    Highly Recommend

    In April 2024, my partner and I were fortunate enough to have Paul officiate our wedding ceremony in the enchanting redwoods near Eureka, CA. The experience was nothing short of magical, thanks to both the breathtaking scenery and Paul's exceptional service.

    The redwoods near Eureka provided a stunning, natural backdrop for our wedding. Towering trees, some over a thousand years old, created a serene and majestic environment that felt almost otherworldly. The gentle rustling of leaves and the dappled sunlight filtering through the dense canopy added a touch of enchantment to the entire ceremony. The beauty of the location was truly awe-inspiring and made our special day feel like a fairytale.

    From the moment we first contacted Paul, he exuded professionalism and a genuine passion for his role as an officiant. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our love story and what we envisioned for our ceremony. His attention to detail and willingness to personalize the service made the ceremony uniquely ours.

    Paul's respectfulness was evident throughout the entire process. He was always punctual, responsive to our questions, and accommodating to our requests, especially with our 2-year-old son attending. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early to ensure everything was set up perfectly and to ease any last-minute nerves we might have had.

    In conclusion, Paul was an exceptional wedding officiant who played a pivotal role in making our wedding day perfect. His professionalism, respectfulness, and genuine warmth added immeasurably to the beauty of our ceremony. We are eternally grateful to him for helping us create such a memorable and magical experience. If you are looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is everything you've dreamed of, we highly recommend Paul.

    Very accommodating

    I wanted to get married without planning anything, and there was just enough people in attendance to make it kind of chaotic. Paul rolled with the punches and was very accommodating of our lack of a plan, which is somewhat remarkable. It was a great service, and Paul did a great job.

    We cannot say enough good things about Paul

    Seriously Paul was amazing. I cannot say enough good things about him. We were a little nervous using an officiant from across the country but he blew us away. His vows were absolutely perfect and it instantly felt like we knew him for years. He was even willing to indulge us by wearing a Michael Myers mask for some funny photos of our Halloween elopement. We are so grateful for Paul and blessed to have had him as a part of our special day that we will never forget!

    Kind and compassionate.

    Paul is a very kind and compassionate human being, who was very generous and gave his time to perform our redwoods wedding. He was very patient with us, and helped us to create beautiful memories. Everyone at our wedding loved him and so do we! His service brought a smile to our face, we wouldn’t be married without him and that means so much to us. Paul is incredibly professional, and such a wonderful person.

    Redwoods Elopement

    Paul could not have personalized the wedding ceremony any more beautiful than he did. Our ceremony sounded like Paul had known us our whole lives. He grasped the important details of our lives that made this special day even more magical. Paul also went out of his way to help me with things that he did not have too. Thank you for everything, Paul.

    Paul is wonderful!

    Contacted Paul after undertaking an extensive research from the UK for a wedding in the Redwoods. From the start, he was responsive, helpful and amiable. Very professional service with a personal touch. Paul put us both at ease during the whole process and when arriving at the location. Even though this was the first physical meeting between us, we felt completely comfortable in his presence. The ceremony was magical and the wedding couldn't have been better. Thank you Paul for making our day extra special.

    Look no further, Paul is the best!

    Paul was our officiant for our elopement out in the redwoods. We had purchased his concierge package which gave us access to so many helpful links through his website. If we had any questions about the licensing, permits, other possible vendors, etc. it was all answered through the links in the concierge package. Paul was also available to us through email if there were any questions that we had. It helped make our planning a lot less stressful!

    We are big nature lovers, and after a meeting through Zoom, he had wrote us the most beautiful ceremony! It was truly perfect, I am still so amazed. We wanted a traditional vow ceremony but we also wanted to include a Celtic hand-fasting as well. Paul was able to include that for us no problem! There was never any judgment at all. He listened to all of our wants and totally exceeded our expectations! He truly made our elopement a perfect day and we are so happy that we chose Paul as our officiant!

    A Ceremony Under the Redwoods

    Paul was a wonderful officiant for our elopement in the Redwoods. He walked us through every step of the process and wrote a beautiful ceremony customized to our story and setting. Paul is a lovely human, and he did everything in his power to make our wedding day magical.

    We Love Paul!

    Paul is the absolute sweetest, it was such a pleasure having him officiate our elopement ceremony. We are from Southern California and wanted to get married amongst the towering redwoods of Humboldt County. Even though we had never been to the area, Paul made it easy on us. He collaborated with our planner and photographer to pick a location so all we had to do was show up! We also didn’t want a first look, so he made sure that happened as well. He made us feel comfortable and at ease, and I love how he incorporated the landscape and surrounding nature into our ceremony. Afterwards, Paul took care of all of the filing and paperwork. When getting our marriage license from the courthouse, they asked who our officiant was and when we told them Paul Marsh, they said “oh great, he always does it right!” Overall, he is the absolute kindest human and we highly recommend!

    A beautiful day, we can’t recommend Paul highly enough

    We had a wonderful experience with Paul. We had quite a last minute elopement that he happily accommodated and he was very available to chat and help us plan. He really took all stress out of the situation and made it exactly right for us. We got married in the gorgeous redwood forest and felt like best friends with Paul from the moment we met.
    We can’t recommend Weddings in the Wild highly enough.

    Beautiful Ceremony speech

    Paul was very lovely and attentive. He walked a good amount with us into the woods and helped us find the perfect spot to get married. His speech tied together my husband’s and I love for each other and the nature. He made our special day very lovely. He was also quick to submit the paperwork to the court. Highly recommend his services

    Paul was a wedding saver!

    Our officiant got Covid two days before the wedding, and Paul was a down right blessing, being able to do it on short notice. He was able to add us into his already heavy schedule, and did the job with the utmost respect, and professionalism. Thank you so much, Paul!

    Oregon elopement

    Paul is absolutely amazing! He is very responsive and helpful through the entire planning process. He made it so stress free for me which is what I needed. I traveled from Kentucky to Brookings Oregon to get eloped! My husband and I were able to FaceTime with Paul so he could get to know us better. Overall an amazing experience.

    Could not ask for a better officiant

    Paul is an amazing human being. He takes time to learn about the couple so he can personalize the ceremony and make it the most special. He is so wise and writes a great ceremony! We did a destination wedding and he loaded us up with all the information we needed about California and explained all the legal mumbo jumbo. He's a joy to be around and makes something potentially stressful so happy and fun. He also is just there to help if you need him. He offered to help with writing vowels and he proof read both mine and my husband's which I really appreciated! Paul Marsh is the BEST.
