Fun, Romantic Ceremonies
It’s your big day and I want you to shine!
Hi, I’m Jim Patton, a Non-Denominational Minister / Officiant in San Diego.
Couples who choose me are looking for a warm and sincere ceremony where smiles and laughter are welcome.
Basically, the loving qualities that led them to the wonderful moment of saying,
“I do!”
Your Ceremony
I want your ceremony to be one you’ll love! I begin by listening to you and composing a first draft we can tailor to the perfect fit. I love adding personal touches, like the story of your romance.
And I’m happy to help guide you through other choices like: Traditional vows or your own? Perhaps a unity ceremony with sand, candles or whatever is special for you! (Scroll down for a more on that). Or maybe you’d just like to keep it short and sweet. I assure you, there are only good choices, because they’ll be yours!
Unity Ceremonies
A special touch within your ceremony.
A unity ceremony, such as lighting a candle together, or blending different colors of sand, is like an added little ceremony within your ceremony. In the photo below, the blending of their favorite teas spoke to this couple; reminding them of the love and security they felt growing up in families with strong cultural traditions sharing tea. I once had a couple pour each other shots of their favorite whiskey.
Is there something you share that might be fun to add to your ceremony?
Kind words from the Bride
My husband and I absolutely adored Jim Patton and his humor from our first interview call - and he was definitely the right guy!
He went through our ceremony with a clear voice, a witty and humorous script, and a kindness and care that was felt by not only my husband and I, but also our guests!
We are incredibly grateful to Jim for elevating our ceremony and making it such a wonderful experience and memory.
