Pat was sensational, kind, and easy to work with!

Pat was a huge highlight for our wedding day. Many guests of our wedding were sure to compliment how lovely Pat's words were during our ceremony, and we completely agree. She wrote a ceremony that was the perfect mix between heartfelt and funny. We highly recommend using Pat for your wedding! Thank you, Pat, for making our big day stress free and fun! Your words are in our memories and hearts forever !

Great Experience

Pat was very flexible in working with us when our wedding plans changed due to COVID-19 including altering the day, time, and location we had previously agreed upon. The words she wrote for our ceremony were wonderful and added immensely to our special day.

Beautiful ceremony

Pat gave such a personal and beautiful ceremony for our wedding. People commented on it all night, asking how we found her, and if we had known her before. They were shocked to know we found her online! We wanted a super quick ceremony, and she delivered! Plus she had a beautiful blessing of the hands that had all three of my brothers crying their eyes out in the front row. And she included our dog in the ceremony.

A Pleasure

Ms. Pat,

Was so extraordinary to work with, she acknowledged who we were, she allowed us to be ourselves and her remarkable words left us only wanting more. Ms. Pat is lovely to work with, she laid the ground work for a great marriage with her blessing of the hands, were a special touch also.

To my LGBTQ Sisters and brothers, Ms. Pat, is inclusive.

Lovely lady with beautiful words

Pat’s words were very beautiful and did a ceremony that was exactly how I dreamed of it going. She was very flexible and easy to stay in touch with. She ensured that everything went smoothly and that we were both comfortable ( including my husband who has limited English).

Pat is Wonderful

I so enjoyed working with Pat for my wedding. My partner and I knew that we wanted a Celtic hand fasting ceremony to honor his Scottish heritage, so i set out looking for officiants who were familiar with the practice. Pat stood out as soon as i started talking to her. She was kind, informative, to the point, and very familiar with the hand fasting ceremony. She was comfortable with making the ceremony religious, secular, or somewhere in between, depending on what suited our needs. Overall, a joy to work with and I definitely recommend her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
