  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 (free), 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 560+ 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.

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

Rev. Phil works with couples who are NON-RELIGIOUS, single faith and interfaith. Although a real minister, he wants your ceremony to reflect you, not him. The complete script in advance (very rare) will prove it's just the way YOU want it.

  • Baptist
  • Catholic

Rev. Phil delivered our vision! Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted!

Rev. Phil was worth every penny! He orchestrated an unforgettable, heartfelt, and engaging ceremony that felt so meaningful and genuine and set the tone for the evening. We wanted a light-hearted, semi-religious, not-so-traditional ceremony outside of the church that captured our unique bond and kept our guests engaged. Rev. Phil delivered our vision! He did all the heavy lifting in the planning process which made things so easy on us. Our script turned out perfect! The ceremony felt like it was truly ours. Rev. Phil knew the best way for us to honor our parents in a way they would love and appreciate, which they did! The "secret loves" part of the ceremony was fun and incredibly touching. Our guests were so impressed, many said it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. We laughed, we cried, and we felt so much love in the room. We are so grateful Rev. Phil officiated our ceremony. We will never forget it!

Wonderful Vow Renewal

My husband arranged a surprise vow renewal for our 15th wedding anniversary that we celebrated in Chicago recently. I had no idea that my husband had been planning this surprise with Rev. Phil for several months in advance of our trip! We went to Grant Park the early evening of our anniversary on our way to our dinner reservations nearby, and were met there by Rev. Phil for the surprise vow renewal. What a fantastic way to start the celebration weekend! Rev. Phil had corresponded with my husband thoroughly and promptly right up to the surprise event. He is personable and caring, and offers a lovely service!

Perfection!

We feel so lucky to have had Reverend Phil as our officiant—he truly made our outdoor ceremony not only beautiful and memorable, but deeply meaningful. He brought the perfect balance of a religious tone with warmth and sincerity, creating an atmosphere that felt so personal and reflective of us as a couple.

Every part of the ceremony was incredibly intentional. Reverend Phil involved us throughout the entire process, from approving the full script to holding a rehearsal on the grounds to ensure everything would go smoothly. He didn’t just officiate—he genuinely acted as a ceremony coordinator, stepping in when needed (including when the wind unexpectedly knocked over and broke our glass vases) and handling it all with calm and care.

Also, he's not an officiant that you have to ask to step out of the way for photos. He's already thought of that and will recommend dozens of other tips and tricks to make sure everything goes smoothly! We can't recommend Reverend Phil enough to any couple looking for a ceremony that’s heartfelt, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
