Choosing Patrice Handley as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, she truly understood the depth of our commitment and brought it to life with such warmth, insight, and grace.

Garden Wedding at the Rosewood Miramar

“We had no idea our marriage ceremony would end up being one of the most important highlights of our wedding day at the Rosewood resort in Santa Barbara.
