During our first meeting, my husband and I gave each other a nudge under the table because we both knew he was it. His demeanor, personality, professionalism, and perspective completely captured us right away. We both immediately knew he was exactly who we wanted to marry us. Leading up to our wedding, Paul asked us thorough and specific questions in order to capture the tone and content that we wanted. Paul also gave us a few questions to answer individually about our relationship to include in the ceremony - which was an incredible personal touch that was so captivating and meaningful for us and our guests. From beginning to end, our ceremony was deeply meaningful, engaging, personal, and light all at the same time. He was also able to perfectly capture how we wanted to incorporate religious aspects into the ceremony. His officiating was heartfelt, flowed perfectly, and captivated every single person. His beautifully written ceremony paired with his warmth is something hard to come by. Not only were we blown away by Paul, but the amount of family members and guests that came up to us and our parents to compliment Paul and his officiating was seriously incredible. From the bottom of our hearts, we could not recommend Paul enough. He provided us such a priceless experience, we couldn’t be more thankful.

Although he had never performed one before, and we live pretty far away, he came the day before for our rehearsal and we practiced it so we could get it just right. Weeks before the wedding, he sent us a short questionnaire to get to know us better and personalize our ceremony. We loved it and our guests loved it.

had all the details set... but then what would the ceremony be? What words should be said to make this the most magical day for us and ground its meaning. That was exactly what Paul brought us. The words he crafted and selected to unite us were perfect for the moment, meaningful and tender. We were married within the majestic redwoods in Big Sur, and he wove all these grandiose surroundings into the ceremony with beautiful metaphors and a wonderful service. We would suggest Paul to anyone looking for the right touch in a perfect wedding.

ad already picked up a marriage license and rings. We were taking a weekend getaway to Monterey (for Chinese Valentine’s Day) and realized we may be able to get married while we were there. After exchanging a few messages, Mr. Richards made himself available on short-notice, and his wife served as witness and filmed the impromptu ceremony for us. While we were on the road from SF to Monterey, Paully found a location and wrote a script. In a matter of hours, we’d managed to put together a perfect ceremony at Lover’s Point. It would not have been possible without Mr. & Mrs. Richards’ willingness to pull something together for us at a moment’s notice. They were kind, attentive, and truly seemed to care about making our day special. I have no hesitation recommending him for your own wedding 😊
