We got so many compliments on the wedding ceremony. Everyone really loved how you told our story and it made the guests feel engaged with the ceremony and with us as a couple. We thought you did a great job of including the guests - the greeting amongst everyone especially was really well received. We loved how comfortable you were to tell the joke before the dinner... it was even more hilarious how you just walked away!!!

One thing that we would have liked to have seen was maybe a blessing before the meal - which we may or may not have discussed but in the grand scheme of things not a big deal.

Overall, we really don't have anything negative to say. It was the most memorable day of our lives and we were glad to have you to get to know us beforehand and really make our ceremony so personal!

To sum things up, we loved that you were so open about your history and really wanted to get to know us before committing to the engagement. Although we knew what we wanted when we first met, having the opportunity to really discuss those desires with you helped to cement them in our minds. We really appreciated your history and understanding of different religious traditions and your questioning about what words and phrases would be appropriate for us, our families and their religious expectations. Although I know you usually prefer to do more of the ceremony planning and meetings on a more spread out timeframe, we actually enjoyed doing them so close to the actual wedding because they kept us focused on why we were getting married and what our relationship was and meant to us rather than getting caught up in all the stress of planning a wedding. We loved the opportunity to just sit and talk with you as a friend and share our stories with you. It was a wonderful chance for us to brag about the other with them getting to listen in. Those evenings were ones in which we felt very connected and were reminded about how special our relationship really is.

The ceremony itself was beautiful. We especially liked the guests being invited to greet each other. This took some of the tension off of us and our attendants and brought everyone back to a very calm, happy place. The sermonette was good, and we have to tell you that "love sandwich" has become quite an amusing inside joke for our friends and family :) Obviously being able to write our own vows was very important to us and we appreciated all your help with that. We got lots of compliments about how beautiful and personal the ceremony was and how much people enjoyed the quotes and the vows.

We really appreciate how much time and attention you devoted to getting everything right. It was a wonderful day and one that we will remember forever.

I am the mother of the bride and I would highly recommend Paul if you are looking for a well qualified Officiant. He is extremely professional as he meets with couples to interview them and find out their preferences and wishes. He then incorporates their ideas into a meaningful and well delivered ceremony. His ceremonies are well planned and well communicated and he offers suggestions and other helpful ideas to be considered. Please interview him if you are looking for an Officiant. It will be worth your time.

Paul was an excellent officiant! He is great to work with and spent a lot of time with us in the months leading up to the wedding learning our story. It was perfectly personalized and our guests loved it. I highly recommend Paul!

Paul was the officiant for our wedding ceremony and he was wonderful! He was very thorough in his preparation and the ceremony was very well organized. He took the time to get to know us well before the wedding. Highly recommended!

Paul was a kind, quirky, and generous officiant. Though we hired him a little late in the game, and subsequently did things a bit differently, he took the time to collect our love story and share it with our friends and family on the day of our wedding.
