Perfectly Captured Our Day and Story

We hired Patrick after seeing him do such a great job for a friend of ours. The man does not disappoint! After spending some time with us and getting our story down, he crafted our ceremony into something that was beautiful and unique to us. He's a natural storyteller and showman, but takes his duties quite seriously, making sure the sacredness of the day and moment rings over all in attendance. We loved having him as our officiant and would discourage you from hiring anyone over him ... he's the best.

Patrick is the best officiant HANDS DOWN!

Patrick was our officiant at our wedding last summer 2022 and was absolutely perfect. Patrick knows exactly how to capture an audience and tell your story like no other. Patrick’s event planning skills really showed as he took us through his process and was so helpful during the rehearsal and the big day. My wife and I we able to tell our full story to him without feeling self conscious and he laughed along with us. Patrick crafted a perfect Eulogy that our family and friends really enjoyed. He was also dependable, very organized and makes you feel completely comfortable. Patrick brightness any room he steps into and I’ve sure he will be the perfect officiant for your wedding as well.

Incredible

As the groom I was assigned very few serious tasks however one of the biggest was to find a great officiant. I came across Patrick’s info and was both impressed and excited at what I had read about him. From the very beginning he made the entire process fun and carefree. He took the time to meet with my fiancé and I for as long as we needed and was meticulous in his research and his planning to put together the perfect speech and routine. He was funny, charming and really was the hit of the wedding. Patrick has a huge heart and I couldn’t give him a more enthusiastic recommendation for anyone who wants a first class officiant. You will not be disappointed in hiring him and I am so glad we had the opportunity to work with him.

Amazing!!!

Let me start by saying Patrick was nothing short of amazing on our special day. Before our big day Patrick came to our home and sat down with us and got to know our love story. He was very casual and automatically became like we were speaking with a friend. On our wedding day he showed up nice and relaxed and made us rest assured everything was going to go as planned. He sprinkled in humor to our ceremony but not so much it was cheesy. All of our guests loved the approach he took to our ceremony. We would highly recommend him to any of our friends or family in the future. He’s very stress free and has a great spirit and positive attitude. We can’t say this enough, thank you Patrick.

Patrick came to our rescue!

Our original officiant couldn't make it to our wedding. Patrick came to our rescue only two weeks before the big day. It goes without saying that he was incredibly flexible, dependable, and professional. Patrick was the best! It only took one conversation for him to really understand who we are and prepare a great speech for our ceremony, it really goes to show you his great level of experience. I would 100% to officiate any wedding.

We had a blast!

We didn’t really know what we wanted for our ceremony, just that we wanted it at the end of a dock and for our pup to make an appearance. That being said, I’m also kind of a perfectionist so Patrick had his work cut out for him. Planning the ceremony with Patrick was a blast, and we couldn’t have loved the final product more! Patrick is such an easy going guy and he took the time to learn our love story. He also incorporated our last minute changes seamlessly! Our ceremony was intimate, personal and so much fun! We would recommend Patrick 100%

Patrick was a fantastic presence and a consummate professional at my wedding in June. In our meetings leading up to the big day he took time to carefully listen to my wife and I’s journey from beginning to where we are now and in turn wrote such a wonderful homily that completely made the ceremony. He handled every part of the process with such genuine care and empathy that by the end of the whole experience I gained a life long friend. I will never forget my big day and how Patrick made the whole experience seamless and completely stress free. I will be forever grateful for his talents as an officiant and his endearing warmth as a friend.

We were kinda bummed bc we didn’t t know of anyone that could marry us like all the other couples do these days ! Patrick married us at the Oviatt penthouse in los angeles and it was just so magical more than what I had hoped for . Patrick made everyone in the audience feel like he had known my husband and I for years !!!! Everyone loved him !!! We loved him !! we Have gone to other weddings before and the ceremonies were nothing like Patrick’s ! He’s funny kind and very amicable such as awesome all around guy . He was able to work with us very flexible when setting up our meetings . We spoke for over an hour and all my husband and I did was talk about our love ! He really wanted to know our love story so that when he stood in front of our loved ones he could project that lovestory to them . It’s an art and Patrick has mastered it . If you’re looking for an officiant look no further you’re in Excellent hands worth every penny !

Patrick was great! He made us feel very comfortable as we spent a few hours with him the night before the wedding, getting to know our story. He tailored the ceremony for us, even making revisions minutes before the ceremony. He was very professional and flexible, while providing the right amount if humor and sincerity to our amazing wedding day. We were very pleased. Thanks again, Patrick.

As a harpist, I watch a lot of people get married. Sometimes the officiants make or break the wedding. The first time I saw Patrick do a wedding, I knew he was born to do this. He's wonderful and caters to each couple. He is easy going but professional, and makes each wedding extremely touching without being sappy. If you are looking for an officiant, take it from someone who sees almost a wedding a week! He's your man!
