We hired Patrick about a year before our wedding; April 2023. I had a phone conversation with him first, and we talked for a while and I throughly enjoyed our entire conversation. He made me laugh and his mantra that he wants all his brides to be “Calm blue water” was felt the entire planning process with Patrick.

My fiancé and I didn’t want an overly religious ceremony, but keep some aspects in to appease my mom. And he had the perfect created ceremony for this. When my fiancé and I met with Patrick shortly before our wedding in person, he had us choose a few different options to make it more ourselves than seeming like two complete strangers on our wedding day. It seemed like Patrick was a family friend by how great he was to work with, keeping everyone laughing and overall calm and in the moment.

I can’t express my recommendation to hire Patrick enough! The rehearsal day was included in his price, and we’d use him a million more times if we needed.

Rev. Maloy made our ceremony beyond beautiful. He met up with us beforehand and helped us pick our vows and readings. He also gave me a list of items that need to be done in order to complete my name change!

We cannot recommend Patrick enough if you are looking for an officiant! He is very personable and great at making an situation stress-free and easy. We spoke with Patrick over email and the phone several time before meeting in person which we greatly appreciated since we booked him a year in advance. Once it came time to meet in person, we created our entire ceremony in just one hour! The process was a breeze and even fun! Our ceremony ended up being perfectly us and exactly what we wanted out of our big day. Patrick made everyone laugh at our rehearsal and made sure everyone felt comfortable with their roles and anything they had to say for the day of. We loved working with Patrick to create such a special moment for our wedding and we know you will too!
