Paula was a wonderful addition to our wedding day. She worked so well with us in the lead up to the day, was very responsive, and made our service exactly how we wanted it.

Working with Paula was such a great experience! She was very responsive to our needs and helped provide great insights. She is a very calming presence and helped us brainstorm a ceremony that was heartfelt and unique to us as a couple. She took time to get to know us and was also willing to reach out to friends/family to get better insights. We would highly recommend working with Paula! -Brandon and Caitlyn

We are so happy we had Paula as our officiant! From first meeting with Paula, to reviewing the ceremony script and picking the vows, Paula made the process so easy and stress free! While we had a few mic issues (to no fault of Paula) she did not get flustered or skip a beat which we really appreciated! The ceremony and reading were so perfect, we couldn't imagine having anyone else officiate our wedding. Thank you Paula!

Paula’s guidance through our ceremony was more perfect than we could have imagined. Tailored to our preferences and edited thoughtfully, Paula was able to create the heartfelt script that has led us into a new beginning. I would absolutely recommend Paula to any friend or family in pursuit of a wedding officiant. I can’t imagine anyone else accepting the honor.

Paula was wonderful and easy to work with! She did an amazing job and the ceremony was perfect!

It’s your day. It’s going to be one of the most special, memorable days of your life, and it should be exactly what you want it to be. Do you want something traditional, or something non-traditional, or something in between? Do you want your ceremony to be very religious, totally non-religious, or maybe semi-religious? There are essentially no requirements or rules, only what matters most to the two of you. (And at some point you do need to say “I do”!) Your ceremony should celebrate exactly who you are, and should mark the beginning of your marriage in a heartfelt and authentic way.

You’ve chosen to make a promise, in the presence of the people who matter most to you, to walk the rest of your days with one another. Let’s work together to create a ceremony that celebrates exactly who you are, and that creates a memory that you will cherish forever. Couples who’ve worked with me have told me that what they’ve liked best about the experience is that I really listen to them and then together we write a ceremony that reflects exactly what they want for their wedding day.  And if you’ve chosen to ask a loved one who’s never performed a wedding before to be your officiant, check out my ceremony writing assistance service under the coaching tab.

About The Owner

I became ordained as a Wedding Minister in New Mexico for my daughter’s wedding, and discovered that I loved it. I have since worked with many couples and have found that I love every part of the process; getting to know them and learning what they’re looking for, writing and refining the script for the ceremony, and my favorite part of all, having the honor of being part of the wedding day. Who doesn’t love a wedding? In my former life I spent decades working as a manager for a major airline. (If you need travel advice, I just might be your resource for that too!) I’m now retired from the airline, and enjoying hiking, reading, cooking, volunteer work in the community, traveling, and the biggest thrill of my life, babysitting for my new grandbaby.

If you’re not sure yet about what you’re looking for, that’s just fine. That’s exactly what I’m here for. Ready to meet and plan a beautiful and meaningful ceremony?

What My Clients Are Saying

We met with Paula on Saturday to get to know her at our house and she asked for my number and email to send me some scripts and songs for our wedding, she worked very well with us and we would recommend her to anyone.

Paula provided us with an outstanding experience. She helped us with our vows, ring ceremony, and a customized script. She worked with us daily through the process and gave us the perfect wedding.

Paula was great, she worked with us to create the perfect script for our ceremony, was extremely personable and very professional. I will be recommending her to all my friends and family when they are getting ready to tie the knot, she was amazing!

Paula really took her time and constructed a ceremony that really reflected our character and our wishes. She was punctual, professional and fun. Highly recommend.

Paula was so great to work with.  She met with us and we discussed what we were wanting.  We showed her a blessing and some vows we had found that we liked.  She wrote the perfect script for our wedding.  Absolutely what we wanted.  Our wedding will be the perfect start for our new life as husband and wife.

Paula was so sweet and made our day very special!  We are so thankful to have had her as our Officiant on our most special day!  Thank you again for a perfect ceremony!

Very happy with Paula.  She arrived early, we talked and worked out all the details.  I’m visually impaired and she had no problem accommodating our needs.  Very impressed and pleased with the results.

Wonderful and amazing!

Paula was great!  I told her exactly what I wanted to be said and she was able to fulfill my needs.  She was always communicating with me throughout the days leading up to the wedding.  She was on time for my wedding and had also double checked that everything was in order and that we didn’t need to go over anything else.  Paula made my wedding turn out perfect and I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married.  If I could give her more than 5 stars I definitely would!

We had a backyard Halloween wedding.  Great to work with.  She is very responsive and detailed.

Paula is absolutely lovely.  She listened to our story and then wove it into the ceremony.  We both highly recommend her.  I feel like we gained a new friend.
