Phil + Jackie – Gorokan

“Philip was an amazing celebrant. He made our day perfect and exactly what we had envisioned. He was kind and so caring that he made sure the delivery was exactly what we wanted. He also has excellent attention to detail and was so organised that he handled all the administrative tasks related to the actual marriage documents and certificate. This greatly helped reduce wedding-planning stress! Thank you, Philip!”
Ali + Nic – Tea Room, QVB

“Philip was an exceptional wedding celebrant, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly. His calm voice and wonderful presence made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process.

Thank you so much, Philip, for making our day so special!”

The ceremony was beautifully personalised, relaxed, and delivered perfectly, creating such a memorable experience for our guests and us. The communication throughout the planning process was excellent, and Philip made everything feel easy and stress-free. We received so many compliments about how heartfelt and engaging the ceremony was. We highly recommend Philip to any couple looking for a celebrant who is organised, caring, and truly passionate about what they do.”
Chris + Maria – Auburn Botanic Gardens

“Philip was the celebrant at our Wedding back in 2023. We couldn’t have asked for more – he walked us through the full process, provided a guide to help determine exactly what would be said and what the ceremony would include, and even learned Tagalog for our Filipino guests. At all times, he was calm, professional and helped make a wonderful ceremony without making it about him. Thank you, Philip!”

Rasam + Sanam – Wallalong House, Hunter Valley

“Philip was absolutely amazing! Warm, friendly, and professional, he made our ceremony so special, personal, and full of joy. He made us feel comfortable from start to finish, and we couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. Highly recommend. Thank you once again, Philip, for making our day so memorable!”
Ema and Pramod – Hornsby

“We loved Philip! He put together a beautiful ceremony for us, with the warming of the rings, a sand ceremony, and beautiful stories. We were proud to be at his 1000th ceremony! Thanks, Philip x”
Amelia and Brendan – Q Station, Manly

“We had an engagement ceremony last year with a different celebrant, and honestly, it wasn’t a great experience — her voice was low, she wasn’t engaging or funny, and the whole vibe felt quite flat. So this time, for our vow renewal, I took my time to do proper research. I found Philip Holland, Sydney Marriage Celebrant and MC, through Google and even watched his YouTube videos. Although a bit old, I could truly feel his passion and warmth. From the moment I saw him, I had a good feeling — he seemed approachable, genuine, and just gave off the right vibe. I’m so glad I chose him. No regrets at all! Philip was kind, professional, and created such a heartfelt and warm atmosphere for our special day. I also invited his lovely wife, Ros, to join, and together they made the experience even better. Both of them were so friendly and made everyone feel comfortable. Thank you so much, Philip and Ros! You helped make our vow renewal truly meaningful. Highly recommended!”
Bennie + Keith – Zest, Point Piper

“Thanks to Philip, our day was absolutely perfect. With a Wedding Ceremony of 100 + people in an intimate venue, everything unfolded seamlessly as planned, and everyone relished the relaxed atmosphere. Philip played a pivotal role in putting everyone at ease, ensuring smiles all around. We are thoroughly pleased with his ability to create a personal touch and would wholeheartedly recommend Philip for any Wedding Ceremony.”
Sam + Alicia – Beta Events, Sydney

“Thank you, Philip, for a wonderful wedding! Even though we had tons of questions about the wedding, he was generous enough to keep answering them. He provided us with a wedding manual full of examples, which was really helpful and made our wedding feel very personal. He introduced everything up to the wedding day so smoothly and without stress that we were well informed throughout the busy preparations.
With his successful weather record, it stopped raining right during the ceremony, regardless of the unfortunate weather! His gentle voice and attitude made us feel relaxed and confident during the ceremony, which allowed our photographers to capture the best shots. We could not recommend Philip highly enough! Many thanks!”
George + Erika – Bible Garden, Palm Beach

“Philip was the perfect marriage celebrant. He made us both feel very comfortable in what is admittedly a nerve-racking experience. He is easy to communicate with and get along with. Everyone at our ceremony loved him, especially those who are looking for a celebrant of their own.
During a stressful time and through a million changed plans (thanks, Covid). Philip kept up with my constant emails and put our minds at ease. Thanks a million, Philip!”
Melissa + Daniel – Collits Inn, Hartley Vale

“We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant! Philip is warm, relaxed, and well-spoken, and he knows weddings like the back of his hand. We felt like we were in safe hands from the word go. So nice to have one less thing to worry about when planning a wedding. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.”
Zoe + Troy – Hunter Valley
