Experience
Their team of professional, trusted and friendly officiants have been performing wedding ceremonies for over 25 years. They have helped thousands of couples enjoy the process of imaging creating and celebrating their personal ceremony. The couples they work with know that their ceremony will be reflection of their personalities and a celebration of their love.
My husband and I found Enduring Promises from the Bridal Show 2 years ago. We talked to one of the officiants there and really had a connection, we knew right there and then we needed him. He worked with us and explained everything we needed and what our responsibilities were. As the day got closer we found out we unfortunately couldn’t have him on our day due to circumstances. I told him I needed to request someone who was very similar to him, personable, funny, amazing. He said he had the right person in mind, and she was available. Her name is Angela. We got into contact right away and she seemed very sweet and personable. Exactly what we needed. (Were not a traditional couple. Huge kids at heart). Angela kept in contact with me a lot and helped me with all my silly last-minute questions and concerns. When it came to the rehearsal she was on point and even asked "do you mind if I take charge" I was all for that. She too charge. Told everyone where to go and what to do. She explained everything amazingly and just knew what to say and do. Everything went amazingly & smoothly and she was perfect. When the day came. Angela was there, made sure everyone knew where they were going and made it very comfortable. Which is really big for me as I suffer from high anxiety and OCD at the same time where if things don’t go smoothly it acts up. Angela was so comforting and professional. She made the ceremony fun and ours. She knew exactly how we were and went with it. I really don’t think it could of gone any better if we went with any other company.
When it comes to Enduring Promises itself, and their website. It is very easy to use. You write your on ceremony and make it your own. There are many examples and ideas they give you if you’d like to use them. We went on the fun side for ours and put a little Star Wars and Marvel into it as that’s us and our interests. It was very simple to put all you want into each area of the ceremony and with no issues. You can go back and forth as many times as you want, until you decide on the final words. I highly recommend using Enduring Promises & would definitely recommend Angela as well.
I thank you Angela & Enduring Promises for giving my husband and I the best ceremony we asked for. I truly don’t think Angela could of done anything else to make it better.

We had the perfect ceremony.
Our officiant was Bryan Manuel from Enduring Promises. Throughout our engagement he worked with us to design our ceremony to be exactly what we wanted. He was very responsive and quickly answered all of our questions. He was also so friendly. He came to our rehearsal and kept everything organized and got everyone on the same page.
Enduring Promises has an online ceremony builder that gives a lot of suggestions on how to structure your ceremony and options on what to include. It is all completely customizable and Bryan was great at giving suggestions, but ultimately allowing us to have free reign and get whatever we wanted. We ended up having the perfect ceremony for us because of Bryan and Enduring Promises.

Sharon McKenley gave us a truly magical experience.
A review for Officiant Sharon McKenley of Enduring Promises.
We flew in from London Toronto on the 23rd December 2019 to marry on 30th December.
Tom and I had already arranged an Officiant in Toronto from a site recommended by our hotel before leaving the UK a month previously but found the Officiant we had engaged was not quite what we needed. With only 5 days to our marriage ceremony date, we took the risk on seeing if could find someone very special at short notice from Enduring Promises...then prayed...
Quite honestly to our surprise, we were contacted almost immediately and we stipulated to the manager, a lovely lady, exactly what we felt we both wanted and needed to make our day that much more memorable and meaningful.
The manager recommended Sharon McKenley with whom we had the most heartfelt moving conversation. Sharon asked us to tell her in detail exactly how we met and why we fell in love... she listened patiently... Sharon's response left me in tears as it would seem that even though it may seem as straightforward to others, she truly empathised and showed us that she was one who absolutely believes in the power of love and how precious it is.
Sharon is a true minister of Faith, never discussing any specific denomination but just the importance of our Faith itself. Sharon McKenley is very sincere, genuine, kind and patient with a voice like silk and words of tender reassurance. I was impressed by her air of grace and dignity without judgement, and her very obvious elegance.
Sharon made our wedding feel both divine and magical all at once. I had to remark that Sharon was very much like the perfect fairy godmother one would wish portrayed in our favourite magical children tales. This may seem a little fantastical to a reader but I assure you that this was no fantasy to us - she simply was so much more than we could have hoped for.
Thank you Sharon with all our hearts and the deepest gratitude.

Beautiful Ceremony
We had originally come across Enduring Promises during an open house event at Black Creek Pioneer Village. What really piqued our interest with them and eventually lead us to book with them was the ceremony console.
My husband and I are really happy with the fact that the console provided many examples to choose from and the ability to fully customize our own ceremony to match our individual personalities. The only thing I would improve is the ability/option to highlight specific words, sentences, parts, etc., within each of the text boxes for further ease of use and efficiency in communication between the couple and the officiant.
From contacting Enduring Promises to choosing our officiant, everything was smooth and easy. After filling out the contact form on their website, enduring promises’ coordinator had reached out to us within 24 hours with a list of a few officiants that would be a good match for our civil wedding requirements.
From the list of 4 - 5 officiant’s, we had chosen Ron Shantz as his profile and bio has interested us and we felt that he best matched our personalities. Booking our consultation and meeting with Ron was very easy and he was always responsive to our questions or concerns. We appreciated his suggestions (especially regarding the rehearsal) and he was a great help reducing our stress and making our special day enjoyable. Our guest felt that the ceremony was beautifully curated and executed.
Thank you Enduring Promises and Ron for making our special day memorable. The amazing reviews we have seen online are well granted and we would definitely recommend booking with Enduring Promises and Ron Shantz.
