Amazing Experience

Amber is not only a professional person, but also a wonderful person who makes your wedding experience the best! We had her co officiate with one of our friends and she worked with us and our friend to ensure it was exactly what we wanted.
She is so personable and kind! Highly recommend !

Philip with the Love Story - Amazing experience!

Philip was amazing from start to finish! From initial contact to the big day, he was responsive, helpful and downright hilarious. He made us feel so comfortable and guided us through everything to give us the simple ceremony we had hoped for. He listened to what we wanted and gave input where needed. Everyone at my ceremony loved him! Everything was so "go with the flow" and even my husband felt comfortable (and he hates being the centre of attention). A+! I recommend him to anyone that wants to get married with a supportive and knowledgeable officiant!

Fantastic officiant

Phil officiated our wedding Oct. 14, 2022, and did an outstanding job. He was in control without being overbearing and his sense of humour was a hit during the ceremony and rehearsal. Phil was accommodating to all our requests, and made sure to incorporate our ceremony's special touches without a hitch. We can't thank Phil enough for being apart of our special day.

Great, experience - would definitely recommend!

My finance and I got engaged September 2019 when life was normal. We contacted Phil and het met with us right away to go over all the details of our special day. He is very knowledgeable, professional, tells us exactly what we need to do, and provides prompt responses to all email/phone call inquiries.
We ended up having to postpone our September 2020 wedding, and Phil moved with us to our new date no problem and no price increase. Our next date was unfortunately right in the middle of the worst part of covid - May 7, 2021. As we were very stressed with having to move the wedding to our backyard, cutting guests and everything else that was going on, Phil always made sure to make us feel comfortable. He would follow up weeks and days leading up to the date to tell us how excited he still was to marry us despite everything that was going on. It was really nice having him be so positive!
On the day, he showed up a half hour before and got set up. He made sure the day went smoothly and beautiful just like we had hoped it would be! He is such a personable guy who made the wedding day special complete with professionalism, but also laughs. I would definitely recommend Phil for anyone looking for a great officiant to marry them!

Best Officiant Ever!!

Phil was an INCREDIBLE officiant! His charisma, humour and professionalism were second to none. He was so easy to work with - from bouncing around ceremony ideas, to running our rehearsal, to officiating the most perfect ceremony.
Throughout the night, our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the ceremony and how much they enjoyed Phil’s way of officiating. We would recommended him to everyone!!!

Couldn’t have asked for a better officiant

Amber married my husband and I July 2022 and she was everything we didn’t know we needed. We reached out in a panic planning a wedding with three months before the big day and had no idea what we wanted in an officiant. The countless options for ceremony wording was incredible and her patience with us was exactly what we needed! Couldn’t recommend her enough💕💕

Excellent Celebrant and Service!

Phil is a great celebrant and took the time to really understand our story! As such he delivered on a wonderful service that was talked about by all who attended. You are in good hands with Phil and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anybody.

Amazing Officiant!

We are so happy that we went with Phil to be the officiant for our wedding! We got married on October 30, 2021. From the start, Phil was responsive at answering our questions and easy to work with. He is great at customizing the ceremony to meet your needs. He helped us seamlessly incorporate our first dance into the end of our ceremony. We actually did not meet him in person until our wedding day, but he was very accommodating and connected with us over Skype twice to make sure everyone in our wedding party was on the same page. Phil was amazing at keeping things light-hearted and keeping our ceremony on track. I would highly recommend Phil as an officiant to anyone getting married!

Fabulous wedding

Gary and I met Phil of The Love Story in November 2019. We knew immediately that we had met our officiant. Unfortunately, we had to postpone several times due to the pandemic. Phil was flexible with our many date changes and eventually came to our home to marry us. We were provided with many options for our service and Phil encouraged us to cater it to reflect our relationship. The day of our wedding Phil did not disappoint. He was comical, charming and endearing. Six weeks later our friends and family are still talking about Phil. You will not regret using the services of The Love Story and Phil Smith!!!
