Hello there! I'm Patrick, a professional wedding officiant based in Paso Robles, California...Our little drinking town, with a farming problem...but I do travel! I take absolute delight in helping make your wedding ceremony just as you envisioned it. After all, it's your special day! In addition to working as an officiant, I'm also the owner of a distillery in Paso Robles, a voice-over specialist, and I have a multiple-subject teaching credential. That's right, the booze making officiant!

As an Army veteran and ordained minister, I’m dedicated to guiding couples through one of life’s most meaningful moments. With a heart for helping others and a passion for creating memorable experiences, I brings warmth, authenticity, and intention to every ceremony I officiate. I’m also a commissioned notary in the state of Alabama and I offer notary services to couples, making it easier to complete their marriage license without any additional cost, streamlining the process and ensuring every detail is handled with care.

Vowed and Clear is a team of online wedding officiants built on fostering spirit of accessibility and inclusion that marriage deserves. Based in Utah, Vowed and Clear helps couples legally marry online from anywhere in the world, ensuring that love, and not logistics, guides the ceremony. Vowed and Clear’s officiants have proudly helped couples across the globe celebrate their commitment. Whether joining from different cities or different continents, we help couples create a moment that’s both deeply personal and fully legal, all while honoring the belief that everyone deserves the right to marry the person they love.

Over 20’s years ago Terry started working for a wedding planning company in Traverse City MI and has since written and officiated countless wedding ceremonies, each one is unique and special as the two people who are getting married. We design your ceremony to capture your personalities, vision and wishes to most accurately reflect who you are as a couple. We love to meet with couples who want a candid heartfelt stressless ceremony full of genuine joy centered around two people setting off on a journey to conquer life. Leveraging our decades of officiating and event services, we’ll turn your dream wedding into a beautiful reality!

Your ceremony doesn't have to be "cookie cutter" or "run of the mill." I work with all my couples to present a ceremony that truly reflects your relationship. My goal is to ensure that you and your guests experience a meaningful and entertaining wedding ceremony to start your special day.
