Loved our very personal wedding ceremony and how it captured us as a couple. We're still receiving many compliments from our guests. Who would have thought people would ever say that the ceremony was one of the best parts of the wedding!
Patrick was great! He put so much time into making sure that our ceremony was perfect. We got so many complements from friends and family who thought that he had really worked well to understand us as a couple and carry that across in the ceremony.
Patrick was an incredible officiant for our wedding, and his officiating is one of the parts of our wedding most often recalled fondly by our friends and family. We agree that he did a wonderful job officiating during the wedding, and we would also note that Patrick was an absolute pleasure to work with while planning our wedding. He took the time to get to know us and what was important to us in our wedding ceremony, and his collaborative preparation process gave us the confidence to know that our ceremony was going to be everything we hoped. And it was even better than we had hoped! We are pleased to recommend Patrick for your wedding.
Patrick did a wonderful job as our officiant in a Easton this past November. In the months prior to our wedding, he took the time to really get to know us and formulate a sincere and personalized ceremony. He was open to any feedback that we had and took them into consideration before finalizing the draft. Our guest had nothing but compliments about our ceremony, describing it as “intimate”...which was exactly the feeling we were going for and Patrick played a major role in that! After the wedding, Patrick followed up with detailed information regarding the name change process. He made it a seamless transition for me and I got my name changed within the month after our wedding. Patrick is kind, organized, and a great listener! We would absolutely recommend him to anybody looking for an officiant for their wedding!
Thanks to Patrick our ceremony was beautiful and fun!
Patrick married us at the Inn at Perry Cabin. He was fantastic in every way! He took the time to create a beautiful, personalized ceremony for us. Patrick was professional, prepared and entertaining. After the wedding, he ensured we had all necessary information to complete the marriage process.
Thank you, Patrick, for making our day unbelievable!
I can't begin to tell you how amazing our wedding ceremony was. Patrick had all the right touches to make sure our wedding day started off fun and sweet all at the same time. My cousin has been to 12 weddings this year and last year and she said our ceremony was THE BEST of all of them. Thank you Patrick!
We hired Patrick from Elegant Ceremonies and he wrote a very touching ceremony for us. From beginning to end he was on the ball and a go to expert.
Everything about our ceremony was great. It captured our personalities so well it felt like it had been written by an old friend. We were nervous about picking an officiant because we are not religious and didn't want to deal with any of THAT. Patrick is more of an artist and a talented one at that. That worked out very well for us.
We are very happy with our decision to hire Patrick to officiate our wedding. He was a constant source of expert knowledge and help. We highly recommend him.
Super great! Patrick was amazing and wet couldn't have asked for more!
We highly recommend Patrick. He is professional, warm and a master of his craft. Our ceremony was very fun, which is exactly what we wanted. We're still getting compliments!
Patrick was our officiant and he was amazing throughout the whole experience. He truly took the time to get to know mine and my husbands relationship and incorporated everything he learned into our vows. He worked with us and made our wedding vows something we will never forget. Everyone at the ceremony loved our vows and told us how great he did. The vows he wrote were elegant yet humorous, they showed our relationship to the guests. I am so blessed that he was apart of our wedding day and made it so memorable.
We are so glad we asked Patrick to be our wedding officiant because he was great from beginning to end. He was very friendly to work with and wrote a great wedding script for our ceremony and made sure we had all of the little details we needed to be sure we were ready for our wedding day. He was also very patient and professional with other people we hired for our wedding. Even after one of them was rude and unprofessional to him. We are very glad we hired Patrick and will recommend him to our friends who are getting married.
I recommend Patrick to anyone getting married because he is a great officiant, his ceremonies are beautiful, he's very friendly, and he is very ethical. One of the best things about Elegant Ceremonies is that Patrick won't try to pressure you into spending your money. We saw alot of that when we were hiring companies for our wedding. He did email a couple times after it took us a while to make a decision, but he never was intrusive and he never tried to guilt us into spending money. We talked to alot of people and almost lost out on hiring Patrick because he was the first person we talked to and after more than a month of interviewing officiants we finally realized he was the best choice all along. The ceremony he wrote was truly and really personal. When we told him we wanted to also hire him to coordinate our rehearsal he gave us a free rehearsal walk through guide and told us to read it first because he didn't want us to spend extra if we weren't sure. We still decided to hire him for the rehearsal because we just wanted the extra help, and it was worth every penny.
My husband hired Patrick unbeknownst to me to surprise me at our engagement party and I am happy to say I was immediately put at ease with him. There is something about him that I think everyone can just connect with. He did an amazing job and had I not been surprised with a wedding and had ANYTHING to do hiring someone to marry us, I would have chosen Patrick as well. I hope anyone reading this does not hesitate to hire him to officiate at their wedding.
Don't know how things could have really been better. Patrick wrote a beautiful ceremony for us. My favorite part was the way he made the unity sand part of the I do section. I thought it was very creative how he was able to weave those sections together. I've seen unity sand many times but never the way we had it in our wedding. We picked Elegant Ceremonies because of the three people we talked to Patrick was the most knowledgeable. Giving his info to my cousin!
Patrick was amazing. He really worked with us to understand our relationship and what made us unique as a couple, and incorporated that into the absolutely beautiful vows. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant. He was supportive and attentive, and didn't pressure us to include anything we didn't want. The end result was a one-of-a-kind ceremony that truly expressed who we are as a couple. Our friends and family loved it almost as much as we did! If you are looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to design a ceremony that fits you and your loved one perfectly, Patrick is the one for you!!
My husband and I chose Elegant Ceremonies, because the owner (Patrick Lopez) has been a friend of mine for 17 years. He knows me inside and out and my husband has had the pleasure if interacting with him several times. He is a consumate professional when it comes to timeliness and delivering a quality product. Not only that, he really took the time to make sure the ceremony was unique to us. He even did a great job incorporating our dog. She just loves Patrick. He also took the time post ceremony to ensure that all the i's were dotted and t's were crossed when it came to ensuring paperwork was processed and explained properly so that we may have an official marriage license and have all the necessary tools for me to change my name. SIMPLY THE BEST!
No complaints, we were very happy with everything! I may be biased by I think we had the best ceremony ever!
Excellent service. Patrick is very friendly and makes it very easy and comfortable to work with him.
Patrick really is the best officiant around. We spoke to all of the most popular officiants in the entire state and Patrick stood out from the rest. Thanks to Patrick we had this amazing ceremony that was actually a lot of fun, and very beautiful too. We can't say thank you enough!
My husband and I had the pleasure of having Patrick officiate our marriage ceremony and could not be happier with the results. He helped us create a a ceremony that was personally meaningful and witty that all of our guests absolutely loved it! We'll remember our ceremony for the rest of our lives.
We loved everything Patrick did for us! You can't find a nicer person. He's a true professional, and is the best expert we could have imagined. Responded to every email quickly, and was so very helpful.
Rev Patrick was so easy to work with. He handled everything so easily every step of the way. There were a couple things that didn't even dawn on us until he checked with is to make sure we had everything we needed. He was able to help us out on very short notice. Believe it or not we forgot to get an officiant. The ceremony was more than I would have expected with little planning. Recommend!!
Patrick is a great officiant, and we were very happy that we hired him! Very friendly and helpful. He made a great ceremony for us. We asked him to edit a couple things and he finished it very quickly. We had many compliments about the ceremony afterwards.
Everything was great. Very happy with our wedding ceremony. Thanks again, Patrick!
Me and hubby were very happy with everything about our experience with Elegant Ceremonies but the thing that stood out the most was how attentive Patrick was. It was important to me for us to meet people face to face before hiring them for our wedding. Two other officiant we were looking at weren't willing to do that before we signed a contract but Patrick offered before we even asked. It might be a small thing but for us it showed that Patrick would go above and beyond for our wedding. It made us feel very comfortable trusting him with such an important job.
My husband and I are very satisfied with Patrick at Elegant Ceremonies. We felt like he was very sincere in wanting us to enjoy our ceremony as much as possible. He was very detailed and helped us consider many different ideas about how our ceremony could be structured. We also liked that he was very flexible with us to schedule meetings when we were available. I recommend Patrick because he is very professional, very friendly, very detailed, very organized, and the results showed in on our wedding day.
Can't even begin to explain how happy we were with Elegent Ceremonies. I give them an A+ recommendation! Patrick is a great officiate and is was perfect for us.
First thing to say is that Patrick was such an easy person to work with. He's really a people person and very nice so we really enjoyed just meeting him. He understood everything we wanted for our ceremony and we are very happy with the way it all turned out. It definitely made the ceremony extra special to have him make it just about us, instead of the regular plain kind of ceremony that you see most of the time. Can't say it enough, we are very very happy and recommend him to anyone!
When we contracted Rev. Patrick we were in a real bind because we already had an officiant who had backed out on us with short notice. Luckily a friend was able to suggest Patrick and it turned out so much better than we could have ever hoped! I couldn't be happier that we ended up with him!
If you want an officiant who knows how to write a wedding ceremony, Rev. Patrick is the best! We decided to book him because after talking to him on Skype we could see that he's very knowledgeable and were sure he'd do a great job. I had no idea that officiants could be so expensive and at first we weren't sure why it cost hundreds of dollars for someone basically give a speech. But we didn't even realize how much we wanted a really great ceremony until he sent us the first copy. When we read it we were even more excited. It was clear that he spend hours working on our ceremony to get it just right. It was completely personal. We did ask for one minor revision, and a few days later he send us a final copy. He was also very accommodating and let us ask for another change to add something else to the ceremony even though we had already finalized the ceremony a month before that. In my very biased opinion we had the most beautiful wedding ceremony ever! I cannot say enough about how happy we are!
Very happy with Elegant Ceremonies and highly recommend. Patrick gave us a lovely ceremony that was funny at just the right times but heartfelt when it mattered.
