About

QUESTION: Why are more than 600 couples STILL SMILING? I have officiated over 600 weddings in the last 30 years and feature a nondenominational emphasis with a highly personal touch. I believe that every bride and groom deserve a WOW factor concerning their officiant. If you are looking for someone who will IMPACT the hearts of those attending and INSPIRE the bride and groom...look no further. I will bring energy, emotion, and expertise to help make your wedding one of the BEST days of your life! I live near Lansing, Michigan but have done weddings all across Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and beyond. Even in San Francisco.

Experience

I was raised in a pastor’s home and have been around wedding ceremonies all of my life. I am an MSU grad (Go Green) and later graduated with a master's degree in theology from Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. I have been an ordained minister since 1982. I have also been the pastor of four different churches over 20 years and have delivered contemporary sermons on many subjects, including marriages and weddings, that can be applied to everyday life.I am blessed to have a beautiful wife, Michelle, and two extraordinary children, Josiah and Lydia.

Services Offered

I specialize in flexibility and offer religious,non-religious, traditional and non-traditional ceremonies that generally run between 25 and 30 minutes long. I love adventure and have even done a STAR WARS wedding and a baseball themed wedding at the Lansing Lugnuts stadium....where I dressed as an UMP!!

Simply the BEST

Pastor Phil really delivered on our wedding day. I felt so comfortable after our phone meeting and then we really didn’t chat much leading up to the day of but he showed up on time and not only delivered, I have had so many people compliment our ceremony that it was one of the best they have been to, meaningful, funny and the perfect length. Thank you so much Pastor Phil!

Absolutely Perfect!

We could not have asked for a better experience! Pastor Phillip went out of his way to get to know us so he could make our ceremony personal. Our family and friends were all blown away at how perfect each part of the ceremony was. I would recommend Pastor Phillip to anyone who is getting married!

We trusted him right away!

Pastor Philip went above and beyond for us on our wedding day and in the planning prior to the day. Coming from out of state to be married in Lansing, we didn't have a church or a local pastor to work with for our wedding day. When we met with Philip we knew that he would be the perfect officiant for our ceremony. I just have to say that he was the most talked about by our guests after the ceremony. To take a quote from my husband's great Aunt Jackie " His words gave me goosebumps! With a powerful message like his, that's a man after my own heart". We can't thank you enough Pastor Philip. God bless you and your family!

Rev. Phil Rogers is an amazing wedding officiant! He actually was the officiant of my own wedding over 8 years ago, and I now have the opportunity to work with him while I photograph my client's weddings. Pretty much every time he makes me cry!
