She officiated our wedding this past March at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. She made the process of crafting a ceremony feel easy. She was very flexible and supportive of our ideas and suggestions and we're very happy with how everything turned out.
I especially appreciated Pamela's professionalism at the rehearsal; it's clear she has a lot of experience doing this. She was able to cut through the chaos of the lead up to our wedding and get everyone focused on learning their part in the ceremony. I felt very reassured that she knew what she was doing - which is a great feeling when you're standing in front of everyone getting married!
5/5, great experience. Thanks, Pam!
Rites of Celebration's reply:
Thank you for selecting me as your officiant. Your wedding was of course beautiful, surrounded by the magic of the Garden but the elements you included made it even more memorable. The beautiful harp music you arranged, including your first dance and toast within the ceremonial setting were very special. Best wishes for a long and happy marriage.

An Amazing Officiant!
Pam is such a wonderful officiant! My husband and I spoke with her over the phone when choosing officiants and knew right away she was the one for us! Her combination of wit and sincerity won us over, and she provided us with many ideas to help us shape our ceremony in a way that felt authentic for us. She was easy to reach via email and by phone during the planning process, and offered lots of good advice for choosing our vows and braiding our handfasting cord. It was important to us include our parents in our ceremony and we wanted to keep our “repeat-after-me” vows simple. Pam was able to bring all our ideas together into a ceremony that was sweet and silly (just like us) and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. Her love of marrying couples is so sweet and she’s a joy to be around. Her guidance through the entire process was essential and we can’t imagine a more perfect day.

Pam-To-The-Rescue!
I woke up on the day of our micro ceremony freaking out. It turns out that my husband, who is not from the US, had booked a time slot at the courthouse for us to get the marriage license, not to actually be married by a judge. I frantically called and texted wedding officiants around the Phoenix area. From the moment Pam answered my call she put me at ease. She was calm, flexible and understanding. She even spent time with me and my bridegroom separately to counsel and comfort us since we were overwhelmed. I can’t recommend Pam enough! She is the sweet, gentle, grounding energy everyone needs at their wedding. Mazel tov!

Made Our Wedding Truly Special!
Pam was absolutely wonderful during the planning process and the wedding itself! She helped calm all my fears when my wedding got turned upside down just 2 days before it happened! My husband and I ended up having to change venues and Pam didn't even bat an eye! She made sure we were comfortable with everything said during our ceremony, and was so inclusive of our family and friends! The pictures she took were beautiful and looked incredibly professional!
She helped the Gothic wedding of mine and my husband's dreams come together in a most spectacular way, and even brought a gothic mask to fit in with the theme! I would happily reccomend Pam as your minister for any event, and wish to extend my deepest gratitude on behalf of me and my husband! Thank you Pam!

Thank you. I was so impressed with the venue you had to find quickly after learning that your original was suddenly no longer available. It was beautiful and your wedding attire was perfect especially in that setting.
It’s always special when I’m invited to do ceremony on Halloween and your wedding will remain a wonderful memory.

Beautiful last minute celebration
We decided to get married on short notice. Pam was so timely and helpful! She helped answer questions, guide us through the process, offered suggestions, and calmed nerves. She was incredibly budget friendly and made the experience soooo positive. We are beyond happy. Thank you Pam!!
Rites of Celebration's reply:
It was my pleasure. I loved your creative solution for a location at your parents’ 55+ community and for two book lovers to have their vows exchanged surrounded by books was a plus. It felt like you were by love and wisdom. Including your fur babies in your sand timeline ceremony was very special too. You two are perfect together.

Pam is the absolute best. She helped my wife and I execute our ceremony during the moon rise and even stopped to let everyone view. We love Pam and will definitely keep her in our lives

Thank you for inviting me to be your officiant. It was a beautiful wedding in all ways and the full moon was exceptional. The two of you were supported with the love of a wonderful gathering of friends and family and I’m sure your marriage will be amazing.

Pamela Radiated Positive Energy
This was my first marriage at 50. I never realized the barriers we would face as our plans fell apart last year. Our license was going to expire but thankfully we found Pamela. It was spontaneous, thrown together, last minute. From the moment my frazzled nervous self opened the door to meet her, I felt a wave of comfort, peace. The ceremony was sweet, sincere, and to the point. I really felt that she cared about our long term relationship health. I highly recommend Pamela for any type of wedding. She has a beautiful , kind , accepting free spirit vibe.
Rites of Celebration's reply:
I just realized I hadn’t responded to this lovely review. Thank you for letting me witness the two of you celebrating the love you’ve worked so hard to create and protect. I wish you many beautiful years of partnership and love.

Thank you Pam!!
Pam was the perfect wedding officiant for our special day! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable, and her warm, inclusive, and LGBT-friendly approach meant so much to us. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, celebrating our unique love story and ensuring the ceremony reflected our values, personalities, and vision.
Pam’s professionalism was exceptional, but it was her genuine kindness and openness that truly stood out. She made sure every detail was perfect, and her words during the ceremony were heartfelt and meaningful. She created an atmosphere of love and acceptance, which made our wedding day even more magical.
We highly recommend Pam to any couple, especially those looking for an officiant who values and supports the LGBTQ+ community. Her presence made our ceremony unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to celebrate our love. Thank you, Pam!

Our wedding
Pam was awesome, everyone said she did an excellent job conducting the wedding. She was very personable, accommodated my wife’s and I needs. I was nervous and Pam made it seem easy and gave us the comfortability that was needed. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Pam for making our day exceptionally special and very meaningful !!!
Rites of Celebration's reply:
I know that many may not think about the blessings that come to an officiant who gets to witness the joining of two lives, but I really do feel honored when I'm allowed to be with couples on their wedding day. Thank you for selecting me and including me with the reception that followed. I do believe that your friends and family were absolutely thrilled with your news.

We had a great experience with Pamela as our officiant. I would highly recommend her services.
Rites of Celebration's reply:
Thank you for letting me be your officiant at the Desert Botanical Gardens. I love that they allow for small ceremonies in such a beautiful location without the large expense of booking a formal space. Your setting was so pretty, the weather was amazing for summer and even the witness we drafted was thrilled to be a part of your special day. I know you went ahead with a beautiful, large wedding back home and I'm sure it was equally fantastic. I do hope more couples know that it is totally fine to have a smaller wedding that gets the paperwork done and then have the larger formal event with family and friends that may have not been available for the informal event. You can even celebrate two anniversaries!

Just what we needed
Pamela is very professional ! We had a tieing of the knot /commitment ceremony. NOT A WEDDING. She helped so much came to rehearsal ceremony taught us everything and helped us with nerves. I loved are ceremony we picked from some vows. Got special cords for knotting tieing literally. Each cord color meant something to me and my partner. If you want not traditional ceremony or wedding something more special go with Pamela.💜
Rites of Celebration's reply:
I love commitment ceremonies. No one has to sign legal papers to declare their love and dedication to each other. Your ceremony using a handfasting was beautiful and I really appreciate your letting me be your officiant!

We chose Pam to officiant our small, intimate household ceremony and it was perfect! She took the time to learn about us and our children, she provided suggestions, and tailored a beautiful ceremony specific to our needs. She facilitated a peaceful, calm, and comforting environment for our family.
Rites of Celebration's reply:
Surrounded by your family (and dog), your small wedding was special. I know that you went on to have a larger ceremony outside the country and having the paperwork filed here was important and allowed you to enjoy that magical beach ceremony. Thank you for allowing me to be your officiant.

We could not have wished for anyone better!
Pam married us in 2018 and from the very first meeting she listened to our plans and also suggested a 'hand-fasting' ceremony which we loved. Our wedding bands were gold and turquoise and our outfits black and she came dressed to compliment (but not overshadow) the whole look. We were so touched by this thoughtfulness. She also greeted our guest and led them to the garden seating and explained the flow of the ceremony. With a big smile and a warm heart Pam was integral in making our day stress-free and simply joyous and we love looking back at the photos and memories she made all the more special.
Rites of Celebration's reply:
Thank you so much, it was a very special day for me too. Watching the two of you merge your lives and your spiritual selves was amazing. I know that your relationship continues to grow and it blesses all that you serve.

The absolute BEST!
We have had Rite of Celebration perform a Celebration of Life, a Christening (gonna do 2 more later this year), and 3 weddings within the family (my own being one)! Hands down the best service I've had and I highly recommend!
Rites of Celebration's reply:
It has been my pleasure to be a part of your family ceremonies. It is sad that a Celebration of Life was needed this year, but she was a beautiful being that I was privileged to know through this family connection and was actually the first bride in this lineage. It is truly an honor to walk through these life events with you and yours.

Best Day Ever
We recently had the pleasure of having Pam officiate our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From our first meeting, she took the time to get to know us, listening to our story and understanding our vision for the ceremony.
Pam crafted a personalized and heartfelt ceremony that truly reflected our love and values. Her warm demeanor and professionalism put us at ease, and the entire process felt seamless. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was, and we couldn't agree more.
We highly recommend Pam to anyone looking for a dedicated and talented officiant. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

Pam saved our wedding day!
After a mishap at the courthouse, my family made a call to Pam. On a whim, within an hour, Pam was performing our spontaneous and sudden handfasting ceremony. It was beautiful and she literally saved our day and I cannot thank her enough. My husband and I owe her for it!
Rites of Celebration's reply:
We definitely set a turnaround record in my book but it was a pleasure being able to do the ceremony for the two of you. You both looked amazing and the obvious love and devotion you have for each other showed. I'm glad we were able to turn it into a special day.

Pamela was the perfect officiant for our ceremony!
We feel beyond blessed that Pamela officiated our ceremony. We met with her twice online and shared information about ourselves as individuals and as a couple. She asked insightful questions that helped her tailor our ceremony. The day of the ceremony Pamela arrived early so we could meet and talk in person. She is the perfect combination of warm, personable & professional. She calmed the anxious bride and shared beautiful thoughts about relationships with both of us. Pamela gently guided us and our family/friends through the different parts of the ceremony. She was perfectly poised and kept the mood light & beautiful throughout. We count Pamela among our blessings on our wedding day. We are so grateful we found her! ❤️
Rites of Celebration's reply:
It was a beautiful day and a beautiful setting and my absolute pleasure to help you share your vows. The amount of love and dedication between the two of you was amazing to witness. You were totally surrounded by love (and amazing music!) Thanks for choosing me.

Perfect Officiant !
Pam made our entire wedding vow renewal just perfect!! She is a wonderful person with passion and skill for being an officiant. She gave us so many ideas and was flexible with everything we wanted in the ceremony ad our location. The hand fasting was such a special, magical part of our ceremony. We will forever remember it with our ribbons hanging in our home. Pam’s price was the best we found. And the most amazing part was that Pam took wonderful pictures after in a way that a professional photographer would. We can’t thank Pam enough for our pictures and giving us the perfect ceremony.

Great officiant
Pam was great to work with! We discussed our vision with her a few months prior to the wedding ceremony and she had some great ideas to help us make our wedding ceremony unique to us. Pam was super responsive in all our communications and very easy to work with. Pam officiated our beautiful wedding ceremony and it was perfect! We received so many compliments on the ceremony. Pam also took the time to take some great pictures of our wedding day so we would have a few pictures while waiting for our wedding photos. We would highly recommend Pam if you are looking for an officiant for your special day.
Rites of Celebration's reply:
Thank you for letting me be your officiant. Your venue and wedding setting was gorgeous. I was thrilled that Truly (dog in cute wedding gear) could be your ringbearer and share the ceremony with you. Your unique shot unity ceremony was extra special. Thank you and best wishes.

Blessed with Rain
They say rain on a wedding day makes the knot harder to untie. That made our handfasting ceremony that Pamela created for us just that much more special!💓
Through the whole process Pam was communicating and interested to know how she could make the ceremony fit us and our needs. We had family members of more conservative faiths attending and wanted our loved ones to feel welcome in the ceremony and not put-off by the actual ritual and ceremonies of the wedding.
She did an amazing job! We were so honored to see all of the guests turning when the directions were called, INCLUDING our conservative family members and even the DJ! It was a first time that most of our guests and wedding party had been to a handfasting, including myself and my husband. Pamela made it a truly welcoming and beautiful lifetime experience.
After the I do's Pamela finished our ceremony with a family binding ritual for us with our daughter. She now has a momento in her honor from the wedding day that we can frame with our wedding knot. She was kind enough to stay for the reception dinner and also took some photos for us so we had some the next day!
She has been the kindest and most thoughtful person to have as our officiant and I will recommend her to anyone who wants their ceremony to be as meaningful to the officiant as it is to the couple. She was sincere and heartfelt when speaking to her and really made the day perfect.
Thank you again, Pam!! We were so lucky to have found you for our Handfasting. 💕

Outstanding officiant
Pam was amazing. She personalized our script, helped us in our writing, had long conversations over the phone and offered genuine advice and interest.
She took what she learned of us and wove it into the script. She put our religious preferences in the speech while keeping in mind the beliefs of our guests.
She had some good humor points and took care to include our children in a sweet way.
She came dressed well and with a smile.
Pam also was a great sport as we had her include over 5 non-traditional elements and adapted at the last minute with verbiage and party changes.
Pam had a few experiences before ours with unexpected unfortunate events where couples lost photos or things of meaning during or after the wedding. So she made sure to go out of her way to capture some behind the scenes moments just in case so we'd have at least a few strong photos to remember if we too had any unfortunate happenings.
Lastly, my husband's parents had been quietly married only a month before us, so she performed a small moment for them as well. It was so kind of a gesture that I didn't even find out about until the next day.
Hugging her after the ceremony felt like family. My husband said as we left that he felt "as if he'd known her for 20 years, she was so comforting". She was so relaxed and comforting and reassuring.
I hope you enjoyed our traditional scottish wedding handfasting!

It was an honor to be your officiant and to personalize your ceremony to reflect the two of you. Each element added to the love and dedication that was easily felt between you. And I learned a couple new Scottish traditions and words!

Simple but Perfect
We were looking for a simple, small ceremony with our witnesses and us. Pam did an excellent job of making that simple ceremony so meaningful. She is a very genuine woman that communicates the meaning of marriage so well. It was a wonderful and memorable experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

She was a support system I didn’t know I needed and she made my beautiful day more magical than I ever imagined!
She did everything we asked and more. She drove 2 hours up to Prescott to officiate our wedding. She scheduled phone calls with us to make sure we were on the same page. She was helpful every step of the way and wasn’t pushy about getting our vows on time and made sure we got exactly the type of ceremony we wanted. She rolled with our punches and made the ceremony comfortable and beautiful. Our families went on about how beautiful our ceremony was. She did a combination of Christian ceremony and a Celtic hand fasting and it was beautiful! We also had a family joining ceremony that included my new stepson and it meant the world to us. She took pictures so we could get nice pictures of our marriage the next day so I could have some to post (I included some to show off) ☺️. She made my special day more magical than I ever dreamed! Thank you Pam!

The Pretty’s
Pam what exactly who and what we were looking for when it came to our wedding. She helped us to create an intimate and meaningful ceremony that captured the essence of our relationship. She took the time to get to know who we are as individuals, and most importantly as a couple. Pam ingratiated herself with our guests as if she’d know them for years. We have the upmost respect and appreciate for her professionalism and willingness to walk us through the legal process. Our location was a bit further out of the Phoenix metro area, we were so grateful she was happy to accommodate without any hesitation. We consider ourselves blessed to have had Pam be the person that started our journey as husband and wife.

Made my wedding ceremony extra special!!
I can not say enough wonderful things about Pam! She responded very quickly to our request to have her marry my husband and I. I loved all of the unconventional ceremonial things she adds into the ceremony. She included not only our children into the ceremony, but also our parents. She is so sweet and down to earth. I was a bit nervous before the ceremony but she did a great job at reassuring me that everything would be fine. It was as a pleasure having Pam be our marriage officiant! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else do a better job.
Rites of Celebration's reply:
Thank you. It was my pleasure and I loved having your ceremony on 2/22/22 at 2:22! Having your children as a part of the celebration was extra special and the day cooperated so nicely for the lakeside ceremony.

Amazing Lesbian Wedding
Pam Schuler was amazing to work with and made our simple ideas more than special. Pam’s kindness and loving care really helped to make the day magically. She found ways to include our family, which added a joining we didn’t think about.
Thanks for making our day more than we could ask for Pam.

The weather made a threat of rain but it didn’t happen. Nothing happened to make your handfasting wedding anything less than magical. I’m sure folks here would love to see the beautiful cord you had made for the binding (please attach a picture).
I was thrilled to be your officiant and being able to make this ceremony sacred ( and comfortable to your non-pagan friends and family) felt like an added blessing to your relationship and future Thank you for selecting me.

Wonderful experience
My husband an I had the most wonderful experience with Pam, she not only helped with all the paper work and finding a location, but she took the time to get to know us both as people, and listened to both of our desires for how we wanted our big day to go. She was wonderfully flexible when helping us write our vows, even taking into account our word choices when there was a certain word or words we wanted to omit or add, and what kind of ceremony we wanted to do. All around we highly reccomend Pam, she helped make our wedding the most memorable day! She also took some AMAZING photos!!

Pam is amazing!
We got married 11 years ago just my husband and I. I had this vision of renewing our vows, but this time with our family there. The night before on August 10 I called Pam to see if she could help me make this vision of our renewing of our vows come true. Less than 24 hour notice and on August 11th on our 11 year anniversary she helped us make this vision come true. I can not thank her enough for making our day that much more meaningful and special. Thank you Pam.
Rites of Celebration's reply:
Thank you for letting be a part of this special celebration. It was so amazing to hear that your spirit animals appeared to bless your day and then to be gifted the wedding themed music from strangers across the lake was even more affirmation. Congratulations on making this beautiful day a reality and I wish for you many more years of marriage happiness and success.

Pam was able to schedule our ceremony on very short notice and gave us the most beautiful service I could have hope for! Pam brought the most important part of the service to life which was love. Everyone was so moved by the beautiful words and ceremony. I will remember this forever!
She helped us through every stage of planning once our marriage license was in our hands. We are so grateful to Pam and would recommend her for your most treasured events!

Fantastic!
Pam was the perfect fit for our wedding celebration. From the beginning of planning until after the ceremony was completed. She was more than willing to help suggest vendors, locations & any arrangements she could help with.
Being a destination wedding, we were able to sort everything out over email or phone prior too. A few days before the wedding we were finally able to meet in person. She brought fantastic energy & ideas for us to conclude all the final details.
Pam made all of our family & friends feel welcome & included. She knew exactly how to include my husbands son so he felt involved & well loved at the wedding.
The wedding ran almost an hour late & she never once made us feel badly about the situation. She kept everyone calm & took care of a few pictures while everyone waited. Every guest commented on how fantastic the ceremony was, how personal it was & how well Pam made everything fit so perfectly.
I would highly recommend Pam to anyone getting married in the area. She brings great energy & love to all those around her. Thank you very much Pam!

10/10 Would Recommend
Pam was so amazing and everyone loved her service. She not only gave a great speech, but was also very helpful throughout the entire process. My husband and I had no clue how to even go about planning a ceremony and she explained everything and even sent us examples of what we could do. On the day of, we had a change in plans and she was very accommodating. I would 10/10 recommend.

Great Service
Pamela did an amazing job at our wedding. She was warm, well spoken and respectful to everyone. Even though it was her birthday she still accommodated our wedding. She incorporated and acknowledged everyone in the wedding. We both received lots of complements from our guests after the event about her. We would highly recommend her.
Rites of Celebration's reply:
Thank you. I loved being a part of your wedding and love story. You picked a beautiful setting and were surrounded by such loving hearts. What a great start for a great marriage.

Captured the spirit perfectly
Pamela was simply amazing, responsive, worked with us at hyper speed, and despite many changes from us she captured the spirit of what we wanted perfectly. She truly cares about the importance of the ceremony for each partner and wove our wishes into it seamlessly blending traditional with unique.
Rites of Celebration's reply:
It was my pleasure to be able to be your officiant. And, I learned more about a couple of cultural elements that I had not worked with before, so it was fun and a learning experience.
Congratulations. I hope you have many happy years together.

Our desert Asatru Hand-Fasting on Beltane made beautiful!
Pam was absolutely incredible on our special day, we cannot say enough. She took the initiative of getting to know us by meeting up before hand and counseling us on the process, to being so open minded and willing to perform our Asatru themed hand-fasting ceremony! She took the time to learn the older Norse traditions that we wanted to incorporate and made it something so deeply special and beautiful. Pam also took it a step further and took so many fantastic pictures that turned out stunning! We will remember that day for the rest of our lives and we were blessed that she could be a part of it and turn it into something so ethereal. Highly recommend this officiant!
Rites of Celebration's reply:
Sharing your wedding in such a beautiful setting and with the family/cultural elements was truly wonderful for me. I felt powerful with the hammer of Thor (lol) but mainly because I felt the presence of such wonderful spirits joining in the blessing of your union. Congratulations.

Hands down, you want to have Pam officiate your wedding. Pam is so sweet and such a down to earth person. She's very super flexible to work with my schedule and help coordinate and work with the team of people. The wedding ceremony was for 70 guest and the ceremony was touching and beautiful. She helped my friends who were new at photographing weddings get some good photos. All around I'm so glad we hired her to officiate the wedding.

We hired Pam as the JOP for our December wedding and were so happy with how great everything turned out. Pam had offered some ideas when we met for or meet n' greet based on the questions she asked when getting to know us and they were so unique from the other weddings we'd been to before. We chose to do a unity sand ceremony that included our (bride and groom) mothers and our 18 month old. It was really very sweet! We also chose to do a Chrystal/Stone blessing where all of our guests chose a stone/Chrystal representing different energies that we wanted for our marriage. They held the stone and "charged" it with their blessings and energy throughout the ceremony. We had a small wedding so it was a great way for us to connect with our family and friends. Lastly, we chose a knot tying ceremony that included our son as well. The event was personal and thoughtful. I appreciated that Pam met with me beforehand to check in and see how I was doing. I was very happy that we chose Pam and all her wonderful suggestions!

Because my son surprised me I had less than 2 weeks to plan a wedding. Pam was amazing and help my son and his bride think through the wedding service and what was important to them. I was so thankful to Pam because I really didn't have time to think about it. It was easy to tell Pam really cared about the people and the process and did everything she could to make it special. I felt like Pam became a member of our family for the night and everyone in attendance was touched by her service. Very grateful to Pam and I would highly recommend her!

We decided at the very LAST moment to get married on the last day of our trip to Mesa, AZ. We called Pamela and then called her again to confirm we were able to get our license... very quick at the court house... This occurred at about 9am... Pamela came to my sister-in-law's house, completely prepared to give a wonderful and personal ceremony... She was friendly and professional... willing to really go all out for us... THANK YOU Pamela! If you need someone to marry you, call her!

We were looking for a wedding officiant who would be very flexible as we were going to have a spur of the moment wedding due to my health issues. Pamela was very professional, very sweet and kind and she really worked with us so that we were able to have the special spur of the moment wedding that we had wanted. She's very personable and soft spoken, and I'd highly recommend her for any wedding.
The only down side, if there is any, is that Pam is not very responsive to messages, and in fact we almost had to book someone else originally because she did not reply to emails. She responds better to phone calls, so if you're a computer person like I am, you will want to pick up the phone instead of emailing her.
Other then that, she's really great and made our day very special. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
Rites of Celebration's reply:
Ivy is correct in saying that it is good to be in contact via phone as well. As an officiant, I have three different services that send messages/emails and updates are not always quickly seen. Your wedding is an important day. I want to be a supportive part of it and hopefully make it less stressful. Please give me a call if I haven't responded quickly enough to your email or message.
