Brother Street Minister Ecco
Ordained Minister in Lansing, Illinois
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became ordained because people have always come to me for real guidance, support, and honest conversation. I’ve been the person family, friends, and community members come to during hard times, relationship situations, losses, and major life decisions. Becoming ordained was a way to officially step into that role and serve people with purpose, respect, and authenticity.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Lansing, IL wedding officiant?
My ceremonies feel real. I don’t believe in making couples sound robotic or reading generic scripts that don’t match their relationship. I take time to understand the couple’s vibe, story, and personality so the ceremony actually reflects them.

Based in the south suburbs of Chicago and serves families, couples, and communities throughout the Chicagoland area and surrounding suburbs.

Having roots in the Chicago area allows me to connect naturally with people from many different backgrounds and walks of life. I take pride in creating ceremonies that feel genuine, welcoming, and personal — whether traditional, modern, spiritual, laid-back, or community-centered. My goal is always to make people feel comfortable, respected, and fully present during life’s important moments.
