About
Are you looking for an officiant for your Chicagoland wedding or civil union?
I am Reverend Janet Volk, an ordained wedding and civil union officiant serving couples throughout the Chicago metropolitan area. I specialize in designing wedding and civil union ceremonies that reflect each couple's distinctive relationship and unique style. Whether spiritual, religious, interfaith, cross-cultural or civil, I will create the custom ceremony of your dreams.
In my coursework leading to a Master of Divinity degree, I studied at a variety of Chicago graduate schools of theology (Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Baptist, United Church of Christ, Unitarian Universalist and Presbyterian). Between that experience and my own personal faith heritage (Episcopalian, Christian Science, Roman Catholic and Jewish ancestry), I respect and honor people of all faiths as well as those whose belief experience is more of a personal one.
Since 1999, I have enjoyed meeting couples, listening to their stories, presenting them with an array of possibilities and then crafting ceremonies of which no two are the same. I officiate only one ceremony per day--this allows me to completely focus on each ceremony and to give each couple the attention they deserve!
With over ten years of experience in planning, preparing and performing wedding ceremonies, my confident presence will help you feel relaxed and ready to fully experience and celebrate every moment of your wedding day!
