Absolutely Awesome!

Paula was amazing! I was so stressed with almost being late to my own wedding as well as a few of our family members plus how disorganized some things seemed to be as my husband and I have never organized anything like this before and she was so patient with everything. Paula really made the day special for us. Her services are very affordable and most definitely worth every single penny. If you are choosing an officiant for your wedding, please choose A Wedding in a Wink! I cannot thank her enough for being part of our very special day!

Amazing experience

The experience was so much more than we had expected. We originally planned to get married at the courthouse and with Covid that wasn’t possible. Wedding in a wink helped us to plan the perfect little ceremony in a very short time. I was so happy with the outcome.

Autumn Elopement Perfection

The officiant Paula actually hiked a good ways into the Arboretum of Ann Arbor to get to our ceremony location on the riverbank of the Huron River. We couldn’t have asked for a simpler and more beautiful ceremony. Thank you so much!!!

Patient and adaptive

Paula was amazing, very patient and adaptive to the circumstances of the ceremony. A very pleasant and professional person, who clearly enjoys what they do. It should go without saying that she was punctual and prepared, as well.

Simple and Easy!

After Covid-19 had us moving our wedding plans back a year, but still needing to be legally married on a short notice, Paula's simplest "Wink in a Blink" package was perfect for us. She was professional and responsive, even for a tiny 6-person (+ some family on Zoom) wedding like ours. It was honestly probably simpler than having to schedule a courthouse date and go through all that, and we got the added bonus of being able to pick a location with significance! I would highly recommend.
