Very accommodating

I wanted to get married without planning anything, and there was just enough people in attendance to make it kind of chaotic. Paul rolled with the punches and was very accommodating of our lack of a plan, which is somewhat remarkable. It was a great service, and Paul did a great job.

We cannot say enough good things about Paul

Seriously Paul was amazing. I cannot say enough good things about him. We were a little nervous using an officiant from across the country but he blew us away. His vows were absolutely perfect and it instantly felt like we knew him for years. He was even willing to indulge us by wearing a Michael Myers mask for some funny photos of our Halloween elopement. We are so grateful for Paul and blessed to have had him as a part of our special day that we will never forget!

Redwoods Elopement

Paul could not have personalized the wedding ceremony any more beautiful than he did. Our ceremony sounded like Paul had known us our whole lives. He grasped the important details of our lives that made this special day even more magical. Paul also went out of his way to help me with things that he did not have too. Thank you for everything, Paul.
