Wedding

“Pat Werk recently married my husband and me. It was the 4th of July and a last-minute wedding by most planning standards. I connected with Pat on a level where I would consider her family. She made sure my partner and I were heard and fully understood for one of the most important days of our lives. She created a personalized ceremony we will forever cherish in our hearts. Even when it rained during our ceremony, Pat was quick to come to a solution that still led us to a happy and beauti […]

“Looking for a unique and memorable ceremony that will truly be your own? Look no further! We highly recommend Pat Werk as a wedding officiant. She prides herself in providing a ceremony that is personalized to the couple. You get to choose so much of what will be said and done. Our special moment featured a knot tying ritual which embodied our passion of the outdoors and rock climbing. Pat was excited to help us make that possible! She was so kind in preparing a personalized ceremony tha […]

“We found Koru Ceremony on The Knot and the reviews on this officiant service were spot on. We had the pleasure of working with Pat. She gave us exactly what we were looking for—something simple, yet meaningful. We met with Pat a couple of times via Zoom and she really puts her entire being into planning your perfect ceremony. Pat has been an amazing resource…everything from obtaining a marriage license to name change…Pat is an expert! We can’t say enough good th […]

It was a delight to officiate Savannah and Cody’s wedding last Friday after I got a call on Tuesday that Cody’s childhood pastor came down with Covid, and they wanted to know if I could fill in for him. In two days, we put together a beautiful that had even their photographer, Caitlin, at @caynayphoto crying. Here is what Savannah wrote to me in her thank you note: “Pat- I’m not sure there are words enough to thank you for jumping in this week to officiate! Not only of […]

Here is a review that Savannah posted on Wedding Wire, The Knot, and Google Business: “Pat was truly outstanding to work with! She took time and care to get to understand us, what was important in our relationship and what we wanted our wedding ceremony to look and feel like. The result was truly the […]

Kristen and Danny’s wedding on Sunday at one of my favorite venues, The Eloise in Mt. Horeb, was so much fun to officiate. I always love telling the couple’s love story, and their proposal, in particular, was an amusing story to share with their guests. I also loved their wedding flowers. Their use of zinnias, coneflowers, cosmos, […]
