About this vendor

Hi, I’m Rev. Paul Underhay, (most people call me Pastor Paul), an ordained minister and wedding officiant in South Florida. My goal? To create a ceremony that’s meaningful, memorable, and—most importantly—exactly what you want (not just what your mother-in-law insists it should be).

With over 40 years of experience and more than 1,000 weddings officiated, I’ve seen it all—happy tears, spontaneous dance moves, and the occasional flower girl who decides mid-aisle that she’s had enough. My job is to make your ceremony seamless, personal, and stress-free (at least, as far as the officiant is concerned!).

From our first consultation, I’ll help guide you through the process, making sure your ceremony feels authentic to you. Whether you’re dreaming of a religious, interfaith, multicultural, or totally outside-the-box wedding, I’m here to bring it to life—no judgment if you want to include a movie quote or make your dog the ring bearer. Let’s make your big day unforgettable!

The best person to unite a marriage

Pastor Paul married my husband and I on October 2023. He was gracious, professional, respects different religious backgrounds and makes you feel very comfortable during your ceremony when all you can think of is how nervous you are. He has a very nice, soothing voice and he even comes with some jokes. Everyone on my wedding day loved him and said he was perfect. I highly recommend his services! He also has a lovely wife named Esther that I also hired for the ceremony to play the harp. She was magnificent! My wedding was a dream come true. Pastor Paul and Esther, you guys are amazing!

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Can't say enough about Pastor Paul! He put us instantly at ease with his playful sense of humor and his obvious love for his job. And that rich, resonant theatrical voice! Made quite the impression at our wedding. He's a showman, but he's also a good listener who took the time learn our story and craft a ceremony that was just right for us. And that made the magic even stronger. We highly recommend him!

Thank You Pastor Paul!

As parents of the Bride, we want to say that Pastor Paul was amazing. He was professional, personable, patient and also had a sense of humor. He made the Bride & Groom both feel calm and comfortable during the ceremony. It was such a pleasure to work with him. Their Special Day was made even more Special by having Pastor Paul officiate. We are so happy to have found him and highly recommend him.

Perfect Day!

Pastor Paul was great to work with. He was very flexible, easy going with our plans, and professional. We got married In August outdoors in Miami and he was able to conduct our ceremony beautifully, while being mindful of length to ensure guests were not too hot. Definitely an amazing experience and would recommend!

Highly recommend!

Pastor Paul was easy to work with- especially with his 3 “wedding vow” ceremony options he offers on his website so you can see exactly what he is going to say. He is very experienced- highly recommend!

The Farquharson Wedding 6/9/24

Pastor Paul was absolutely a pleasure to have to officiate our wedding. He made sure that we were so comfortable and we’re able to focus on just each other during the ceremony. Not only did he come a couple hours early before the ceremony to make sure he was there and we didn’t have to worry about him being there on time but he came to each of us individually as we were getting ready to check and see how we were doing. I won’t forget what he said all we had to do was remember each others name and as funny as it sounds it was so great that we didn’t have to overthink so much and he just made the process so much easier for our ceremony. Everyone that was at the wedding was complimenting how great he was and what a wonderful service he did during the ceremony. He did a great job performing our ceremony the way we wanted it! We highly recommend Pastor Paul!

10/10 recommend!!!

Picking an officiant was one of the vendors I stressed and over-analyzed the most! It’s such a hard decision especially if you’re not a member of a church or know someone personally. Paul Underhay was the perfect match for us. He is incredibly professional, communicative, his voice is so unique which really adds a special touch to the ceremony in my opinion. Don’t hesitate to end your journey of searching and book Paul Underhay for your wedding!

It is always a pleasure to play the harp for weddings that Pastor Paul is officiating. I enjoy watching how the couple relates to him, how he puts them at ease to be able to savor this special moment in time. It is particularly special as we work together with a couple to create the ceremony they have always dreamed of.
