Services Offered
One on One service
The Love Story is a very personal service, and he will work with you to make sure that your ceremony is not just special, but it's the one that you want.
The Sweet and Simple
This option is all about getting you married, whether at town hall, your own home, the spot you got engaged or wherever you like. It's a few people and your vows, and the start of your story.
The Friends and Family
This option is the start to finish process of creating a day that's all about your story. From the initial meeting to the rehearsal, the selection of your vows to the creation of your ceremony. This is the option for those times when you are sharing your day with all those with whom you want to write your story.
How He Works
He would love to be able to help you reach your goals for your special day, yet he is often booking into the next calendar year and beyond, so don't wait too long to make him part of your story. The Love Story is available to serves religious affiliations which include Agnostic, Anglican, Baptist, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist, No denomination, Orthodox Christian, Presbyterian and Evangelical couples.
I can't say enough great things about Phil. Even through COVID, and not being able to meet in person as we would have liked, my husband and I felt like we knew him. He catered to all our requests, even at the last minute. He has a wonderful commanding voice, that is warm but easy to hear. Our ceremony was brief as it was cold outside, but it was still warm, personal with lots of laughter. It was a magical day and we can't thank Phil enough.

Hello Corette & Wolfgang,
It was wonderful to be able to bring your lives together, in spite of the circumstances, I loved the random crowd that stopped their walks and cheered your first kiss!
All the best as you journey together!

Phil is great!
As with most 2020 weddings, we had to make numerous changes to our wedding plans. Phil rolled with all the changes made and was a calming influence every time we chatted. The ceremony he created in the end was beautiful and we were so grateful to have him officiate our wedding!

Amazing guy! Amazing Officiant!
Philip was the speaker during the funeral of my husband's step-father and the officiant for our special day! He proved that he can truly do it all and holds a special place in our hearts. He was funny and uplifting during our rehearsal and great on the day of the event! He was able to make my nervous maid of honour laugh at herself and feel comfortable, reminded us subtly about steps we forgot during the rehearsal and ceremony. Overall, he makes you feel like a friend is performing the ceremony and that the day is about the love you and your husband share. He is not too serious, not overly a stand-up comedian, but just the right fit! Thank you for making our wedding a day we will never forget!

A dream come true
From the first time we met Philip, we could tell he was a perfect fit for our wedding day. He did a great job at making us feel comfortable and making sure we were able to enjoy our big day. Our guest loved him equally as much as we did. I hope we’re lucky enough to attend another wedding where Philip is the officiant.
