About this vendor
I have officiated MORE than 600 weddings in past 30 years. (Check out the reviews/4 min. video on my website) What event in our culture produces so much JOY for so many people in such a short period of time? Your wedding day should be one of the best days of your life. Your Wedding Minister should provide a WOW factor for the ceremony. My emphasis is to make the ceremony PERSONAL and warm. Your family and friends are there to CELEBRATE the day with you, not endure someone reading a script!

Having Pastor Phill at our wedding day was an amazing experience. He was great to work with, friendly and provided a great experience for us and our guests.
We are so glad we chose Pastor Phill and would recommend him to any couple.
Pastor Phillip Rogers did an amazing job officiating our wedding. He brings a strong message about marriage based on God that appeals to people of all views. Pastor Phillip provides great recommendations to personalize your ceremony while providing structure with his message. Quincy and I not only appreciated his ceremony, as did many of our guests. I would recommend him for anyone religious or not as he provides a ceremony that everyone will have strong take-aways to build their marriage.
Pastor Phillip did a great job and gave a great message at our ceremony! We received so many compliments regarding his performance and the event as a whole. He did a great job of adding personal touches that make our ceremony ours. The only reason I didn't give him a 5 star rating is because he pronounced my name incorrectly a few time throughout the ceremony, but recovered for the end!
Our review is best summed up in the thank-you note we sent Pastor Phillip - it really does speak for itself:
"There are no words to thank you for the amazing role you played in our wedding celebration. Thank you so very much for your expert guidance – as we meet with family and friends over the holidays, folks are STILL talking about how phenomenal you were, and the praise is well deserved. You wove the perfect tapestry of scripture to unite people of all faiths, and chose the perfect words to make the ceremony uniquely our own. You are as much a part of us now as our own families are, and we are blessed and honored to know you.
Our wedding was indeed the greatest show ever, and we could not have raised it to that level without your help. Thank you, sincerely."
Held in the historic Redford Theatre in Detroit, our wedding was a spectacular (yet respectful) tribute to our Star Wars fandom; complete with Stormtroopers, lightsabers, theme music, and creative uses of the movie screen! Pastor Phillip integrated a beautiful interfaith ceremony that was both serious and hilarious at times, and held the attention of every audience member in the best possible way. It was perfectly "us," all thanks to Pastor Phillip's expert grasp of who we are as a couple. He takes the time to truly get to know you, and does not simply read from a canned script. We could not imagine our wedding being as amazing as it was without him!
Pastor Phil Rogers's was the perfect fit for my wife and I’s wedding. First and foremost, his Baptist/christian faith was what we were looking for to honor God and our familys with relevant biblical scripture to our ever after and Phil picked the perfect passages. Second, Phil has a great sense of humor and definitely helped and told stories of meeting my wife and I and humorous/loving stories of his grandparents love; which helped me eliminate a lot of nervousness I had before giving my vows and standing in front of everyone before one of the biggest moments of my life. Third, Phil was very accommodating in our wedding (my wife being half Jewish) in helping us set up the traditional glass stomping tradition and explaining its history/relevance and we also chose to bring soil from our families gardens to put the soil together for one small tree we would plant to signify bringing our family’s/bodies from dust of the earth together to develop life (tree growth). All this being said, Phil is In so many ways the perfect pastor to do your wedding. Any denomination will be a comfortable fit for his services and any traditions you may have, he’ll be happy to accommodate and further explain during the ceremony. Phil certainly has a way of making each person in the room feel like the most important person there when he’s speaking to you. He truly has a gift and God’s guidance when he is in element.
I would like to share a review of our experience with Pastor Phillip Rogers.
We met with Pastor Phil to discuss our wedding. We are an older couple and this was a second marriage for both of us after very long term first marriages. We shared our thoughts and concerns with Pastor Phil. He listened carefully as we shared our hearts with him. He directed us towards our wedding day with God’s heart for us. We have so much respect for the manner in which he lead us to follow God’s will in the days leading up to our wedding. It was a privilege to have Pastor Phil offciate our Wedding!
Pastor Phil kept us informed of all steps leading up to the wedding. He was willing to work with us to preform a very private waterfront wedding at a private home. He brought sincerity, humor and most importantly the love of God with him as he joined us together as one, on our beautiful wedding day last September.
I would highly recommend Pastor Phillip Rogers for any couple considering him as a wonderful Officiant.
Pastor Rogers was amazing! He was recommended by my venue and has a ton of experience officiating. My husband and I met him more than a year before the wedding and felt that he had such great charisma, humor, and groundedness. We booked Pastor Rogers that same day to be our wedding officiant and are very happy we did. It was easy to communicate with Pastor Rogers in the months before about what kind of ceremony we would like, and he was flexible when I wanted to add a few readings last minute as well. He gave a very moving sermon and many of the guests were in tears. He also helped us send off our signed marriage license to the county, and has kept in touch since the wedding. Thank you Pastor Rogers for marrying us and for making our wedding ceremony a wonderful experience!
Pastor Phillip did a great job at our wedding. He was extremely professional and delivered a message during the ceremony that really encompassed everything we felt was important in making this very holy commitment to each other. He showed up very early to the ceremony to walk through every detail and things went as smoothly as we could have hoped. Highly recommended. Thank you Pastor Phillip!!!
Pastor Phil was awesome! Everybody complimented the ceremony at the reception. His words were honest, personal, and meaningful! We can't thank him enough!
Pastor Phillip Rogers did an absolute amazing job on our wedding. He was beyond wonderful to work with, answered any questions that came up, and very quick to respond. We met with him to book for our very special day and he made us feel super comfortable and relaxed. When he did our ceremony we felt as if he had known us our whole lives, even our guests said the same thing! (we had only met once and chatted a few times) Very personable!! He truly does a phenomenal job. I couldn’t reccomend him enough. We were truly blessed to find such a great pastor for our wedding day! Thank you!!
Pastor Phil was such a blessing to our wedding day. He walked us through everything and listened to every suggestion we added. He kept the perfect balance of light-hearted and seriousness for the ceremony. We truly appreciated the support him and his wife provided throughout the wedding weekend. Highly recommend!
From the moment we met Pastor Phil, we both new that he going to marry us. If you are looking for someone that will provide guidance, be your friend, and make sure every detail of your wedding ceremony is the way you want it, then Pastor Phil is a great choice! We were always excited to visit with him, and he was always open to talk to us about anything - from wedding concerns and schedule, to how the MSU basketball team is doing this year! If you love MSU, you will love Pastor Phil! We had some issues with our church coordinator, and he did a superb job of maintaining his professionalism and being calm, while also making sure our interests and requests were honored, he was 100% on our side throughout the entire process. His words at our wedding really resonated with our friends and family, they were meaningful and relatable without being overly religious or traditional. We were honored to have him as a permanent part of our history and love that we will always have his name on our marriage license!
My husband and I got married at the Detroit Yacht Club. We wanted a meaningful ceremony, but are not very religious. Phil was perfect for us! He asked us exactly what we wanted and really personalized the ceremony for us. I was so impressed given that our wedding day was the first time we met him! (We live in California and were not able to meet up prior to the big day). He even included a nice message about my grandparents who were married at the same venue almost 55 years ago! Phil is very well spoken and is very passionate about what he does. By the end of the evening he felt like one of the family! We also received so many compliments from our guests regarding Phil and how beautiful the ceremony was. If you are getting married in the Metro Detroit area and are looking for an officiant to deliver a personalized, meaningful, and beautiful ceremony: Stop looking! I am so grateful that Phil was a part of our big day!
Hello I would like to say Phil was GREAT at our wedding and I would recommend him to anybody.He was fun and included a lot about god in his service which was important to us, and he even had a couple of jokes in there as well which everybody enjoyed.I was told by several people that attended that he did better than any other pastor then they had ever seen at at wedding before which says a lot on how good he did.So thanks again Phil for making our special day that much more memorable.
