    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.

    Weddings In The Wild's reply:

    Thank you Sandi! It was my pleasure. The honor of meeting your families and performing your marriage was wonderful. And such a cool wedding date: 123-123 (12/31/23). The day was gorgeous and I'm glad you all had fun. Thanks for including me.

    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!

    Weddings In The Wild's reply:

    Thank you so much Brianna! It was wonderful to meet the two of you and so much fun to take those photo's. Truly, it was an honor to be you officiant. Thank you! Best wishes for a wonderful life together.

    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.

    Weddings In The Wild's reply:

    Oh Holly! Thank you so much. Working with the two of you was wonderful and it was a joy to help you make your vision a reality. It was a real pleasure to meet your guests and it makes me so happy that the two of you had such a beautiful wedding day. Thank you for the honor of being your officiant. Best wishes for a wonderful life together!

    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.

    Weddings In The Wild's reply:

    Thank you very much, Robin. Your kind words mean the world to me. It was an honor to help the two of you create the wedding of your dreams. Thank you! Best wishes for a wonderful life together.

    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.

    Weddings In The Wild's reply:

    Thank you so much Tina! I am so glad that your trip was so smooth and that everything turned out perfectly. It was wonderful to meet the two of you and an honor to perform your ceremony. Thank you. Best wishes for a wonderful life together!

    Spirit driven deliverance

    We were very pleased with Paul's Deliverance of all of what he said and flexibility was super impressive due to it was hard to coordinate with my partner and I. I just can't speak highly enough of Paul's natural gifts and he is in the right industry for his services

    Could not have picked a better officiant for our wedding!

    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!

    Weddings In The Wild's reply:

    Thank you so much for your feedback, Samantha! It makes me so happy that your day turned out as perfectly as you wanted. Thank you for the honor. Meeting the two of you was wonderful and I wish you all the best.

    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!

    Weddings In The Wild's reply:

    Amy! I am blushing, thank you so much. That your dream turned into reality, truly makes me happy. It was an honor to officiate your marriage and a pleasure to meet the two of you. Thank you. Best wishes for a wonderful life together.

    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.

    Weddings In The Wild's reply:

    Thank you, Jess. I appreciate your kind words. It was wonderful to meet the two of you, see you around town. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have officiated your wedding.

    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.

    Weddings In The Wild's reply:

    A personal touch in the wide-open wilderness

    Paul's energy and kindness, his thoughtful and personal ceremony, and his genuine joy at sharing our celebration added so much to the experience of eloping in a beautiful, otherwise deserted redwood grove. Additionally, his familiarity with the area and personal relationships with other vendors helped streamline the planning process and created an air of friendship that included my partner and myself. I highly recommend his services; you will not meet a more caring, careful officiant.

    Paul was instrumental in making our day magical

    My partner and I travelled from Australia and Japan to be married in the Redwoods, and Paul was instrumental in making our day magical. We were arranging the wedding from afar during uncertain covid times, and couldn't have done it without him.

    Paul understood what we were looking for and what was important to us. He was generous, reassuring, professional, and accommodating, recommending sites, accommodation, local photographers, places to get tuxedos and regularly checking in to see if we needed anything. He was even flexible on the date as we kept watch on the weather forecast!

    Thank you Paul, it meant a lot and we wish you the very best!

    Weddings In The Wild's reply:

    It was fun to help you plan and truly an honor to officiate for the two of you, Jacinta. Thank you! I'm glad that everything came together in an amazing and unforgettable experience.

    Custom heartfelt ceremony

    Paul is an amazing officiant. From the moment my husband and I reached out to him he made us feel at ease. He walked us through every step of our big day and took so much stress off our plates.
