Thank You Jim Giles!!!

First of all we want to thank our officiant Jim Giles who did an amazing job. He was very friendly, down to earth and knowledgeable. He met with us before hand and explained everything we would need to do online. As we completed the online part Jim was in contact with us helping us when we needed it. On the day of the wedding Jim helped to ease our worries and fears that we wouldn't know what to do. He lead us through the ceremony step by step and everything went smoothly. Jim also helped my husband ease his jitters. He made us laugh as he could tell we needed to relieve our nervousness. The day was amazing and part of that was because of Jim!!!

Ron was an amazing officiant! From the first time we met him to designing our ceremony with us to the rehearsal and the big day. He helped guide us throughout the whole journey. On the day, he did a wonderful job of performing our ceremony! he made us both feel so comfortable and relaxed while at the alter which is a hard thing to do. Enduring promises was very easy to work with and their online ceremony portal was so easy to use and really helped make designing our ceremony easy!

We used enduring promises to design our ceremony and couldn't be happier. Using the ceremony builder you can really make it your own. We received so many compliments about our beautiful and unique ceremony! Our officiant Belma did an amazing job and was such a pleasure to work with! I could not recommend this company enough!

We selected Ron Shantz from Enduring Promises to be our officiant. Ron was already scheduled to be the officiant for another family member earlier this year. He met with us and we realized he would be perfect. Ron is very structured and explains things well. He listened to what we wanted to do, and provided his input, but was more than accommodating. For the ceremony, we couldn’t be happier. He took charge when he arrived and made sure everyone was prepared (including the venue!). During the ceremony, he maintained a calm, measured flow, which helped relax us and kept the pace for the timelines we were aiming for. There was a surprise presentation for the rings, and Ron adapted extremely well, without missing a step!
We would highly recommend Ron Shantz to be your officiant.

My Wife Sarah and I ended up using Enduring Promises (Mike Van Slingerland ) to officiate our wedding ceremony on September 8th, 2017 at the Guild Inn Estates.

We have to say, Mike hands down, rocked the ceremony! It was a breath of fresh air to have Mike up there with us. He made sure everything was running smoothly and according to plan. The process from start to finish was very streamlined from filing out the forms online to how he directed the wedding party during the ceremony.

More importantly, after the ceremony, we had numerous (and I mean numerous) guests tell us that our ceremony was the BEST ceremony that they have attended and commented on how great Mike was. Do yourself a favour and go with Enduring Promises, you won’t regret it.

We had the pleasure of working with Richard Bristow from Enduring Promises. From the get go, Richard was the perfect combination of friendly and professional. Richard also guided us through the very useful online planning tool. On the day of the wedding, Richard acted as a quarterback for our ceremony and coordinated with our photographers/videographers and made sure everything went off without a hitch. We definitely recommend using Enduring Promises and Richard!

I loved working with Enduring Promises, more specifically our officiant Belma Vardy.

From the first meeting my husband and I knew that Belma would be perfect to officiate our wedding. She was always so calm when speaking with us. Her relaxed demeanor was amazing on our wedding day as we were both nervous. Belma reassured us throughout the ceremony that we were doing well. We had guests actually tell us that Belma should make relaxation videos!! If you're looking for a very cool, calm and collected officiant, Belma is the one for you!

Rinette from Enduring Promises (Ottawa) married us and we were thrilled with the experience.

She is lovely, through and through, and so good to work with. We planned the wedding from out of country, but Rinette made us feel like we were in the same room when we first met with her via Skype. She was personal, friendly and familiar right from the beginning, and she had a keen sense of who we are and what we like/dislike almost immediately.

The console for planning and tweaking the ceremony is intuitive and easy to use, and sending comments and drafts back and forth was easy. It was great to be able to go back and forth with Rinette about aspects of the ceremony we weren't sure of etc. Even though we chose a lot of traditional elements for the ceremony, it felt really personal and intimate.

We highly recommend Enduring Promises, and Rinette in particular! Happy wedding planning! :)

Rinette Emerson married my daughter August 12. Everyone involved could not have been happier with Enduring Promises and Rinette's services. She was absolutely wonderful and brought SO much warmth to the service. She even had to deal with a sound-system malfunction and kept the guest entertained while the system was fixed...now that's grace under pressure! Also, we did want to have a wedding rehearsal with her and I would highly recommend that as well. The wedding party really needed run-through to feel comfortable with what needed to be done. As well, the bride and groom loved all the different service options and were able to include their dog! Thank you so very, very much Rinette!

When first looking for an officiant we didn't know what we were really looking for, until we met with Jim. He was perfect- friendly, professional and easy going!
The attitude the company uses for helping to create your own personal and unique ceremony is an incredible idea, and made it a stress free part of the planning.
Our ceremony turned out beautifully and Jim was so patient while working with us before and on the day of.
