Gwen was our FAVORITE vendor and made our ceremony unforgettable

Gwen is absolutely AMAZING!!!! We couldn't have asked for a better officiant! From our initial phone call with her she was helpful and led us through planning the ceremony, which made planning stress free and easy. We had multiple guests rant and rave about how beautiful our ceremony was and also about how much they enjoyed our officiant! Some guests even said Gwen was the best officiant they've ever seen! Gwen, we had all the confidence in you from our first phone call and you made our ceremony truly unforgettable! Thank you so much!

Gwen is Amazing

Gwen has been so easy to work with. She’s extremely knowledgeable and handles everything very professionally. Our venue coordinator didn’t show it, and Gwen ran our entire rehearsal with no problem. Without her, we wouldn’t have had our rehearsal in time before the wedding. She. Is. Amazing. Thank you Gwen

Awesome Company

Gwen was very professional. From start to finish, she was in contact with me, answered my questions, and after the ceremony, she was a wealth of support. She was a genuine officiant and provided heartfelt guidance that was insightful. The studio was beautiful and appropriate for our wedding.

Over the past 20 years we've had the pleasure of seeing Philip Waring at several events. The Warings are very attentive and kind. We would not hesitate to recommend them.

I love working with Phil and always love seeing the passion and love he has for what he does. He is such a kind hearted person and knows how his work can really affect a wedding ceremony. He is the only officiant I will ever refer.

Phil and Gwen are consummate professionals who perform flawless ceremonies, but it goes way beyond that. Arizona Ministries embraces the bond of marriage and gives it the respect and attention to detail and treats each ceremony like it was family.
