When you’re personalizing every other aspect of your wedding, your ceremony should be no different. It should be fun, meaningful, engaging and be all about the both of you! That way, you, your family and friends will enjoy every minute of it and remember how great it was for years to come.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place!

Customized
Not your average ceremony
Working together in a one-hour workshop, we’ll customize every detail of your ceremony - how everyone enters, where they stand, what your vows look like, how rings are exchanged. Is there a special ritual you’d like to include? Let’s do it! Do you have a special poem or spiritual reading in mind? No problem! Or just looking for something beautifully focused on your love story? Sounds perfect!
Memorable
Something to talk about
As a couple, you are unique, so we can’t just use a stock script and generic ceremony. I’ll tell your story - from how you met through to the proposal. They’ll laugh, they’ll cry. They’ll look back on this as one of the most touchingly personal weddings they’ve ever attended - and so will you!
Official
It’s legal and easy
You don’t want any unexpected surprises with your wedding ceremony. As a registered officiant, licensed to solemnize marriages in Ontario, I’ll not only lead you through the key part of your big day, but I’ll also handle all the paperwork, and file your marriage with the province. You’ll just need to acquire your marriage licenses. It’s as easy as that.
Andy was our officiant for our vow renewals and he was absolutely amazing! From day one, Andy was easy to work with and on top of things. He made a great impression with us and our wedding guest with his humor. We loved the couple's story he crafted for us. We highly recommend his service!!
Andy was great, he made us feel comfortable since we were quite nervous. He is excellent at what he does and he would not hesitate to go above and beyond in order to ensure that the couple is at ease with the entire ceremony.
Andy was born to perform weddings. He has a genuine and warm approach to helping a couple celebrate their love that is truly special... not to mention an attention to detail that really made our ceremony (and prep) fun instead of stressful. You want Andy to preside over your big day.. you won't regret it!
