Paul was fantastic. He was professional, knew what questions to ask, sent the ceremony in advance for our review and had meetings to make sure it's what we wanted. He is overall a great guy that won't let you down!

Fall Perfection
Anyone who needs an officiant for their wedding Paul is the person for you. He made me and my wife’s elopement stress free, but still memorable. He was an effective communicator before the big day to make sure all details were exactly how we wanted. He went off the beaten path to get to the perfect spot for our ceremony in front of a waterfall. Don’t waste time shopping around for other officiants and hire Paul.
Paul Pakusch, Wedding Officiant's reply:
My wife tagged along with me and we enjoyed a beautiful walk to the waterfall for your perfect wedding setting!

The perfect ceremony!
Paul was great to work with! He went through everything with us beforehand and made sure we had the exact ceremony we wanted. He arrived to the wedding early and even gave us a copy of our wedding ceremony printed out as a keepsake! Several people asked if we knew him ahead of time because he was able to make our ceremony so personal. Highly recommended!
Paul Pakusch, Wedding Officiant's reply:
In spite of the rain, you had a lovely setting for your wedding! Or maybe even BECAUSE of the rain!

Wedding Day 2022!
Paul was excellent to work with on our wedding. We are from Texas and wanted a destination wedding in Niagara Falls, so Paul took great care of us. He even suggested a few spots around the Falls that we scouted out once we arrived and settled on a beautiful spot on Goat Island. The ceremony was perfect! Paul was so easy to work with, he made a few suggestions and left us alone to decide what we wanted. I recommend Paul to anyone planning a wedding in that area!
Paul Pakusch, Wedding Officiant's reply:
It was a real pleasure to work with both of you. The ceremony you chose truly reflects what is important to you in your marriage.

Paul was absolutely amazing as our officiant! :) We had one meeting before the wedding at a Dunkin Donuts. He made us both feel super comfortable, and went through the whole process with us patiently. We couldn't recommend him highly enough!

Perfect! Zero complaints!
From start to finish, our experience with Paul was great. First off, his price is extremely reasonable compared to a lot of others in the area. Second, Paul was very flexible throughout the process. Whether we met on Zoom or in person, it was a pleasure interacting with Paul in preparation for our big day. The best thing about Paul was his willingness to not only share examples of readings, prayers, rituals, etc, but how accommodating he was and how he allowed us to customize everything to our liking. That, along with the proactive communication was top notch. And in addition to all of that, he even mails the marriage license for you once it’s signed. Easy Peezy!

Beautiful Ceremony
Paul was very nice, flexible with meeting times and open to all our ideas. We worked well together coming up with the setup of our ceremony. He is great with the shorter service, and got everything done in a very timely manner. Such a great guy, and I love how affordable he was.
Paul Pakusch, Wedding Officiant's reply:

The most genuine officiant you could find!
We found Paul on WeddingWire and reached out. He got back to us right away and scheduled a meeting with us. We met and talked for a nice hour about us as a couple and what we wanted in our ceremony. Paul specializes in making the ceremony as unique to the couple as possible. For ours, we made our ceremony religious and about dogs! It was so perfect for us. He gave us copies of everything beforehand so we could review and review and review. During the ceremony, he knew exactly when to step aside for photos (something I never would have thought of). Everyone loved his words and the ceremony was heavenly. Paul is definitely the way to go for officiants!
Paul Pakusch, Wedding Officiant's reply:
Thank you. Your love of dogs gave me something very special to include in your ceremony! And I loved the location!

Paul officiated our wedding this July and we could not be happier. When I originally reached out to him he was responsive, explained in detail what the process would be, and stayed in communication leading up to our ceremony. He was willing to accommodate our requests and tailored the ceremony to fit our personal beliefs. After the ceremony he dropped off our marriage certificate in the mail (which was very helpful as you have a million other things to do). Would absolutely recommend!

Seamless! He is very organized and professional.
Choosing Paul was by far the easiest decision of the whole wedding planning process! He made it incredibly simple for us with options and packages laid out. We could mix and match to make the ceremony our own. He was even flexible with adding something completely new to make it what we wanted. We are so grateful that we chose Paul to marry us.

Paul did a great job officiating our wedding ceremony! My husband and I decided to elope (at 8AM!) and Paul was very accommodating and helpful. It was a really sweet and meaningful ceremony and we thought it was very special.

Rebecca, it was a very cold morning but the setting at Letchworth Park was stunning! We certainly had a "few" people watching from the sidelines. Enjoy many years of happiness together!

Paul was great to work with! He helped us come up with a ceremony that fit us perfectly.

The wedding of our dreams
Paul is truly an amazing officiant, he listened to exactly what my husband and I wanted and helped us make our dream a reality throughout the way. Covid threw us a lot of wrenches through the planning process and Paul was flexible and willing to continue to work with us to make our wedding dreams a reality ! His prices are amazing , and a rehearsal with him is worth the extra money as my wedding party felt confident in what to do on the big day ! Thank you again Paul you are amazing !
