Wow, I don’t even know where to begin ~ Bobbie was INCREDIBLE. Truly outstanding work. I would recommend her to family, friends, and/or strangers in a heartbeat. We chatted with many potential officiants, but once we met Bobbie we knew she was the one for us. Not only did she guarantee that our ceremony would genuinely reflect who we are (which it 100% did), she also provided us with ideas, reassurance, & validation that we didn’t even know we needed. She has the kindest soul and truly guided us to the magic that was our special day. She was available to us whenever we needed her, she was always on time and ready to go, and the way she treats people brings so much grace and elegance into a room. I am a BIG fan of Bobbie Ellis and would choose her over and over again to stand between my new husband and me on our special day. If you are looking for a sign, this is it!!! You need Bobbie at your wedding! 🤍

We had a great time working with Bobbie - she worked with exactly what we wanted for the service, and gave great suggestions for the things we weren't sure about. Her suggestion to privately write our own vows was a winner, and she had timely feedback on said vows. She provided excellent support both on the day of the wedding, and the paperwork afterward.

Bobbie was incredible to work with! She was so informed about the wedding ceremony and pre/post marriage license processes - it made what can be an overwhelming process feel easy. Bobbie wrote our ceremony thoughtfully and lovingly. She really got to know us as a couple and incorporated our personal touches into the ceremony so it was "ours". We heard laughter and saw tears during our ceremony, which is exactly what we were hoping for, and received so many compliments after. Highly recommend working with Bobbie and Meaningful Ceremonies.

Had the pleasure of working with Bobbie for our wedding in January. I’ve never been married before so I kind of just assumed that officiants just show up the day of the wedding and perform the ceremony. Bobbie was SO much more than that. She worked with my husband and I for months before the big day and meticulously customized a unique ceremony that fit us perfectly. She helped us write our vows (which I found super intimidating before working with her), and made us feel so comfortable even though we were both so nervous. I can’t say enough kind words about Bobbie and all she did for us. If I had to do it all again I’d still pick her every time.

Bobbie was SO great!! She came to our rehearsal which was so helpful for us to figure out how we would walk in. She kept me feeling so at ease and I think just her calm nature really helps to feel stress and anxiety free. Bobbie really took the time to understand our hopes for the ceremony and to make it super personal to us. She had a lot of great suggestions in order to include everyone. She is very patient and I kept telling everyone that she was my therapist because she was able to help talk out my stress factors and keep me at ease both the day before and the day of.
Thank you so much, Bobbie, for everything!!

Bobbie was a wonderful addition to our wedding day!
She is extremely understanding, patient and kind.
Bobbie is very intuitive and easy going. After speaking with her for just a few minutes, she picks up on your style and approach to your ceremony and wedding day.
She follows your suit with how you want your ceremony to be, and provides great knowledge, experience and guidance. I definitely recommend utilizing her services.

We can’t say enough about the fantastic job that Bobbie Ellis did officiating at our wedding. She was professional, kind, patient, calming, punctual, creative, inclusive, had great ideas, and obviously knows what she’s doing. It was a wonderful ceremony and our guests were impressed by the excellent job that she did. We already have referred her to other couples and will continue to do so. If you want a wonderful ceremony, contact her, we’re glad we did! ❤️

Bobbie is wonderful. She was great to work with and made our ceremony fit exactly what we wanted. Bobbie stayed in constant communication with us throughout the whole process, I never had to chase her to answer questions. She was exactly what I wanted in an officiant: well spoken, easy to communicate with and knowledgeable about the whole process. Thanks again Bobbie!

Bobbie was always timely, professional, and was there for us every step of the way. The quality of her service is high and her fees are reasonable. We also had a very valuable marriage counseling session with before our ceremony. The ceremony was just beautiful. We are so happy we decided to have Meaningful Ceremonies take care of our special day.

Bobbie Ellis, the owner/operator of Meaningful Ceremonies, helped me through a difficult time after having lost a beloved pet. She created a "Releasing Ceremony" that helped me in letting go as well as memorializing my long-time companion. She is truly gifted in her ability to empathize and really listens to her clients and their needs. I would highly recommend her for any type of ceremony, be it one of letting go or one for joy!

Bobbie made my special day unforgettable. I wanted a small intimate and simple ceremony with just a few close friends and family. We chose to have our ceremony at the beautiful Soma Center she owns in Highland Park, which created a warm and spiritual environment. I’m sure she’d be great at a larger ceremony at a big venue as well, we just wanted a very personal and low stress ceremony that she helped respectfully tailor to our wishes.
She was with us and supportive of all our ideas throughout the planning phase, that she made so low stress and actually fun! Bobbie radiates kindness and compassion. She’s professional throughout but also very warm. I highly recommend Meaningful Ceremonies!

My husband and I are so happy we asked Bobbie Ellis to officiate our wedding. She is a joy to work with - professional, thoughtful, helpful, and genuinely kind & caring. In the months leading up to our wedding she was available anytime we had a question and always promptly responded to emails / calls. Everything came together perfectly the day of and we couldn't have asked for a more meaningful and personalized ceremony! Thank you Bobbie!! - Diane & Rob

Meeting and working with Bobbie was such a fabulous experience! She was so enjoyable to work with. She absolute loves what she does and always went the extra mile with us. She had so many creative offerings. We learned so much about the process of getting married and were deeply supported by her pre-marriage counseling.
Bobbie is a tremendous force for creating a ceremony that was everything and more that we could imagine. Highly recommend her!
