Why do couples choose Love & Wisdom for their wedding officiant and custom-crafted ceremony?

Every year, hundreds of couples just like you, choose us because they want a genuine personal connection, and a seamlessly polished and stress-free experience.

Like every other product or service, there will be a cheaper option and a superior option. If you want a cookie-cutter ceremony, somebody out there will do that for you, and do it for a cheap price.

But if you want your guests to be impressed and delighted. And if you want to look back at your ceremony and say we invested in the most important words we’re ever going to hear and say. Then we’d be honored to make that vision a reality.

A message from our  founder,

Philip Lingle

Hello, and thank you for considering Love & Wisdom! I truly believe that your marriage ceremony can create the most magical part of your wedding day. And I can tell you from first-hand experience that the feeling you get after your ceremony is something that you will remember and cherish for the rest of your life!

As a student and teacher of Philosophy, I believe that a fulfilling spiritual life is achieved through many different paths, and that true happiness comes from self-realization and authenticity. My personal beliefs are centered around Love as the supreme guiding principle, and I respect the truth and wisdom within every religion that recognizes that central tenet. 

Although we specialize in working with non-religious couples, we are happy to include religious elements to respect your traditions and reflect your unique connection as a couple. We take an open-minded approach and are dedicated to putting heart and soul into every ceremony so you can have the special day that you deserve!
