About
Do you prefer tying the knot at either Leadbetter Beach or the Ventura Pier in Santa Barbara? Alternatively, would you like to exchange vows at Carpinteria's Franklin Trail or Ojai's Shelf Road?

As an experienced public speaker and wedding official, I have presided over ceremonies in various settings, from grand church weddings with large crowds to intimate private gatherings beneath a banyan tree. I am always available, even with short notice, to travel to venues across the Ventura and Santa Barbara regions and make your special day truly unforgettable.

Rest assured that I take care of all legal paperwork and deliver it to you on the day of the ceremony. My fees are competitive, though they may fluctuate based on location, travel time, and estimated duration of the ceremony.

Additionally, I offer exclusive discounts for military personnel, veterans, and first responders.

Philip was hired by us just a month before the scheduled wedding event. Despite the fact that we were from out of town, he showed great flexibility in working with us. He met all our requirements and gave us a brief yet beautiful ceremony, which was exactly what we had hoped for! Thank you very much, Philip!

Phillip was a true savior! We stumbled upon him online and what an incredible experience it turned out to be. His prompt response, friendliness and reassuring demeanour helped us relax. The wedding day went off without a hitch and planning was a breeze. We are so grateful for your invaluable assistance!

Phillip was an amazing officiant! Despite us hiring him quite last minute (only a few weeks before our wedding) due to our procrastination, he remained very understanding and patient. He was always supportive of our ideas and goals for the ceremony, offering assistance and examples while also respecting our wishes to personalize everything ourselves. Thanks to his guidance, we were able to create our own script from scratch and even write our own vows, with him providing inspiration for the ring exchange. Phillip was incredibly accommodating, adapting seamlessly to the final script we gave him just days before the wedding. Despite no rehearsals or additional meetings (aside from the initial Skype call), he delivered an exceptional ceremony that was both touching and flawlessly executed. We were overjoyed with the outcome, and would highly recommend him to anyone searching for an officiant who is flexible, talented, and caring. Thank you, Phillip, for making our ceremony unforgettable! :)

For my wedding, I had to plan quickly and choose an unconventional spot with specific needs. Luckily, Philip Rockwell was the ideal person to officiate the ceremony. He made me feel at ease and was very accommodating throughout the process. Additionally, his reasonable pricing and prompt, amiable communication made him an exemplary choice. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a straightforward and budget-friendly wedding.
