Phyllis Diller Wedding FAQs
Who is Phyllis Diller?
If you’re unfamiliar with comedy legend, first female comedian to obtain worldwide success from 1955-2002, midcentury icon, Phyllis Diller, then I may not be the right person to officiate your wedding. Her one-liner style, laden with classic comedy likely may not land well if most in attendance wouldn’t appreciate the older references.
Will you/she do anything lewd or crude? Is it safe for grandchildren?
Phyllis Diller’s mid-century, classic comedy, may occasionally use innuendo, make more mature jokes, or jokes that may not be PC with all of today’s crowds, (no profanity) but it’s all in good fun, and no one should feel cringy about anything. If you need the content to be squeaky-clean or conservative, make sure you communicate that ahead of time so she can leave some of her classic material at home with Fang.
How long does the funny wedding last?
A Phyllis Diller funny wedding is usually approximately 15 minutes in length. It can be longer or shorter. It all depends on what elements you’re looking for or how much comedy you would like included.
Will the wedding ceremony be customized?
Your later-in-life wedding will be the perfect combination of incorporating personal information about the happy couple, as well as marriage and love jokes taken from all the years Phyllis spent with her “husband” Fang.
How much advance notice do I need to give to book?
The more advance notice, the better to ensure availability. However, within Michigan there is only a three day waiting period on getting a marriage license, so short notice can also work.
Can I take photos or video of the wedding?
Oh please do! Photos and video are definitely welcomed and appreciated. She’d would love for you to post them online and tag her @ThePhyllisDiller on Instagram and @ThePhyllisDiller on Facebook. You can also send them to her at lauriepayers @ gmail. com. Notwithstanding, rest assured, no identifying pics or video will be posted without your permission. Phyllis will stick around for photo ops and meet and greet after the marriage license is signed, if requested.

References are available from other couples that have used her as an officiant. She has never missed a wedding. These once-in-a-lifetime events don’t have an opportunity for a second chance. Let’s just say, she’ll be there come hell or highwater.
On the very rare occasion (it’s never happened yet) that she can’t make it due to a car accident, a snowstorm, emergency, an illness, or other unexpected event, she will communicate as soon as is possible. You will, of course, be fully refunded and offered a FREE future booking for your next party, wedding, or family gathering.
Does Laurie impersonate any other celebrities?
You can also get married by Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek. Or if you prefer something not as outlandish, Laurie is a comedian and also officiates funny comedy weddings as herself. There is humor in all her ceremonies.
Why do you keep saying I, She, Phyllis, Laurie, We?
Confusing, isn’t it? How do you think I feel? Bottom line is it’s Laurie, being Phyllis Diller. When I become Phyllis, I channel her, and it’s as if she is here. The queen of comedy can’t be here in person since she passed August 20, 2012. I have been chosen by her to represent her.
