Amazing Officiant

Martin officiated our fusion wedding and it was amazing! His planning meetings beforehand really helped us to feel comfortable with him and he was able to get our story as a couple just right! Since we had a fusion wedding, Martin was able to seamlessly incorporate both cultures’ traditions into our ceremony.
Martin’s flexibility with meeting times was appreciated as both my husband and I work 9-5’s. Martin was the perfect fit for us and was exactly what we needed. Also, all the information around the marriage license, certificate, etc. that he provided was extremely helpful.

Definitely recommend his services!

Awful Experience

I hired Martin to be my officiant and due to Covid I had to cancel my wedding. I gave Martin payment in full beforehand and even though I have given him 120+ days notice, he won't respond to my cancellation or return the $400+ that we paid. I know that there is a non-refundable deposit that is in the contract, but the remaining balance was paid in full. This is incredibly unprofessional of Martin to do and has really added a bad taste to the whole wedding process. He acted so nice and sweet when we interviewed him and yet this is how he treats us. I would avoid Martin and Ceremonies with Choice.

Poor communication. Abandoned.

We had high hopes for Martin but after paying our deposit, unfortunately our emails were (and continue to be) ignored. Our wedding was postponed to the following year due to Covid. We acknowledge that he did demonstrate some flexibility in rescheduling, but when we chose a new date for our venue that he was not available for, he became completely unreachable and unresponsive. After 2 months of being ignored, we received an email saying he could be "potentially available" for our new date. We had total loss of confidence in his professional communication at that point. He does seem like a pleasant officiant if things go according to plan but be forewarned that unforeseen or extenuating circumstances (like Covid) may result in you being abandoned.

Very friendly - Perfect choice for us!

Martin was an amazing officiant! Right off the bat, he offered to meet with us as many times as we wanted, which we really appreciated. He helped personalize our ceremony by getting to know us and our relationship. He made sure that the ceremony was adapted to something that was comfortable for us and reflected our families. He is so easy going and easy to talk to which helped calm our nerves on the day of. I would definitely recommend him!

Personal, heartfelt and funny!

We did the marriage preparation classes with Martin (recommend the classes!) and that led to us feeling very connected with him. Several of our guests asked how we knew him because they were convinced we were friends since he made the ceremony so personal and heartfelt. Our ceremony was tailored to us, our relationship and the values we wanted expressed during the ceremony. Martin made us laugh and cry and it was perfect.

Martin for the win!

Martin's natural warmth and charm perfectly augmented our casual-setting wedding day. He took time to get to know us as a couple to ensure that our ceremony was tailored to us. Martin also made the prep-work leading up to the day was so much fun. If you want your wedding officiant to be the perfect combo of fun, organized and caring, he's your guy.

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant

Martin was amazing. What I enjoyed most about Martin was he took the time to learn about our story and connect with us on a personal level. During the day of the wedding when all our nervousness was at their highest, Martin was very supportive and kept us calm during the whole thing. We really needed that. We enjoyed that he retold our story to give people the context of how we met and it made the ceremony really personal and warm. During the planning phase, he shared with us several templates for the ceremony structure and examples of past ceremonies. That helped us iron out the details lot quicker than looking up guides on our own. Thank you so much Martin. We'll never forget it.

People thought he was a family friend

We had Martin for our wedding and we are so happy he officiated our ceremony. He came by recommendation of our photographer. We planned our wedding out of province and Martin was very accommodating in meeting on facetime beforehand and also in person the times we were in town. He was very helpful in giving us a guide on how the flow of the ceremony and examples that we could pick and choose from if we liked, which took a lot of stress off. we knew were were in good hands with him. He got to know us during our visits and spoke such kind words during the ceremony. He talked with ease and created a relaxed yet intimate feel for the ceremony. Our parents told us that people were coming up to them after the ceremony asking if he was a family friend because of how genuine he was and how it seemed he had known us for a long time! We were truly lucky to have Martin for our ceremony.

Martin was fabulous

Martin was quite honestly amazing. He was accommodating with meeting times and venues, was willing to listen with an open heart and was kind enough to offer his own experiences as a means to learn. Martin worked with my husband and I to create a ceremony that celebrated our love, our way- and we could not have been happier. Thank you so very much Martin!

Charismatic & Professional

My husband and I didn't want to burden anyone in our family with "officiant duties", but neither of us knew what to expect when we decided to outsource such an important task. Martin was friendly, professional and full of energy each time we spoke. It was a pleasure working with him and we would absolutely recommend him for your next wedding!!
