My husband and I opted to do the extra premarital counseling with Pastor Paul, as well as have him officiate our wedding and we are so thankful that we did! It was so great getting to know Pastor Paul as well as having him get acquainted with us before the wedding! It made the wedding day even more special to have someone we felt connected with to wed us! Pastor Paul is such a genuine person. He made our wedding ceremony so beautiful! It was actually my favorite part of the wedding!
If you want to have a very touching and loving wedding ceremony, I highly recommend Pastor Paul Gates!!

So we found Paul on Wedding Wire after our officiant fell through. We had really hoped to have someone who knew us conduct our ceremony to make it more special. Paul delivered! We did the pre-marital counseling sessions with him, which I would definitely recommend. It got Paul to know us both better (and vice versa), and it just had us come together a little closer as an engaged couple. Paul does cost a bit more than some officiants listed, but I honestly can't put a price on our interactions with him. Both the pre-marital, and the ceremony itself. It felt like a friend doing our ceremony. And no joke, we got SO MANY compliments from our friends and family on how awesome Paul was. He helped to make our getting married that much more special.
