  Paula is soooooo great! She was very easy to communicate with and would periodically check in with us leading up to our wedding. She was super helpful with putting together our ceremony and so responsive. On the day of our wedding she brought such warm, magical, joyful energy and at the same time she was a polished professional. This was especially wonderful since we had an intimate elopement/ceremony. She even helped us get a witness for the day - her sweet daughter. We also got married on Mt. Rainier and she was right at home tromping through the woods with us. We would highly recommend Paula in a heart beat especially if you need someone who can work outside the box and can be at home doing an elopement in the middle of the wilderness.

  Spiritual Matters's reply:

  What a lovely couple to work with. Katherine and Andy were stunning in the beautiful environment of Mt Rainier. They were thoughtful with the essence of the ceremony and I could feel the love between them. They were also very relaxed and in the moment. Katherine and Andy thank you sincerely for allowing me to share in such an intimate moment in your lives. I will remember it with a warmth in my heart for many years.

  Without hesitation, my wife and I recommend Paula as an exceptional wedding officiant. To start, Paula is an incredibly kind, considerate, and thoughtful individual. She was careful to give my wife and me the space to make decisions about the kind of ceremony we wanted, and simultaneously used her experience conducting wedding ceremonies to help design the ceremony that was best for us. Paula was amazingly present before and on our wedding day, which made our experience all the more magical. So grateful to her!

  Pastor Paula offered us an incredibly beautiful outdoor ceremony space or during inclement weather, she has an equally beautiful indoor space. Our ceremony felt personal & spoke to our relationship. Pastor Paula understood my nervousness & joy about being married for the first time.
  We both felt very comfortable with her both making our arrangements & during our ceremony. I highly recommend Pastor Paula. She will make your special day memorable, beautiful and personal.

  My chosen wedding date in Mt Rainier National Park just happened to coincide with the first real heavy snowfall of the season thus closing off the major arterial road that led to my chosen site. No cell phone service made it impossible to communicate with my officiant, Paula Revilla, about an alternate plan. Lucky for me, Paula was an ANGEL on my path! She went well out of her way, even driving a couple of hours to where she 'thought' she would find me, just to try and make my marriage possible. It was her dedication and 'THIS WILL HAPPEN" outlook that made my marriage take place. She took care of all the small and very last minute details like talking with the staff at Paradise Inn Lodge about using their balcony as our marriage platform and arranging the sweeping up of all the snow before the ceremony as I was overjoyed and changing back into my dress. There aren't enough words to express the magic and beauty of how the day unfolded. Paula is extremely kind, thoughtful, gracious, large-hearted and profound in her ways and her words. She addressed the ceremony so beautifully. She truly believes in love. I give my highest recommendations of Paula Revilla.

  When I first telephoned Paula, I was more than just impressed by her professionalism and passion for marrying my same-sex partner of nearly eight years, Ramon. It was only momentarily that I realized she was the one to officiate our very special day. Paula was very helpful throughout the planning process, and helped with everything along the way. The procession was held at her lovely home outside in Graham and witnessed also by her husband, daughter and two lovely dogs. Nothing could have prepared us for "how" Paula proceeded with the procession. The energy and spirit that Paula conveyed during the procession flooded Ramon, myself and our friends and family with an emotion we will never forget. We are certain that our path's with Paula (and her family) will cross once again when we renew our vows and/or when we refer her to our friends and family. We definitely were blessed by Paula. Thank you so much!!!

  I wholeheartedly agree with all other reviews. Paula was awesome! She has a very kind nature and is very warm and welcoming. We are from out of state and wanted a memorable ceremony at Mt. Rainier. She was so helpful every step of the way. I couldn't have pulled it together without her!

  Paula is wonderful to work with. She is understanding and supportive every step of the way. She will help you make your ceremony your own. If my new husband and I had it to do over again we would still choose Paula again, and again. She made our wedding day as perfect as we had imagined!

  I'm seriously getting choked up and teary just re-living this right now..
  
  Paula was referred to my Husband and I after my friend ranted and raved about her and how unforgettable and amazing she made their wedding.
  
  Of course we wanted that too! I knew that with just talking to Paula through email that she was going to be "The One".
  
  We offical met Paula at a Starbucks that was near closing time-- Ususally, when a place is closing you leave and make a time to meet again.. But Paula suggested that we move the conversation to the Fred Meyer near by to continue. :)
  
  A lot of people take for granted who will be their Officant, but you need to remember that when you and your soon to be are standing up front and all eyes are on you, that the only persons voice you hear is the Officants..
  
  Do you want to remember the words that were spoken? Do you care if its personal? Do you want others to leave feeling like the officant made them feel welcomed and happy to be there to be part of the best day of your lives?
  
  Let me tell you..SO many things went wrong that day that the only thing I honestly can say I wanted to rememebr was how AMAZING Paula was.(Aside from marrying the man of my dreams, of course!) I could share multiple stories, but one stands out-- Our chair coveres were a WRECK. about 20 out of the 120 of them were stained, torn or unusable. Paula, (remember she has no obligation to do this, no obligation to even consider it) but Paula OFFERED to drive 45 minutes to meet the lady we rented the covers from to exchange them for new ones. She offered before we could even think of a solution. Not only did she offer out of the kindness in her heart, but she offered because she knows how special this day is and nothing should distract or take away from it. She practically imbedded it into my head that when Im standing at that altar, nothing should be in my mind except the man standing in front of me.
  
  Most, if not all people dont bother to make that connection with their officiant.. But I knew that when I met her for the first time that she cared. She wanted to feel involved in our lives and she wanted to make our wedding day the best it could be. Ive never known an Officant to take the time outside of their lives to meet and greet, learn and involve themselves into every detail possible.
  
  Paula helped calm my nerves BIG time- She was more than reasuring and so sweet. Her and I still talk to this day which to me is just awesome.
  
  I HIGHLY recommend Paula to everyone who wants their Wedding to be unforgetable. I even had people after my reception asking me for her name because when they get married, that want her too. :)
  
  Thank you Paula! You are God sent and have enriched Nick's and my own life drastically. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
  
  (Sorry this was a lengthy one!)

  I would recommend Paula to everyone I know! She really helped make our ceremony the best ever! She was very helpful in coming up with the wording and had a plethora of resources for us. I loved how warm and charismatic she was and how she was able to come up with a ceremony that fit our needs and beliefs right on. She is truly amazing!

  I knew upon our first meeting that Paula was the person I wanted to marry us. She had such an ease about her, my fiance and I were able to tell her our story and really felt like she was listening.
  Paula was willing to work with us on creating a ceremony that truly spoke to us and wasn't just a run of the mill ceremony. She worked with us on the wording of the ceremony and to incorporate a mini ceremony within the ceremony; for us it was including the 13 coin Filipino ceremony.
  
  I sent Paula A LOT of emails, especially as we neared the wedding day. She was always responsive and understanding of my sometimes incessant emails.
  
  We received a lot of compliments about our officiant. Everyone loved that she took her time to speak every word, it was never rushed. She also is able to project her voice, our ceremony took place outdoors with no microphones so that was very important.
  
  I would highly recommend Paula to any and all brides out there.
