Pam will make your celebration extra special
Pam was so sweet and helpful. She chose a beautiful spot and made our day very special.
We highly recommend her. Barbara 03/24/2023
Having pagan beliefs, our wedding ceremony was a bit different than most, so we needed to ensure our officiant was familiar with these traditions. Luckily, we were directed to Pamela and she was perfect for the role. She was able to help guide us through all the steps of the ceremony, educate us in sections that we were uncertain about, and provide us with a number of recommendations when it came to wording. She also gave us some great tips that helped our photographer capture some amazing photos. Pamela was wonderful and a pleasure to be around. Eric April 2022
Pam was so incredible to work with! My husband and I had a combination Catholic-Assyrian ceremony and she not only gave us great tips on what to include, but helped make sure to explain things to our guests. She was great with communication and helped get us some pictures after an issue with my photographer. Thanks I so much Pam! Samantha April 2022
She was a support system I didn’t know I needed and she made my beautiful day more magical than I ever imagined!
She did everything we asked and more. She drove 2 hours up to Prescott to officiate our wedding. She scheduled phone calls with us to make sure we were on the same page. She was helpful every step of the way and wasn’t pushy about getting our vows on time and made sure we got exactly the type of ceremony we wanted. She rolled with our punches and made the ceremony comfortable and beautiful. Our families went on about how beautiful our ceremony was. She did a combination of Christian ceremony and a Celtic handfasting and it was beautiful! We also had a family joining ceremony that included my new stepson and it meant the world to us. She took pictures so we could get nice pictures of our marriage the next day so I could have some to post. She made my special day more magical than I ever dreamed! Thank you Pam! Kaysea April 2022
Pam what exactly who and what we were looking for when it came to our wedding. She helped us to create an intimate and meaningful ceremony that captured the essence of our relationship. She took the time to get to know who we are as individuals, and most importantly as a couple. Pam ingratiated herself with our guests as if she’d know them for years. We have the upmost respect and appreciate for her professionalism and willingness to walk us through the legal process. Our location was a bit further out of the Phoenix metro area, we were so grateful she was happy to accommodate without any hesitation. We consider ourselves blessed to have had Pam be the person that started our journey as husband and wife. Will March 2022
Pam was extremely nice and pleasant to work with! We appreciated her ability to make us feel comfortable and she had some great suggestions to help us put special touches on our big day! We had a great experience! Kelsey March 2022
Made my wedding ceremony extra special!!
I can not say enough wonderful things about Pam! She responded very quickly to our request to have her marry my husband and I. I loved all of the unconventional ceremonial things she adds into the ceremony. She included not only our children into the ceremony, but also our parents. She is so sweet and down to earth. I was a bit nervous before the ceremony but she did a great job at reassuring me that everything would be fine. It was as a pleasure having Pam be our marriage officiant! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else do a better job. Ashley Feb 2022
Pam was such an amazing officiant I loved our ceremony I couldn’t of asked for anything more I would recommend her to anyone who needs a caring wonderful woman to do your wedding Donna Feb 2022
Fantastic !!!
Pamela was flexible, experienced, professional, with a peaceful demeanor. She brought humor to the ceremony and joy to the occasion. If we ever renew our vows we know who we want as our officiant. Escamillio Dec 2021
Amazing Lesbian Wedding
Pam Schuler was amazing to work with and made our simple ideas more than special. Pam’s kindness and loving care really helped to make the day magically. She found ways to include our family, which added a joining we didn’t think about.
Thanks for making our day more than we could ask for Pam. Irene Dec 2021
Very sweet, professional, and easy to work with!
My now husband and I really enjoyed Pam’s service. She was very responsive and incredibly easy to work with. We needed to do a quick, short-notice elopement ceremony and she was very reasonable for picking a location and time. Chris Dec 2021
Pam is wonderful!

I hired Pamela for my wedding and she was amazing very loving and professional! Jocelyn Aug 2021
Pam was very helpful when helping us plan our day! Suggestions she made for our vows and the flow of the ceremony were perfect for us and our family. Evelyn Aug 2021
My husband an I had the most wonderful experience with Pam, she not only helped with all the paper work and finding a location, but she took the time to get to know us both as people, and listened to both of our desires for how we wanted our big day to go. She was wonderfully flexible when helping us write our vows, even taking into account our word choices when there was a certain word or words we wanted to omit or add, and what kind of ceremony we wanted to do. All around we highly recommend Pam, she helped make our wedding the most memorable day! She also took some AMAZING photos!! Mykala June 2021
We got married 11 years ago just my husband and I had this vision of renewing our vows, but this time with our family there. The night before on August 10 I called Pam to see if she could help me make this vision of our renewing of our vows come true. Less than 24 hour notice and on August 11th on our 11 year anniversary she helped us make this vision come true. I can not thank her enough for making our day that much more meaningful and special. Thank you Pam. Tanya Aug 2021

A special day forever
Pam was able to schedule our ceremony on very short notice and gave us the most beautiful service I could have hope for! Pam brought the most important part of the service to life which was love. Everyone was so moved by the beautiful words and ceremony. I will remember this forever!
She helped us through every stage of planning once our marriage license was in our hands. We are so grateful to Pam and would recommend her for your most treasured events! Matt Apr 2021
Great service, very wonderful officiant
Pam was very professional, caring and amazing. Her performance goes above and beyond a job title. She genuinely cares about other people and their wants, needs and feelings. Such a magnetic personality on a woman. Melinda February 2021
Pam was amazing I can’t thank her enough for such an amazing outstanding job she did. She was on time and prompt. She can tell I was nervous and my anxiety was up and she some how managed to make me feel more relaxed. By far the best ceremony. Emotions were definitely flowing that night. I would recommend Pam and her services to anyone. When it comes time to renew vows we will be using her again Chris February 2021
Awesome LGBT wedding
Pam was awesome from start to finish. LGBT couple & she made us feel at ease. Jordan May 2020
Very special day!
Pam was extremely attentive, creative and kind. A genuine and loving wedding officiant. I will never forget my special day! Her suggestions when asked for were spot on to me. I could not be more grateful for the services provided. Cesar July 2020
The Absolute Best !
Pamela made everything so easy for us, she sent us different vow options to choose from. She made everyone cry and made our wedding super memorable. She is so great and willing to work with you and include anything you ask her to. Ashley C Nov 2020
Pam was the perfect fit for our wedding celebration. From the beginning of planning until after the ceremony was completed. She was more than willing to help suggest vendors, locations & any arrangements she could help with.
Being a destination wedding, we were able to sort everything out over email or phone prior too. A few days before the wedding we were finally able to meet in person. She brought fantastic energy & ideas for us to conclude all the final details.
Pam made all of our family & friends feel welcome & included. She knew exactly how to include my husbands son so he felt involved & well loved at the wedding.
The wedding ran almost an hour late & she never once made us feel badly about the situation. She kept everyone calm & took care of a few pictures while everyone waited. Every guest commented on how fantastic the ceremony was, how personal it was & how well Pam made everything fit so perfectly.
I would highly recommend Pam to anyone getting married in the area. She brings great energy & love to all those around her. Thank you very much Pam! Janelle Feb 2021
Pam was absolutely lovely to deal with and she fit in perfectly. She is very personable and we enjoyed her respect for nature. She will adjust your ceremony to your own personal beliefs and style. She also includes a rehearsal which we were very grateful you to keep everyone organized. We are so thankful to have found Pam! Jenna Jan 2020
We were thrilled with our ceremony. Pamela sat us down and talked us through the process. She gladly incorporated our requests and involved our mothers. It was a truly special day! BJ and Luis Nov 2019
With the wedding only being 9 days away, my now husband and I had to find someone new to marry us. Pam responded so quickly to my request and was able to make a worried bride feel at ease. She made our ceremony so unique and special.She went above and beyond our expectations. So many of our guest commented on how beautiful, emotional and unique our ceremony was. We are so glad we intrust Pam to make it perfect for us. We highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Pam, you truly are a blessing!! Jessica Nov 2019
Pam is just wonderful. Perfect! She really personalizes the ceremony and tailors it to exactly what you want. She really wants to make your day special. Jan Nov 2019
Pamela did an amazing job at our wedding. She was warm, well-spoken and respectful to everyone. Even though it was her birthday she still accommodated our wedding. She incorporated and acknowledged everyone in the wedding. We both received lots of compliments from our guests after the event about her. We would highly recommend her. Mark and David Oct 2019
Beautiful ceremony where we had the best advice to tailor it so it felt like it was all “ours” John August 2019
Pamela was fantastic! We were looking for something quick and easy after getting married in Greece last year and we were looking to make it official in the states. Pamela is willing to make this as personal and sentimental as you’d like and is very accommodating. David June 2019
We hired Pam as the JOP for our December wedding and were so happy with how great everything turned out. Pam had offered some ideas when we met for or meet n’ greet based on the questions she asked when getting to know us and they were so unique from the other weddings we’d been to before. We chose to do a unity sand ceremony that included our (bride and groom) mothers and our 18 month old. It was really very sweet! We also chose to do a Chrystal/Stone blessing where all of our guests chose a stone/Chrystal representing different energies that we wanted for our marriage. They held the stone and “charged” it with their blessings and energy throughout the ceremony. We had a small wedding so it was a great way for us to connect with our family and friends. Lastly, we chose a knot tying ceremony that included our son as well. The event was personal and thoughtful. I appreciated that Pam met with me beforehand to check in and see how I was doing. I was very happy that we chose Pam and all her wonderful suggestions! Jenifer Married 2016 review updated June 2019
Pamela was simply amazing, responsive, worked with us at hyper speed, and despite many changes from us she captured the spirit of what we wanted perfectly. She truly cares about the importance of the ceremony for each partner and wove our wishes into it seamlessly blending traditional with unique. Eric May 2019
Pam was absolutely incredible on our special day, we cannot say enough. She took the initiative of getting to know us by meeting up before hand and counseling us on the process, to being so open minded and willing to perform our Asatru themed hand-fasting ceremony! She took the time to learn the older Norse traditions that we wanted to incorporate and made it something so deeply special and beautiful. Pam also took it a step further and took so many fantastic pictures that turned out stunning! We will remember that day for the rest of our lives and we were blessed that she could be a part of it and turn it into something so ethereal. Highly recommend this officiant! Amber May 2019
Pamela was so nice and amazing, she did a great job. I didn’t regret I choose her as our wedding officiant. She made our wedding a memorable one. She even took photos and sent it us later. I would definitely recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Pam. Me and my husband were so happy for your service. Aiza April 2019

Hands down, you want to have Pam officiate your wedding. Pam is so sweet and such a down to earth person. She’s very super flexible to work with my schedule and help coordinate and work with the team of people. The wedding ceremony was for 70 guest and the ceremony was touching and beautiful. She helped my friends who were new at photographing weddings get some good photos. All around I’m so glad we hired her to officiate the wedding. Pam October 2017
Pam is an absolute sweetheart and a total pro. I met her when she officiated my friend’s wedding and when it was time for my own wedding, I tracked her down so she could do ours! ☺️
Her laid-back attitude and genuine care for our success is exactly what we needed. , I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Thanks Pam! 💛 Zack May 2017
Pam made everything perfect for my wedding thank you so so much. I recommend her to anybody that wants to have the perfect words at there wedding. Thanks again Pam. Michelle and Sammy, February 2017
Pam was honestly like a member of our family that day. Although we only met in advance once before the day of the wedding, that time we spent sitting down together made us already feel like old friends. It’s hard to imagine our wedding being as memorable or as moving without Pam or her special touches to the ceremony. Lauren February 2017
Amazing ceremony. Hard to find someone so open-minded these days. Simply the Best we would, will and have recommend Pamela to all our friends and family. Spencer April 2016
She did an amazing job. She made our ceremony very special and definitely a very memorable one. All of our guests complimented the service and it definitely wouldn’t have been the same without her as our officiant. Candice March 2016
Pam was exceptional. She helped in so many ways on my wedding day. We met her once prior to the ceremony and she knew exactly what to say during our ceremony. We didn’t have a traditional ceremony. We incorporated a few different traditions and she was willing to accommodate all of them. She even took the time to research a few of our traditions. She truly is a blessing and I am so thankful I found her as well as met her. She is amazing person. Saunya March 2016
We contacted Pam with only a 24 hours notice before the intended ceremony time. Not only did she spend over an hour on the phone with me discussing the local areas and providing professional insight, but she provided a personalized set of vows to help us craft our ceremony to fit our personalities. She was very flexible and helped to create a magical experience for me and my wife. Thanks, Pam. We couldn’t have done it without you! Derek February 2016
Pam was absolutely amazing!!! From the moment we met her she exceeded our expectations. She asked so many questions about us and what we wanted. She incorporated our love of offroading into our wedding vows. She also included our children as well. I would highly recommend Pam to anyone getting married! Kim C December 2015
Pam is a sweet, friendly lady who felt more like she was part of our family than someone we hired to officiate our wedding. She was very responsive, helpful and patient with us. After the wedding, multiple people commented that she officiated our wedding beautifully. Thank you Pam! Alexia November 2017
I couldn’t have asked for a better Officiant to perform my wedding vows. All I can say is Pam is the best and I would recommend her to anybody. Nina R. September 2015
“Mrs. Pamela was more than amazing. We really felt comfortable with her. She was such a sweetheart and attentive. Thanks Mrs.P xoxoxo 🙂 Aujalen A August 2015
Pam insisted on meeting us before the wedding so that she could get to know us and personalize our ceremony. She goes above and beyond what is required of her, so if you are looking for a unique ceremony, I highly recommend her. If you are looking for a boilerplate wedding with minimal intrusion, you should look elsewhere. It is obvious that she officiates weddings because she loves doing it and loves meeting people, not for quick cash. Christie D. January 2015
