The best!!
There are not enough wonderful things to be said about Patrick. He just brings an energy to the room that is confident and calm. He is a true professional and knows what he is doing. I think every guest I spoke to commented on how amazing our officiant was. Our wedding party loved him too! He wrote our ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful and tailored exactly how we wanted it. He is so thoughtful and sweet, he made sure I was calm blue water through the whole process!! He is the best in the business and I would recommend him to anyone! -

Brian Sent on 11/09/2024Great officiant for weddings!
Patrick was excellent to work with as the officiant for our wedding. He was very communicative, always on time, and prepared for every next step (and even 2 ahead)! He provided example ceremonies to help us build our perfect ceremony, and was very flexible on our wedding. We really enjoyed working with Patrick! -

We are SO happy we connected with Patrick during the wedding planning process. He was so kind, informative and caring during the planning of our Ceremony. He was truly incredible during our Rehearsal and Wedding Day and we could not imagine having any one else. From the second we spoke to him he gave us a sense of calm throughout the chaotic wedding planning process. He truly cared about making our day special and it felt like we had known him for years.
I highly recommend anyone looking for an officiant to reach out to Patrick because you will be so glad to have him. He goes above and beyond and everyone at our Wedding said how wonderful our Ceremony was and that truly is thanks to Patrick.
We spoke to several officiants that just didn't feel right and/or were telling us how we had to do it. Patrick from day 1 continued to emphasize that our ceremony should be special and reflect us as a couple. He worked through planning with us and ensuring we were the focus of the day.
He also helped with guidance on obtaining our marriage license in addition to name change after the wedding.
I cannot put into words truly how remarkable he is, but I am SOOO happy he was with us for our wedding!
Thank you for everything Patrick!! -

Sara Sent on 04/27/2024Hire Patrick and you will not be disappointed!
We hired Patrick about a year before our wedding; April 2023. I had a phone conversation with him first, and we talked for a while and I throughly enjoyed our entire conversation. He made me laugh and his mantra that he wants all his brides to be “Calm blue water” was felt the entire planning process with Patrick.
My fiancé and I didn’t want an overly religious ceremony, but keep some aspects in to appease my mom. And he had the perfect created ceremony for this. When my fiancé and I met with Patrick shortly before our wedding in person, he had us choose a few different options to make it more ourselves than seeming like two complete strangers on our wedding day. It seemed like Patrick was a family friend by how great he was to work with, keeping everyone laughing and overall calm and in the moment.
I can’t express my recommendation to hire Patrick enough! The rehearsal day was included in his price, and we’d use him a million more times if we needed. -

Rev. Maloy made our ceremony beyond beautiful. He met up with us beforehand and helped us pick our vows and readings. He also gave me a list of items that need to be done in order to complete my name change! -

Patrick is absolutely wonderful! Despite not having not met us before the rehearsal, Patrick made us feel incredibly special. Like seeing an old friend. Highly recommend Patrick for all your officiating needs -

Jennifer Sent on 12/05/2021Calm Blue Water perfectly captures Patrick's essence!
We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Patrick for our wedding. He and Dottie operate under the brand 'Calm Blue Water' as that is what they want their brides to feel like on their wedding day - and that is exactly how I felt! Patrick's presence is warm, comforting, genuine and calming and we truly felt at ease on our wedding day with him leading our ceremony. He was extremely easy to work with when creating our ceremony 'script' - gave us tons of recommendations and guidance but was careful to let us craft the ceremony that truly reflected our relationship. He delivered a ceremony that was moving and personal while keeping the mood light and fun - exactly what we wanted. Cannot recommend Patrick highly enough - he was one of the best decisions we made! -

Kyle Sent on 11/03/2021Amazing Officiant
Patrick did an amazing job for our wedding! He met with us prior to the big day to make sure we had the ceremony planned exactly how we wanted, and he was very helpful with suggestions for important parts of the event. During the ceremony, he kept everyone laughing and filled with the spirit of love. Many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever seen! We would agree! Thank you to Patrick for a wedding we will always remember. -

Jessica Sent on 08/19/2021Rev. Patrick is the BEST!!!!
I am so thankful for Rev. Patrick Malloy, and could not imagine my wedding ceremony with out him being a part of it. I met Patrick when I used to coordinate weddings for a venue in Charlotte, and always loved his partnership. When I suggested him as our officiant my now-husband, he supported it without meeting him, but after his first encounter knew exactly why I wanted him and was so thankful for his involvement as well. Patrick has such a calming presence, and truly does make his couples feel like "calm blue water" as his motto goes! He is sincere, humorous, and so completely engaging in his presentation. He assured us that, no matter what, he was there for us and that he would take care of anything if something unexpected were to arise. He found ways to infuse humor and joy within the ceremony, and I'll be forever thankful that he was our officiant. Our venue ended up being 4 hours away from Charlotte, which I knew was a big ask, but he made the trip there and back in the same day to be a part of our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant, and truly know that our wedding would not be the same without him. -

Jessica Sent on 11/11/2020So thankful to have found Dr. Maloy!
My husband and I are so thankful to have found Dr. Maloy! He was amazing to work with from our very first phone call through the day of the wedding and was there to offer his assistance and guidance every step of the way. He is so easy to get along with and we loved his sense of humor. Since we do not come from a religious background, we were nervous about choosing an officiant and not having a family pastor or someone to turn to and, since we've never been married, really had no idea what we were doing. He helped us create beautiful vows that were still personal to us (we did not want to write our own) and beautifully officiated our ceremony. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you, Dr. Maloy! -

Sarah Sent on 11/07/2020Dottie Maloy- day of coordinator
We didn't have Rev. Maloy, but we did use his wife, Dottie as our day of coordinator and she was wonderful! so helpful, prompt, and professional. We couldn't have done it without her, we would whole heartedly recommend her to all of our friends! She's so kind, and helpful, I didn't have to worry about any of the timeline stress, she handled it all -

Patrick is the best!! A true professional, Patrick was calm, knowledgeable, and patient while assisting us with: designing and coordinating the service, paperwork, logistics etc. Highly recommend Patrick for his expertise, ability to help you find your "calm blue waters" and his sense of humor throughout the process. Thank you, Patrick! -

Katie Sent on 03/29/2019Patrick is wonderful!
We found Patrick through one of our friends who had been married by him, and I will always be indebted to her for sending Patrick my way. He is warm, smart and experienced, and has a wicked sense of humor; he and my husband bonded over their love of "dad jokes." Patrick made our ceremony feel personal and special and always made us feel so at ease every time we spoke or met with him. It was very important to me that we had a non-religious ceremony and Patrick was so accommodating; he even wore a (beautifully dapper) regular suit instead of his robe. All of my family and friends commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was. In addition to that, he also went above and beyond to help us with the marriage process in general; he explained to us how to apply for our marriage licence and then gave us an idiot-proof, step by step guide on how to change my last name. I will never be able to truly express my appreciation for Patrick, but I can guarantee you won't find a better officiant anywhere else. -

Karli Sent on 01/30/2019Look no further! Patrick is amazing!
We decided to plan a wedding in a couple of week's time and we were referred to Patrick by our close friend. I had heard such wonderful things, I had my fingers crossed that he would be available. I received a return call from Patrick within a couple of hours of having reached out to him! He had me in stitches laughing within minutes! Patrick was incredibly kind, supportive, humorous, and flexible! He made the planning of the ceremony completely stress free!! He was always available when we had a quick question (via email or the phone). He has lots of great checklists and guides to help ensure you don't miss anything! (He literally can help with any part of the planning process if needed!) We feel very blessed to have found and been married by Patrick! He is the exact type of person we had dreamed of! Our ceremony was the perfect blend of us and he made it truly special helping us with ideas. I would highly recommend Patrick! Look no further, he's the one! -

Mary Sent on 12/03/2018Flexible and organized and made for a beautiful ceremony!
From the first time we met Patrick, we could tell he was a seasoned pro. He met with us, made the ceremony building process so simple, and allowed us to have the wedding we'd always wanted. He catered to our every want, while at the same time remaining structured and organized so everything went perfect at our rehearsal and ceremony. He was willing to build a ceremony that was as religious or secular as we wanted.
He was so kind, knowledgeable, and made us feel like we had known him for years and years. I can't recommend him enough! -
Christina Sent on 12/18/2017We could not have asked for a better wedding officiant for our special day. From the first email interaction with Patrick, it was easy and professional which made picking him so easy! When my husband and I had our meeting with him, it was like we were all good family friends forever. We would laugh and talk about all things and Patrick was so easy to work with. We were not sure on some of the traditional elements of the ceremony timeline and Patrick reassured us this was our day and we could do whatever we wanted. Our ceremony was 100% authentic and us! He answers all questions and gives great advice! He even helps you with some of the pains of changing your name! We are so blessed to have him as a person we know and couldn't be happier that he blessed our marriage. He is the one to "Say Yes" to! Thank you Patrick - for everything!

Janelle Sent on 11/19/2017Where do I begin? From the first time we met Patrick at Starbucks we knew he was the one that we would love to have as our officiant! He was so professional and funny that he made us feel very comfortable right from the start. We had 1 million questions and he was there to answer every single one. Our ceremony was beautiful and even though it did rain he was so accommodating and loving towards my husband and I. I look forward to sharing more memories in the future with Patrick! Thank you for everything! Future brides and grooms..he is the one! ❤️

Gladys Sent on 05/31/2016Rev. Patrick officiated our wedding ceremony, and what a beautiful ceremony it was! From our first meeting with him, my husband and I knew we made the right choice! Rev. Patrick's warm personality gave us this calming effect that was so important as we planned one of the biggest days of our lives. He was extremely helpful in planning the different aspects of our wedding ceremony. He listened to our ideas about what we would like to include, and he made great suggestions as well. With his guidance, my husband and I wrote our wedding vows -- unique and meaningful to us. Rev. Patrick considered the vows the heart of the ceremony -- we couldn't agree more! Thank you for such a wonderful, touching ceremony we will forever cherish! -

Sabrina Sent on 11/02/2014Patrick was amazing to work with. He came highly recommended by several people and he was kind enough to work with our budget, so I knew we had to go with him.
During our first visit, he made me and my husband very comfortable with going through the process of deciding on our vows. He's been doing this a long time and it shows. he has a great personality and is wonderful to work with.
During our ceremony, he checked in to make sure I was ok and not nervous. Even during the ceremony, he checked on both of us to ensure that we were breathing and not going to faint. haha!
We had several guests who commented on the great ceremony he performed. I would highly recommend him!

Desiree Sent on 08/15/2013We are so happy we hired Patrick to officiate our wedding ceremony! Not only was he professional and responsive in a timely manner, he also has a great personality and is so easy to get along with. We found that it was easy for us to open up to him and talk to him. He customizes your ceremony exactly the way you want it and he wrote us a beautiful ceremony. He was available when we needed something and came to the rehearsal for no additional charge. -

Alyn Sent on 07/26/2013Dr. Maloy made our wedding day absolutely perfect. He lightened up both our planning meeting and our rehearsal, making light of what could be arduous. He created an absolutely perfect and meaningful ceremony with all of our input considered and utilized. He also helped by facilitating the documents needed for our license and name change. Dr. Maloy was referred to us as the "best in the area" and I couldn't agree more!
