Stephanie was our officiant from Love & Wisdom and she was AMAZING!! We had a meeting and went over our love story and she created two totally customized ceremonies for us to choose from! She even took the curveball we threw at her - we wanted to take a shot at the end of our ceremony (that's how we met) and she made it one of our favorite parts of the whole day! Definitely recommend if you are looking for a personalized ceremony.

We could not be happier with the services that Love and Wisdom provided us. Our officiant, Kim Bentley, helped us plan a ceremony that was full of love, respect, and had both traditional and non-traditional elements in it (blessing of the hands, tree planting, vows). We feel it properly commemorated our love, who my husband and I are as individuals, and who we are as a couple.

Philip was an amazing officiant—heartfelt, personal, and praised by all our guests!

Love & Wisdom created a beautiful experience for our wedding ceremony. Our officiant, Philip Lingle, got to know us personally and tailored the ceremony based on these interactions. We found these processes deeply meaningful and knew that L&W understood us and what we wanted for our wedding. Even after the wedding, Philip has helped us greatly by submitting our marriage application for us, providing resources for changing surnames, among other helpful favors.

The entire L&W team, did an excellent job of creating a beautiful wedding ceremony. Philip personally supported us from beginning to end and was always available for discussion or last-minute changes. We greatly appreciate what Philip and L&W did for our wedding.

Working with Love & Wisdom was one of the best choices I made in my wedding planning process. Our officiant, Philip Lingle, is absolutely brilliant. He asked all the right questions to get to know us, and when I read the ceremony he wrote for us, I knew he truly understood our vision. When our wedding day arrived, his presentation of the ceremony couldn't have been more perfect. I received countless compliments from guests, both on the contents of the ceremony and on Philip's skill as an officiant. I am extremely grateful to Love & Wisdom and to Philip for the significant role they played in making my wedding day even more beautiful and meaningful than I dreamed it would be.

Philip and his team were always highly responsive. They were the perfect firm to handle the role of Officiant for our wedding at the Biltmore Estate. Philip always maintained a relaxed, professional disposition and exhibited empathy and a great sense of humor.
He was very prompt at our ceremony and our guests greatly appreciated his sincerity and warm delivery.
We cannot recommend them enough- no reason to look elsewhere if you are seeking a phenomenal officiant in NC.

Philip did an amazing job as our officiant! He was very personable, great to work with, and did a wonderful job of making our ceremony beautiful and personal. We’ve received lots of compliments on the ceremony! I would highly recommend Philip and Love & Wisdom!

Wow—Philip Lingle and the Love & Wisdom team are truly unmatched. Initially, we were hesitant about using an officiant we didn’t know personally, but that hesitation quickly turned into immense gratitude. Love & Wisdom is, without a doubt, the best officiant service out there—professional, kind, thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly considerate from start to finish.

When we first reached out to Philip, he offered to meet us for a drink so we could get to know each other. Since we live out of town, scheduling was a bit tricky on our end, but Philip was incredibly flexible. Despite dealing with a family emergency that day, he still made it work, which speaks volumes about his dedication.

By the time the rehearsal and wedding day arrived, we couldn’t have been prouder of our decision to hire him. Our friends and family kept raving about how structured, professional, and engaging he was. The ceremony itself felt like something out of a movie—we’re still in awe! Philip’s delivery was impeccable, striking the perfect balance between sentimental and lighthearted, exactly as we had envisioned. He customized every aspect of the ceremony to reflect our story, and even though we hadn’t met him before, he made it feel like he had known us forever.

We cannot recommend Philip Lingle and the Love & Wisdom team enough. If you want an officiant who will bring your wedding ceremony dreams to life, look no further. This review comes straight from the heart, and we hope it convinces future couples to book—worth every single penny and you will not regret it. We are beyond grateful!

We had the best experience with Love & Wisdom! Rodney officiated our ceremony and created an unforgettable day for us. Everyone was responsive, attentive, punctual, and just overall amazing. Highly recommend.

Jennifer from love & wisdom was an absolute pleasure to work with. The entire process from start to finish was so simple and easy. Her professionalism, gentle voice, well spoken ceremony was absolutely incredible - we received SO many compliments on where we found her! The ceremony was perfectly written and she worked with us to perfect it, but honestly we didn't need to change much from the first draft because she did an amazing job! Would recommend going with this company for all your ceremony needs on your upcoming wedding - after all, it's a huge part and you want it done!
