Officiant to Go!

Scheduling
Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Would you like to get married at Santa Barbara's Leadbetter Beach or at the end of the Ventura Pier? How about atop the Franklin Trail in Carpinteria or Shelf Road in Ojai?
I am an experienced public speaker and wedding officiant. I've officiated church weddings with hundreds of guests and small private ceremonies under a banyan tree. I am often available on short notice and happy to travel to most locations in the Ventura and Santa Barbara area to make your day special and memorable.
I complete all legal paperwork and return it to you the day of the ceremony.
Fee will be competitive, but vary slightly, depending on location and travel time to site as well as estimated ceremony length.

Phillip was GREAT! We hired him pretty last-minute (a few weeks before our wedding since we completely procrastinated on finding an officiant) and he was very sweet and patient and was all about what we wanted to do. He gave us assistance and many examples but did not push his ideas on us and let us completely make everything our own, since he knew we wanted to write our own script and our own vows. We ended up writing our own script almost entirely from scratch, as well as our vows, and used a couple of his ideas for the ring exchange. We did not even give him our final script until maybe two or three days before the wedding and he completely went with it! And he was able to do deliver excellence with no rehearsal, no meetings (besides an initial skype meeting), it was all very easy and convenient for us. He rolled with the punches and our ceremony was flawless and emotional and beautiful and we were so happy with how well everything went. I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you for helping make our ceremony awesome, Phillip! :)

Thank you Sarah + Santiago! I was closer to crying at your ceremony than any other I've completed. I'm utterly delighted you were happy and I wish the best for both of you.

We hired Phillip to officiate our wedding a mere month before our wedding date. He was very flexible in working with us since we were from out of town. He met our needs and delivered a short and sweet ceremony just as we wanted! Thank you again Phillip!

I had a short notice marriage in an unusual location with special accommodations and Philip Rockwell was the perfect officiant for the job. He was very helpful and made me feel comfortable. Philip did not charge a huge fee which was very nice and he responded quickly in a friendly manner. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone especially for those looking for a simple and inexpensive wedding.
