Kathleen V. Married on 12/08/2022A warm & calming presence on what can be a stressful day
Nick officiated our wedding in August of 2022 and he was such a pleasure to work with. He gave us the confidence that everything would go smoothly on our day and really catered the experience to us as people and the tone we were trying to set for our wedding day. He answered emails very quickly and met with us over zoom calls before the ceremony. Once we were standing up there, he had such a calming presence it was easy to tune out the stress of the situation and focus on my partner. Thank you, Nick!Dr. Nick Overduin - Wedding Officiant's reply:
Thanks so much for this lovely review. You guys were great, and the setting was very romantic. An unforgettable day!! -

Neha Married on 04/07/2020Absolutely amazing!
Nick was a pleasure to work with. He was very accommodating when we had to postpone our ceremony a couple times due to various reasons. Our wedding was cancelled in May due to Covid so we had a small backyard ceremony which Nick officiated. He was so kind and friendly, it didn't feel like we met him for the first time. Also, he followed all social distancing protocols and ensured we had a safe but fun wedding. He was very communicative throughout the process and answered all my questions. Highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for an officiant! We couldn't have gotten married without him during these Covid times and I'd be forever grateful he was able to marry us. Thank you Nick!! -

Ashish G. Married on 25/04/2020Courteous, Professional & Flexible
Nick was kind enough to come to our apartment to hold our wedding according to the provincial and federal rules of social distancing. Apart from that, he was very courteous and ensured that everyone present (people attending virtually included) were able to hear everything clearly and participate. He is organized and very flexible if you communicate clearly. I would highly recommend him for any wedding ceremony as he is very reliable! -

Matthew R. Married on 19/04/2020A warm welcome to starting our new life together
Having Dr. Nick be our officiant during the difficult time of COVID-19 was a warm welcome to starting our new life together. Dr. Nick was very professional and together we made the proper arrangements to handle the social distancing requirements outlined by the government for COVID-19. When he arrived, his warm character reassured us that this was a moment we would share for the rest of our lives. I would 100% recommend Dr. Nick for anyone requiring an officiant. -

In short, I'm a semi-retired clergyman who has successfully worked with hundreds of individuals and families. Please visit my website for more detailed information about my professional background.
I earned my Doctorate in Philosophy at Trent University But, don’t worry, I never have and don’t plan to ever sound like an absent-minded philosopher!
I am never in a hurry. I have no personal agenda or beliefs to promote. Your point of view is the only thing that matters.
You may wonder, why are you doing this work, Nick? Thanks for asking the question. I have loved working in the churches and organizations I have served, including as a university chaplain. At age 63, I now wish to focus most of my time on academic work. But, I do still feel very passionate about meeting people at the most important times of their lives. That is why I continue to officiate at weddings and funerals.
