We are so happy we chose Patrice as our officiant. She is so sweet and nice, and has a wealth of knowledge! Patrice made the process super easy for us and made us feel like we had known her for years.
Our ceremony was exactly how we envisioned it - romantic, lighthearted and joyful. And not only did Patrice allow us to curate our ceremony to what we wanted, but we also have a booklet of our ceremony that we plan to re-read on our wedding anniversary forevermore. Thank you, Patrice, for helping make our day so special! -

Trice perfectly captured our relationship and created a ceremony that really felt like us. One of our favorite experiences leading up to getting married was meeting with Trice and talking to her about marriage and our courtship. We felt so grounded on the big day knowing that she was leading the way and I can't imagine our special day without her! -

Patrice is fantastic! I am so grateful we found her. From the moment we spoke via phone, I could tell that she was warm, sincere and an experienced and dependable professional, exactly what we needed for our special day! She made our ceremony feel natural yet polished and her readings were truly perfect for us. Everything flowed so beautifully and we could not be happier with how it all turned out, thanks to Patrice! -

Patrice made our day more than we could hope for!
Looking back on everything leading up to our wedding and our actual wedding day itself, Patrice was such an amazing part! She had all the best recommendations and suggestions and truly made our ceremony feel more special than we could ever imagine. She was calming and professional and welcomed everyone and gave us all her pro tips like how to walk in and where to go. Having her expertise for all the paperwork was completely critical and took so much of the stress off of us as well. We felt like we knew her for ages, she was so amazing to work with and hopefully we get lucky enough to do a vow renewal and can work with her again!!! (Photo from Sarah/Tessa Tadlock) -

A true wonder!
If you are searching for an amazing, personable, and professional officiant look no further! Patrice made our ceremony both touching and memorable. We really appreciate the time she took in crafting our ceremony. Both sides of the family expressed how lovely Patrice made the event. Thank you Patrice! -

Patrice was the final touch to make our wedding ceremony perfect. We had a couple calls with her to get to know her in the weeks leading up to the ceremony and she really listened and cares about our love story. I couldn't imagine anyone else officiating our wedding in Santa Barbara. Her words were so kind and there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd. We also decided to purchase a keepsake booklet from her that outlines our entire ceremony so we can have it forever and look at it on our future anniversaries. Thank you Patrice! -

Sunken Gardens Elopement
Patrice was our officiant for our elopement ceremony at the Sunken Gardens in Santa Barbara. Patrice could not have been more accommodating, communicative, professional, and knowledgeable. From start to finish, she led us on our path to our ceremony with ease. Through talking with her on multiple occasions, our ceremony turned into something much more than we imagined. Our ceremony turned out to be more individualized and representative of us and our family. She made sure to get to know us and our family’s on a personal level and made us feel very comfortable with the flow of the ceremony. After the ceremony, all anyone in our family could talk about was how wonderful Patrice and the ceremony was. We thank her for making our day so special and would recommend her to anyone!! -

Patrice was our officiant for our elopement and she is just so so lovely! From our initial consultation over the phone to finally meeting her in person, she always just made my now wife and I feel calm, happy, and at ease (which is important on such a big day)!
Our parents didn't attend our ceremony (due to COVID), but Patrice called me the day of just to tell me to really soak in the moment and enjoy the day. Even my own parent's didn't do that!
Thank you Patrice! -

You can't go wrong with Patrice!
We wanted to take a moment to thank Patrice with SB Classic Weddings from the bottom of our hearts for making our ceremony so special. We knew we wanted to get married in Santa Barbara but after talking to Patrice for the first time we felt so comforted and knew we were in the best hands to make our day as special as it could possibly be. When working with Patrice, something you'll be able to detect right away is how genuine she is. We made it a point to really focus and listen to every word Patrice said during the ceremony and it was so beautifully written and was delivered with so much love too. All of our family, as it was a small family only wedding, was just so engaged with the entire ceremony. We spoke over the phone with Patrice and exchanged emails many times before our big day, and she always made it seem like she had all the time in the world for us. She was always so encouraging too, and that gave us confidence too as we've never been married before! She really helped make our day more amazing and memorable than we ever could have imagined. I don't think we knew before going into it how important the officiant is to the whole day, and we know we made the right choice! -

Patrice's knowledgeable expertise and easy mannerism immediately made us feel 1000% better about the ceremony. She helped us craft our love notes to each other, readings, vows, and told our story so beautifully I cannot express how grateful we are to have her as our officiant. I wish I could giver her more stars! 5 is definitely not enough. -

Patrice made our wedding absolutely amazing. From the first consultation, my future bride and I were put completely at ease by her knowledge, patience, and ability to pull together the story that would be told on our special day. When it came time for the wedding Patrice delivered surpassing all expectations. She eliminated any anxious feelings my wife and I were having allowing us to actually experience and enjoy the moment. Planning and executing a wedding can be hard, but working with Patrice is not. She is the real deal. -

When we decided to elope to Santa Barbara for our vows, one of the hardest parts was to trust someone we met online to be our officiant. My husband (!!) and I are both religious but also very spiritual and it was hard to find the right balance. I talked to a few people and decided that perhaps we'd just do the courthouse thing and then take some photos in our formal clothes. Something just didn't feel right about though, so I googled a few terms about what I wanted in my officiant ('Santa Barbara' and 'boho' to name two) and Santa Barbara Classic Weddings popped up with a blog post about how to make a wedding feel natural and bohemian.
It was 8:30 at night when I called Patrice and we talked for at least 30 minutes. Our meeting was definitely clandestine. From the first word we probably uttered to each other, our souls seemed to realize that they were of the same cloth. It took no time to realize that she would perfectly suit us as an officiant.
Throughout the next few months we decided on vows and the rest of the ceremony material. She was very easy to chat with and was even flexible to change the date and time of the vows. The week before, she called and talked more, wanting details of how we met and fell in love.
The ceremony was breath-taking. She spoke tenderly and even teared up when my husband and I did. She included a special note I emailed to her from our dog, Lady.
Not many things in life are perfect, but our wedding vows were. I cannot even formulate the right words to describe how much I recommend Patrice let alone thank her for officiating the vows that bonded my wonderful best friend and I as husband and wife.
