About
I’m Patrice Handley, and I’d be thrilled to talk to you about your plans and ideas, as well as hearing all about your “Love Story.” With over 16 years of experience, I’ve officiating hundreds of weddings for couples from all over the world who come to Santa Barbara, the Santa Barbara Courthouse, the Santa Ynez Valley, and Ojai to be married; and my many reviews for Santa Barbara Classic Weddings reflect my dedication.
I specialize in creating ceremonies which are as heartfelt as they are fun, always bringing warmth and joyfulness. We would collaborate together, especially by your selections from my vast collection of Poems, Readings, Blessings and Vows. Whether you’re planning a cozy, intimate celebration or a larger affair, I would create a personalized marriage ceremony that reflects what you have found together. A vellum-covered Keepsake Booklet is a favorite of all couples – in includes everything said at the ceremony!
I would be happy to consult with you on the best way to apply for your Marriage License and Marriage Certificate. And an added benefit: a list of my favorite vendors list which includes many wonderful local wedding professionals: musicians, planners, photographers, DJs, etc.
Together, we would create a memorable and meaningful ceremony that truly celebrates your commitment and the joy of building a life together. I am an officiant who “Loves Love,” and I would be truly honored to be chosen to officiate your marriage!
