We had the pleasure of having Rev. Phil officiate our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From our first conversation to our wedding, Rev. Phil was warm, welcoming, and you can tell he knew what he was doing. The ceremony was beautifully personalized. Rev. Phil took the time to understand our love story and incorporated elements that truly reflected our relationship. The vows were meaningful and our guests loved his incorporation of our story. Rev. Phil lead our rehearsal and did a great job in helping set us up for our big day! On the day of the wedding, Rev. Phil arrived early, calm and composed, which helped ease our nerves. The ceremony flowed seamlessly, and their ability to engage our guests created an intimate atmosphere that made everyone feel included. We received countless compliments from our friends and family about how lovely the ceremony was, and we wholeheartedly agree. If you’re looking for an officiant who will bring creativity, engage with your guests and make it memorable. We recommend Rev. Phil!

Rev. Phil was worth every penny and then some! Throughout the entire process he was so warm and relaxed. He even made sure to get my more complicated first name correct, which meant a lot to me. He was always easy to reach, communicate with, and organized. Our guests told us that they had never been to a wedding quite like ours, and Phil was the stand out of the day! Telling our love story was so perfect and so us and Phil delivered.

Rev. Phil was amazing! He made our big day absolutely perfect and special! Our guests said that was the longest and sweetest vow they had ever heard! The "love secrets" part made the ceremony incredibly memorable, and it was really fun! We reached out to Rev. Phil only one week before our ideal wedding date, yet he responded swiftly, arranged everything beautifully, and gave us invaluable advice. Thanks to Rev. Phil’s support and professionalism, we now have unforgettable memories of our micro wedding!

We were fortunate to have Rev. Phil Landers officiate our wedding, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience he created for us.

There's a reason to all the 5 star rave reviews he's getting, and I'm fortunate to be able to experience it first hand myself. Rev Phil Landers played a huge part on how smooth our big day went and really personalized our ceremony experience! With all the planning and things to keep track of for the wedding, we knew we were in good hands when working with him on meeting him. He was incredibly responsive, detail-oriented, and an incredible story teller. Also, don't forget to mention the fantastic sense of humor. Definitely worth allocating the extra budget into working with him to curate our love story to tell to our guests! I highly recommend Rev Phil for anyone who is looking a wonderful personalized and memorable touch to your wedding ceremony.

5 stars is not even enough!! Rev Phil truly did a remarkable job. He makes the ceremony so personal, we laughed we cried and I wouldn’t change a thing about it! He is worth every penny and more. So many people after our wedding are talking about it. He keeps people engaged the entire time. Booking with him is a must if you want to have a wedding for people to remember.

We wanted to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible ceremony Rev. Phil orchestrated on our wedding day. His eloquence, warmth, and attention to detail made the moment truly magical for us and our guests. His guidance and support throughout the process were invaluable, and we are forever thankful for the role Rev. Phil played in making our day unforgettable.

Rev Phil is very personal with his process. At first we were surprised by the price, but after our first meeting we knew that there wouldn’t be an officiant better than him. The ceremony really was the part that our guests talked the most about. We highly recommend going through the first meeting then decide, it will definitely change you view on what an officiant really does in a wedding. We truly thank Rev Phil for making our ceremony phenomenal.

Reverend Phil is so wonderful, where do I begin? Without a doubt, he was the best investment we made for our wedding! He truly made the wedding so special and so unique to us that I don't think anyone else could ever do! He blew us and the guests away with his phenomenal ceremony. His storytelling, organization skills and professionalism are some of the qualities I loved about him so much. His attention to detail and light personality made the planning process so easy and smooth. Even the rehearsal was so well directed, I knew I could trust him on the big day. The ceremony is by far the most important part of the day and we knew we needed someone who understood what we wanted. Revered Phil goes above and beyond for his couples and from the moment we met with him, I knew we made the right decision. You will not be disappointed by having Reverend Phil at your wedding. We cannot thank him enough for his absolutely flawless work during the entire ceremony. The first words my husband and I mentioned, was how absolutely PERFECT the ceremony had gone. It could not have gone any better and truly was better than what I had imagined. Thank you Reverend Phil for making our big day a dream come true! Please choose to work with him and you will be overjoyed!

Extremely professional and considerate, Rev. Phil Landers tended to all our needs. It was an incredible experience and he was incredibly responsive and engaged to every step. It was great to have him.

Choosing Rev. Phil to do our wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. His ability to blend humor, sentiment, and profound insights into the ceremony made for an unforgettable experience. He was incredibly flexible in time frames and made the ceremony feel truly ours. Phil’s professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout, from the planning stages to the execution on the day. Our guests were thoroughly impressed and touched by the ceremony. If you want an officiant who can create a deeply personal and engaging ceremony, Reverend Phil is your person.

Reverend Phil did a wonderful job officiating our wedding and included parts that were unique and special to us. He was very thorough and reliable in his preparation and presentation for the ceremony, which is what every bride needs on her big day!

Reverend Phil officiated our wedding last month and did a phenomenal job! We were looking for officiants on The Knot and came across Rev. Phil with a ton of 5-star reviews. When we met with him over Zoom the first time, he was engaging, attentive and professional. He spent a ton of time with us, even before we decided to go with him. We chose him as our officiant because he was exactly what we were looking for - someone who would officiate a semi-religious, traditional ceremony outside of a church, but also tailor it to our personalities and love story. He did exactly that for our ceremony! When we got engaged, we had so many ideas for our reception, but not our ceremony. We previously felt like the wedding ceremony was just a requirement, a box we had to check. Rev. Phil made our ceremony so special and memorable. He exceeded our expectations and we received so many compliments after the ceremony. We highly recommend Rev. Phil and we are so happy we chose him for our wedding!

Rev Phil made our ceremony so special. He helped us every step of the way. Our ceremony was so special to us, and had such unique elements! Our guest said such wonderful things about the ceremony. Wouldn’t have changed a thing! So grateful we had Rev Phil to officiate our ceremony.

Reverend Phil made our wedding day even more memorable and special. My husband and I planned our wedding in just under 4 months, so we had so much to do with not much time to work with. Not only did the Reverend make our ceremony more interesting and more memorable by sharing secret things that we love about each other, he also made sure that everyone was on the same page throughout the ceremony, so that everything would fall perfectly into place, which definitely took some stress off of us! We're so glad that he was our wedding officiant! We highly recommend!!

One of the biggest compliments we are still receiving (we were married in July) is regarding our ceremony and how Rev Phil put it all together! Rev. Phil guides you through the entire process. He is like a wedding planner for the perfect and most personalized ceremony. I highly recommend him to anyone in doubt about who they may choose to officiate!

There's a reason he was on Netflix. His voice was made for ceremonies, and his experience and preparedness are second to none. Even after meeting with a few other people, it became pretty clear to us that all of the aspects that we liked from different people came back to Rev Phil and/or others he had trained. Rev. Phil is also incredibly responsive and organized. It may seem like a lot, but there is definitely a method to the madness. After having been in several other weddings as a groomsman, I have only grown to appreciate Rev Phil more and more. The price is incredibly reasonable in comparison to others, especially given the quality of the deliverables. I would not hesitate to recommend Rev. Phil to anyone.

Working with Reverend Paul as our wedding officiant was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. My husband and I really debated hiring an officiant versus asking someone in our family to marry us. We could not be happier that we made the decision we did. Our ceremony was truly memorable. Rev. Paul had all of our guests engaged throughout, with moments of laughter and happy tears, as he shared our love story. After the ceremony, we had SEVERAL guests come up to us to tell us that that was the most special wedding ceremony they had ever attended. A month later, people are still talking about it. Rev. Paul was organized and responsive throughout the process. He made sure our rehearsal day ran smoothly in order for us to have the most perfect wedding day. My husband and I also decided to do premarital counseling with Rev. Paul. I could not recommend this enough!! Through the several counseling sessions, Rev. Paul ensured we felt comfortable and really helped us to continue to grow our strong relationship. We truly started our marriage off on the right foot due to all we learned throughout these sessions. Thank you Rev. Paul and I Do Weddings for making our wedding so incredibly special!! We can't thank you enough!

Rev. Phil was nothing short of amazing! He was so detail-oriented with our love story and ceremony. He really captured the best moments to share with our guests. He also always gave us the option to add or remove parts of the ceremony to fit our style which was very important for us. He communicated so well throughout the entire process and we couldn’t have asked for anything else! Our guests LOVED him.

Rev Phil was fantastic. We connected with him so easily from the get-go, and he cared about the details as much as we did. Over the course of our wedding planning journey, we’ve had regular and ad-hoc meetings with him. He assigned us “homework” for us to think about together and return to him on set dates, which wasn’t too much nor overwhelming and kept us organized on the ceremony outline. He’s very responsive; I could easily get a hold of him via email/text. He’s also very flexible; we’ve changed our mind on certain unity symbols at the last minute and, after discussing with us, he pivoted. We truly appreciate him for his high quality service, professionalism, and understanding of the “crowd/audience”. Our ceremony was very engaging as a result, and we loved that we were able to show respect to our families’ religious/cultural backgrounds while at the same time ensuring that it’s not boring and that our guests learn about us and our love story. Thank you, Rev. Phil!

Reverend Phil was recommended to us by our venue coordinator at The Seville in Streamwood Illinois. No better choice could have been made. From our first meeting with him over Zoom (so much easier with ours and his busy schedule and our having a toddler), we knew we were in good hands. His preparation was evident from the very start. He is meticulous in getting the details of your event (and your life!) correct, while maintaining a personal connection that makes you feel so at ease with the process. The meeting does take some time, but trust us, it is worth it when the day comes! He will drive you towards looking at what truly matters, your love for one another, and most importantly, that you convey your true feelings to each-other. Reverend Phil makes sure that every detail is included and that you have SO MANY less headaches the day of your event. He was our ceremony planner! We had a fantastic time and so did our guests. He is a wonderful presenter and had the whole crowd laughing throughout most of the ceremony. He is truly one of a kind and we were so lucky to be able to get him to participate in our wedding. Thank you Reverend Phil!

We discovered Rev. Phil online based on his incredibly high reviews, and we know we made the right decision to have him be our officiant for our big day! Rev. Phil was so accommodating, helped us pick a location for our private ceremony, and responded very quickly. He completely personalized our ceremony, and he knew how to make us feel so special for the best day of our lives. Thank you so much, Rev. Phil! We will always think of you when thinking about our big day.

We could not have made a better luck with Rev. Phil! People raved about our ceremony for months after our wedding and loving a ceremony is not something you hear most people do! Our wedding was personalized and Rev. Phil really has a great attention to detail. He made our day!

My wife and I chose Phil because of his experience with weddings. He worked with us around our busy schedules and communicated with us promptly if something needed to be completed before our wedding. The ceremony itself was amazing, all our family and friends said it was beautiful. Our family and friends will not stop talking about it even months after. Using Phil is something we do not regret. Him telling your love story is the best way for you to add your personal touch to a ceremony that almost always follows a certain script. Some people might consider his prices expensive, but it is worth the money.

Rev. Phil was extremely thorough in planning our ceremony. He did everything we wanted and then beyond. He made sure our friends and family were not only involved with our ceremony, but everyone afterward absolutely raved at how unique and memorable our ceremony was! 10/10, would recommend Rev. Phil!!

Our experience with Rev. Phil was truly the best! We were so happy to have found him. He took the time to meet with us via zoom for a consultation and we knew after that first meeting that we was the officiant for us! He is the perfect mix of traditional & modern. He includes so many personal touches that really makes the ceremony tailored to the bride & groom. He made the ceremony fun but it was still meaningful & heartfelt at the same time. I would recommend Rev. Phil to anyone looking to have a truly special wedding ceremony!

Rev. Phil did a wonderful job at our wedding! He was so on top of things and helped us through the whole process! He was very organized during rehearsal! The ceremony turned out great and we are still getting compliments from our guests!

Rev. Phil was fantastic. He was very thorough and spent a lot of time making our ceremony special and unique to us. We had many people approach us afterwards to tell us how great it was to hear our story and it was one of the best ceremonies they’d been to. He was wonderful in running the rehearsal and making sure the whole wedding party knew where they had to be. His prices are a little more than average, but he far surpasses others with the services he provides. We would highly recommend!

Rev Phil and his process set the tone for the evening! Rev Phil's ability to tell our story in a loving, interesting and at times humorous manner created a memorable ceremony for all of our guests! Simply wonderful!

Rev. Phil helped us have a beautiful wedding that was just what we had dreamed of. He made sure that the script covered everything we wanted to say and do, and in general made the whole process a lot easier. After the ceremony, several people told us it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to.

Rev. Phil has been such a pleasure to work with, from start to finish! He is personable, organized, & very knowledgeable about the wedding industry! Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted it to be, and so much more. It was loving, light-hearted, and personal. We received SO MANY compliments about our ceremony and how unique it was. Our guests absolutely loved it. Rev. Phil is an amazing writer/story-teller! He listens to every detail you bring to the table and writes the ceremony script in a way that your love story is brought to life for all of your loved ones to hear. It truly is an unforgettable experience! You will not go wrong by having Rev. Phil as your officiant!

If reverend Phil is available for your ceremony, look no further. His unique ceremony script and his amazing storytelling skills make the ceremony absolutely unforgettable. Rev. Phil officiated our ceremony on July 23, 2022 and from the moment we met him, he was extremely organized and consistently walked us through important steps of the wedding planning. He never misses any detail! If you hire him, you will be more than prepared for a perfect ceremony. He told our love story in the most amazing and funny way, and guests continue to rave about it weeks later. We are so happy we went with Rev. Phil and could not recommend more highly!

We could not have asked for a better Reverend for our ceremony than Reverend Paul Fasano. We knew as soon as we video chatted with him the first time that he was the person we wanted to be leading our ceremony. As an anxious bride he made me feel so much more confident in the ceremony process and I felt like it was something I did not need to worry about because of him. He also captured our story so well. So many of our friends and family have reached out to say that our ceremony was the best and most personal ceremony they have ever attended. They loved getting to hear our love story and it made them feel like a part of our big day! He is willing to go the extra mile and is just a really great person. All we can say is book Reverend Paul for your wedding! You will be so happy that you did!

Great officiant! I cannot recommend Rev Phil enough. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple and what our love story was. The zoom meetings we had with him were very helpful and made rehearsal night a breeze. Even though I had a wedding planner he really stepped up and took lead in the ceremony which helped my planner out a ton. He is very detail oriented and organized which is exactly what every bride wants in an officiant. He is a bit pricey but it was definitely worth the money. If you are looking for an officiant that will make sure your wedding ceremony goes perfectly, he is definitely your guy. 100% would choose again!

We absolutely loved working with Rev. Phil for our wedding! From our first meeting, it was clear that he was highly experienced, highly knowledgeable, and extremely organized. The entire process of working with Rev. Phil was seamless. It is so important to work with an officiant who is organized and effective, and you would be hard-pressed to find anyone better than Rev. Phil! He is accommodating, and ensures that the ceremony is personalized to the couple. The greatest sign of how great Rev. Phil is? We had a TON of our guests tell us how much they enjoyed our wedding ceremony, and how wonderful the officiating was. He was great to work with--my only regret is not having a videographer for the ceremony!

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!

It was the 5-star reviews that made our decision easy when we were deciding on a clergyman to officiate our wedding. So it’s only right that I share the wonderful experience we had with Rev. Phil. After our initial FaceTime meeting (which was about 1.5-2 hours…it went by fast!) that we really felt welcome and comfortable to move forward. Yes, it is on the more expensive but after our meetings, it really proved to be worth it. Our second FaceTime meeting, where we shared our love story and our wedding vision with Rev. Phil; he was attentive and patient. We didn’t feel rushed nor did he talk over us. We really felt like he listened to us. For our rehearsal the night before, we knew in advance that Rev. Phil would be unable to be present (as he had another wedding), he arranged for his associate, Rev. Ryan to help us with our wedding eve preparations. Even with some last minute changes, I was not worried or concerned because I had complete faith in Rev. Phil to deliver the ceremony we both wanted. Our wedding guests were engaged and impressed with the ceremony. Multiple people came up to us and asked if we knew Rev. Phil our whole lives! Even my 3 year old niece listened intently! One of my close friends told me, she has never cried like that at a wedding ceremony and she wants Rev. Phil to officiate her wedding, whenever she gets engaged! If you’re looking for a sign for who should officiate your wedding, this is it! Every detail was methodically coordinated, leaving little to no room for any questions or errors. We’re so happy that the beginning of our marriage commenced with the beautiful service Rev. Phil gave at our wedding!

2mos b/4 our wedding our church told us they could not marry us b/c my fiancé was divorced (an oversite on their part) I found Rev Phil on Wedding Wire and emailed, he emailed me back quickly and we talked the next day. Rev Phil takes this job very serious he gathers lots of details and at first you feel like what is all this about, then on the day you see why .. he is so detailed in getting information from you and your partner he tells the stories about you like a friend or family member would. His price is a bit higher and he will have some longer meetings with you , but trust the process and let him do his job b/c he is AMAZING at it. People have not stopped talking about how great the service was, and my Dad even said it was his first non-church wedding and he loved it.

Bride’s Lucky Number 2/22/22 My now husband and I have been together for 10 years, yes I know crazy! But we finally decided on a date and just eloped! We went to get our license, and the only time the court has available was in April! Not going to happen. We found Rev. Phil, and he made this bride to be happy as can be! He was able to accommodate a zoom ceremony for my husband and I. Rev. Phil made it very intimate and rememberable for just the two of us. He read a poem calledn“The Blessing of the Hands”, the author is unknown, and let me tell you definitely got the tears rolling! He will definitely be coming to our actually ceremony in about 2 years! In just the time we had to talk to him, you can really tell he makes two hearts fall even harder in the special moment like this!

From the beginning to end, we could not have been happier with Rev Phil! He is ultra organized, personable, funny, and very memorable. He was extremely timely in responding to us when we had questions and stayed on top of us for what needed to be done. He made this part of our wedding SO EASY! He made our Ceremony feel intimate but at the same time had our guests laughing and crying. We had multiple guests before and after our Wedding tell us how amazing our Ceremony service was. We used Rev. Phil and my sister also used him for her wedding. We would highly recommend him!

We are so glad we chose Rev. Phil to officiate our September wedding! When we were looking for an officiant, we were having a difficult time finding someone who truly wanted to get to know us as a couple and make our ceremony special. I grew up Catholic and knew I wanted some traditional aspects included in our ceremony even though we were getting married in a vineyard. Luckily, we came across Rev. Phil on the Knot and we are so glad we did! It is clear Phil loves what he does and got to know us as a couple to make our ceremony unique to us and our relationship. Three months later and our guests still rave about how special our ceremony was and how much fun they had attending! Rev. Phil made the ceremony planning process easy to the point we knew we did not have to worry, which was a relief since wedding planning has so many other things to worry about! He met with us on multiple occasions and provided suggestions along the way to make our ceremony unique. He went above and beyond to get to know our families as well. We cannot thank him enough for making our day so special! If you are looking for an officiant to make your ceremony filled with laughs, love, and great memories look no further!

Phil was awesome. He was truly involved in the wedding and the story that got us there. He spent a lot of time getting to know us and listening to what we wanted in our ceremony. Our ceremony was so unique! Between the love story, secret loves for one another, and the overall atmosphere of the ceremony, I couldn’t ask for anything more!

Rev Phil was wonderfully thoughtful and came through on all aspects of our wedding ceremony. We keep reflecting on what a phenomenal day our wedding was, and this was in no small part due to Rev Phil and his help! He made our ceremony a truly joyous occasion, telling our story and revealing details of our relationship in a way that set up really sweet, deeper conversations with all of our family and friends later that night. Rev Phil really made our day special (and well organized!) and it wouldn't have been the same without him.

Rev. Phil with "I Do" Weddings was a blessing in disguise when my husband and I were looking for the right person to perform our wedding ceremony. Getting married outside of the church, we were unsure where to even begin when it came to finding an officiant, let alone planning the entire ceremony. As it turns out, Rev. Phil is exactly who we were looking for! From our first conversations, it was clear that Rev. Phil was interested in getting to know us as a couple; our story, how we met, who is important in our lives. It really helped everything feel personal when it came to the ceremony. As far as the ceremony goes, Rev. Phil helped plan every detail which was a huge help to us, two people who have never planned a wedding ceremony before! In the weeks leading up to the ceremony, we were able to review and revise the "script" so it was exactly what we wanted. Our communication was excellent and incredibly easy from day one. Before the ceremony, Rev. Phil helped us run through our ceremony at our rehearsal with both our families and the wedding party. We truly feel like this helped ease our stress and worry about our actual wedding day running smoothly with no hiccups. On the day of our wedding, Rev Phil was definitely a calming presence and it was nice that he was truly a familiar face up at the altar. Our wedding guests raved in the days to follow about how beautiful and memorable the ceremony was. It was indefinitely our absolute favorite part of our day. My husband and I would highly recommend Rev. Phil to anyone who was looking for an officiant that is professional, seasoned in his craft, and will truly make your special day memorable and stress-free.

We planned our wedding less than a month in advance and rev Phil was quick to respond about what opening he had. He spent the time to have a facetime conversation with us and told us all he could do for us. We trusted him and it ended up being perfect. He helped us make sure we do everything on queue on the day of the ceremony. He also made the ceremony enjoyable and memorable. Multiple guests from the wedding came up to us and told us they enjoyed the ceremony because rev Phil made it fun and was thoughtful with his words. We would definitely highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks for everything rev Phil!

Rev. Phil did an amazing job at our wedding. I've received numerous comments regarding how great the ceremony was, which typically is not the case at weddings. He is extremely professional, and delivers a quality of service that won't disappoint!

Rev. Phil was very impressive... he was professional and hilarious! My wife and I want a light hearted ceremony and we got it the whole guest section was cracking up during parts of the ceremony. He took time to get to know us and put together something beautiful that we will always remember... thank you rev. Phil!!

Rev. Phil did an outstanding job as the officiant for our wedding ceremony! Our guests liked when he read the things we love most about each other. Rev. Phil made the planning process very easy with his detailed layout. We would highly recommend Rev. Phil to any future couples!

Reverend Phil was beyond wonderful at our wedding! He took time to get to know us and made our ceremony very special for us and our guests. He got a round of applause after he told our love story-- he is a great story teller, and has been talked about as a highlight from all of our guests. Thanks Rev. Phil!

Rev. Phil delivers on all the key points that you expect from a wedding officiant, from planning, locations, and all racial and religious traditions. But.. what rev Phil Landers also provides is the most memorable experience of your special day. follow his lead, be open and honest about your love for each other and your story, and he will provide you, your family and guest with the best wedding ceremony they have ever attended. Those who miss it, because they think it will be another blah blah blah.. going through the motions ceremony, will be jealous they missed on what will be one of the major highlights of your day.

Our wedding was this past June and we had Reverend Phil officiate it - the man is seriously incredible! From the first email sent he was always quick with responses (which put me at ease), so I knew from that point I wanted to hire him, and I am so happy we did. The amount of detail he goes into will truly make your ceremony unforgettable, we had friends and family rave to us about how much they enjoyed ours, and I have to say, our ceremony may have been my favorite part of our wedding day. We laughed, we cried, and everyone had fun (audience got some interaction too which was great)! The way he holds the attention of a room is amazing! Rev. Phil just overall made the whole wedding process that much easier because he puts 110% into every ceremony to make it as special and unique as possible. I would recommend him over and over until I’m blue in the face! I don’t think I have enough space to go on about how awesome an experience we had with him, I promise you’ll be so happy you had Rev. Phil officiate your wedding - worth every penny!

Rev. Phil was amazing! Why get Phil? Because there is not another officiant like him. First and foremost, our guests loved the ceremony. Rev. Phil made everyone laugh and cry, all while keeping important elements in that we were looking for. It was perfect and unique and totally us. He was very accommodating when we had to postpone our first wedding due to COVID, so we had the pleasure of Rev. Phil officiating our wedding and our vow renewals! The sessions before the wedding were also very important because Rev. Phil helped point out things we would need during the ceremony that we would've looked over...like a table for the unity wine. There were several tips that he shared along the way that we were very grateful for. It was also fantastic getting to know him along the way, so that when we stood at the altar it didn't feel like a stranger was marrying us. It was intimate because he already knew so much about my wife and I and our relationship. Rev. Phil is absolutely worth the extra money because of all the extra things he does and his incredible storytelling abilities. Thank you sir for two days that we will remember for the rest of our lives!

My husband and I could not be happier that we chose Rev. Phil for our wedding ceremony. He truly worked so hard and went above and beyond to make our ceremony special, personalized, and FUNNY! We received countless compliments once the ceremony was over from all of our guests. Rev. Phil was easy to communicate with, professional, and the first person I went to for advice (on literally anything wedding- he knows what he is talking about!!) Thank you again Rev. Phil, we will always treasure you and what you did for our day!!

Rev Phil is the absolute BEST!! I researched officiants over seven years ago when I first fell in love with my now husband. I was so impressed with his approach and how he conducted his ceremonies. It took six years for my husband to propose and when he did I knew I had to find Rev. Phil again because I wouldn't want anyone else to perform my ceremony. We were married on July 18th, 2021 and Rev Phil performed our ceremony. He made everyone laugh and cry with the way he told our special story. He listened to our concerns and wishes and made changes where we wanted them. Our guests are still talking about how amazing he was. They said they have never been to a ceremony so beautiful. Our ceremony was the most important part of our day and Rev. Phil went above and beyond to deliver every expectation we had and then some. He made it special and heartwarming. We are so glad we chose him and will always cherish our ceremony not just because it was ours but also because of the way Rev. Phil made it all about us in a way that stood out from every other ceremony. We love him!!!! Thank you Rev. Phil. You are truly the best!!!

Rev Phil was a delight to work with and made our ceremony that much better. We received lots of compliments after the ceremony about how he conveyed our love story. I believe because of him we will remember our ceremony and how unique it was.

AMAZING, nothing short of amazing!!!!! Rev Phil was Absolutely AMAZING!! I'd recommend him any day.. Personal, thoughtful, and special pretty much sums up my experience. Thank you again!!

Due to COVID-19, we had to reschedule our wedding from June 2020 to multiple different dates. We had booked Rev. Phil back in early 2020 and when we had to reschedule our wedding, he was super accommodating and great to work with! We ended up doing a private ceremony in October 2020 and then had our big reception in June 2021. Rev. Phil worked with us for both dates and we couldn't have asked for a better officiant! He goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect for your wedding. He essentially became a wedding planner for us, making sure our photo/video was there on time, our DJ had the right music, our coordinator at the venue was aware of everything. He made it so much easier to feel relaxed before our ceremony! And then the ceremony, both in October and June, was amazing! It was beautiful, romantic, elegant and funny. It was perfect for my husband and I and showcased our love and personalities! I would 10/10 recommend Rev. Phil for your wedding 😊

Rev. Phil is different from any other officiant. We've never heard anyone rave about a wedding ceremony, but after our ceremony, everyone came to tell us how much they loved our ceremony! At first, we thought Rev. Phil was a bit pricey compared to other officiants, but he is worth every penny! We can't wait to watch and hear our love story over and over. We would highly recommend booking him for a unique and memorable wedding ceremony.

Rev. Phil is amazing, he made our ceremony so memorable, all our friends and family were asking where I found him because he was so on top of everything. I was skeptical at first because the cost of his services was out of our original budget, but once I sat down with him I knew he would be worth every cent! Wedding ceremonies are normally boring, but he made ours so much fun with the way he reiterated our love story. He is also very knowledgeable of wedding traditions from different cultures, my husband is Filipino and I am African-American. Right away he asked if we wanted to include any cultural traditions without us having to explain them to him and I was very impressed. With Rev. Phil, you get so much more than just an officiant, he truly is a story teller and honestly could be a great wedding planner as well. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect!

Very memorable Thank you so much forever and Phil you really made our first wedding very memorable exciting what a great experience it was with you our third anniversary renewal of our vows was such a great surprise loved to seeing you again you really made our day so wonderful can’t thank you enough. Thank you for going out of your way thank you for the experience we really feel as if you are not only a friend but family we recommend all of our friends and family to Reverend Phil anybody looking to get married or renew their vows anything to make it memorable this is the Man to get

After extensive research we chose Phil to officiate our wedding. During COVID it was virtually impossible to get a time within two months at the Cook County court. Phil was very flexible and was able to officiate as soon as the following week. Phil was not only professional, had rich experience in all types of weddings, but also very communicative throughout our wedding: before the wedding he sent us a detailed list to walk through the process, and called me to make sure he has my name pronounced correctly; during the wedding he gave us a quick run through of the process so that our friends knew what to expect and could help take the best photos (honestly we had no idea about the process of western weddings before this); after the wedding he helped us with the scripts such that I can translate the wedding ceremony video and share with my family abroad. Overall he alleviated much stress from us throughout the process.

Rev Phil was such an incredible officiate( and assistant planner lol) for our wedding. We had several meetings with him over the course of booking him to officiate our wedding. He really took the time to get to know myself and my husband before our wedding, taking note of how we met, where we fell in love, how we got engaged and going over mini details of the wedding that we haven't we thought of, he's very through with his approach and no details go forgotten. Everyone from our wedding was talking about how our ceremony was the best they have ever seen. He had the crowd laughing, crying and bringing all the emotion into our wedding. We even recommended him to our friends who were getting married after us and they also had so many compliments. Even during COVID we had to move our wedding several times and he was very supportive and accommodating. It was one of the best decisions of our wedding. Thank you, Rev Phil.

At  our ZOOM ceremony, Rev. Phil was amazing!! The whole process was easy, fast and personal. Rev. Phil responds really quickly to texts, emails and phone calls. We were originally put on a waiting list for cook county to do a civil ceremony but the wait was too long and our certificate was expiring. Rev Phil was available right away. We got to choose the date and time that worked for us. He explained everything to us and helped whenever we needed it.. The secret vows really added that extra personalization that made the ceremony that much more meaningful. Extremely happy I decided to choose someone else and didn't wait for cook county to get back to me. Rev. Phil was the best choice ever!

Rev Phil was such a great officiant for our wedding. After everything we went through with our original wedding, and then planning a small wedding in October 2020, it was nice to have someone who was thoughtful of our budget but also what we wanted for our close family and friends. The biggest takeaway: everyone said this was the best ceremony they had been to because they actually learned why we love one another. That's HUGE! We've all been to weddings that are just a lot of ceremony and not a lot of why the couple should get married. his format gets that across. It's better than saying your own vows, I will tell you now. And, the icing on the cake is he let us add in our own wedding rituals (I am Filipino so I had the cord and veil and my now husband is part Scottish so he wanted to incorporate the quaich. It felt very custom, very intimate, and everyone was so positive about Rev. Phil and how he conducted our wedding.

Choosing Rev. Phil Landers as our wedding officiant was the absolute best choice we could have made when we decided to plan our intimate wedding ceremony during COVID. He was extremely responsive, helped us choose our location, and really explained what to expect throughout the ceremony. The secret vows portion was sooo memorable and my favorite part of the entire day. We can't thank Rev. Phil enough for all he did to help us have a memorable wedding ceremony.!!!

Best thing about Rev. Landers was how easy he made the whole process for us. Our plans changed a lot due to Covid and some of the plans were last minute. It was wonderful to know that no matter what, we could count on Rev. Phil! Thank you!

Rev. Phil was great to work with as the officiant for our wedding ceremony. We were originally going to have our ceremony and large reception in Sept 2020 but that got moved to next year but we still wanted to have a small ceremony with family. Rev. Phil offered to do the small ceremony, no charge. He is an expert in this and knows exactly what to do and makes it so easy and seamless. He tailors your ceremony to what you both want. He was great to work with.

Rev. Phil helped make our wedding ceremony extra special. We had a small ceremony outside in the middle of December in Illinois. (Thanks to Covid.) The weather was chilly but the ceremony performed by Rev. Phil was heartwarming. Rev. Phil was very accommodating and extremely easy to work with. He personalized our ceremony and helped make the day memorable.

Our experience was beautiful, Rev Phil Landers made us very comfortable, he put a lot of heart in his words and made the whole process as easy and possible!

Reverend Phil officiated our wedding in October 2020. The planning process started early on with a couple in person meetings (before COVID turned wedding planning upside down!). Rev. Phil is very thorough while planning the ceremony process. He lays everything out in a script which goes through several rounds of edits to make it perfect. No detail is left out, which makes the day run extremely smoothly. The ceremony was very personal and special. We knew we wanted the ceremony to be about us and our love story, and Rev. Phil definitely delivered. He told the story of how we met, and how my husband proposed. He also shared what we love about each other which was a very romantic and personal touch. We got so many compliments from guests! It was a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. Rev. Phil does a great job!
