5-Star WeddingWire Reviews – Laughter & Tears
Guests Rave About the Ceremony 3 Months Later!
“I reached out to Reverend Phil just after we had our friend cancel on officiating our wedding. Went on all the wedding websites, checked out his videos on YouTube, really did my research and everything I saw was great. It was a blessing in disguise that we needed an officiant because I honestly couldn’t have imagined our ceremony to be any more perfect than Rev. Phil made it. He is so thorough and gets all the details he can to truly create a special and unique ceremony for your day. His attention to detail is phenomenal, which was a huge “plus” for me, as well as his quick responsiveness to any and all questions.
We still have people raving about our ceremony and how much they loved it — it’s almost 3 months later! We all laughed and cried (happy tears, of course) and just enjoyed the moment. The way he holds the attention of a room is phenomenal!
Not only does he give his all for you, but you get to know him through the process and Rev. Phil is such a great guy, really enjoyed our meetings and just talking with him! So seriously, stop looking any further! Rev. Phil is a true master of his craft and will be the perfect addition to your day! Worth every single penny!”
-Ashley & Joe, The Drake, Oak Brook, IL (watch their love story video)
The Ceremony Was Favorite Part of Wedding Day!
“I don’t think many people can say that the ceremony was their favorite part of their wedding day, but we certainly can! Rev. Phil did such a wonderful job of getting to know us and bringing our love story to life. He builds in so many special moments into the ceremony, and he designs the whole thing to create pictures filled with tears and laughter! Could not recommend Rev. Phil enough. Probably the best money we spent on our wedding day! Worth every penny!”
-Jo & Brian, Firehouse Chicago, Chicago, IL

- Sharing your love story puts the emphasis on what unites you – your love!
