About

QUESTION: Why are more than 600 couples STILL SMILING? I have officiated over 600 weddings in the last 30 years and feature a nondenominational emphasis with a highly personal touch. I believe that every bride and groom deserve a WOW factor concerning their officiant. If you are looking for someone who will IMPACT the hearts of those attending and INSPIRE the bride and groom...look no further. I will bring energy, emotion, and expertise to help make your wedding one of the BEST days of your life! I live near Lansing, Michigan but have done weddings all across Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and beyond. Even in San Francisco.

Experience

I was raised in a pastor’s home and have been around wedding ceremonies all of my life. I am an MSU grad (Go Green) and later graduated with a master's degree in theology from Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. I have been an ordained minister since 1982. I have also been the pastor of four different churches over 20 years and have delivered contemporary sermons on many subjects, including marriages and weddings, that can be applied to everyday life.I am blessed to have a beautiful wife, Michelle, and two extraordinary children, Josiah and Lydia.

Services Offered

I specialize in flexibility and offer religious,non-religious, traditional and non-traditional ceremonies that generally run between 25 and 30 minutes long. I love adventure and have even done a STAR WARS wedding and a baseball themed wedding at the Lansing Lugnuts stadium....where I dressed as an UMP!!

Simply the BEST

Pastor Phil really delivered on our wedding day. I felt so comfortable after our phone meeting and then we really didn’t chat much leading up to the day of but he showed up on time and not only delivered, I have had so many people compliment our ceremony that it was one of the best they have been to, meaningful, funny and the perfect length. Thank you so much Pastor Phil!

Wedding Wonder

My husband and I were lucky enough to meet Pastor Phillip Rogers through my husband's boss (he lives down the road from where my husband works). He also attends the same church, so we had a feeling from the start that this was the right match. Phillip was wonderful to work with, reviewing the details of our ceremony with us and talking us through what God intended a marriage to be. He is very down to Earth, and that was shown through his message to us on our wedding day. God will forever be at the center of our marriage. We received many compliments from our guests about how amazing the ceremony was, and it's all thanks to Pastor Phillip!! I would recommend him to anyone!

Absolutely Perfect!

We could not have asked for a better experience! Pastor Phillip went out of his way to get to know us so he could make our ceremony personal. Our family and friends were all blown away at how perfect each part of the ceremony was. I would recommend Pastor Phillip to anyone who is getting married!

We trusted him right away!

Pastor Philip went above and beyond for us on our wedding day and in the planning prior to the day. Coming from out of state to be married in Lansing, we didn't have a church or a local pastor to work with for our wedding day. When we met with Philip we knew that he would be the perfect officiant for our ceremony. I just have to say that he was the most talked about by our guests after the ceremony. To take a quote from my husband's great Aunt Jackie " His words gave me goosebumps! With a powerful message like his, that's a man after my own heart". We can't thank you enough Pastor Philip. God bless you and your family!

Amazing ceremony!

My husband and I hired Pastor Phillip to perform our wedding ceremony! After weeding through many options, I knew from the second I had a phone interview with him that he would be the one to make things official for us! We met with him a few weeks before the ceremony to discuss the timeline, options and verbiage. He offered a lot of insight to our ceremony, and while I was debating writing my own vows, after hearing his version, we were blown away! He arrived to the venue early and dressed the part and checked on both my husband and myself, then blew us away! Our guests raved about the wonderful job he did and how our ceremony was absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend Pastor Phillip Rogers to any bride and groom looking for an officiant for your special day! He was extremely professional, got to know us to be able to add a personal touch, he was well dressed and very well spoken! Thank you, Pastor Phillip! We will cherish our day always!

A touching service

Pastor Phil is wonderful. His service is very sweet and personal. He puts you at ease by speaking directly to you during the ceremony. You almost forget you are standing up in front of a crowd. We had lots of guests tell us his message resonnated with them.

Four Thumbs Up!

Reverend Phil did an amazing job on our ceremony. Everyone complimented his words and the fact that our ceremony was short and sweet and engaging. He spoke as if he knew us for years and provided great advice and insight on what a marriage should look and sound like. Reverend Phil is super responsive, personable and easy to work with. Prior to the wedding he reached out to confirm details and even came to visit with both myself and my husband right before the ceremony to check on us and run through again. We would highly recommend Reverend Phil for your ceremony! Thank you Pastor Phil!

Wedding 10/6/18

My husband and I used Rev. Phil to officiate our wedding recently. He was very responsive to all my emails. We decided to do a unity tree and he had no problem incorporating that into our ceremony. After our ceremony so many guests complimented us on how nice our ceremony was and what a great job he did. He made it very personable. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Married 10-13-2018

Phil was absolutely perfect. He did our service for our wedding and it was amazing. He was very personable, great with getting things situated for the service and was very professional. So many guests complimented his work. . He spoke at our wedding like we had known him personally for years, when we had only met him once to book him for our special day. (Our choice) He took his time with us and made us feel very comfortable, and relaxed on our wedding day. He stayed and talked with us and our family for a while and everyone else enjoyed his company also. I would highly recommend him! 10/10 from us!

Rev. Phil Rogers is an amazing wedding officiant! He actually was the officiant of my own wedding over 8 years ago, and I now have the opportunity to work with him while I photograph my client's weddings. Pretty much every time he makes me cry!
