WEDDING CEREMONY ONLINE VIA ZOOM AVAILABLE!!!

"Hey you married me"! "Didn't you marry my cousin"? "You're the guy who married my sister"!

That's what I hear all the time after marrying thousands of couples over 20 years as a Justice of the Peace here in Tucson.

I've officiated weddings at the courthouse, local resorts, restaurants, social halls, parks, ranches and homes all over town. Ceremonies have included everything from short and sweet to formal and elaborate or casual and fun. I have been delighted to meet so many terrific couples from Tucson and all over the world.

I am pleased to be able to offer customized and unique wedding ceremonies to couples. I specialize in providing customer service throughout the process designed to keep you feeling at ease right up through wedding day.

You have many decisions to make when it comes to planning your wedding. Choosing the right officiant is as important as any other decision. You can trust that I will be responsive to your needs. I am a great listener and am easy to communicate with. We will work together to create a ceremony that is just right for you. I promise to be easy to contact, show up on time and to set the proper tone for the ceremony.

Thousands of couples have trusted me to marry them over 20 years as a Justice of the Peace. I am so pleased to continue now for years in retirement to officiate civil or non-denominational ceremonies. Lets get in touch!

Exceeded all expectations!

Paul Simon took his time to learn about my bride and me. He was attentive to our vision of our ceremony and was happy to accommodate us. Paul explained the entire process to us, which helped ease the nerves. On the big day, he went above and beyond. Everyone was very impressed with how Paul officiated our ceremony. Thank you, Paul!

Simple, Fast, Easy... Exactly what I wanted

I've had anxiety about the actual ceremony of getting married for years, but Paul made our small ceremony about me and my wife only; that helped a lot. I can't speak to his skill in larger ceremonies, but if you're like me and want to announce your marriage to the world with a regular conversation instead of a bullhorn, you'd choose wisely if you chose Paul.

Paul was absolutely phenomenal

We can not be more thankful for Paul. From our very first conversation with him, we knew he would do a phenomenal job officiating our wedding, and he exceeding all of our hopes and expectations. Paul took the time to get to know us as a couple, to identify what makes us unique, and to learn about our love story. He prepared such a magnificent unique personalized ceremony, and wowed us and all of our guests. We received so many complements on Paul and still can't get over the ceremony he prepared. If you are able to get Paul to officiate your wedding, you are in GREAT hands!
Thank you again Paul!!

Beautiful Ceremony

Paul was absolutely amazing!! My husband and I are not the best at talking in front of people and he made everything feel super easy. We had two phone calls with Paul which he explained everything and how the process would go which for Kyle and I was super important as we were very nervous about ceremony.

He told our story exactly how we wanted and there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd! I would recommend Paul to anyone getting married as he is very professional and has a way with words! Thanks again for everything Paul!

Paul personalized and made our ceremony feel unique.

Paul was an amazing officiant from start to finish with clear thorough communication. He helped my wife and I know what to expect, personalized our ceremony and made our moment special. All my guests commented how great the ceremony was and gave rave reviews. We had two conference style phone calls that helped us ease our nervousness with the wedding and know what to expect. Paul will make your wedding easy for you and take that stress off of you.

Paul was amazing

Paul was professional, friendly and conducted an amazing ceremony. You can tell he's done a number of weddings by the ease and confident approach he takes. We couldn't have asked for anyone better than Paul to marry us. He will no doubt be a great officiant for your wedding too!

The most personal perfect ceremony

Paul was incredible from the start! We are a couple who decided to elope to Arizona from Australia and we were so worried we weren't going to find our perfect celebrant. How wrong we were! Paul made our ceremony so personal and tailored down to the small little details of our relationship. Everything he spoke about was so incredibly heartfelt and honestly it was perfect!
I would recommend Paul to anyone who is looking for that 'bit extra' in their ceremony, someone who will put the effort into the words and will speak from the heart. We loved our experience with Paul and we cannot recommend him enough!

THANK YOU PAUL!!!!

Married by Paul Ceremony

Paul officiated our wedding in October last year. He personalized the ceremony in a way that was above our expectations even though we only chatted with him a few times during the pandemic. The ceremony was interactive, engaging, humorous and serious in all of the best ways possible.

Excellent Officiant

Paul is extremely professional and his ceremony was awesome! He was very easy to get in touch with whenever we needed. The "getting to know you" phase is fun and personal. Paul really pays attention to the details you give him when chatting, and makes the ceremony extremely personal. The way he talked about us made it seem as if he had been around our entire relationship. 100% would recommend!

Kind and accommodating

Paul was kind and accommodating. My wife and I couldn't be more pleased with how the service went. A note to others: at first we were skeptical but on further reflection due to COVID-19 we had a zoom wedding and it actually worked out better that way, at least for us! Thank you Paul for making it special
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
