Your wedding ceremony can be as unique as your love story! I specialize in creating a personalized ceremony that reflects the love and life you've built, the real foundation of your marriage.
I've believe that your wedding ceremony should genuinely mirror the love and life you've made together. Through an open conversation, we'll delve into your love story; tell me what you think and feel about one another. I listen and take extensive notes of your impressions, how you met, what you've grown to love, appreciate, and respect about one another, how your individual traits and qualities complement each other, and how you enhance each other’s lives. I'll offer suggestions to create a polished ceremony that not only pays tribute to your love but also strengthens your connection, leaving a lasting impression on you and your loved ones.
I'm a skilled interviewer and writer focused exclusively on crafting very personalized wedding ceremonies. I'm also an extensively experienced public speaker who knows every aspect of what a complete wedding ceremony requires of an officiant. And with inspiration from a rich history of past weddings I've conducted, I can offer you a wealth of unique options and fresh spins on any wedding tradition.

Many guests assumed he was related to the couple due to his heartfelt and personalized ceremonies. Paul's attention to detail, calm presence, and seamless execution of ceremonies contribute to making couples' wedding days unforgettable.
Professional and genuine
We had two phone consultations with him prior to our wedding ceremony. During the first one we got to talk about his service and his process and decide if we were a good fit. During the second call my fiancé and I both spoke with him. We shared our love story and some things that make us unique as a couple.
Just by using these two short interactions, Paul, created the perfect wedding ceremony. It was personalized for us and I got to pick from about three different sets of vows. He took all our requests into consideration and he was easy to work with.

I finally had the pleasure of working with Paul on a recent wedding and was so impressed. We have very similar philosophies about how a wedding day should go. Smooth, easy, not rushed. He took a page right out of my book, reminding the couple to breathe and take it all in. His calm, cool demeanor was appreciated. Paul just has an amazing energy about him. I would definitely recommend him to future clients, and hope to work with him again very soon! Update 9/10/18: I had the pleasure of working with Paul again this past weekend and it was absolutely flawless. He has such an ease about him, which is not only appreciated by me and my staff, but the couple and their guests, as well. I had several guests approach me and tell me what a great job he did. He just simply knocks it out of the park every time. :)
I have had the pleasure of working with Paul many different times and it is always a great experience. He is one of the nicest people that I have met and is extremely professional. He is always at the rehearsal the day before the wedding to make sure that everything goes flawless for the big day. You can tell that he is extremely passionate about what he does and you can assure that your ceremony will go smoothly and be full of passion and love with Paul leading the way. I would highly recommend him for anyone that is searching for an officiant, you will not be disappointed!
Paul was GREAT to work with! He was friendly, professional and has a great sense of humor. We loved working with him and highly recommend him.
