IL Wedding Officiant

If you want an easy, pressure free, cozy, cute wedding, you are at the right place!!! We got married at Pine Manor this September, Thanked Goodness the weather turned out great as we could have the ceremony in the Garden… which looks flowery and romantic… We chose this venue right away after the walkthrough & delicious pastries served to us… We had the 30 People Package (the website is informative).
Pam did all the planning&Officiating…She and her assistant were so helpful (you can call them if you have any questions. Pam even helped us figure out the invitation ideas, and she does bouquet, Boutonnière as well, I LOVE the bouquet she made us!)…We had both photos & Video taken (we spent most of the time taking pictures and recording video, well, though it’s tiring, I guess the great memory need to be 100% captured)…Cake looked elegant, tasted great… We toasted with the engraved glasses (with the words we wanted to put on them)…Our Guests loved all the food as we all ate a lot…
If you want your wedding to be private, all close families, you are at the right place as well. The garden ceremony went smoothly even without rehearsal (it was less nerve-​racking as you’re no stranger to your guests), with all the blessings from families we jumped the broom… At the end of the day, we all started singing while having dinner & cake.
Before we left Pine Manor heading to the Hotel Jacuzzi Suite (including in our package), we got a gift basket from Pam which is real sweet… And she knows a lot of wedding traditions and stories…
Hope my review is helpful… Now I’m hungry thinking about the food I had on my wedding day.

All I can say is WOW! Rev. Pamela went above and beyond what my Fiancé an I excpected! She is a sweet motherly woman full of bright warm energy. From the moment she opened the door to her home, she greeted us with so much love. Her home is full of charecter and charm! Everything is so clean and decorated in a beautiful anitque kinda fashion… very classy! The whole ceremony was stress free and put together very well.
We are very happy we decided on Pine Manor and Rev. Pamela
She will deffiently make your day heart felt and memorable!
She is an EXCELLENT photographer!
Thanks Rev. Pamela!

Pamela did our ceremony at our home. She was great. She is so down to earth and a real person. We hired her son to do our photography, and they came right in and got to work. My ceremony was beautiful and so was our pictures. She gave us a laminated card of our vows that we wrote as a keepsake. Everything was PERFECT!!! We would recommend her highly!

Reverand Pam is a fantastic interfaith She traveled to our wedding location in Chicago, and worked with us to craft a unique and wonderful ceremony. She was kind, calming and professional. Our ceremony is something we will always treasure and Rev. Pam helped make is so. She arrived on time and helped make our special day all our own, customizing our ceremony to reflect our beliefs.
I also appreciated the laminated card of our ceremony and vows to each other, it is a true keepsake that I will treasure always.
We highly recommend her and her services!!! She is fantastic!!!

My partner & I were married at Pine Manor recently and had an amazing beautiful ceremony! Rev Pam made the entire experience stress free. We couldn’t have had a more perfect day. Her home and garden are truly beautiful. We highly recommend this venue!!! Julie & Alicia Dickinson-​Hoffman
