About

Congratulations on your impending marriage! I have performed weddings for over 35 years as an ordained Lutheran pastor. They have taken place outdoors in parks, resorts, living rooms and backyards. Oh, and in hotels, restaurants, and churches. These are just of the some places it has been my privilege to lead about 350 weddings. Even though I am a pastor, I also happily work with couples interested in non-religious weddings. And, it is my priviledge to also work with LBTGQI couples.

It is a privilege and joy to do this work. I find many times the connections made with couples continue to grow for years!

    Pastor Paul was above and beyond in all of our wishes for what we wanted for our wedding. By meeting us beforehand he was able to capture a little bit of our stories and personalities. All of our guests thought that he did a perfect job. Nothing but joy and blessings for Pastor Paul.

    Pastor Paul was hands down the best officiant we could have picked. He had multiple meetings with us beforehand, He was on time for everything, we asked for a little bit of humor at our ceremony and he did just that. It was amazing! We would highly highly recommend him if you are looking for an officiant for your wedding. We can’t say enough great things about him.

    Paul is a great person! He met with us and discussed all of our needs. Paul provided us with some great new ideas we had not thought about. We look forward to working and celebrating with him!

    Paul was GREAT. We did not want someone who performed weddings because they bought a license to do so. We wanted someone who spent their life in ministry. Paul is a Luther pastor. But he did not push his particular beliefs on us but celebrated our diverse spiritual beliefs beautifully.
    He’s married many people. We wanted a more secular wedding. Paul encouraged us and was more than supportive in putting the right ceremony together with us. His message was positive and joyful.
    He celebrated that we are two
    gay men celebrating our love for each other.
    There is not more to say about Paul other than he made our wedding beautiful, special and memorable. A great person. We were lucky to have him perform the ceremony.
    We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts.
    Thanks Paul.
    Truly, Frank and Jonathan
