We really can't thank Patrick and Stacy enough. There wasn't one single thing from our wedding ceremony that wasn't exactly what we always imagined! We used SJWPs for several things including the officiant, chair rental, music, arch rental and photography. Patrick and Stacy are total professionals while making the day fun. We had so many compliments from our friends and family about both of them. Just a huge thank you again for all you did! The day truly was absolute perfection!! read more

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Stacy and Patrick for our picnic elopement and not only were they a joy to work with, but their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm for creating magical moments made our day perfect. With the weather forecast predicting thunderstorms on our original date, Patrick took the initiative to reschedule our ceremony, ensuring that we had clear skies and the perfect golden hour setting for our ceremony and photoshoot. The ceremony was just what we dreamed up, and made both of us tear up at times! We also just got our photos back and they are so beautiful. We could not be happier with our whole experience and 100% recommend the South Jersey Wedding Pros to anyone looking for wedding. elopement or photography services in the area! Thank you so much for making our day perfect xo read more

Going through the process of a wedding ceremony was easy with South Jersey Wedding Pros. Even when we had to change locations of the ceremony and the party size many times. They were very quick and reliable. Patrick created the perfect atmosphere during the ceremony. read more

I want to thank you tobSouth Jersey Officiant for making our wedding day as special as possible I cant wait to see our photographs they were very considerant and attentive the whole entire time. I was able to have a small ceremony which was perfect for these times. read more

Choosing a wedding officiant you've never met/spoken was scary, SJ Officiants had great reviews so we took a leap of faith.. and it paid off!!! From the beginning, the quality of customer service and organization was very high. Most questions were already answered in their materials, and when a concern did arise they would respond promptly and professionally. They offered so many options of vows and readings, you could easily personalize the ceremony. The best part though is how personable and welcoming Chaplain Patrick was as he was leading our ceremony. My husband and I were very impressed with how special he made it. Our families (not always easy to please) were amazed at how well he seemed to know us as a couple and that he prepared a wedding ceremony that perfectly matched our style. He and Stacy were a joy to deal with... a source of calm with helpful suggestions. We included photography in our package and our pictures are beautiful!!! So much more than we expected at this price point. And we were only married a week ago... and already have the pics! I can't say enough great things about SJO. 100% Recommend. - Amanda & Dan, Cherry Hill read more

My husband and I eloped using South Jersey Officiants last year. It was the best secret coffee shop wedding a couple could ask for. It was professional and friendly and I would highly recommend them to someone who wants to go the route that we did. We also realized the week before the wedding date that the day was my divorced parents anniversary and they were more than willing to move the day to the following week. Absolutely recommend. read more

We love Chaplain Patrick! He officiated our marriage and recently our vow renewal on 9/15/18. He did an amazing job, the ceremony was so meaningful and heartfelt. I think we enjoyed our vow renewal ceremony more than the original lol! He really tailors it to you as an individual couple, it didn't feel like a generic cliche ceremony that could be used for any wedding. Our guests just couldn't say enough positive things about him and the ceremony! He also still had record of our original vows so we didn't have to dig them up. :) He and Stacy were always very quick to respond to any questions and were so helpful with the whole process. We just can't recommend him enough, you truly won't be disappointed! read more

I wanted to have a small wedding ceremony but did not want to give up any of the details of a traditional wedding. I used SJO for an elopement package and felt like I got the best of both worlds. I got my dream wedding with 20 guests on the beach. SJO was there to answer all of my questions along the way which was the most important thing to me as an anxious bride. We customized our ceremony but Chaplain Patrick added his own endearing touches that made the ceremony even more special. I got many compliments from my guests saying he was very personable which they loved! I highly recommend SJO for an officiant service read more

I must say for never meeting Patrick or Stacy prior to the wedding day, it was absolutely flawless. Everything that we had discussed and decided on in months worth of emails, even last minute add ons and changes all came to life. I had soooo many questions in the 6 months of planning and I felt like I was the most annoying bride to be that ever existed. But Patrick and Stacy were so professional and ensured me that I was not the worst bride ever and they calmed me so much during this whole process. And I'm sure some of my questions were probably really silly. Patrick is an awesome, amazing officiant and so much more. My guests were talking about him for days after my wedding about how full of life he was and not a serious stiff dude. But instead very entertaining and down to earth. The tone of his voice, personality and attentiveness brought the ceremony I dreamt of to life. Stacy and Patrick are absolutely amazing at what they do. Every single thing I wanted and my now husband wanted, they made sure it happened. On the morning of our wedding I was freaking out, Patrick came to my room before my ceremony to check in on me and give me the rundown. I'm telling y'all if you are looking to get married within a budget and looking for a smaller more intimate gathering, Stacy and Patrick at South Jersey Officiants is the way to go, I promise you are in good hands and will be floored on what they can put together. Thank you Stacy and Patrick for an amazing affordable experience. Patricia and Joseph. read more

Chaplain Patrick and SJO are the best! My husband and I are so happy with how everything turned out and we have been receiving so many positive comments from our wedding guests raving about the ceremony and Chaplain Patrick. Before booking with SJO, my husband and I had an hour-long Facetime meeting with Chaplain Patrick to make sure he was a good fit. We knew within the first five minutes that he was the person meant to officiate our wedding ceremony. He truly took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for in our ceremony. He also provided a number of recommendations that we incorporated into our wedding. He truly did a phenomenal job. Once we decided to move forward with SJO, communication, booking and payment were all handled online, making the whole process super convenient. We are so appreciative of Chaplain Patrick and all he did to help us have our best day ever. I can't recommend him enough! read more

My wife and I knew that finding the right person to officiate our wedding would be an important decision that we had to make. We also knew it wouldn't be the easiest choice. I'm a Jewish Giants fan and my wife is a Catholic Eagles fan. We've always operated under a loving theory of mutually assured respect for each other's traditions and decided early on that we wouldn't feel comfortable with either of our respective family's traditions. That's fine, given our emphasis on breaking through the cliché. Our wedding was going to be held in South Jersey at Valenzano Winery. However, neither of us had ties to the area. Luckily, our caterer suggested we reach out to South Jersey Officiant . After making initial contact with South Jersey Officiants and some preliminary e-mails, we set up an appointment via Facetime to speak with Reverend Yvonne. She spent an hour just talking with us, getting to know our story and what makes us tick. Knowing our love for wine, Reverend Yvonne suggested we have a wine blending ceremony. We fell in love with the idea right away. After that our Facetime meeting, we mostly communicated via e-mail as she helped lay out the plan for the ceremony. Despite my wife and I both being attorneys, neither of us had any idea of the registration requirements for the Certificate of marriage. Reverend Yvonne had our back guiding us through the process. Likewise, we were provided with helpful suggestions for readings and vows. On the big day, Reverend Yvonne made our ceremony pure magic. She hit all the right notes...from the sensitive to the silly... that made our ceremony beyond our expectations. You wouldn't know that we had first spoken to Reverend Yvonne less than three months prior to our ceremony. Her insight into us was uncanny to say the least. Reverend Yvonne's warmth and intuition made it feel like she had known us for years. She gave us a truly personal ceremony that was absolutely "us." My friends and family couldn't agree more. As a funny side note, I also found out that Reverend Yvonne would officiate the ceremony of one of my friends a week later. Without any reservation, we recommend South Jersey Officiants to help you take the leap into marriage. read more

We were above and beyond impressed with the service we received from Patrick. From day 1 he was informative, involved and genuine. Throughout the time of our first meeting until the wedding, Patrick kept in contact with us and made sure we knew every step we had to take for smooth sailing on the wedding day. Our guests all remarked how impressed they were with his avant guarde yet sweet and sentimental way of performing our ceremony. It was different, special and memorable - not only for us but for everyone with us for our special day. If you are looking for someone to help make your ceremony much more than your run of the mill, boring, when-is-this-going-to-be-over, ceremony - just stop looking and book Patrick now, before his calendar is full! read more

We cannot say enough great things about Patrick and South Jersey Officiants. We wanted our ceremony to be memorable and also include some humor. Patrick NAILED it. All of the guests were raving about the ceremony and our officiant. Not only was he an amazing officiant, he was a life saver a few times throughout the day - from helping us properly pin the guys boutonnieres to showing up early and making sure the ceremony room temperature was perfect. He was on top of his game and made our wedding day that much better, stress free and enjoyable. He took the edge off and made the day that more memorable. We highly recommend Patrick and South Jersey Officiants! -Jim and Amy read more
