Amazing!

I don't even know where to start! When I first called Phill back in March 2023 I explained what I wanted and told him my story as to why I needed him for my wedding in just 7 months. October 2023. He listened and had alot of advice to help make our day extreamly special. He assured me that our day would be exactly what we wanted and more, and it sure was! 100%! Phil is very patient and willing to answer any questions you may have
( and I had alot of questions) he made us feel comfortable and also helped us get through all of our diffrent emotions! Phil had a fun side to him and also a Professional side. He is well organized and has everything you need and more to say "I Do" You can use what he has and also add a bit of your own or alot of your own. Phil is a very open, approachable kind, funny, and caring person. We highly recommend you use Phil from "The Love Story" for your wedding. You won't be dissapointed😊 Thanks again Phil! You are AWEAOME!

A+ Across the Board

Phil was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. He has a clear deep speaking voice and a charming personality to boot. Not to mention his amusing comic shirts before the wedding! My husband and I wanted a traditional Scottish hand fastening ceremony, even though we didn't know much about it, and Phil walked us through every step. We even threw a couple of curveballs his way by having to change the venue 3 months before the wedding, and the time of the ceremony only a few days before but Phil was open and accomodating with each curve. I would highly recommend Phil to any bride looking for an officiant.

Amazing and would highly recommend

Philip Smith from The Love Story was such a kind, professional and light-hearted officiant who really made everything seamless and easy when we got married! He was so organized and eased our mind with all the details for our ceremony, vows and information on our marriage licence and certificate. We would recommend him and The Love Story for a personalized touch when you get married!

The Best Day Ever

Philip was the perfect person to make our wedding dream become a reality. He brought so much love and joy to our ceremony, as well as the right amount of humor to alleviate our stress and nerves.

From our initial call with Philip he made it clear he would work with any requests we had to make our day exactly how we wanted. He was open to any and every suggestion and had many tips and tricks himself to help make our ceremony run smoothly.

Every guest at our wedding praised Philip, we really couldn't imagine our wedding being the same without him as part of it!

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!
