Wedding Officiant Phil Gallagher

Phil Gallagher was such an amazing person to work with! His efforts and expert guidance with being an officiant helped us throughout the process of planning, creating, and performing our wedding ceremony. He made our wedding so personalized and special.

Phil knew just what to say and what to do to guide us through the process of creating a customized wedding ceremony and helped us navigate tradition, while crafting a ceremony specific to us as a couple. He is very professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. He was a complete joy to work with!

We enjoyed our wedding ceremony so much with his customized approach and heard many compliments from our guests. Phil was willing to work with us via many emails and a couple of phone calls, as well as perform our ceremony outside for a spring wedding, being flexible on an outdoor ceremony.

He was very thoughtful of thinking through all the scenarios related to traveling in winter conditions and was early to both the wedding rehearsal and our actual wedding day. He was very personable and easy to get along with. We were so fortunate to have found him and he goes above and beyond!

Being the experienced officiant that Phil is, we were confident of his skills and ability to entertain and win over our wedding guests. He helped make sure everything during the ceremony went smoothly. He helped coordinate with our vendors providing the audio for our wedding and made sure to step out of the photo for our first kiss photos. His attention to detail and care really show through.

We can’t recommend him more highly and you will love working with him too! Thanks again Phil, you helped make our wedding day very meaningful, memorable, and great!

Phil was the most AMAZING officiant I could have possibly hoped for. He made the entire ceremony so, so, so spectacular. From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative and easy to work with. He sent me three separate drafts right away which I sort of combined and we finalized/edited together at the end to create the most perfect speech. And when the day came, it couldn't have gone more perfectly. We had our ceremony outside in Breckenridge, CO, in FEBRUARY in the middle of a snowstorm (trust me, while we were cold, it made for some of the most amazing pictures). Phil was so incredible and he came prepared with a laminated speech so that the printed speech wouldn't be affected by the weather, and he carried a huge smile and wore a coat, fully ready to brave the weather with us! He looked at me and said "if you get too cold, you just turn to me and give me a nod, and we'll skip anything except the most necessary parts. Or if you want a break, or to grab a shawl or a jacket or a blanket, you just give me the nod. I won't take it from anyone except you." Luckily, I was able to make it through that entire ceremony outside in my strapless dress in a snowstorm (like a crazy person because I live in Miami right now), and Phil was fully there for it! He kept us smiling and laughing the ENTIRE time! The whole day was so incredibly perfect and Phil was a massive part of that. My family members all said it was the most incredible officiant speech they have ever heard in their entire lives (and they are not those family members who just say that to be nice, they are honest all the way. If they said that, it's because they meant it.) Could not recommend Phil more highly. We are all still talking about how awesome he was and how he was such an important part of making our day as perfect as it was! Phil, thank you so, so much for everything you did to make our day so special!

Phil is so awesome! He has a great personality and created a very positive environment during our ceremony. His speech was so wholesome and he put his heart into it. We loved Phil and recommend him for anyone’s wedding or elopement!! He made the process easy and worry free and was great with communication!
