    Energetic officiant!

    Pauline was an amazing officiant for our wedding! She gave us several vow template ideas for our ceremony and we were able to pull different pieces from each one and she created beautiful vows! She was a clear choice for us because of her energetic, fun-loving personality. We would recommend Pauline to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

    Thank you Pauline for putting up wth our laziness related to your service. We didn't help you very much at all, but you made our ceremony feel well thought out and beautiful anyway :)

    Absolutely perfect

    Pauline was amazing!!! On time, did exactly what she said she would for our 20th anniversary/renewal of our vows, and her price was more than reasonable. If she’s still in business in ten more years, we will have her do our 30th. Thank you again Pauline. You made our day special.

    Such a wonderful officiant!

    Pauline was such a great officiant! After one conversation with her I felt like I had been long-time friends with her. She has a great sense of humor about little things (like the best man getting football alerts during the rehearsal ceremony!) and made us feel at ease.

    Absolutely amazing

    We had quite a few changes happen day of the wedding and she was able to work around all of them. As well as that she was just an absolute joy to work with, she helped so much with the rehersal as our coordinator canceled on us last second. Absolutely amazing and would definitely recommend to anyone/everyone i know.

    Officiant Pauline Downey's reply:

    Thank you so much!
    You guys are the ones that remained calm and rolled with all the changes that day! 😊
    Wishing you and Tim all the best! Thanks again!

    Perfect Service

    Pauline was so great from when we called her to when we were walking down the aisle after our vows. She is very thorough with her questions on what you want to do, not only with the vows but the order of walking down the aisle and everything.

    Such Fun and Made sure we were both breathing!

    Pauline was awesome! We did a phone interview thing thanks the 2020 plague but even after the phone call I was comfortable booking her. She gave us a few readings to select from after we had told her we're not religious and we were able to select one that fit us perfectly. When we were all allowed to leave our homes again, we did a meet and greet to go over the details. The day of she did a quick rehearsal with us that was more to relieve our nerves than anything. Even during the ceremony, she was helping us relax and lightening the atmosphere which is what we needed. She was even okay with our non-traditional, trex costume ring boy ( i think this is posted on her facebook page). I'm so happy we went with her!!!

    Always Does an Excellent Job!

    I am a full-time, professional DJ and get the pleasure of working with Pauline often. Not only does she do a fantastic job during the ceremony, but she's always has such great energy and truly cares about the couples she works with. I highly recommend reaching out to Pauline!

    Thank you so much! It’s always a pleasure working with you too, Eric! You’re a class act and that makes this review all the more special to me! Thanks again!

    Excellent Service! Pauline is the best

    In true 2020 fashion, we rescheduled our traditional wedding 3 different times. When we decided to elope with just immediately family, Pauline came to our rescue! She was friendly, personable, incredibly supportive and flexible, and an absolute angel to make our day special!

    Such a great experience!

    Pauline was fantastic to work with. We initially met with her to talk and knew right away she was going to be a great officiant for our wedding. She was extremely easy to get ahold of when I had questions and worked well with all of our vendors. I would recommend Pauline in a heartbeat!
