Officiant in Milwaukee area

Anyone have any recommendations about officiants in the Milwaukee area? We're not getting married in a church, so we're trying to find someone to marry us. Having a friend ordained is out of the question (we just can't decide on who would do it), and we'd like to have a professional. Thanks!

    We're going with Reverend Jennifer Miller. I met with a couple officiants, and I was the most impressed with her. Neither FI nor I are religious, and she's doing a completely custom ceremony for us with no religious influences. So far I have been very impressed with her creativity and her level of responsiveness.

    We found a local judge. There is a list on the City of Racine website with numerous judges/lawyers that can perform wedding ceremonies. I called many of them and we finally met with the one we ended up choosing--Judge Barry. Not sure if he will travel to Milwaukee but you could check, and I'd also check Milwaukee's website--I'm sure they have a list as well.

    We contacted Rev. Jennifer Miller too and she was far too pricey.  For people to ask upwards to $600 to do a ceremony is beyond ridiculous in my opinion.  We ended up going with Rev. Nichole Baird.  She is $195 for rehearsal and ceremony.  She writes your ceremony for you and personalizes it to how you wish.  We've asked her for a nondenominational ceremony and nonreligious and it's exactly what she's given us.  She's even included some humor into the ceremony, which is completely our personalities.  :)  Let me know if you want her email address.
