Enduring Promises made it incredibly easy to meet an officiant that we connected with, create a beautiful ceremony based on a huge variety of templates, easily customize what we wanted, and overall make the most important part of our wedding day amazing! Within a couple days of meeting Enduring Promises we had a few officiants to choose from that matched our personality as a couple and by the end of the week we met with and confirmed our officiant. We had David Blow as our officiant and he was fantastic! He answered emails within an hour, consulted with us on our ceremony, came early and performed a beautiful ceremony for us. I also loved the ease of online payments in only two installments. Amazing experience that I would recommend to all future couples!

Very flexible ceremony
I emailed my officiant last minute to change something and he did right away! Extremely flexible for the traditional and non-traditional wedding.

Enduring Promises
I connected with Enduring Promises via their website (which was really easy to navigate). They immediately put me in touch with Blair who was fantastic. He was flexible and had a calming presence during the ceremony. It felt like an old friend coming to marry us which helped us feel so much more relaxed. His words were beautiful and we were so happy with how everything turned out. Blair, you were wonderful!

Thank you for your kind words, Cassie.
That is one of the nicest compliments I have ever had. I really enjoyed meeting your family and sharing this special moment with you and Jordan and of course, your newborn. We wish your family all the best for years to come.

Caring Staff & Professional Services
We had been communicating with Angela and Ron shortly before our ceremony. We were both impressed by their kindness, patience, and professionalism. They made the whole process simple and successful without the rehearsal. We'd like to express our special appreciation for them and Weddingwire to accommodate us in these unusual times. We hope you find peace as we do. Best wishes to your company!

Loved Brian Manuel for our wedding ceremony!
Brian was excellent to work with. He made us feel calm and confident on our big day, and the wedding website was so helpful to work with. Brian is clearly very experienced with doing ceremonies and now does this full time! He helped personalize everything for us including custom vows. Overall we had a great day!! Our wedding was October 16, 2020 during Covid-19 and he ensured everything went well even with all the stress of covid!!

Hi Livia & Darek,
Thank you so much first for inviting me to be a small part in your BIG day. It was both very much a fun experience as well as a very moving experience.
You both love each other and that clearly shows. The ceremony you designed was beautiful and very much inline with your personalities and values.
Your vows were spectacular and very heart felt. Your families and friends were very excited to be celebrating with you.
Thank you again and all the best.

Supportive During COVID-19 Changes
We worked with David Blow. We must say he was so wonderful to work with! He guided us through the ceremony planning console (very useful tool), and gave us advice on how to add religious elements to our ceremony without being too invasive for our non-religious guests. Most importantly for us, David was very flexible and understanding when new COVID-19 rules forced us to pull forward our wedding 6 hours earlier (with only 2 days notice!). He cancelled his own family plans so that he can officiate our wedding.
Highly recommend David Blow and the Enduring Promises team.

Amazing Experience
We decided to go with Enduring Promises as they were a preferred vendor from our venue, the Eglinton Grand. With the chaos surrounding COVID-19, our officiant, Ron Shantz, was very flexible and able to relocate to an outdoor venue. The planning portal was seamless and allowed my husband and I to have control over what was said during the ceremony. It was professional, Ron was charming, and it was just one more quality that made our wedding day that much more perfect.

Responsive, Supportive and Simply Wonderful
We first learned about Enduring Promises and Officiant Ron Shantz through our friends. Our experience has been nothing but amazing since day one. Ron was responsive, patient, and kind - he was able to respond all our questions with informative answers and helpful suggestions.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, we had decided to do a simple outdoor ceremony, however we did not have a venue at the time. After voicing out concerns, Ron generously offered his backyard as our venue and it’s beyond what we had expected - a charming and cozy oasis with beautiful landscaping and thoughtful touches throughout.
We met Ron for the first time on the date of our wedding; his warm smile and professional demeanor quickly made us feel at ease the minute we met. Our guests were equally impressed with the ceremony and Ron's lovely backyard!
We would recommend Enduring Promises Team and Officiant Ron to couples looking to tie the knot!

Overall great experience!
Enduring promises process was easy and worry free from start to finish! We chose Glenn to officiate our COVID wedding. He is a kind soul who was very helpful and accommodating, especially with our uncertainties! He assured us he would be there wherever and whenever we needed to go in order for us to be married. We are glad all worked out as planned and that we had Glenn officiate and be a part of our special day!

Stephanie and Daniel, you are a very special couple and had planned your Wedding to involve everyone invited. I enjoyed working with both of you, and was touched by the vows that you created for each other. It was in an outside setting with only family and close friends so we were all safe and COVID compliant.

Rob Brouwer, our wedding officiant extraordinaire!!!
We had the pleasure of having Rob Brouwer as our officiant on our special day! It went perfect!
We appreciated that Rob arrived well in advance on the morning of the wedding. His presence and professionalism elevated our ceremony. His confident, yet calming demeanour put everyone at ease; bringing out laughter, big smiles, and tears of joy amongst us. It was absolutely wonderful to have Rob there with us - thank you!
