So grateful to have found Pat

Cannot begin to relay how wonderful Pat was officiating our marriage ceremony.

We wanted a simple, short and sweet elopement ceremony.

From the start she was extremely responsive.

She was very thorough, thoughtful and respectful of our wishes. She genuinely investigated what our wants needs and expectations were.

As we did not live in New Mexico, she thoroughly explained how the marriage process and license worked as well as how to navigate through the court house etc.

The ceremony was exactly what we wanted. She composed a meaningful, beautiful heart felt message that we will always remember and cherish.

We also so appreciated that she was able to provide witnesses for an additional, reasonable fee. (New Mexico requires 2 witnesses).

We could go on and on with compliments about Pat but most importantly she made this one of the most wonderful, memorable days in our lives and cannot recommend her enough!

Pat officiated at our wedding in May 2022. She brought to the proceedings a strong sense of professionalism and also a fine sense of humor so often necessary to make the ceremony a success. We are glad we found her. Elli F & Jesse A

High praise for StoryCatcherPat!

High praise for Pat Murphy! May and I could not have had a better ceremony celebrating our remarriage. We were so lucky to have Pat, who with thoughtfulness and kindness made our special day perfect. Pat composed the words of our ceremony
especially for us. Their tone fit just how May and I felt about each other and what we looked forward to going forward into the future together. Also Pat gave us a beautiful venue. She welcomed us to her gracious home where the patio made for a
wonderful setting for our marriage.
Pat had two of her friends, Joel and Lou, be our witnesses and they were great.
I must say that anyone getting married would be hard pressed to find anyone better then Pat at StoryCatcherPat.
Thanks Pat. May and Guido.

We could not have been happier with Pat as our officiant! She was well-organized, attentive, and so very patient as we arranged our wedding without too much lead-time. She was also creative in suggesting ideas for the ceremony, and great fun, which really sealed the deal. We highly recommend her!

We were so incredibly pleased with the service that Pat wrote for us. We had a very small destination wedding, and her script WAS the ceremony. Because there was no music, religious ceremony, procession, or many of the other traditional parts of a wedding ceremony, we wanted someone who could craft more of a story than just a simple exchange of vows. Pat worked with us to build a 12 minute script that talked about our past, and what we want for the future. In short, it was perfect. Our guests were thrilled with it as well.

I would like couples to know that my husband and I could not be happier with our choice to work with Pat for our wedding. I searched online to find candidates to perform our ceremony in Santa Fe, NM and initially chose to contact her because of her previous reviews from other couples. She lived up to her reviews and her method of delivery is absolutely brilliant. In order to experience the best results, I recommend taking the time to answer her questionnaire thoroughly. That way she can make your ceremony very customized and focused on your story as a couple. In the end, the true test of her work was how our mother's reacted and the day of the wedding, there wasn't enough tissue to wipe the tears of happiness they cried LOL! I highly recommend Pat for any wedding. She is amazing, flexible, and easy to work with.

Pat was simply outstanding in helping us prepare everything, the location, the ceremony, the vows, pictures, pricing, etc. She put together an exceptional ceremony with a script she created from our own words/lives. We would recommend her and her team any day, for any type of service you can think up. Sweet woman, with only kind words and wisdom. Thank you PAT!
