    Pat is the perfect Wedding Planner AND Officiant, all in one

    Working with Pat to plan our destination wedding on Captiva Island was easy and enjoyable. Besides all the pre-planning, she was on site the whole time to coordinate and help with all of the details. And, she was an amazing officiant. We worked together to merge her ideas and ours for the most beautiful vows and ceremony. Plus, her delivery was warm and beautiful. We are so glad we had Pat, and would highly recommend her.

    Pat is a true professional

    We had Pat Slater officiate our beach ceremony on Captiva Island in May 2022. She is widely known in the area for her professionalism and experience. As we live out of town, Pat facilitated all of our marriage license needs prior to our arrival and for that I could not be more grateful. The entire process was seamless and it allowed us to be calm and collected when we traveled to FL, rather than having to worry about appointments at the courthouse and running all over to get our documents in order.

    Pat was extremely responsive and prompt in communicating with us. She consistently got right back to me with answers to my questions or status updates on our marriage license. As for the ceremony, she will involve you in crafting it and ours was exceptional. Though both Catholic, we opted to marry on the beach instead of in church and Pat's words brought God into our wedding as well as meaningful advice and personal touches. Our parents were blown away. She made us both feel comfortable (it's not always easy being in the spotlight like that!) and it truly was exactly what I envisioned. I cannot say enough good things about Pat - she is the best choice and I couldn't have been happier to have worked with her.

    Pat Slater was my angel

    I had ONE WEEK to plan a beautiful, romantic elegant , intimate wedding. I found the home on the beach, now I just needed a florist to do a beautiful arch with flowers, the bouquet, wedding cake, photographer and an amazing caterer to serve hors d'oeuvres and an elegant sit down dinner. After emailing and calling people for the first 24 hours and either not getting a response or finding out that they were already booked, I looked up wedding planner. From the moment I heard Pat's voice on the phone, I knew she would be a pleasure to work with. And boy, was I right! From the second we hung up, Pat was on it! She found me everything that I needed and she found me THE BEST! It was wonderful not having to worry about one detail, because Pat was so on top of everything! She was immediately responsive to every one of my calls, and I was honestly able to relax before the wedding because I knew she would make sure it would all turn out well. And it did, it was PERFECT!
    Thank you Pat for everything! You are THE BEST!
