WARM
PERSONAL
REVERENT
These are some of the key qualities
that couples planning their weddings are
usually seeking. You want a service that
captures your unique personalities and
reflects your lifestyle. You want to be
part of planning the ceremony, and yet
seek a guide with experience and
sensitivity who can blend your vision
with a wide variety of formats
available.
My training and 15 years of active
ministry as a Catholic priest in Western
Washington included preparing a large
number of couples for marriage and
officiating at their weddings. Since
resigning from clerical ministry in
order to marry, I have conducted an ecumenical wedding ministry under the auspices of the Federation of Christian Ministries for 25 years
at weddings for hundreds of couples from
a broad spectrum of belief backgrounds.
My ministry is certified by the
Federation of Christian Ministries and
meets state requirements for officiating
at weddings. Two planning sessions
prior to the wedding enable me to get to
know each couple and to work with you to
create a ceremony that is unique and
authentic to you.
My wedding ministry has brought me the endorsement of a number of quality
facilities which recommend my services to the couples they serve. These include
the Fairmont Olympic, Salish Lodge,
Woodmark Hotel, Edgewater Hotel, Stimson-Green
Mansion, Skansonia Ferry, Hollywood
Schoolhouse, Monte Villa Farmhouse and
others.
Equally impressive is the
enthusiasm of the couples for whom I
have officiated.
The quotes below are a sampling of
comments from thank-you notes I have
received. They affirm my ability to
customize each ceremony so that it is a
warm and upbeat celebration of the
couple that becomes the highlight of the
whole wedding event.
COMMENTS
FROM COUPLES:
"Just a quick note to thank
you for the wonderful officiating you
did at our wedding. The ceremony was
beautiful and elegant, and our guests
marveled over how warm and intimate it
was. And we really had fun during the
ceremony!! We smiled and laughed
and it was an incredible feeling to look
out at our families and see them doing
the same. You did a fantastic job of
capturing who we are. We sincerely
appreciate it." Mardi
& Dave
"I can't believe its already been 6
months since our wedding. This is long
overdue but thank you so much for the
sensational job you did officiating our
wedding. You personalized our wedding
ceremony in a way I never thought
possible. You're a true professional and
very passionate about your work, which
was apparent to all. We really
appreciated your thorough guidance in
planning our ceremony, which was
monumental in its success. We must have
received some 20 compliments on your
behalf." Steve
& Genevieve
"As we sit and celebrate and recall
our wedding day of 6 months ago - our
thoughts are of you and the wonderful
ceremony you "created". We
can't thank you enough for making our
celebration one of humor, joy,
reverence, and love. You were able to
capture our hearts and share our feeling
with all of our loved ones. So many of
our photographs are filled with laughter
and love...it's great. Please know that
you will always be in our hearts and
memories. With love and
affection." Paul
& Bojie
"Just can't thank you enough for
the wonderful wedding ceremony you
performed for us. It was absolutely
perfect. Your sense of humor really put
me at ease when I was feeling so
nervous!! Thank you for personalizing
the ceremony for us with your story
about how we met, etc. We loved our
wedding day and you played a most
important part in it." Maureen
& George
"We want to thank you again
for everything you did to make our
wedding day very special. The ceremony
was warm, touching and so personalized!!
So many of our family and friends
commented on the ceremony and how much
they enjoyed it (the best they'd
experienced, in fact). We thought so,
too! Please feel free to use us as
references who heartily support your
ministry. Thanks again for everything
you did to make our special day very
sacred and memorable." Helen
& Ruben
"David and I just wanted to let you
know how pleased we were with how the
wedding went, and especially the
ceremony. It turned out even
better than we had imagined
it. Your personal touches
really made it special. We got
compliments from everyone who
attended. They described it as
"elegant, but fun", which is
just what we had hoped for. Our
families were both touched and amused at
the way you were able to incorporate our
own personal stories, but also maintain
the sense of tradition and
reverence. You've helped provide
us a terrific beginning to our life
together and an wonderful memory for us
to look back on throughout the coming
years." Patricia
and David
"I'm not sure where to
begin in thanking you for our wedding
day, other than to tell you that pretty
much every person we talked to said it
was the best ceremony they had ever been
a part of. We owe it to you!
You just totally surpassed our
expectations and we are so grateful to
you for making our wedding day so
meaningful. And you were
"under the gun", so to speak,
with the time frame, but no one
knew. I know our location was out
of your way - your taking control of the
rehearsal was a total life saver!
Good luck to you in the future and take
care, Pat." Sue
and Scott
"Thank you so much for
creating such a beautiful and memorable
wedding ceremony for us. Many, many of
our guests asked who you were and almost
everyone commented it was one of the
best, if not THE best ceremony they had
ever attended. Special thanks for adding
humor and warmth to the event - it was
perfect. We enjoyed, and many guests
also mentioned, the wedding party facing
their guests - that really creates a
sense of togetherness." John
& Nancy
"It takes a bit of a "leap of faith" when one hires an
officiant. Certainly with a reference like our wedding coordinator Stephanie
Solomon it would be difficult to go wrong but I never imagined it would be so
perfect. We loved your style, your humor, your tenderness and joy. You are
positive, energetic, and you have a wonderful presence. You put us and our
guests at ease. Thank you for your wonderful work and for making our ceremony
so beautiful and memorable." Annie and Carter
"Where do we start? The ceremony was wonderful. Your blend of
humor and style and the way in which you personalized our ceremony made it a
memorable experience that we will never forget. We continue to receive
compliments from our guests." Jennifer & Eric
"Thank you so much for the wonderful wedding ceremony you
performed for us. We received many, many compliments from our guests. They
loved how personal it was and our family members felt they learned more about
us and our love. We couldn't have been happier with how special our ceremony
was !! Thanks again for the wonderful work you do!! '' Stacy
& Brian
"We wanted to thank you again for everything you did to make
our wedding day very special. The ceremony was warm, touching and so
personalized. So many of our family and friends commented on the ceremony and
how much they enjoyed it (the best they'd experienced in fact) !! We thought
so, too !! Please feel free to use as references who heartily support your
ministry." Helen & Chuck
"Thank you so very much for officiating our wedding. I have
had so many people come to me and praise your words. You have reminded them
of the reasons why they tied the knot. You certainly brought the romantic
ambiance that we were seeking. Thank you for such an amazing time - we will
always cherish this memory." Veronica & Mikael
"What great luck it was for us to find you ! The wedding
ceremony you gave us was the cherry on top of a perfect day. The words you
spoke were inspired. Not only did they give us a solid base of wisdom on
which to start our life together, they served to unite all of us in the room.
Everyone there was powerfully touched. So many remarked that it was the most
beautiful and inspiring wedding ceremony they had witnessed. Thanks you for
your kindness, generosity and guidance. With your help, we were able to have
a very personal, intimate ceremony that embraced every person on the room. We
are forever grateful."
Karen and Rob
"Rev. Pat - Thank You for everything you did to make our wedding such a memorable event! We are still hearing from people that they's never been to a more intimate, personal ceremony. We feel the same way. You really took the time to get know Zach and me and really captured our essence in your words. It couldn't have been more perfect. You really drew everyone in and made them feel a part of the expereince. I'll always remember feeling at one with not only Zach but the special people we asked to be with us that night. Thanks you again for your beautiful words and lovely way. God Bless."
Jennifer & Zach
"Rev. Pat - What is the core to a wedding? Certainly it is both the bride and groom. But with just as much weight, it is the officiant. For he/she provides the structure, tone, emotion and feel of the event. Yesterday was Wonderful !! And so much of that "wonder" was because of you. Let us assure you of that. We searched for someone just like you. The Woodmark didn't lead us to you. It was a deliberate Google search of "former Catholic Priest, officiant, wedding Seattle" that lead us to you. The phone conversation cinched it. I just knew in my bones that you were the one. You and Us were meant to be. "Thank You" doesn't come close and sounds too simple to properly express the depth of gratitude that we feel. "Thank You" comes not just from Jeff and me, but also from each of our family members. You connected with each of them and gave them all the special gift of your precense. Thanks you for your widom, words, gracious facilitation and gentel kindness."
