You Get What You Pay For
You get what you pay for. Rev. Phil far exceeded our expectations. Our family and friends were in awe of the experience.
Rev. Phil planned a few special items to include in the service, for that he needed us to give him a few interesting details of our lives up to that point. At first we thought our story was boring and nothing our family would want to hear. But by the end of the service all of our second cousins, parents friends from high school, and wedding crashers who came to the wedding to flirt with bridesmaids and have free drinks, felt like they have known us forever and understood why I had to make her my wife.
Amongst all of our vendors, our experience with Rev Phil was far above the rest.
