    Made our day special!

    Wonderful to work with! She made sure to customize it to our relationship, making our ceremony special and unique to us. She is very personable and caring. When I had cold feet she was more than willing to have a gentle conversation with me to calm my nerves. So glad it was her that married us! Highly recommend!

    Rev Patti at Circus Park

    Patti was absolutely amazing! She helped us keep everything smooth sailing even with changes we had to make as last minute as the week of the wedding. She gave us a copy of what she was going to say for us prior to the wedding and let us make changes as we wished (even though it was a perfect sum up of our relationship, so we didn't have to!). Patti made our ceremony very enjoyful for not only us but our guests had some laughs in there as well. We are extremely thankful for her taking the time to get to know my husband and I so she had the perfect script to share for us.

    Great person!

    Caring, flexible, sense of humor (important to us), and gave us great suggestions when we had no idea what to do!

    The Rev Patti is awesome

    Absolutely loved Patti from the first phone call to the picture we took together after the ceremony! She was so fun to work with and we had no problem switching our weeding date from 2020 to 2021.

    Amazing and personal

    Patti did an amazing job at writing up our wedding ceremony. She listened to our love story and took it and interwove it with the way she ministered our wedding. There was not a dry eye in the house at the way she included my children in the ceremony. Also she is a positive light and a big comfort on the day of the ceremony when nerves were running high.

    You’ll be thrilled with Reverend Patti!

    Reverend Patti was our wedding officiant in summer 2021. She was amazing! You could tell she had a lot of experience as she guided us through how the ceremony usually goes. She knew what questions to ask and was there to support us.

    Our rehearsal was very rainy but the Reverend came with a smile, walking us through what to do.

    Our wedding turned out great and you can tell she really cares about you as a couple. You will not regret going with Reverend Patti!

    Professional Low Key Chill Kind

    Reverend Patti was exactly what we were looking for. It was sort of last minute. The courthouse cancelled our original wedding day. So I called Patti and she made the trip to Ann Arbor. It was freezing cold, outdoors, 8 people or so, in the middle of the pandemic. And she showed up on time, communicated very well, was a good sport about being outside in the middle of winter. It was a lot of fun.

    Covid Bride

    As many covid brides know this year did not go how we expected! I had to downsize my wedding and a few weeks before the wedding my pastor suddenly passed. I was left frantically looking for an officiant. When I reached out to Reverend Patti she was so quick to respond!! I feel so blessed that I found someone so patient and knowledgeable. Reverend Patti talked us through the whole ceremony and made everything so easy for us, on what can be a bit of a stressful day. Thank you Reverend Patti!!!(:

    Rev Patti was AMAZING!

    Rev Patti was great! We can't say enough wonderful things about her. She made our day so smooth and made sure that all of our fears and questions were answered and taken care of. We didn't have to worry about anything! She was professional, on-time, and made sure our day went exactly how we envisioned it. We would recommend her to any couples seeking an officiant!

    Professional and Amazing!!

    Rev Patti. Ruhala was a huge part of our day! We could not have done this without her. Planning a wedding during the pandemic was so stressful, but she honestly took that stress away from us. She was always so responsive and open to what we imagined for our big day. She was patient, kind, and kept our wedding party in order. 5/5 and we would recommend her to anyone getting married! Thank you Rev. Patti for being apart of our special day and making it perfect.

    Patti is a Pro!

    Patti did a wonderful job throughout our wedding process and at the ceremony. She was always responsive, checked in with myself and my mom on how things were going, and made the rehearsal and day of the ceremony go very smoothly yet still had fun and joked with us and my bridal party. It is very important to have a great officiant- I have attended some weddings and wondered if the officiant was more nervous than the couple! But she knows what she's doing! Our ceremony felt intimate and personal yet still light and happy. I would definitely recommend Patti to anyone for their big day!
