    Phil was the best!

    Phil was flexible for us both on our wedding date and prior. He has a useful library of material that made our ceremony agenda easy to decide on. He also spoke Spanish to our non English speaking guests.

    Rev Phil is SUPER AMAZING. He communicated effectively and promptly in helping us reach our goals; offered suggestions when needed; and met us at Central Park in NYC to help us in finding the perfect spot. He was perfect in many ways and I would certainly suggest reaching out to him!

    This was a wonderful experience and all because of Rev Phil. He was so easy to talk with and offered suggestions AND GOOD ONES when asked, including meeting us ahead of the ceremony to find the perfect spot! Highly recommend

    Highly recommend him!!

    Rev. Passantino was so wonderful to work with!! He officiated a very small wedding ceremony for us this past weekend and it was perfect. He provided us with a ton of different materials/readings to choose from as we planned the ceremony. He was extremely flexible in incorporating some material that we had sent him last minute and he was also flexible as it took us a bit to confirm the exact time of our ceremony. Lastly, we were able to arrange for him to play guitar before and after the ceremony which was a nice added touch for us. We are so happy that we chose him for our special day!

It was really important to my husband and I that we find someone who we clicked with and felt really comfortable with to perform our wedding ceremony, and Rev. Phil was wonderful! He was so warm and friendly and kind, and he put us right at ease. He make sure to get to know us and made our ceremony extra special and personalized, sharing our little stories and details about our relationship in the best, most lighthearted and touching way! All of our guests told us how wonderful our ceremony way. Rev. Phil brought such a bright, warm energy to our ceremony which was just what we were hoping for. We would recommend Rev. Phil to anyone and we are so happy to have worked with him!!!

    We loved phil

    Phil was an absolute pleasure to work with. It was very important to me that my Husband and I get to know the man marrying us and Phil was so warm and friendly. He made himself available to us for coffee meet-up's to zoom calls. Our Wedding was this past weekend and our guests are still talking about how amazing our Ceremony was. Phil worked with us to create the perfect ceremony and It couldn't have been better. It was funny, personal and heartwarming. I strongly recommend hiring Phil!!!

    Rev. Phil Passantino was amazing!

    Rev. Phil was absolutely amazing! People kept coming up to us to tell us how great the ceremony was! He really went over the whole process and really allowed us to customize the entire ceremony with him! He also asked personal questions (like how we met, etc.) this really allowed for our wedding to be personalized. I can’t even say how on point and easy to work with Rev. Phil was! I would recommend him for any wedding, he made our wedding a truly blessed day!

    Thanks Rev. Phil!

    Beautiful and Memorable! May 2021

    Phil was wonderful to work with! We wanted a ceremony that had a religious tone to it and he delivered beautifully! Phil also accommodated our request to have the ceremony bilingual so our parents can enjoy. He took his time to get to know us and it really came thru during the ceremony. My family and friends commented on how special it was. Thank you Phil for making our wedding day extra special, we loved it! Mariset & Octavio

    Rev Phil was wonderful! He gave such a beautiful ceremony there was not a dry eye in the room.
    The reading that he gave was just perfect and made us feel so special. Since our wedding was Jan 8, 2021 he was very accommodating and flexible. My family just loved him and we were blessed to have him with us.

    Amazing amazing amazing!

    Phil performed an extremely beautiful ceremony for my wife and I. He was very respectful of our wishes of what we wanted our ceremony to be like and spoke eloquently and from the heart. Phil was also able to incorporate personal anecdotes and stories into our ceremony and was professional, funny and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Honestly, look no further for an officiant to perform your ceremony!

    My Ceremony

    My marriage date was Sept. 15, 2020. The ceremony
    Phil gave was just beautiful. He made it feel so special.
    The reading of the words touched me. He is well spoken
    With a great personality. My ceremony was small at my
    house. My sisters also said it was beautiful. I’m happy
    I chose him he is wonderful.

    Amazing Reverend that works with you throughout the planning process!

    Reverend Phil is amazing! He was extremely professional and responsive throughout our planning process, and he presented a beautiful, thoughtful ceremony that all of our guests raved about. He provided us with a sense of peace and serenity during the chaos of planning a wedding during such a stressful time. We will definitely be recommending him to all of our family and friends, thanks Reverend Phil!

    Great Officiant & Great Person

    Phil gave us the best ceremony which everyone still talks about. He was such a professional coming on-time, prepared and incorporated so much personalization about the two of us. We had laughs and so much love throughout our ceremony. All the while Phil was a calming presence who kept the ceremony flowing with no awkward pauses or moments. Our family really enjoyed the stories about us he told and everyone was laughing at his jokes. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend him to anyone else. We even invited him to stay for the ceremony because we just felt so much like he was a friend of our family. Thanks again Phil!

    Thanks, Phil!!!

    We specifically chose Phil as our officiant because he could perform the ceremony in both English and Portuguese. We were able to edit the ceremony "script" to our liking and were very pleased with Phil's services. Additionally, we had him play acoustic guitar before the ceremony, for the walk, and lasty for the close of the ceremony. The guests really loved that part, as we received many compliments. Communication was very easy, and the whole process went smoothly. Thanks, Phil!!!!

    Thanks Rev. Phil!

    Due to my Fiancee's visa, we had 30 days to get married.

    Everything was last minute and we were in serious doubt that we could pull it off! Our pastor was unavailable on such short notice so we did not have an officiant. Thankfully, one of my friends highly recommended Rev. Phil. From the very start, Rev. Phil gave us great confidence that we had found the right wedding officiant.

    His ceremony templates are extensive and varied enough that is easy to choose the perfect flow and content. We chose a Christian based ceremony but he can basically accommodate any type. He is also very flexible. In our rush, we waited until the very last day to send him final revisions and he seamlessly worked them into the ceremony. His communication was also great...he always responded in a timely manner and provided whatever help was required.

    The wedding itself went off without a hitch thanks in large part to Rev Phil's great officiating. He even wove in personal touches about our relationship he obtained from his questionnaire!

    My wife and I hope to only get married once in our lives but if we renew our wedding vows I'll be sure to contact Rev Phil! We also will not hesitate to recommend him to our friends and family!

    Thank you Rev. Phil!

    Amazing ceremony!

    My husband and I were looking for an officiant/ reverend to officiate our wedding, someone who could give a nice ceremony without being boring. I have to say that reverend Passantino exceeded our expectations! What an amazing ceremony he did!!! Our families were absolutely delighted by Phil! He is super calm and that helped us A LOT! standing in front of 100+ people is not the easiest :).
    We definitely recommend him !

    The Perfect Officiant for our Wedding

    Wedding 10/19/18

    Rev. Phil was the officiant at our wedding on 10/19/18 and he did a great job! From start to finish the planning process was smooth and simple. Rev. Phil is really easy going and a total pro at what he does. We met once in person prior to the wedding and we corresponded several times leading up to our big day. He arrived early and prepared. I would definitely recommend using him as your officiant!

    Phil did an amazing job conducting our ceremony. We are still receiving compliments. He was easy to work with and tailored our ceremony to fit our needs. He threw in some jokes to keep the crowd alive and also had loving, serious moments to make everyone feel the love in the room. Thank you for making our day so special, Rev. Phil!!

    A Perfect Beginning

    Our wedding ceremony was perfect. Rev. Phil was such a blessing to us.
    He provides many options to make your ceremony special. There is a questionnaire that you can fill out to make it as personal as you want it to be. I recommend him highly.

    Phil was so easy to work with and did a great job putting together a ceremony that included multiple personal anecdotes and made our guests laugh. My guests are still saying what a beautiful ceremony it was. I'm happy we chose him and would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for an officiant.

    We found Reverend Phil through some recommendations and couldn’t be more pleased with our choice. He met with us to find out all the details of our relationship in order to truly get to know us before the big day. We were able to customize our ceremony to fit our needs. He gave us many options in order to do so. He delivered the ceremony with such grace and professionalism, everything turned out wonderful. I highly recommend Reverend Phil’s services to all future couples!

    My fiance and I can't say enough about Reverend Phil. Not only was he so thoughtful and considerate about our ceremony's program, but also gave us ideas to help us along. We also hired him as our ceremony musician and our guests were raving about him. He played music as the guests walked in and waited for the ceremony to begin - a variety of love songs. He also played the recessional music and processional music. He was AWESOME. He also performed our ceremony in English and Spanish. A man of many talents. Thank you, Reverend!

    Phil was phenomenal! He performed a truly heartwarming ceremony for us, delivering exactly the moving but joyful tone we wanted and getting the balance on the spiritual content of the ceremony perfect. And in two languages! Our guests had tons of compliments for the ceremony, noting how well he captured our personalities and how celebratory our ceremony was. Phil also performed on his accordion for the ceremony which made the whole thing feel like a fairy tale. We're thrilled to have had Phil at our ceremony, can't recommend him enough, and hope to keep in touch!

    Phil did a great job at our service. We had a small ceremony but Phil managed to make it very special and personal for us.
    He did a great job in doing the service in english and spanish what we asked for and couldn't have picked a better officiant.

    Phil was great to work with and he did a great job officiating! He was responsive with being able to meet with us, emails, and reassuring me with any wedding day worries I had. There was one particular moment during the ceremony where we had our 10 year old niece do a reading and when she was done Phil had said "Nothing is more special than being blessed by a child." He had everyone in tears! We will remember that particular moment forever. Thank you for everything!!

    I highly recommend Reverend Phil! He did such a wonderful job with our wedding. It was a truly special ceremony and one of the greatest moments of my life. Reverend Phil was professional and thorough but never pushy. His calm attitude surrounding the whole ceremony part of the wedding was wonderful. My husband and I both commented on this and how it helped us relax. The ceremony was the one part of the day that I wasn't worried about and wasn't stressed out at all about. I am SO thankful for that because that made me able to be more present in the moment and really enjoy every bit of the ceremony. Reverend Phil was the perfect fit for us on our wedding day.

    Rob and I want to thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. I love how you incorporated our answers to the questionnaire into the ceremony. It added such a personal touch that our guests all commented on. Everyone loved how warm and meaningful your words were, and the guitar music you played by Bright Eyes & Elliot Smith turned out perfectly. It was fun, and again, so personal to us. Thanks again!

Rev. Phil was an amazing officiant! I just want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for such a beautiful, heart felt ceremony!! I can't tell you how much it meant to us. I also can't tell you how many people came up to me to tell me how it was the "best ceremony" that they have EVER been to and just how absolutely wonderful he was. It really was a countless amount of people who said that to me! I definitely recommend him for creating such a beautiful ceremony that we will always remember. He allowed us to personalize the ceremony in a way that was so touching and so "us". It was perfect! Thank you again!

    Rev. Phil is exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I were both married in a Catholic church before for our first marriages. Even though we both had grounds for annulments we didn't want to spend the money or go through the process being we wanted to get married in the gardens at our venue. Rev. Phil was completely understanding and helpful. Not only did he listen to our needs and wants but he also recommended a book about 2nd marriages we read. He gave us his time and energy and was open to all of our ideas. For example- blessing rings for our children (my husband has a son and I have a son and 2 daughters), Unity Cross, gem vase where our guests each had a glass gem and placed it in a vase before taking their seats, giving us their blessing (we incorporated this into the ceremony). He included elements of a Catholic based ceremony such as readings and the Our Father per our request. His words were heartwarming and personal. Everyone still compliments us on our ceremony and the kind, professional, friendly, and compassionate Rev. Phil.
    I searched the internet trying to find an officiant who could be accepted by both our church going parents and include the religious element in our "Country Elegance Ceremony". I knew right away when I hit on a video of a wedding he did that he was the one. After meeting with him my gut feeling was confirmed. It turns out he was from the same circle my husband grew up in. My husband and I had many circumstances that brought us together yet we did not meet until later in life. Rev. Phil was just another one of those "this is meant to be". We highly recommend him to be your officiant if you want sincerity, class, professionalism, and love to be part of your day.
    P.S. He is very affordable and worth every penny.

    We just wanted to to send you a short note thanking you for making our marriage ceremony so beautiful and meaningful. It was much more touching than we could imagine it turning out. Several of our guests remarked to us that they found the ceremony to be very moving, and of course you were a big part of that. A big thank you from Joe and Anne

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Reverend Phil Passantino. What an amazing wedding ceremony!!! So many people came up to me after the ceremony saying how unique and beautiful it was, unlike anything they have seen before! They loved all of the cultural elements and felt engaged. Not only did Rev. Phil come up with beautiful vows and create a loving environment, he is multitalented. He played acoustic guitar and an African harp called the Mbira throughout the ceremony. He learned specific songs that I requested for my bridal party to enter too. We incorporated Eastern European and West African wedding traditions and cultural touches. Reverend Phil was encouraging and excited about this. He has a beautiful heart and is truly gifted. He captured our story and delivered perfectly, he truly understood us. He created a peaceful and fun environment for us and our guests. If you are looking for a non-traditional, beautiful cultural wedding ceremony with live music at an affordable rate Reverend Phil is the best!!!

    Rev. Phil was the perfect officiant. He made sure everything went just as I wanted. He found me on the day of my wedding to get my marriage certificate done so that I did not have to worry about a thing. Afterward he made sure everything was sent off as required. I did not have to worry or stress about anything at all. He was very friendly and really listens. He will make sure your day is a perfect as can be.

    Finding an officiant was not one of my favorite tasks during the wedding planning process. I did not know what to look for in an officiant. I am Filipino and Catholic, and my husband is Chinese, but does not have a religious affiliation. I know that a blessing was important for me and my parents, and some Filipino traditions, such as the cord and veil ceremony. I found Rev. Phil here on WeddingWire, and he responded to my inquiry right away. After meeting with him and learning of how he customizes the ceremony, we knew we had to ask him to be our officiant. After the wedding day, our guests asked us how we found our officiant because they were impressed at how personal and beautiful our ceremony was. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to get married.

    Rev. Phil was great to work with and my husband and I are so glad we chose him to officiate our wedding! Phil is extremely personable and was always very responsive. We booked with him about a year before our wedding, so you can imagine I had a lot of questions come up in the mean time :) all of our guests complimented his delivery of the ceremony and it was great to have him be part of our special day!

    My husband is from Spain so we wanted to do our ceremony in Spanish and English and luckily we found Phil who is bilingual! Our guests loved that we incorporated both languages into our ceremony. He also gave us examples of different ceremonies as well as typical Spanish wedding traditions. We ended up mixing in some of the Spanish traditions making our ceremony really unique! Overall I would definitely use Phil again and recommend him to all of my friends!

    Rev. Phil was our officiant and provided the music. Our ceremony and the music was beautiful and everyone commented on how much they loved it. Even a random hotel guest stopped me and asked about the music after the ceremony! We could not be happier and are so glad that we found him! Thank you again!

    Reverend Phil was AMAZING! I went with him because he had great reviews and you could even tell by his pictures that he is a genuinely nice person. He basically saved my wedding, he was able to marry us on a few days notice and was very patient with me (I ran quite late) and performed a beautiful ceremony. I always recommend him when I can. Our family and friends loved him as well, in our pictures even as he is reading, he has the kindest smile. Very professional as well, I highly recommend!

    Our venue, Perona Farms recommend Rev. Phil since he has preformed many ceremonies on site. We are not a very spiritual couple so Rev. Phil wrote up a beautiful ceremony that was very family orientated (since my stepchildren were involved). There were tears and laughs during the ceremony and I had so many compliments on how beautifully Rev. Phil did. I would HIGHLY recommend Rev. Phil Passantino!

    I can not say enough positive things about Rev. Phil. My wife and I immediately felt at ease with him. He gave us great creative control, but also gave us terrific suggestions as to what to include in our wedding. Bottom line is he was amazing! He gave us a great ceremony that was commented on by numerous guests. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND REV. PHIL if you want a wedding ceremony to remember!

    One of the most nervous thing in planning my (our) wedding was going to be finding someone out of state to perform the ceremony. Someone who was nice,trustworthy, had great communications (via phone & E-mail) & within budget; All this & to perform the ceremony at an unusual/non-traditional location,too. Rev. Phil was most definitely the perfect fit, and I'm so glad as to how well everything turned out. Without him, everything would not have turned out the way it did. Especially with his guitar playing skills! Without it there would have been no music for me to walk down the aisle! Also, he's so much of a fun/wonderful person that we welcomed him to the reception, too!!
    It was a "Knight" to remember, that's for sure!!

    Rev. Phil is absolutely amazing. We received so many compliments from our guests, everybody loved his charm and great sense of humor. He was very flexible and had great sugestions even at the very short notice and was willing to say few words in slovak language.
    He did a great job and it was a pleasure to work with him.
    Thank you so much Rev. Phil :-)

    Rev. Phil was a pleasure to work with. From our first meeting he made my husband and I feel at ease and more like we were meeting with a friend!
    He let us know all about his background and we let him know what exactly we wanted in a service. Rev. Phil delivered exactly what we had asked for, he was funny, serious and everyone commented on how great the service was.
    I am so lucky to have had Rev Phil officiate my wedding and my only regret is now that the wedding is over we wont be in touch as much!! Until the christening :)

    I would WITHOUT A DOUBT tell all my friends to use him for their wedding ceremony!!

    Phil made sure we were included in choosing the readings and vows for our wedding ceremony on 9/12/10. He added some personal touches and humor to our ceremony too, which we loved. He also always responded to emails along the way, which was very helpful! We would definitely recommend him to other couples!

    Rev. Phil held an outstanding service that we're still getting compliments from. It was particularly special because he helped us create a service that fit who we are and what we wanted to express in a marriage ceremony. He did a wonderful job and we were so pleased to work with him throughout every step of the way. Thank you so much, Rev. Phil!!

    Reverend Phil was amazing! He was one of the very first officiants to reply to my Wedding Wire inquiry and from our very first conversation, I knew he was the one. He had a kind voice and an easy-going demeanor about him which was just the vibe I was looking for our sand & sea inspired nuptials on the pier beside the Hudson River in Edgewater, NJ. After a relaxed breakfast meeting--on Mother's Day!--with my fiancee and I, he was able to construct a perfectly balanced spiritual ceremony which elegantly reflected the spirit of love, respect, humor & friendship that my husband and I have shared throughout our union. He was timely, professional, and very courteous to all of our guests as they waited excitedly for the bride to make her grand debut. We simply couldn't have asked for nicer human being or more perfect officiant to help make our dream wedding a reality! Thanks so very much!!

    Rev Phil has a fabulous personality! Neither my husband or I had a family clergyman so we were on the hunt for a personable clergy who would help guide us to create a meaningful, lovely ceremony. Rev Phil gives you a selection of content for each part of your ceremony so it doesn't feel cookie cutter or like you are in a factory but makes it easy for you to find something that works for you. He weaved our selections expertly into a beautiful ceremony that meant so much to the both of us. I recommend Rev Phil highly.

    We absolutely loved Revered Phil and wouldn't have chosen anyone else to perform our wedding ceremony. We met with a bunch of people and were starting to feel hopeless until we met with Rev. Phil. We knew right away that he was the right person for the job! His prices were a little higher than the other officiants we had met with but it was all well worth it as he was great! He was available by email or phone as often as we needed leading up to the wedding. He was able to do a Skype rehearsal for us since we were getting married off-site and he was extremely flexible with the time as I ran into some issues that day and was running late. His laid-back and calming personality was exactly what I needed as it kept me calm and worry-free as well. The day of he was a great help in keeping order and once again keeping everyone calm as we ran into a few snags. He performed a beautiful customized ceremony and we really felt like he knew us by the time our big day came. Rev. Phil comes highly recommended and if you choose him you will definitely be in good hands!

    Just wanted to let you know what a beautiful job Rev. Passantino did. We had such a great time. He is so easy to talk to and made every part of our wedding great. Even our photographer said she cried at the ceremony. They were very beautiful and loving words. Rev. Phil is a must have for any event!!

    Phil Passantino is wonderful! He was our officiant for our non-denominiational ceremony and he was exactly what we wanted. He was light and funny but also serious when necessary. He met with us several times before our ceremony to discuss all the details and put us at ease. We got many compliments from friends and family and couldn't have been happier with his performance.
