    Great commissioner that was very flexible

    Carl was great to work with in terms of mapping out the day, especially with some intricacies that needed to be followed on my family's behalf. Carl was great with ironing out all the details leading up to the day. On the day of, he was fantastic at carrying the conversation and really making an impact on the ceremony.

    Canmore Elopement 10/10 recommend

    Was amazing to work with Carl and Sarah. We contacted them with short notice for an elopement, and they responded fast and enthusiastically. They were great at guiding us with what documents and information were needed for the wedding date. They were in contact with us until the date of, and Carl showed up earlier to discuss the process, fill out the paperwork and ask us for our preferences. Straight up to the preferred pronouns. It was a beautiful ceremony, well worded and moved our guests to tears. We were worried about not memorizing our lines for the ceremony, but he led us beautifully and seamlessly. We highly recommend working with Carl. It was an amazing experience.

    Definitely Suggest

    Great commissioner who kept our ceremony nice and short. Would just have asked that he arrived maybe a little earlier as he only got there ten minutes before the ceremony.

    Don’t try to book if you want to have peace of mind for your wedding date

    The communication between myself and Carl’s wife Susan was extremely unprofessional. I reached out with an email and through their website booking form and heard no response for weeks. When I reached out again through a phone call, Susan asked me to send another email and she would get back to me. She acknowledged receipt of the email and that Carl was available to officiate on our wedding day, and then all further communication was nonexistent. No follow up as promised. Nothing to ease my mind to confirm we had someone to officiate for our date. Don’t waste your time… weeks, months, trying to get a response from them, they don’t seem interested in being reliable and consistent which is important for anyone anticipating a special event.

    Perfect Wedding

    Thoroughly professional, Carl’s laid back demeanour was perfect for our small, intimate, low key wedding. He travelled to Lake Louise to perform the ceremony, was there in ample time, found a perfect location and performed a relaxed, fun ceremony. He was adaptable, we asked for a hand fasting ceremony to celebrate our Celtic roots. A genuinely nice, thoughtful person, he made our wedding a perfect day to remember. I would highly recommend Carl’s services.
