    Made our Day so Easy!

    We cannot recommend Patrick enough if you are looking for an officiant! He is very personable and great at making an situation stress-free and easy. We spoke with Patrick over email and the phone several time before meeting in person which we greatly appreciated since we booked him a year in advance. Once it came time to meet in person, we created our entire ceremony in just one hour! The process was a breeze and even fun! Our ceremony ended up being perfectly us and exactly what we wanted out of our big day. Patrick made everyone laugh at our rehearsal and made sure everyone felt comfortable with their roles and anything they had to say for the day of. We loved working with Patrick to create such a special moment for our wedding and we know you will too!

    I can't say enough great things about Patrick! Not only did he officiate our wedding, he also provided a check list on how to go about changing my last name. I would have been lost without it. You're in great hands with Patrick.

    Dr. 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!

    Rev. Maloy did a fantastic job at our wedding. Everything was smooth and professional. He's genuine and compassionate and I would recommend him to anyone. My wife and I couldn't be happier with our decision to have Rev. Maloy be a part of our special day, he made us feel at ease and left us with no regrets.

    Patrick was amazing. When we had to look last minute for someone to officiate our wedding, he was MORE than accommodating. He was great. Thank you for making our day so special!

    I feel so lucky to have found Patrick! We went to his website and started watching his video and instantly my mom said "we need him!!" She was right (of course) and once I chatted with him on the phone I knew he would be the perfect officiant for our day. We aren't super-religious so it was nice to have an array of ceremony options to choose from. Patrick had everything from very modern (little religion) to very traditional ceremonies AND you could mix and match (which is what I did) and I absolutely loved it. We got several compliments from guests and bridal party members on how fabulous our officiant was! He even made me laugh during the ceremony (in a good way) and handed me a handkerchief after I got a little bit emotional. He was so professional, funny, thoughtful and kind that our day went absolutely seamlessly. I'm amazed at how calm I was, and I know Patrick played a major part in that. Thank you!!

    We couldn't possibly say enough nice things about our experience with Dr. Maloy and we consider ourselves very lucky to have chosen him to be our officiant at our recent wedding. We felt Dr. Maloy was a wonderful bridge between our varying faith backgrounds and that we had complete creative control over the process of developing our ceremony, while also being able to rely on his guidance. Our friends and family loved our ceremony and so did we!

    Patrick was terrific!! We met with him a few weeks before the day of our wedding to go through the ceremony and pick out various readings and talk about timing and such for the wedding. He was hilarious. He took the time to go through all of our choices and asked us questions about us as individuals and as a couple to make sure he knew who he was marrying. At the rehearsal and the wedding itself he kept everything light and made us feel like “calm blue water”, and had us feeling relaxed so if anything did pop up it would all work out. We highly recommend him and really enjoyed working with him.

    Patrick was integral to making our wedding a complete success. His mentality of "calm blue waters" made us feel at ease. Constantly a professional, we knew we could count on him to successfully play his role, but at the same time he worked with us to make the experience our own. We truly felt that he was as excited for our wedding as we were.

    Dr. Patrick Maloy was such an amazing officiant for our wedding! His calmness and knowledge in coordinating the process, the paperwork, and helping us design a ceremony that would best represent us was fantastic. I would recommend anyone in the Charlotte area hire him for his expertise, ability to help you find your "calm blue waters" and his sense of humor throughout the process. We were so glad to have him on our special day!

    We 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.

    Perfect day made better by Rev. Patrick

    Rev. Patrick was extremely friendly and helpful when it came to running our rehearsal while making himself available to us whenever we had any questions. He was very prepared and did a fantastic job. My wife and I would recommend him to anyone who wants relieve some stress from their happy day.

    Patrick was phenomenal! The consummate professional that took charge and guided was calmly through the rehearsal and ceremony. The ceremony was absolutely lovely. We can't say enough kind things about him! I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a minister.

    We had a nondenominational wedding at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens and Patrick was our officiant.

    Long story short, we were extremely happy to have him as our officiant. He's flexible, funny, and professional. As someone who specializes in non-denominational weddings, he has experience working with people of any background. You can tailor your ceremony any way you wish. That kind of flexibility is rare.

    Overall, we highly recommend his services if you want a perfect ceremony! Thanks Patrick!

    We love Patrick Maloy!

    We have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Patrick Maloy! He made our ceremony so easy and worry free. He was able to customize the ceremony to exactly how we wanted it in terms of what readings and prayers we wanted and how we wanted everything to play out on the day. We had met with him a few weeks before the wedding to go over details and he helped us with every last detail and question that we had. Patrick had taken care of everything to the point where all we had to do was “just show up on time and I’ll help you through the rest”. We both felt very at-ease throughout the whole experience. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who is interested.

    I am not certain we have the words to adequately express what it meant to us to have Patrick be part of our wedding, but we will give it a shot. From the first phone conversation with Patrick it was immediately clear that he was the perfect choice to be our officiant. He not only guided us through the process but he reassured us each step of the way. His suggestions, guidance, calm demeanor and ultimately his friendship were all priceless additions to our big day. My wife and I could not be happier that we chose Patrick as our officiant and can't imagine what our wedding would have been like without him.

    Where 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! ❤️

    Dr. Maloy wants his brides to be "calm blue water" on their special day. With the help of him and his wife Dottie, our day went off without a hitch. I cannot recommend them highly enough - he helped us plan a service that was truly us.

    Highly Recommend!

    My husband and I LOVED working with Patrick and are so glad he officiated our wedding! He was extremely processional throughout the whole process and did a great job explaining how the rehearsal, ceremony and name changing process would work. He helped us put together the perfect ceremony for our wedding. Also, he truly did make us feel extremely comfortable and relaxed while standing at the alter. We would recommend Patrick to any couple!

    I can't say enough good things about Dr. Maloy. He listened to us and planned the perfect ceremony for my husband and I. He even reminded me to breathe when the wedding jitters struck during the ceremony. Working with the Maloys was one of the best decisions we made. We are so grateful to him for everything. Dr. Maloy is one of the main reasons everything was as special as it was. Even though he is in high demand, he made us feel like we were the only couple he was working with. He is an amazing person and we were honored to have him lead us into life as man and wife.

    Amazing 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.

    Patrick did such a fantastic job. My husband and I met with him a month or so before the wedding to go over all the details. We personalized a few details to make the ceremony a little bit more of "our own". I would highly recommend!

    Dottie 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

    We absolutely LOVED having Patrick Maloy as our officiant!!! After we met up with him for the first time to go over details and figure out if he is a good match for us, we knew right away that he was! He has a really good sense of humor, very kind, professional, calming, and willing to help wherever he can. We had the best time just talking to him. He gave us all of the information that we needed to know to make our wedding magical and seamless. He presented us with all of our options on how we wanted our ceremony and let us decide what we wanted and how we wanted it. He never pushed anything on us, not even his services. If you are looking for an officiant in the area, I HIGHLY recommend him!!!
