Amazing Company & Officiant!

Our wedding ceremony was nothing short of magical, thanks in large part to the thoughtful and guidance of Love & Widsom. Love & Wisdom also demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, ensuring that every aspect of the ceremony ran smoothly and according to plan. From coordinating with our officiant to guiding us through the marriage license process, they went above and beyond to alleviate any stress or uncertainty we may have had.
Our officiant, Dmitry was amazing! From our initial meeting to the moment we said "I do," Dmitry demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and a genuine passion for crafting a ceremony that reflected our love story.Throughout the planning process, he took the time to get to know us as a couple, listening attentively to our story, values, and aspirations for our future together. His thoughtful questions and insightful suggestions helped us shape a ceremony that was deeply meaningful and uniquely ours. On the day of the wedding his words were heartfelt and sincere, capturing the essence of our relationship and the commitment we were making to each other. His calming presence and genuine enthusiasm for our union made the entire experience truly unforgettable.
We are endlessly grateful for his guidance and support, and we wholeheartedly recommend Love & Wisdom to anyone in search of an officiant who will make their special day truly memorable.

Philip was the best for our day!

We loved having Philip Lingle for our officiant on our wedding day! He knew exactly how to tailor the ceremony to just what we wanted. It felt like we knew him for many years. He was professional, kindhearted, and knowledgeable as our officiant. He also followed up to let us know the marriage license was filed the next day and to wish us well! He was an amazing choice for our special day and I am so glad we had him by our side! :)
