About Celebrations By Phillip

Celebrations By Phillip

Owner

Having officiated more than 500 weddings, I am passionate about helping couples create the wedding ceremony of their dreams. I work directly with you to personalize every aspect, from discussing and tailoring your vows to crafting a ceremony that truly reflects your unique relationship. While some traditional elements exist, we'll find wording that feels authentic to you. I am committed to inclusive language and have extensive experience with interfaith ceremonies, and I warmly welcome couples who are expecting. My focus is always on making this a joyous and deeply personal occasion for you and your loved ones.

Unlike many officiants, I offer couples significant control and input in their wedding ceremony. You're welcome to contribute as much as you're comfortable with, from selecting readings to even choosing what I wear. I also prioritize capturing beautiful memories, actively assisting the photographer with portrait opportunities, and ensuring a clear shot of your first kiss by stepping aside. Knowing this is a unique and precious occasion, I'm dedicated to perfecting every detail.

In three words: Collaborative, Fun, Reassuring

    Celebrations By Phillip was an exceptional choice for our wedding officiant. We actually attended another wedding he officiated & we loved the way he really got to know the couple & speak about them. From our very first interaction, Phillip was open, gracious, and transparent in his communication style. He demonstrated a genuine dedication to ensuring our special day was everything we hoped for. Phillip provided thoughtful premarital counseling to us before the wedding, which helped us feel even more prepared and confident in our marriage to one another. Phillip truly got to know us as a couple & it was apparent at the alter. We had so many friends & family ask how long we have known Phillip - that's how aware of us & our relationship that he was! Leading up to the day off, he expertly guided us through the timeline and kept everything running smoothly. Phillip's trustworthy and sincere approach made us feel completely at ease, and we are so grateful for the meaningful ceremony he helped create. We highly recommend Celebrations By Phillip to any couple looking for a wedding officiant they can truly rely on!

  • The best officiant!

    I first met Phillip as a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding that he officiated, and he immediately made a positive impression with his experience and compassion. A year and a half later, we had Phillip officiate our own wedding. Throughout the entire process, Phillip provided all the necessary guidance and offered his wisdom so that our ceremony would run smoothly. We were impressed with how well the ceremony script reflected our personalities and wishes. He managed our rehearsal with our parents and the wedding party perfectly. All of this resulted in a beautiful ceremony that we will remember fondly, and received complements from everyone we spoke with. If you are looking for a capable officiant for your special day, I highly recommend Celebrations By Phillip!
