About this vendor
I offer both non-religious and religious ceremonies for weddings, hand-fastings, vow renewals and commitment ceremonies. Together we can create personalized events that will be forever a special memory for you. I serve all couples and all sizes of weddings from elopement to large venues.
My services start with a face-to-face meeting with you to get to know you, hear your thoughts and concerns and then design a ceremony that is right for you. If you want to write your own vows or need assistance, I can be of service. I'm very flexible and have lots of suggestions.
As your officiant, I make your day memorable and less stressful.
I also provide you with a few photos of the day to help you wait for the professional shots.
I would love to be your "I Do" Doer. Please contact me today.

Pam is such a wonderful officiant! My husband and I spoke with her over the phone when choosing officiants and knew right away she was the one for us! Her combination of wit and si...
ncerity won us over, and she provided us with many ideas to help us shape our ceremony in a way that felt authentic for us. She was easy to reach via email and by phone during the planning process, and offered lots of good advice for choosing our vows and braiding our handfasting cord. It was important to us include our parents in our ceremony and we wanted to keep our “repeat-after-me” vows simple. Pam was able to bring all our ideas together into a ceremony that was sweet and silly (just like us) and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. Her love of marrying couples is so sweet and she’s a joy to be around. Her guidance through the entire process was essential and we can’t imagine a more perfect day.
Pamela was great! She officiated our wedding this past March at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. She made the process of crafting a ceremony feel easy. She was very flexibl...
e and supportive of our ideas and suggestions and we're very happy with how everything turned out.
I especially appreciated Pamela's professionalism at the rehearsal; it's clear she has a lot of experience doing this. She was able to cut through the chaos of the lead up to our wedding and get everyone focused on learning their part in the ceremony. I felt very reassured that she knew what she was doing - which is a great feeling when you're standing in front of everyone getting married!
5/5, great experience. Thanks, Pam!
Pam was the perfect wedding officiant for our special day! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable, and her warm, inclusive, and LGBT-friendly approach mea...
nt so much to us. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, celebrating our unique love story and ensuring the ceremony reflected our values, personalities, and vision.
Pam’s professionalism was exceptional, but it was her genuine kindness and openness that truly stood out. She made sure every detail was perfect, and her words during the ceremony were heartfelt and meaningful. She created an atmosphere of love and acceptance, which made our wedding day even more magical.
We highly recommend Pam to any couple, especially those looking for an officiant who values and supports the LGBTQ+ community. Her presence made our ceremony unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to celebrate our love. Thank you, Pam!
Having pagan beliefs, our wedding ceremony was a bit different than most, so we needed to ensure our officiant was familiar with these traditions. Luckily, we were directed to Pame...
la and she was perfect for the role. She was able to help guide us through all the steps of the ceremony, educate us in sections that we were uncertain about, and provide us with a number of recommendations when it came to wording. She also gave us some great tips that helped our photographer capture some amazing photos. Pamela was wonderful and a pleasure to be around.
Pam was so incredible to work with! My husband and I had a combination Catholic-Assyrian ceremony and she not only gave us great tips on what to include, but helped make sure to ex...
plain things to our guests. She was great with communication and helped get us some pictures after an issue with my photographer. Thanks I uso much Pam!
Pam was the perfect fit for our wedding celebration. From the beginning of planning until after the ceremony was completed. She was more than willing to help suggest vendors, locat...
ions & any arrangements she could help with.
Being a destination wedding, we were able to sort everything out over email or phone prior too. A few days before the wedding we were finally able to meet in person. She brought fantastic energy & ideas for us to conclude all the final details.
Pam made all of our family & friends feel welcome & included. She knew exactly how to include my husbands son so he felt involved & well loved at the wedding.
The wedding ran almost an hour late & she never once made us feel badly about the situation. She kept everyone calm & took care of a few pictures while everyone waited. Every guest commented on how fantastic the ceremony was, how personal it was & how well Pam made everything fit so perfectly.
I would highly recommend Pam to anyone getting married in the area. She brings great energy & love to all those around her. Thank you very much Pam!
Pam was absolutely lovely to deal with and she fit in perfectly. She is very personable and we enjoyed her respect for nature. She will adjust your ceromony to your own personal be...
liefs and style. She also includes a rehearsal which we were very grateful you to keep everyone organized. We are so thankful to have found Pam!
Pam was absolutely incredible on our special day, we cannot say enough. She took the initiative of getting to know us by meeting up before hand and counseling us on the process, to...
being so open minded and willing to perform our Asatru themed hand-fasting ceremony! She took the time to learn the older Norse traditions that we wanted to incorporate and made it something so deeply special and beautiful. Pam also took it a step further and took so many fantastic pictures that turned out stunning! We will remember that day for the rest of our lives and we were blessed that she could be a part of it and turn it into something so ethereal. Highly recommend this officiant!
Pamela was extremely professional and went far beyond our expectations to make our day perfect. Thank you, Pam
Pamela is very friendly and helpful. She walked us through the entire ceremony, gave us great ideas. Her fee was more than reasonable.
Pamela was very friendly and very very helpful. She made great suggestions and helped calm my nerves a lot.
We hired Pam as the JOP for our December wedding and were so happy with how great everything turned out. Pam had offered some ideas when we met for or meet n' greet based on the qu...
estions she asked when getting to know us and they were so unique from the other weddings we'd been to before. We chose to do a unity sand ceremony that included our (bride and groom) mothers and our 18 month old. It was really very sweet! We also chose to do a Chrystal/Stone blessing where all of our guests chose a stone/Chrystal representing different energies that we wanted for our marriage. They held the stone and "charged" it with their blessings and energy throughout the ceremony. We had a small wedding so it was a great way for us to connect with our family and friends. Lastly, we chose a knot tying ceremony that included our son as well. The event was personal and thoughtful. I appreciated that Pam met with me beforehand to check in and see how I was doing. I was very happy that we chose Pam and all her wonderful suggestions!
