you have TRULY LOVED are
the moments when
you have done things

About Us
The way you two express your love for one another on your Wedding Day is very important to us. It is our highest priority to honor a ceremony of your dreams and desires!
We have been conducting weddings since May 2003. We have helped many couples achieve their wedding the way they WANT it to be and have held them just about everywhere. It is our highest priority to help you create a ceremony of 'love & devotion'; to display to your guests how you both feel for one another and to include customizations, no matter what your situation is.
At Forever Enchantment, we want to help make your Wedding Day special, unique and customized for you, the Wedding Couple. We want to offer couples on a slim budget a chance to pay less for a beautiful ceremony, rather than going to your local Illinois County Clerk's Office.
Your Wedding Day ~ Remembered & Cherished;
The Way It SHOULD Be!
Officiant - Michelle R Baker, has been officially Ordained since May 12, 2003 and a member of the American Association of Wedding Officiants since October 2003. I have performed 500-plus weddings and I can tell you that it feels so GREAT to have found my niche in life! I am excited to bring my wedding-industry experience of creating special and unique weddings to you and the ceremony you want! I perform ALL weddings; religious, spiritual, themed, non-traditional, inter-faith, commitment, civil unions & vow renewals. Any special themed weddings are most fun and I can help you create the ceremony to fit in. Any and all can include: a Biker theme, Halloween theme, Movie Premiere theme, Hippy theme, Medieval theme, Royalty theme or any theme your heart desires!
The BEST wedding is the one YOU help to create!
I'm very personable, outgoing and I care about you two and the way your wedding will turn out. When you hire me for your wedding ceremony, I want to know as much information as possible as to what will help you both on THE DAY. By the time the ceremony day comes, I want all of us to feel very comfortable with each other, everything to run smoothly and for us to feel like we have been 'friends' for quite some time. (Don't be too surprised if I get goosebumps when you walk down the aisle or you see tears welling up in my eyes!)
I am a professional in what I do;
I LOVE it and it shows!
"Accept the things to which fate binds you,
and love the people with whom fate
brings you together, but
do so WITH ALL YOUR HEART."

Photographer - Chad Baker,my husband, is the "Man Behind The Camera" for our ceremonies we perform. He has had extensive experience in his years with weddings and he has very creative ideas & styles of photography for your wedding photos. He has received many compliments on his work and he is more than happy to do most anything you ask of him for your Wedding Ceremony. He does photography for Forever Enchantment weddings, ONLY. If you would like to view some of Chad's work with past weddings, I would be happy to schedule a time we could meet and share his work with you. We respect the privacy of all our wedding couples and do not post their photos on our website without prior written authorization. *All photos on this web site are past weddings that he has taken*
We strive to make your day special and affordable for your circumstances. We personalize your service while you customize it to your needs and wants. We look forward to hearing from you!
Payment Information: We accept cash, checks from an Illinois bank and United States Postal Service money orders. A 50% retainer is required to secure your date and time for you, with the balance due three weeks prior to your wedding date. (You can make payment arrangements for the balance after the retainer has been paid) ALL payments must accompany our Wedding Contract, no exceptions. If you book your wedding less than three weeks prior, full payment is expected for all services in order for your ceremony to be placed on our schedule. We cannot guarantee a secured date and time until a retainer or a full payment has been received.
Hours Of Operation: We try to be available at all times, but due to family life, calls are accepted Monday - Saturday, 9am-8pm. If you reach our voice mail, please leave a message and Rev.

For weddings, again, we try to be available at all hours of the day and night.
