Paula is the best!

Our wedding took place in May 2025, Paula was our officiant. She is so extremely kindhearted and warm, while professional and very knowledgeable. I am so thankful to have had her be apart of our day!

Thank you!!!

A heartfelt thank you to Paula for her incredible work on Saturday! The ceremony was absolutely perfect, and we were so impressed by her ability to switch seamlessly between three languages. Our international guests felt so included and were deeply touched—it was such a thoughtful and special gesture.

Everyone commented on how personal and meaningful the ceremony felt, which was exactly what we had envisioned. Thank you, Paula, for helping us create such a memorable and beautiful moment. We’re so grateful you were the one to marry us! Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a truly special ceremony.

English and Spanish wedding

A fantastic officiant who truly worked with us to provide the ceremony of our dreams. She worked with us to integrate into the ceremony both Spanish and English, and even putting in some German and Portuguese bringing our entire families together. The words she wrote in all the languages were beautiful and truly moving, and we will forever have them to guide us in our marriage. She was also very helpful in working through all the legal and document requirements of the process. Truly appreciate all the work and care that went into providing us with the most perfect ceremony. Thank you.

Paula was fantastic!

We hired Paula to officiate our bilingual (Spanish-English) ceremony. Paula was not only super easy to work with, she was great at easing our anxieties and making the process smooth, fun, and easy. She went above and beyond for us and was very professional. We would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Perfect bilingual ceremony!

We had an excellent experience with Paula as our wedding officiant. She provided a bilingual Spanish/English ceremony for our intercultural Mexican/Canadian wedding. She was responsive, pleasant and professional throughout the booking process and was transparent about fees. We had two telephone meetings with her during the planning process but she was also available by text and email. She offered us a selection of pre-written ceremony scripts and readings as well as the option to customize the ceremony however we liked. She was punctual on the wedding day, and the ceremony itself was absolutely beautiful and filled with emotion. Thank you Paula!

THE best you can ask for!

Paula was so accommodating and kind, and helpful with any question I had, and she really saved me by accepting my last-minute request and helping with much-needed advice on paperwork, especially during the early months of the COVID crisis. I have only the best to say! Still, 6 months after our little wedding ceremony, I remember Paula with such warmth and gratitude for having come across her! Thank you!
