What is your wedding ceremony style?

  1. Short & Sweet by a Professional
  2. You Want More Options, You Get More Planning
  3. All the Bells & Whistles! Love Story & Face-to-Face Guidance

When you Zoom with Rev. Phil, he will help you figure your your style.

Like you, NETFLIX was searching for the best Chicago area officiant. They chose only one officiant to do multiple weddings on LOVE IS BLIND -- Rev. Phil Landers!

He is the FIRST Chicago wedding officiant inducted into The Knot Hall of Fame! He has 540+ reviews here on WeddingWire,-- way more than any other offiiciant. Try to find a bad one (really).

Research him -- watch love story videos and read reviews. What he does is so extra-ordinary.

NEXT STEP: meet on Zoom for an free unhurried consultation. If your style is #3, he will get the beginning of your love story and share it back to you -- something no other officiant does.

++++++++++++++

The Best Decision We Ever Made

Reverend Phil, 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!

Fun, heartwarming, and memorable!

Rev. Phil delivered an unforgettably touching, humorous, and unique ceremony that our guests raved about. When we first found Rev. Phil, we didn't have any specific vision for our ceremony - we assumed that since we were looking for a secular ceremony that it would be bare-boned. But after speaking to Rev. Phil (who was glad to perform a secular ceremony!) and watching the love story videos on his website, we clicked immediately and took the plunge. We did go beyond our original budget, but it was so worth it.

Amazing Wedding with Rev. Phil

Rev. Phil is extraordinary! He is a fantastic officiant and an amazing person! His wide flexibility, diligent organization, and crystal-clear communication helped so much in reducing the stress in planning our ceremony and most certainly was worth the cost. His delivery of our 5 secret loves about each other were exactly what we imagined, and he did an excellent job officiating such an amazing wedding for us. The guests loved his personality, bringing up several of his quotes later on that night and the following days. It is clear that he is someone who does this profession because he truly enjoys it, as he takes the time to get to know each couple and their unique story and uses it to create a personalized script based on their specific qualities. One thing that especially demonstrated how caring he is was that even after the ceremony, he took the time to sit with some of our guests and learn more about us from them. Without a doubt, he was the best vendor at our wedding, and we would recommend him to anyone looking to start their special day with an excellent, memorable ceremony.
