Patty was a wonderful officiant. We had a family emergency that caused us to move up our ceremony date. Not only was patty more than happy to accommodate, she helped provide a witness since ours were unable to make it. I highly recommend Patty as an officiant.
My daughter and her fiancee had their wedding on Halloween in one of the 'Secret Rooms' at McMenamins Old St. Francis School in Bend, Oregon. It was a fun ceremony, the officiant made it memorable, and setting was perfect! Thank you Gig Salad!
Thank you so much for everything! I couldn't be more pleased and love how mellow and kick back you are. I would highly recommend you!
Response from New Beginnings and Happy Endings:
It was such a joy to officiate at your wedding! And I loved your story ... and meeting so many fun people.
Have a wonderful life together.

Very sweet lady. She wrote a beautiful passage, and added in everything that was special to us:)

As a wedding officiant, I enjoy talking with brides and grooms about their wishes for a wedding ceremony that may include special recognition for family members or friends, favorite poems and/or meaningful prayers or remembrances of their courtship and sharing their love with everyone present.
I have officiated at several weddings that include children of all ages and have worked with brides and grooms to be sure their tributes are just right, so the child(ren) feel they are a special members of the wedding. I love spending time talking with children about what they would like to say, and to help them to enjoy the day.
I have done sand ceremonies, unity candles, medallion ceremonies, etc., that include members of the immediate family, and always enjoy writing special vows and responses, or using the words from brides and grooms in these ceremonies.
I have robes to coordinate with the bride's color choices, or can wear a simple black dress for the ceremony, if that's what the bride and groom wish. I can also dress to accommodate the 'theme' of the wedding as well. (I've dressed as the Fairy Godmother at a Halloween wedding and granted 'wishes' to little children who were there.)
I've enjoyed marrying couples in a park gazebo, with witnesses only. I've helped couples set up chairs alongside the river prior to their wedding. I've performed ceremonies in large venues, at wineries, at family farms and elegant homes. I've enjoyed weddings where the bride's dogs have been the ring bearers, weddings with a cowboy theme and weddings fit for a princess. They have all been special and fun and each wedding is unique and memorable.
Please share with me your dreams and expectations. Together we can make it happen.
