Wedding Testimonials
Kristin & Devon
Hi Paul,
Peggy and I really enjoyed chatting with you and your daughter (what a wonderful young lady) at the recent wedding event you performed. We were both impressed with the ceremony and the way you conducted it. It was a refreshing break from traditional ceremonies that talk about the beliefs of the particular church the couple is getting married in versus a very common sense description of marriage and what couples may expect from each other.
I know you tailored the ceremony to our good friends' wants and needs plus sprinkled it with much of their history and many practical thoughts and ideas of yours added in! All in all a very enjoyable ceremony that my wife and I both enjoyed and will remember for ever!

We found Paul easily on TheKnot.com. We did the Pre-Marital preparation (SYMBIS and Enneagram) which we enjoyed very much. It was fun getting to know each other even more.
Paul made the ceremony planning very easy and fun for us. He really took the time to learn about us as individuals and as a couple.
We absolutely loved our ceremony! It was the perfect combination of traditional and unique. It matched us perfectly. We received many compliments on how unique to us our ceremony was, and the guests felt very engaged.
Also thank for being very prompt in all your correspondence over several months. We absolutely loved having you as our officiant!
Sincerely,
Benita and Michael Jacobs

Kayla & Chad
We recently had the pleasure of being present at a wedding where Paul Paiva was the Officiant. What a journey he took us all on when talking about the couple's lives leading up to their big day! Paul told their love story in such a way we were all laughing and crying with happiness for the happy couple. Too bad my son is getting married in Texas next year; we would have loved to have Paul perform our son's wedding.
Thank you Paul for making Chad and Kayla’s big day so special! Big hugs from Texas.

JULIE
I loved it, it was perfect! There were surprises, the guests really enjoyed it. The ceremony was my favorite part.
LEIF
The ceremony in some ways rivaled the reception. As Julie mentioned, there were even some surprises that we didn't even know about that came off spectacularly. We knew it was going to be really good, but we were beyond satisfied. I thought it was the best wedding I've been too! It was phenomenal, everything was great.
Some people were emotionally moved, I talked to members of my family; there were at least a couple who thought it was the best wedding they have ever been to.
JULIE
More than a couple! I was told by several people it was the best wedding they've ever been to.
LEIF
Working with Paul also rekindled parts of our relationship.
JULIE
I would say that a wedding officiant needs to be welcoming, someone you are comfortable with, and someone that is open-minded so that anything you want can be incorporated into you wedding, and Paul encompasses all that.
LEIF
Paul really showed us you really don't have to stick to tradition.
JULIE
Both of my parents were were happy, my dad said it was the best family event we could have ever had, really brought the family together. He still talks about it, and this is two months later!
Kelsi & Justin
The guests loved the wedding! They thought the ceremony was interesting and captivating. People were laughing during the ceremony which was so nice.
Paul was fun and easy-going to work with. We would recommend Paul to others who are getting married. He was very hard-working, writing up the documents, getting back to us at 2 in the morning since he worked on it right after our 3 hour meetings.
Our parents loved the ceremony! They thought it was great, and didn't know of many of the exciting details that Paul shared. Everyone was delightfully surprised with the story Paul told.

Paul provided outstanding service to my wife and I!
We had a very specific and unique ceremony in mind and right from the beginning Paul was able to adapt his style to our vision and provided thoughtful recommendations throughout the planning process. The entire experience was very client-focused and yielded a better outcome than we had hoped for.
Following the ceremony, Paul joined us at the reception and was an immediate hit with friends and family. To top it all off, he sent us about 100 photos that we still cherish today. Paul's professional approach and sense of humor made him a joy to work with, and we would recommend him to anybody.
