Reverend Schoener
Officiants
Hello, My name is Reverend Tsilos Schoener. I am an Ordained Minister through both the Universal Life Church (ULC) and the Trinity Evangelical Christian Ministries. I do non-denominational and Interfaith weddings in my free time because I enjoy helping others make their dreams come true in Northeastern and Northcentral Wisconsin.
Wedding Services: I work diligently with couples to plan a wedding ceremony that best represents who they are and what they believe in. I conduct wedding ceremonies that either I help couples create or that they have otherwise chosen or written themselves. I do weddings in many places and can perform them in rented halls, in parks or gardens, nature repositories, back yards, or even in a couple's living room so long as they have their marriage license and two witnesses present to sign their license when the ceremony is complete.
Additional information: My husband and I were married in December of 2007 and I know how exciting it is to plan a wedding. We planned ours in six weeks and had a medium-sized wedding and reception in Schofield, Wisconsin. I know how it can be an exciting yet stressful time in the weeks and months prior to your special day; therefore, my mission is to work with you to create your special day that you will be proud of and will fondly remember for a lifetime with as minimal stress as possible.
Employment: In addition to helping others plan their ceremony and performing wedding ceremonies, I work as a solo practitioner of the law and have a private practice working mostly in criminal defense, but also helping people to enforce their rights and receive the benefits they are entitled to. I believe in human rights and in Justice for All.
Education: I received my Juris Doctorate (J.D.) in 2007 from the University of Wisconsin Law School and became licensed to practice Law in the State of Wisconsin in January of 2008. I have two bachelors degrees, a B.A. in Psychology, and a B.A. in American Indian Studies from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee in 2003. I was actively involved in student organizations and served several terms as a board member.
Community Service: I have been actively involved in Community Service throughout my life and have done things such as Legal Aid in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, volunteered as a tutor for special needs students in college, mentored students in academic and professional writing at the Writing Center at UW-Milwaukee, was a note-taker for students who were unable to take notes in class, and was a mentor for the Middle-Level Pre College Program at UW-Green Bay. In addition, I have worked in Legal Aid for low-income persons in Northern Wisconsin and American Indian Nations throughout Wisconsin, have worked as a Student Attorney for people with low-income, and continue to strive toward actively serving my community.
