when he was doing a rehearsal for another wedding. We saw how energetic, organized, and entertaining he was and we knew he was who we were looking to have for our own wedding. We already thought very highly of him from thi...
s experience, but he even exceeded our expectations. We worked together on a tight timeline (our doing - not his :-)) but that didn't matter because Brad is so organized. He has a technique and it works out so well. Our favorite part about his style is that he shares your love story, which is something our guests raved about and appreciated! Thank you for making our ceremony so special, Brad! You're the best!
We can't say enough good things about Rev. Brad. He did such an amazing job communicating with us throughout the planning process. We loved how he incorporated personal elements into our ceremony to make it unique to us. Brad did a really nice ...
job of blending more serious, sentimental aspects with funny moments to make the ceremony exactly what we wanted. Allowing us to read through the script prior was great, so we knew exactly what our ceremony would entail. We would recommend Brad to any couple getting married!
I don’t think we could have picked a better person to have officiated our marriage than Rev. Brad. He was an absolute joy to work with. He was so kind, energetic, fun and had everyone engaged and laughing throughout the ceremony. Then in the ti...
mes of seriousness, our guest really felt our connection and the love that my husband and I have for one another through the words he spoke. He gave us some of the most precious moments that we will never forget, and I absolutely loved how everything was fully customized to OUR story. He had my husband and I each write a few special sentences about one another, and it was probably the first time I had ever saw my husband cry. If you are trying to find to someone who is good at their job and making your ceremony one to never forget, I recommend Rev. Brad. Even after the ceremony, I had vendors and people talking about how great he was and asking for his information, he was truly the best!
Dear Brad,
I don't have to tell you how important the officiant is at a wedding. It sets the tone for the day and the words you said were from the heart and you certainly got the attention of every guest there. My daughter, Abby, & Ben will re...
member (as we all will) the message you gave us about coming together to make a marriage work. It IS a joint effort and I can't tell you how much I treasure the way you ushered them into this bond to think as a team!
I think every guest told me how much they LOVED you and the story you told of Abby & Ben. It was personal & funny, heartfelt & thought provoking. It was different and yet somewhat traditional. How perfect a setting for this unconventional couple! I just wanted to quickly say that I appreciated you and your style and I think you for giving them a good start on their journey! It was wonderful working with you and I know Abby & Ben enjoyed working with you too. You helped put their mind at ease for the day and that was a wonderful gift!
Rev. Brad helped us along our entire wedding planning journey!!! Ceremony was better that we could have ever imagined. Personable, fun, and fresh! We could not be happier about working with Brad. Our guests were so engaged and loved hearing our...
Love Story come to life as we tied the knot!
Reverend Brad was our officiant for our August 2021 wedding and he was phenomenal! He listened to every word during our two hour meeting and created a beautiful love story that encompassed everything we told him. During the ceremony he was pers...
onable, engaging, and quick with a joke when the ceremony arch unexpectedly started wobbling. I had so many guests ask me how we knew Brad and were shocked to find we didn't know him previously. I would highly recommend booking Brad for your wedding!!
We wanted our ceremony to be fun, engaging, and memorable for all our guests, and Rev. Brad delivered it all. From the very first phone call, we knew that he was the right officiant for us. He spent all the time he needed talking to us, getting...
to know us, and really understanding our story. Rev. Brad crafted our personal love story and wove that into every part of our ceremony. There were a lot of laughs, a few tears, and so much joy. We are so thrilled that we were able to have him as our officiant and highly recommend him for any couple!
Brad blew away our expectations. Starting with a two hour get to know each other and really helped us envision our perfect ceremony. He is thoughtful, energetic and really listens. He helped bounce ideas we never knew we needed. When it came ti...
me for the ceremony he knocked it out of the park. Told our story with laughs and tears in our eyes. We had a lot of family&friends say how great he was. "The things he said just made sense. It wasn't boring or monotone. He nailed it" a family member said. Shannon and I couldn't recommend Brad more!
Brad was absolutely amazing for our wedding! Everything leading up to the big day was so easy, and a lot of fun. He was always so energetic whenever we met and made sure that the entire script was catered specifically for us. Brad was so accomm...
odating and willing to hold virtual meetings since we were planning our wedding out of state. He made sure to keep our friends and families engaged from start to finish. We are so thankful we had the opportunity to meet and work with Brad! He was by far one of the best vendors to work with and we highly recommend him!
Deciding on Brad as an officiant is a must! My initial search was to find something unique and not the typical boring ceremony script. Brad does not disappoint. The ceremony was perfect. I cannot wait to see the love story video! Everyone was c...
omplimenting on him all night. One of my guests even asked if we knew him personally because he was so personable throughout. He was very easy to communicate with even with us being all the way in Texas (wedding was in Illinois). I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Brad made this whole experience so much fun and really made it easy on my wife and I. We had meetings to go over what he does and if it aligns with what we want. He sent us questions to fill out to help with our love story, and then he allowed ...
us to review our love story script before hand which was very nice. The ceremony was perfect! The way Brad delivered our love story was better than we imagined. All of our guests came up to us after saying how wonderful the ceremony was and how beautiful our story is. We couldn’t have had such a great wedding without Brad. Thank you for everything!
We absolutely loved getting to work with Love Story Weddings for our June 2021 wedding. We were able to work closely with Rev. Ed who worked with us on finding a package we could afford, the premarital counseling helped us build our relationshi...
p in a positive way and getting to personalize our script (and read it before our ceremony) was perfect. We were absolutely in love with the how personal our script was and how well he captured us. We had so many compliments all night on how sweet, funny and loving it was. We were so happy with Love Story Weddings and with Rev Ed! We could not have been any happier!!
Brad was a pleasure to work with!! He made our wedding ceremony so personable, just how my husband and I wanted it to be! He is truly great at what he does!!
5 stars!
