How I Got Started
Phillip believes that anniversaries and vow renewals are just as important as the first ceremony, and he ensures that the milestones in your journey of marriage are just as memorable as the first day you said “I do”.
Baby dedications and baptisms are just as special as weddings. Phillip will work with the adult, parents and godparents to make it a special day for everyone involved. If you are an adult seeking a baptism Phillip will work with you as well. If you have a special place like a river, lake, stream or pond that you would like for your baptism to be in let Phillip know your wishes. Pricing on this and more information will be discussed as you make your reservation.
Funerals are a celebration of life. They are not only a time of sorrow, but also a time for remembering your loved one. This is something no one plans for and is very hard to do. At this time of need, Phillip will help you celebrate the life of your loved one. Pricing on this will be discussed at the time of need.
If you want something meaningful and different in your ceremony, Phillip is the minister for your special day.
Different faiths that Phillip has officiated ceremonies for includes couples that identify as Christian/Jewish, Christian/Muslim, Christian/Buddhist and Christian/Atheist. He works out of balance to make sure that everyone is happy in a respectful manner, and encourages that your ceremony has traditions from both beliefs.

Phillip works with couples of all faiths; civil unions are a part of his services, as well.

He has performed ceremonies that omit any religious touches or mention of deities in the vows; therefore if that is the type of ceremony you prefer, Phillip can do it for you.
