Weddings By Paully is a wedding officiant based in Salinas, California.
Welcome to Weddings by Paully, where timeless love stories find their perfect beginnings! I'm Paul Richards, affectionately known as Paully, and I bring over 30 years of pastoral experience to the art of officiating weddings. Having dedicated my life to spreading love and joy, Weddings by Paully is the culmination of my passion for uniting souls in matrimony.
As a retired pastor with a wealth of experience and a marriage spanning nearly four decades, I understand the profound significance of this momentous occasion. Officiating weddings and providing pre-marital counseling has been a cherished part of my journey, leading to the creation of Weddings by Paully.
At Weddings by Paully, I specialize in crafting personalized wedding ceremonies that truly encapsulate the unique love story shared by each couple. I believe that your wedding ceremony should be a reflection of your individuality, making it an unforgettable and deeply meaningful experience for both you and your guests.
Beyond the ceremony itself, I offer pre-marital counseling because I recognize that laying a strong foundation is paramount to a successful and enduring marriage. Drawing upon my certification and training as a facilitator of Saving Your Marriage Before it Starts pre-marital education, I am here to guide you on the path to a flourishing and harmonious life together.
My creativity extends beyond the pulpit as I am a self-proclaimed romantic, surprising my own wife with imaginative theme nights and nostalgic gifts. It is this passion for love and commitment that I bring to each ceremony, infusing it with warmth, sincerity, and a touch of magic.
Congratulations, happy couple! Let Weddings by Paully be the orchestrator of your love story, turning your wedding day into an enchanting and cherished memory that will last a lifetime. Together, let's embark on this beautiful journey towards a love that stands the test of time.
