Patricia Coleman - Celebrant

knew she would make everything meaningful, memorable, and run smoothly. I met with her during a planning trip and immediately felt like I've know her for years. She has a caring personality, kind heart and her passion for her job was undeniable. What I truly loved was her willingness to make our ceremony completely customized to suit us! Planning long-distance was a breeze... as she always responded to emails quickly and was more than helpful with ideas. We had A LOT of issues with our venue, but knowing our other vendors, Patricia included, were fantastic helped me keep peace of mind. I had no doubts our ceremony would be beautiful, but she in fact helped make if even more magical than I could have dreamed. We cannot thank her enough for playing such a key role in our wedding. We HIGHLY recommend Patricia Coleman as an officiant! You will not be disappointed!! :)

to tweak the ceremony to really reflect who we are, and it was absolutely perfect. All of our friends and family commented on how "real" the ceremony. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Kim and Jay

of our guests commented that they were so impressed by our ceremony as it really reflected our personalities as a couple. She was very flexible and even started the ceremony a little early since all of our guests arrive on time. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her!

ally enjoys what she does. We were putting together our ceremony and we were so impressed by Patricia's selections for readings and ceremony options that she provided us. She helped us craft the most perfect, memorable ceremony! Thank you Patricia! If you are looking for someone who is reliable, warm and kind and available by call, in person meetings or email whenever you need, Patricia should be your first choice. I recommend her 100%!

man was, hands down, one of the best parts of our wedding. She is a confident and capable speaker with not a single stammer. My husband and I both have unusual names, and she didn't hiccup over them once. In addition to being totally adorable, she made us and our guests instantly feel at ease and was crucial in creating the lighthearted, fun tone to our ceremony. Prior to the big day, she always promptly responded to our emails and phone calls, and she accommodated our busy schedules to meet before the wedding. She also helped us go through several possible ceremonies until we were able to customize the one we wanted. It's nice when at least one element of your wedding is perfect, and the ceremony definitely was. Props to Pat! She's an absolute professional who radiates nothing but friendly, positive vibes.

ate ceremony prior to the actual day, and she accomodated us with that! She's such a sweet and caring person. Patricia gave us a lot of guidance in drafting our ceremony details with readings, our vows, and honoring of our parents. Our ceremony was beautiful, with every single detail. She also really connects with the audience, definitely not mono-toned, as I have heard other officiants sound like. Would definitely recommend to others.

erything Patricia, aside from our beautiful location in La Jolla, you made everything so simple for us that day! Best wishes!! - W & M

unavailable, and I am so glad I did! Patricia was professional, easy to reach, quick to respond to questions, and respected our ideas and thoughts. Because we live 90 miles from the site of our wedding, we had not actually met Patricia until the day of our wedding - she instantly made us feel comfortable, and was warm, welcoming and sweet - not just to us, but to our entire families! She was funny, down to earth, charming, and easy to talk to. A wonderful lady who did a fabulous job - I highly recommend her to anyone seeking the perfect officiant!!!

and professional. I wanted an officiant that could blend modern tradition with an intimate and meaningful flare. Patricia provided us with many ideas for the ceremony, and we took a blend of her ideas including a personal story of how we met. With Patricia’s help, the ceremony was a perfect combination of everything I always wanted. I am delighted that we chose Patricia as our wedding officiant and I highly recommend her for your wedding. Give her a call; you will be very happy that you did.

e we even officially hired her). We felt such a great vibe because she has such great personality and it showed even in our phone conversation. We chose her before we met her in person. When we finally did meet her in person, we knew we made the right decision in picking her to be our officiant. She was very professional, a great listener, very calming and such a sweetheart! She guided us through the ceremony process and she was always available to us when we needed her. We are very happy that we have picked Patricia to be part of our big day and we highly recommend her to all Bride/Groom to be.

meanor. She really loves what she does and you can truly feel her passion when you meet her. My husband and I are huge planners and we wanted to plan a ceremony that would not only be remembered by us, but by our guests too. She sent us a total of 12 of her favorite ceremonies and she allowed us to pick and choose paragraphs from each of them to make the ceremony our own. She also has many ideas to add to the ceremony personality and we fell in love with the river stone blessing. All of our guests told us how much they loved being part of our ceremony and to give us a meaningful gift that we would treasure forever. The stones were placed at the end of the ceremony in glass vases and are now in our home where we can look at them and remember our special day forever and be surrounded by our wedding guests love and hopes and dreams for our marriage. We decided to write our own vows and reciting them to each other was very difficult to do with out crying and losing control, especially me:) Patricia gave me a gentle touch to my arm and reminded me to take my time and to breathe. After the wedding she hand delivered our marriage license to the County Clerk's office. I couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us. She has married many couples and am sure she had been doing this forever but she really opens herself up to relate to her clients and bond with them. Thank you so much for making out wedding ceremony perfect , we will forever consider her a friend.

she blew us away. Not only is she incredibly warm and kind, but she is very personable and honest. She did not try to influence our decisions about the ceremony content, but rather helped us make it as personal as possible. I got very emotional during our vows and Patricia quietly held my hand and talked me through them (which was so wonderful!). I feel so blessed to have found Patricia and recommend her highly!

our ceremony!

that I'd love her. Luckily our wedding was the only day she had available (so book her right now!) She sent me weekly update and she always ended our emails with reminding me to BREATHE, which is what I always needed to hear. She will honor any wishes you may have and will not disappoint!

officiated my friends wedding as well as mine and did an amazing job at both. I would tell you to stop looking right now and use Patricia! LOVE LOVE LOVE her!!

nergy and a credit to her profession. I highly recommend her.

ricia is a true professional. We highly recommend her services!! Thank you Patricia!!!

e family member that you've known for your entire life. Furthermore, Patricia is so easy-going. You can have as much or as little control over your ceremony as you want. She has fully written pieces that you can completely use or only slightly tweak, or you can compose an entirely new ceremony of your own. If you choose the later like I did, Patricia will look it over and let you know what needs changed to make it flow better, and she'll remind you of all the traditional aspects that you forgot in case you want to add them too (although I also never felt pressured to add anything either). I was completely set and good to go on the ceremony weeks before the wedding. Additionally, Patricia has no restrictions on what you can and cannot do in terms of ceremony style. She told us that she has performed religious, non-religious, mixed religion, etc weddings. She wants you to love your moment, and she doesn't get caught up in all the "rules." We had a VERY traditional and religious ceremony, but I also have no doubt that if we wanted completely non-religious, she would have made sure it was just as beautiful! And lastly, as an added bonus, Patricia is so low-maintenance. She knows exactly what she is doing, she requires little to no directions, and she flows through the ceremony effortlessly. SHE'S AWESOME!

ia. Patricia was wonderful to work with... so friendly, extremely responsive, and very knowledgeable ... and most important, PATIENT! My husband and I didn't decide on our vows until the very last minute, we even had some ceremony changes the day of, and Patricia was very accommodating. I even had several engaged friends approach me at the reception asking about Patricia.

else and quick! Someone recommended Patricia to me and from the very first conversation we had – I knew she would be perfect! She immediately put us at ease and we connected with her right away. She gave us direction, support, and encouragement leading up to our wedding and especially the day of. She not only provided us with lots of ideas and samples, but allowed us to tailor the ceremony to fit us! I can honestly say that once we met Patricia we knew she was the one to officiate our ceremony and we had nothing to worry about. She is extremely professional and her passion shows in her work. Guests at our wedding thought she had known us for years!! She is an amazing person and any couple would be lucky to have her be a part of their wedding. My advice… call and book her today!!!

or our ceremony -- and she was! Even our families commented on how genuine she was during the ceremony. it felt like we had known her forever! She worked with us leading up to the wedding to make sure we were comfortable with our vows and they were what we wanted. She really made our ceremony exactly how we pictured it and we would reccomend her again and again! thank you Patricia! You're the best!

n her for years. She's extremely down to earth and is a wealth of knowledge during wedding planning. She sent us many samples of ceremonies that helped us put together the perfect ceremony. It was a major time saver! If you ever have any questions, she will always call or e-mail you back right away. She's a true professional and I consider myself lucky to have had her as our officiant.

ual. On the contrary, his is not and her options of our wedding vows fit perfectly. It was very windy that day on the cliffs, so I wish she had a louder voice since we were not allowed to bring microphones to the national park, Cabrillo National Monument Lighthouse. She does not count on the money to make ends meet. She does it because she loves it.

and that is exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. We did not want someone who felt like a stranger. She put us at ease the moment we met her. She created a custom wedding that incorporated everything we wanted. She was a source of serenity and strength on our wedding day! She also helped keep everything organized and on track when our wedding coordinator was late to our rehearsal.

I enjoyed working with Patricia. She was very patient with me and very attentive. We were able to put together a memorable ceremony through emails. On my wedding day, Patricia came in to the bridal suite and assured me that everything will be great. The whole ceremony was so beautiful. I was able to finish my vows with Patricia's help. Everything was explained and executed the way we planned. Thanks so much for making our wedding day unforgettable and full of joy. Beth & Rich

ny was tailored to fit us as a couple. She delivered the ceremony with poise and sincerity. We would recommend Patricia to anyone looking for a stellar officiant! Nate & Kristi Benedetto

d taken care of since day 1 on the phone, meeting her and most especially on our wedding day. She held our hands and kept us calm. Thank you Patricia for being a part of the start of our life together, you made it more meaningful and beautiful. You just had the words that we wanted to say, but did not know how, and as if every word was put together by an angel.

nd and I became engaged, I quickly contacted Patricia to reside over our wedding. She responded immediately to my email and met with us that same week. My husband and I were nervous to meet and open up to someone we hardly knew, yet who we were going to be sharing a very intimite moment with in our lives; however, when we got to talking, everything seemed to flow. We both felt as though we'd known Patricia for years and could completely open up to her. She made us feel so comfortable and was a joy to work with. We were in contact with her throughout the entire wedding process and she provided us with tremendous guidance on personalizing our own ceremony. With her help, we were able to create a wedding ceremony that was unique to us as a couple. When we look back on our wedding day, getting through the ceremony was easiest part of our day because Patricia was by our side. I highly recommend having Patricia Coleman be a part of your special day! Thank you for everything Patricia!

and endearing. We were so pleased to have her as our officiant!

to meet with us several times to go over questions that we had. Definitely recommended!

very nice and she was very nice and friendly towards everyone at our wedding! I definitely recommend her to everyone.

meanor that resonated with everyone. Patricia's personality was fun, humorous, and quite agreeable, and we loved her from the moment we met her! Several people told us after the ceremony how much they liked Patricia, too. We felt confident, happy, and present in the moment, and that could not have happened without Patricia by our side!

so special, for your special day. Patricia is very outgoing and has done this a few times. We had no worries that she would take care of us and make our day a day to remeber. Patricia would take the time to return every email I sent to her and answer every question that I had, even if I asked it two or three times it did not matter. Patricia always made me feel comfortable and when I was freaking out about things she would always remind me to BREATHE and it really does work. All I can say if you are looking for someone who really does think about family and the bride and grrom she is the Officiant for you. I would recommend her over and over again. Thank you again Patricia for making our day one to remeber for a life time. Love Kim and Nick Hulley

she is such an honest and sweet person. She provided sample vows, readings etc, which help tremendously and I have no regrets choosing what she gave us. She was always available and easy to talk with which helped me out a lot being a DIY bride. She reminded me to breathe which at times I'd forget to. On the day of our wedding, she arrived early and made sure she made the time to talk with my husband and I individually. The hug she gave was very sincere, and I really appreciated it. I would definitely recommend Patricia to future brides to be. You won't be disappointed! Thank you again Patricia. With love, Darlene & John Carreon

ke we'd know her for years, even though we'd just met. I loved the ceremony we designed together.

in fact she exceeded our expectations in every way. My wife and I highly recommend Patricia!

utiful vows. Patricia is so down to earth & sweet!
