I hired them back in 2024 for my wedding which unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the fact my fiancé had a bad medical emergency 2 months before. When I messaged Paul that I ...
had to cancel due to this reason all I got was a single sentance response and nothing else- "ok. Wishing a speedy recovery." That was it. For the situation I feel like it was very lacking, I was absolutely devestated and I got a one sentence response. On top of that, I had paid in full, not a deposit. Despite the fact that the full cost is due 30 days prior to the event, anything you paid them is immediately gone (I totally understand the deposit, I guess I learned my lesson about not paying in full immediately...) didn't even get any information on a possible rescheduling. Prior to that, communication had been pretty limited. Even though the event was 2 months away and had sent him what I wanted as far as vows I never got any drafts for anything.
I'm starting to replan our wedding now a year and a half after the emergency, but I will never forget how hurtful the situation was and how lacking and unempathetic this business was.
I used Paul as my wedding officiant back in 2023. He was awful. My husband and I pretty much wrote the script of what we wanted him to say so we felt good going into it that all w...
ould be fine. Well, day of he showed up late. He was supposed to arrive 30 minutes before the official ceremony start time which was 4:30pm. He showed up at 4:25pm made us rush through signing the papers and then ran out to the ceremony spot. He was dressed extremely casual with sneakers on. Then as he begins the ceremony he had his ipad and was reading from it but kept making mistakes. He called my husbands mother the wrong name, he said we worked at a department store together and that’s how we met (and what we wrote was that we met at work when we worked in the marketing dept together), he forgot the glass to stomp on do during the ceremony he told my step son to run to get it. It was an utter embarrassment. All of our guests came up to us after saying where did we find this guy. He wound up being the joke of the day but it’s sad because the officiating the marriage should be special. This guy is a joke. I don’t know how he gets so many great reviews.
Best Wedding Officiant was amazing to work with for our wedding! The process was simple and straightforward taking away a lot of stress. My husband and I worked off the sample cere...
monies provided and personalized it to make it our own. Rob was our officiant for wedding day and he was amazing! He came early to discuss the ceremony with us and our DJ and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend Rob as your officiant!
My husband and I are so glad that we decided to book Best Wedding Officiant. We had Rob marry us, and we are so glad we did. He is very professional, responsive, and accommodating....
We loved how short, sweet, and to the point our wedding ceremony was. If you are looking for a wedding officiant that has an endless amount of wedding scripts that you can edit, book Best Wedding Officiant!
Owen, one of Paul's officiants, did an amazing job turning our dream ceremony into a reality! He made it personal not only to us but for our daughters as well. The process was supe...

We requested Lizbeth Sanchez as our officiant and she was amazing! When we reached out to have an initial discussion when trying to find the best officiant for us, she was very pro...
mpt in setting up a call, and we loved her energy. She gave us a ton of great sample scripts to personalize for our day - we wanted something us, but still short and sweet and simple. The day of, other vendors caused our ceremony to start almost an hour late, so we were in a time crunch, but Lizbeth performed our ceremony beautifully and made us feel much more at ease both before the ceremony started as we anxiously waited for it to begin, and during the ceremony when standing up and repeating our vows. She helped make our ceremony truly special and I'd 1000% recommend her!
Paul was easy to work with, however, he did not take all our requests into account (forgot to remove something from the ceremony we had reminded him about twice) and also pronounce...
d my name incorrectly multiple times throughout the ceremony, despite me spelling it phonetically for him and emphasizing my pronunciation during our meeting. Other than those two things though, he came prepared with all our forms and got us our marriage license within just a few days after the ceremony, with minimal effort on our part, which was great
Paul was an absolute pleasure to work with! Extremely responsive, professional, and organized. Despite being sick the week of our wedding, he informed me as early as he could and p...
roactively arranged a substitute so that I could remain worry-free the week of my wedding. Troy filled in and he knocked it out of the park! Troy hopped on the phone with me early in the week to go over my vision and really took the time to get to know my husband and I to make the ceremony as special and personalized as possible. Thank you Paul and Troy!
Hiring Paul to officiate our wedding was the best decision. He was super friendly and easy to coordinate with. The ceremony flowed so well. Paul was incredibly charismatic and wel...
l spoken. Our guests all commented on how great he was. We cannot recommend him enough!
Paul from Best Wedding Officiant was excellent. He was always available when we needed to tailor our ceremony to exactly what we were looking for. Our officiant that day, Rob, was ...
great. He was super professional and very down to earth. He made sure to coordinate with the DJ and make sure the ceremony went very smoothly. He helped guide us through every part of the ceremony, from paper work to making sure we each had our rings and vows. Can’t thank him and Paul enough for helping to make our wedding day so special!
Hermoso desde la preparacion hasta el final, la energia buena vibra y las acertadas palabras del oficiante de boda maravilloso. Encantada recuerdo hermoso para toda la vida.
Best team around! We highly recommend Paul and his amazing team! From first contact to wedding day, Paul and Rob were very responsive, transparent and dedicated to delivering a ...

I had an amazing experience with The Best Wedding Officiant. I found them through a google search, and after reading over their services I knew I wanted them to help with my elopem...
ent. I contacted them, and I received a response in less than 24 hours. They were extremely helpful with the process, and I did not have to do anything really. They were very accommodating, especially when I had to move my wedding date, and running late on the actual day. The location was beautiful, and the ceremony was simple (which I preferred) but Paul made it special, and I appreciated that. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for an elopement. I got married 09/13/2023.
My (now) husband and I decided not to pursue someone we knew to be the one to marry us. What a mistake. It’s been almost a month since we’ve gotten married and we cannot shake how ...
disappointed we are. We found ‘the greatest officiant’ online and met with our officiant, Paul Camuto. We spent countless hours crafting emails, blueprints and even zoomed in with him a few times. We expressed the importance of how much our wedding ceremony meant to us and how we wanted it to reflect an intimate, serious, and well-rehearsed vibe. Instead, we got an unrehearsed, jumbled and rushed mess. Our wedding was a black-tie affair and Mr. Camuto showed up in chinos and a sweater. He brought out a large iPad to read off of yet STILL managed to botch and stumble upon the script that WE wrote- and rather than stopping and finding his place- he just kept going with it(!) Some of his sentences didn’t even make sense. The entire reading felt like one strung together sentence. The actual moment of him marrying us felt rushed and insincere. Aside from this extremely disappointing situation, our wedding was fantastic. The reception made up for everyone’s side commentary on how bad our officiant was- and we’re not kidding; EVERYONE noticed. If there is one thing we can say to anyone getting married: do NOT use Paul Camuto, but better yet stay away from this company.
Paul was awesome!! We had so many wedding guest come up to us after our ceremony asking us how long we have known Paul and they couldn’t believe that we had just met him the day pr...
ior. He made our ceremony incredibly personal but also kept it short and sweet (exactly what we had asked for)! We highly recommend him to officiate your wedding!
We used Paul for our ceremony and our experience was fantastic. Leading up to the wedding, Paul was very kind, responsive, and organized. During the ceremony, I felt very at ease w...
hen he spoke—he used a perfect, warm tone with a touch of lightheartedness that my family later complimented as well. We also added a poem to our ceremony that he read, and it was a beautiful addition!
We had Paul as our officiant and he was great to work with! I wanted something lowkey and non religious for our ceremony and he did exactly what I asked for. He showed up right on ...
time for the ceremony and sprinkled in some humor into the ceremony reading so it felt super natural. He didn't even need to read off a script or anything. Afterwards, some guests asked how we knew the officiant as if he was close to us and they were surprised that we had simply hired him and had never met him in person until the wedding.
Excellent!
Thank you to an awesome officiant!
Our Officiant was Juan. He was awesome from start to finish! We initially had a phone conversation, detailing the type of ceremony we preferred....
Then, we had zoom meeting closer to the ceremony. Juan was very personable, responsive and flexible throughout the entire process. All of guests enjoyed the energy of the ceremony. We would definitely recommend him and this company to others.
I got married 12/3/22 and Paul was literally my dream officiant! I was looking for something super simple, as both my husband and I hate public speaking. He listened to the fact t...
hat we wanted quick and simple! He offers literally any type of ceremony and I 100% would recommend him to anyone getting married!!
When trying to decide on an officiant for our ceremony, we were both at a loss for what to do. Neither of us is religious, and we did not have any close friends or family members t...
hat would have been able to do the ceremony for us. Enter Best Wedding Officiant! The service was extremely easy and straightforward to book. Our officiant was Owen, and together we planned a mead ceremony inspired by traditional Viking weddings and Neil Gaiman's American Gods that fit our vision perfectly. Even if you are looking for more traditional services, I would not hesitate to reach out to their team and work with them to put together the perfect ceremony for your wedding. Owen did an amazing job on our wedding day and was a very settling presence to help calm any pre-wedding jitters. He was also incredibly helpful with the wedding license and application for the certificates, and he provided a beautiful transcript of our ceremony as a keepsake. If you are in need of an officiant, Best Wedding Officiant is the place to look!
Paul was phenomenal! We got to meet with him a few months prior to discuss what we wanted for our ceremony. He was able to personalize it to really celebrate who my husband and I a...
re together. For somebody who was overwhelmed by the planning process, Paul helped make planning the ceremony, getting our marriage license sent out, and officially becoming married nice and easy! I got to see him preform a ceremony prior to our wedding and I know first hand he does personalize the ceremonies and finds unique things about each couple to celebrate. Thank you Paul!!

We worked with Owen on our wedding day and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. He was so kind & professional and knew exactly what we wanted and needed for the day. I am...
so happy that we decided to work with Best Wedding Officiants because our ceremony was flawless. Best part, Owen stepped out of the way for our first kiss!! We did not have to ask him, which was awesome. (Sometimes the officiant doesn’t move to the side then all the kiss photos have them just standing there.) 10/10!!
I was completely blown away by the services received! Completely professional and friendly throughout the process. Owen was our officiant, and I have to say it was the most beautif...
ul ceremony I could’ve imagined - and then some! He gave us an organized folder with our certificate along with a copy of our vows! I cry every time I re watch the video of our ceremony; he perfectly summarized our love. If you want a stress free & beautiful wedding ceremony, please consider this team. My expectations were beyond met, and I’m extremely thankful I found them to be apart of my big day. THANK YOU!

ichael spoke with us before booking to make sure he was a good fit and was able to answer all the questions we had about the wedding ceremony. He made himself available to customize the service to make it as personal and special as our big day was to us. The day of the ceremony he came early, handled the license tasks, and performed so well that family was asking how we found him. If you are looking for a class act officiant then please turn to Michael and bestweddingofficiant.com. You will be glad you did!

t most certainly did not fall on that list. We met with Owen a month prior via Zoom and we went over the changes we wanted to make to our “spiel”. He was open, receptive, showed up on time and really ensured that everything dlowed smoothly. I wouldnt recommend anyone else as affordable and reliable as best wedding officiant!
You won’t regret hiring Paul to officiate your wedding! Paul has an uncanny ability to bring you so much peace in one of the most anxiety inducing moments. Paul was a respectful, l...
ight, and thoughtful officiant. He was very easy to work with and very helpful in navigating what we wanted for our ceremony. He will share with you a script, but the best moments of our ceremony were when he reacted to what me and my husband were doing. He really knows how to command a room. I do recommend the rehearsal add on as well. At a minimum, you can get your license paperwork done in advance and don’t need to worry about it day-of - trust me that is worth its weight in gold!
He truly took all of the stress away from us and made the ceremony light hearted, funny and sweet! All of our guests kept raving about how great he was! Would definitely recommend ...
him to friends and family!
So professional and courteous!!

fit our style and comfort levels. At our reception and later on, we received many compliments asking about Paul and our relationship. Our guests were shocked when they found out there was no personal connection and he was just an officiant we hired for the day! We can't recommend him enough!
Paul was absolutely wonderful and easy to work with from the very beginning. I highly recommend - Our ceremony was perfect, quick, simple, and personal just as we wanted. Thank you...
