About

Rev. Bruce Otto of Spirited Weddings conducts all types of weddings based entirely on your wishes. The process normally begins with a no-cost, no-obligation meeting to get acquainted and so that Bruce can explain how he would work with you to design a ceremony that is perfect for you.

If you are looking for a beautiful, sincere and heartfelt ceremony that you will remember for the rest of your lives, Bruce can help you get just that. You will enjoy using his wedding planning booklet to personally select what you want to be included in your ceremony. Long before the wedding date, Bruce will provide you with a script of the entire ceremony for your review and approval. If you are not working with a wedding planner, Bruce will help you think through all the details of the ceremony and then on your wedding day, he will coordinate all those details for you. There will be no surprises in the ceremony and it will flawlessly reflect your love for and commitment to each other.

If you wish, Bruce can conduct a rehearsal that will help you and everyone participating in the ceremony to feel calm and comfortable on your wedding day.

Bruce is not a high-volume Officiant and normally does not conduct more than one wedding a day. Call or email Bruce today for more information, botto@spiritedweddings.com or 312 671-1804. You can also review his blog at ChicagoWeddingsBlog.blogspot.com

Bruce was fantastic!!

Bruce officiated our wedding in August and he was wonderful! We were looking for an officiant for a non-denominational ceremony and found him from reviews online. From our first meeting we really felt that he took the time to get to know us, our story, and what was important to us on our wedding day. We really appreciated that! He was really organized and had a ton of materials for us to choose from, but also let us customize as much of the ceremony as we wanted. He has so much experience, he really helped us with all the little details of the ceremony. He led our rehearsal and performed our ceremony perfectly. We received so many compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was. We were so happy with Bruce and would highly recommend him!!

Bruce officiated our June 2018 wedding at The Langham in Chicago. I never expected to get compliments on our officiant but we got several. He couldn't have been better. While Bruce was a bit more expensive than other officiants, we selected him because he was professional, thoughtful, and organized - a huge factor in my efforts go achieve a problem-free wedding day. Bruce gave us the opportunity to customize our vows as much or as little as we desired - he gave us a book with tons of options for every section of the ceremony which helped a lot. We met with him a second and final time about 1 month before the big day and he walked us through the entire ceremony, what would happen, timing, process, etc. On the day of the wedding rehearsal, Bruce ran everything and paid attention to every detail. While he was pretty formal during our initial meetings, he was wonderful and a bit more light and happy during the wedding which was a great surprise for us. He even had a section of the ceremony where he shared a few words himself which were quite meaningful and a very nice touch for us. Thank you so much Bruce, we could not have been happier.

Bruce is a very compassionate, well-spoken and professional wedding celebrant. He takes the time to get to know more about his clients to tailor their ceremony to be just that - theirs. Every couple that we have had the pleasure of working with together have enjoyed their marriage celebration immensely and were so grateful that Bruce was able to make it special for them and their family & friends. A truly cherished memory!
