    Great experience!

    My wife and I recently had the pleasure of having Raymond Cross officiate our wedding ceremony, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience.
    Raymond took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it truly showed during the ceremony. His words were beautifully crafted, capturing the essence of our relationship in a way that was both heartfelt and personal. He struck the perfect balance between creating a meaningful ceremony and incorporating elements of humor that resonated with our personalities.
    Not only did Raymond guide us through the entire process with grace and ease, but he also made sure that the ceremony reflected our values and beliefs. He was flexible, accommodating, and attentive to every detail, ensuring that our special day was exactly as we envisioned it.
    Our guests couldn't stop raving about how wonderful the ceremony was, and many specifically mentioned Raymond and his eloquent and heartfelt delivery. We feel incredibly grateful to have had Raymond as a part of our wedding day, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond to make their ceremony unforgettable.
    Thank you, for being the perfect officiant and making our wedding day so magical!

    Excellent Service

    Ray did an excellent job as our wedding officiant. He provided plenty of good advice, and was very easy to work with. Access to the Bride's Candy Store helped us to craft a custom ceremony. Ray helped us to feel confident everything would work well. Diane's presence as coordinator was comforting to the bride. We are very pleased with the Christian wedding service Ray delivered and highly recommend him.

    Brides Choice Officiant's reply:

    Throughout the process of working on your wedding I couldn't have been more pleased. We had a vision and the vision revealed itself with great precision yet we had fun doing it. What more could an officiant hope for?

    Amazing & wonderful!

    My Husband & I had the pleasure working with Rev Ray Cross! He is amazing, he made everyone feel comfortable & at the right time brought in some great humour, all my family & friends thought he was the best they have ever met, myself & my husband couldn't have asked for a better human to marry us! We can describe him as a happy, loving, excited individual with a zest for life! from day one of meeting with him up until the important day he made sure everything ran smoothly & just as they should, he was great with last minute changes and add ons. He is exactly who me and my husband wanted and needed to complete our wedding!! I would 100 times over and over recommend Reverend Ray Cross! What a wonderful man to have apart of our big moment with us! Thank you again Rev Ray!

    Brides Choice Officiant's reply:

    Amanda, you and David and all of your friends and family were a pleasure to work with beginning to end. Your rehearsal went so smoothly and your ceremony was an absolute delight. Thank you so much for the honour of serving as your wedding officiant.

    Married us at my now husbands mothers home

    The plan was to have our wedding at my husband’s mother’s bed side as she was terminally ill. Unfortunately she passed 10 days before the wedding. Ray delivered an honorary statement at the beginning of the ceremony that was perfect. He also had some nice humour throughout. Everyone enjoyed the ceremony.

    Brides Choice Officiant's reply:

    Laura,
    Your home wedding had all the warmth and quality of a much larger ceremony. I was honoured to be part of your special day.

    Couldn't be happier!

    Ray was our officiant at our wedding recently and we couldn't have been happier with the service he gave! Ray has a way of making all your guests feel involved in the ceremony instead of just being read to. He includes some fun commentary to lighten the mood and never fails to get a chuckle from the crowd. Ray is lovely to work with and it was our pleasure to create our ceremony with him. We will never forget how special he made our day!

    Brides Choice Officiant's reply:

    Every wedding ceremony is special to me - its just the way I approach every one. From beginning to end you gave me so much to work with - a pleasure to make your ceremony sparkle. I sure enjoyed the hot bar as well - hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream - spoiled for sure on a cool day. Thank you!

    Perfect Choice for our Day

    We couldn’t have hoped for a better officiant than Ray. From start to finish, he was always available for guidance and was truly a pleasure to work with throughout. He was a hit at our ceremony, and a huge part in making our special day so special. We can’t thank you enough Ray!

    Brides Choice Officiant's reply:

    I enjoyed everyone at your wedding. They were so responsive and you were likewise. Weddings where everyone is in the mood and upbeat are wonderful to lead. Thank you for the privilege!

    Wonderful experience with Ray

    We booked Ray as our officiant for our wedding this past September, and were very happy with the service he provided. He was very detailed and organized leading up to the day, and we found his online guide very helpful when determining the type of ceremony we wanted. We did a rehearsal in advance and Ray made sure everyone knew their role to ensure everything went smoothly for us on our wedding day. Thank you, Ray!

    Brides Choice Officiant's reply:

    To be honest, I have never officiated a wedding with a wedding processional that included a simulated canoe paddled up the aisle by two engineers. A launch like that make leading a lively ceremony sooo easy. Thank you for the privilege of participating in such an incredible wedding!!

    Great Job Ray!

    We recently had the pleasure of having Rev. Ray Cross officiate our wedding and he did an exceptional job. Ray was a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process. He was charming, humorous and allowed us to tailor our ceremony the way we wanted. Thank you Ray for helping make our day so special.
