Franklin Wedding

At first, we struggled to find an officiant and came across Pauline late in the planning stages via an internet search. She was ultra professional, helped us make the right choices and worked within our fairly limited budget. Pauline was fantastic at striking a balance about drawing attention to herself when she needed to and giving my wife and I the spotlight when needed. We appreciated her and would suggest her to anyone else.

A True Wedding Officiant Superhero!

When my partner of 6 years and I decided to make it official, we had no idea the adventure that awaited us. After a smooth license application process, we hit a roadblock trying to find a judge to officiate. Enter Pauline Downey, our wedding day savior!

From the moment we called her (thanks to Trent, the helpful City Clerk), Pauline demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and flexibility. Within 20 minutes of our call, she arrived at the courthouse, ready to make our impromptu wedding a reality.

Pauline's warm personality immediately put us at ease. Her vast knowledge of the process made the legal aspects a breeze, and her genuine joy in being part of our special moment was evident throughout.

Not only was Pauline incredibly accommodating and efficient, but she was also remarkably affordable. Her ability to drop everything and come to our rescue truly saved the day.

If you're looking for a wedding officiant who combines expertise, kindness, and adaptability, look no further than Pauline Downey. She turned what could have been a stressful situation into a memorable and joyous occasion. We couldn't be more grateful for her services and highly recommend her to anyone in need of an officiant.

Thank you, Pauline, for making our courthouse wedding an unforgettable experience! We will be sure to utilize your services when we have the ceremony!

Energetic officiant!

Pauline was an amazing officiant for our wedding! She gave us several vow template ideas for our ceremony and we were able to pull different pieces from each one and she created beautiful vows! She was a clear choice for us because of her energetic, fun-loving personality. We would recommend Pauline to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

We loved her!

Thank you Pauline for putting up wth our laziness related to your service. We didn't help you very much at all, but you made our ceremony feel well thought out and beautiful anyway :)

Absolutely perfect

Pauline was amazing!!! On time, did exactly what she said she would for our 20th anniversary/renewal of our vows, and her price was more than reasonable. If she’s still in business in ten more years, we will have her do our 30th. Thank you again Pauline. You made our day special.
