How I Work

You, as my potential client, contact me by e-mail or telephone.  In our first conversation I will get a broad sense of the sort of ceremony you want, and a feel for your style and situation.  I can also answer any general questions you may have.

The next step is to meet in person, in your home or at some other comfortable venue. There I can learn more about the focus of the ceremony, and what will make it a truly satisfying experience for you.  Once we pick a date, I begin to design a ceremony that incorporates meaningful readings, music, traditions and other elements.  Where appropriate, I write speeches, vows, homilies, eulogies and special blessings. I check with you every step of the way to ensure that the ceremony as it evolves expresses your needs and wishes; you are also free to contact me by phone or email at any time.

A final draft of the “script” is submitted in advance of the ceremony, and we conduct a rehearsal if one has been pre-arranged.  When the Big Day comes, I direct and officiate at the ceremony itself, and you can rest easy knowing that both the logistics and the spirit of the event have been lovingly – and meticulously – taken care of.

For a free consultation to discuss these or any other ceremonies, please e-mail me at adam@phillipsceremonies.com or call 917-670-9293
