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!

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!

Mike took the stress and kept us smiling
Mike went above and beyond our expectations! He was prompt and professional. His clear voice and lightness allowed our guest to enjoy every word and helped us stay present in our ceremony. The online console was helpful in allowing us to create the exact ceremony vibe we wanted. We are blown away at how kind and easy Enduring Promises was to work with. Would absolutely recommend!

Enduring Promises Review: Mike Van Slingerland
What can we say... nothing but an AMAZING wedding ceremony experience that Enduring Promises; Mike Van Slingerland had planned for us. Just when you thought it wasn’t going to happen, they made it happen!
Since day 1, they stuck with us the entire way and made our magical wedding day come true even after we had to postpone our original wedding date from May 23rd 2020 to September 25th 2020 due to COVID.
We can positively tell you that please, do not hesitate to schedule a meeting with them for your special event! You won’t be disappointed.
We also want to point out that with the strict guidelines and protocols regarding COVID19, Mike Van Slingerland followed this as required. Our guests felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire time. our guests kept on asking us after the ceremony where did we find Minister Mike !!?? ha-ha he was that good and entertaining.
Thank you Enduring Promises & Mike Van Slingerland for all that you have done. We can finally move forward with our lives and we are nothing but smiles as we are writing this during our honeymoon. We hope nothing but great things to come your way for the remainder of 2020 as we know it’s been a crazy year.
We give a 10/10 ⭐️. Thank you once again from the bottom of our 💕 hearts!

Responsive and amazing experience
When we decided to do a ceremony in only less than one week for personal reasons, I called enduring promises on Sunday afternoon and they called back in a few minutes and sent out emails later. Its responsiveness surprised me a lot! The officiant they recommended, Brianne Manuel, is very helpful and has provided great suggestions for the whole process. Though our ceremony is short and quick, her advice has made us less nervous and really enjoy it. It is much more than what I've expected. In total, it was a great and memorable experience.

Awesome Service Awesome Officiant
Enduring Promises was a godsend for our wedding. Everything was professional, and they catered to our requests for the kind of officiant we were looking for. Having no idea about what a ceremony looks like, their custom tool that allows you the build and customize all aspects of the ceremony along with some provided customizable presets is very good and take a lot of the burden off an already stressful time.
The officiant we had was Sharon McKenley who was excellent. She took the time to meet with us a couple of times over zoom to go over the process and the ceremony, and was very helpful in helping us figure out various things. On the day of, she was very early and ready to get everything done. She officiated the ceremony excellently and everything was extremely well done.
I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Enduring Promises and Sharon to any couples looking for a wedding officant.
