"Jill was the perfect celebrant for our wedding. She gave us thoughtful surveys to get a handle on our personalities. The order of our vows was perfect. We incorporated several cultures and traditions. Jill was knowledgeable and wove it all into a unique experience that embraced us and our special friends and family. Jill is a passionate and responsible Officiant. We highly recommend her."

"Because of Jill, our home is a special and a sacred space for our family. Jill took such great care and pride in crafting the prayer scroll that she prepared for us. Jill sat with us in prayer, read her blessing for us and then we were invited to share as a family before we all signed the spiritual document with Jill as our witness. When you walk into our home now, the blessing is the first thing you see as a testament to all who enter, ourselves included, that this is indeed a sacred space - our home is a clearing for love, trust, and prosperity. With our home blessed by Jill it has been affirmed as a truly special place. Thank You Jill; your words and blessing enrich our home and our lives."

"If you are looking for an officiant for your wedding, Jill Brown is awesome! Ours was a re-marriage but had all the sentiment and specialness of a first time marriage. Jill was very interested in our love story and her questionaire was extensive but was worth answering every question. She knew us and we knew her without ever meeting each other. She was very sensitive to the mood we wanted to set. She created a ceremony just for us and hit all the right tones and high points. We were married outside on a very special Covered Bridge in Parke Co, IN. It was very spiritual in nature, complete with an Apache Native American Blessing.. But she would be completely at home creating something traditional, inside a church, carefree and casual, or on the beach, If you are looking for someone that is in-tune with the times, completely non-judgemental, a free spirit, kind, loving and caring we would recommend Jill. She is a beautiful person!"

"This has been an important year in my life. I sold my condo in IL, retired, and moved to Maine. During my time in Evanston, life happened and I treasured the space that I called home with its beautiful architecture, view of the lake and wonderful community. When it was time to leave, I couldn't just walk out and close the door behind me.

On that last day, all the furniture was gone and the windows were bare, much as it was when I moved in. Yet wonderful memories of my quiet times, lovely parties and welcome guests lingered.

Jill, You understood my need to say farewell -- together we gave thanks and asked for blessings for the condo and those who live in the building, you spoke of the home I created for myself in that place; you honored my decision to move on and blessed me and my next adventure to seek a home far away. It was wonderful to speak of the woman who was moving into the condo and wishing her the same joy in her new home as well.

The neighbors who joined us were so moved by your words. Our celebration provided closure for them as well as me. The experience we shared, gave me a vision of what lay ahead for me as well as for the home I was leaving. It was a beautiful goodbye.

So thank you dear Jill and know of my happiness as I create my new home and life in Maine."

With gratitude,

"Jill Brown performed our elopement ceremony and was absolutely wonderful! We were quite last minute with our planning and she became someone I could email and rely on for anything at all. She helped us more than just our ceremony. She had great suggestions and was always very quick to reply to all of my emails! I also really appreciated that she took the time to talk to us in order to get to know us and personalize the ceremony for us. I would like to thank Jill and Chicago Choice Ceremonies for helping us create the day of our dreams! Everything was perfect!"
