"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - I Corinthians 13.
These are the words of my life and my work. Hello, I am Rev. Patrick. Working with couples for over 20 years as a Virginia Wedding Officiant, this has been my foundation of Christian Belief. The human relationship between two people can get so complicated without this message. Growing, healing, forgiving, trusting.... all the elements of a successful marriage!
I have been a Virginia Beach Native since 1996. I work with couples from all walks of belief, tradition, and orientation. Most couples have locations and venues I can travel to throughout Hampton Roads and the Peninsula. For Elopement style weddings, I often seek out special places near the beach and wooded areas couples can come to for a more private ceremony.
The ceremony is written with you in mind, what we discuss is important to you, and who it involves ( children, etc. ). Unity Rituals such as Communion, Hand Fasting, and Unity Candle are welcome and available. Together, we'll design the wedding script and rituals that best define you as a couple. I often encourage couples to write special personal vows to one another.
Tailored wedding scripts that capture your unique relationship, meaningful to you.
Offers a seamless way to broadcast weddings live, allowing loved ones who can't attend to share in your special day from anywhere in the world.
Recommendations for serene, intimate settings perfect for elopements or small gatherings in the Hampton Roads area.
Ensure your big day runs smoothly with a guided rehearsal, helping everyone feel confident and prepared.

Every ceremony is designed & crafted to reflect your love story.

Reverend Patrick Byrd did an absolutely amazing job officiating our wedding. The multiple meetings prior, and extreme attention to detail, ensured a seamless ceremony for my now-wife and me. Patrick is very friendly, and a real pleasure to work with. He truly knows how to take the stress out of wedding planning. Would recommend him to anyone for their big day! Thanks Patrick!

Reverend Byrd performed our ceremony when Tropical Storm Nicole was near Virginia Beach and there was lots of rain and wind. I really wanted married outside and on the beach. As soon as he arrived. I said it's not raining. Can we do it now? He immediately went outside and performed the ceremony beautifully.
★★★★★
If you want to feel comfortable with your officiate then we recommend Rev. Byrd. He is very calm and caring to talk to. We arranged to meet at the Cavalier and be married on the beach, he was punctual and pleasant for it being super early ( sunrise service ) lol and professional.

We are from out of town and were nervous when choosing an officiant and Dj. Patrick put us at ease and was all around amazing. From our first conversation to our special day, he accommodated any of our random requests and was always quick to respond! Everything ran smoothly!
