Exceptional

We needed an officiant in Whitby and looked for one online.
We sifted through many and we were instantly drawn to Garry Francis.
The reviews were stellar!
Despite a last minute booking, Garry was able to accommodate our request.
We had an amazing ceremony full of love and support.
He is indeed the best wedding whisperer in the GTA.
Anyone looking for a wedding officiant should look no further.

Nice, experienced, professional officiant

I have known Garry for about 10 years now. He was a neighbour until I moved and is a great man. He is meticulous, detailed, honest, professional, a man of honour who does things right. If anyone has anything bad to say about him, then that person is not a good judge of character and no friend of mine!

We decided to get married with very short notice and Garry was my first pick. He did a great job to make it happen. You can look me up and call me you have any questions.

Prompt, Professional and beyond Pleasant

I had the opportunity to work with Garry over the weekend at an intimate backyard wedding. As a Wedding Planner, I work with many officiants, Garry really left a great impression right from the first email he sent me - his enthusiasm jumped out of the text and I knew right away I would love working with him! Upon arrival he was prompt and professional, he knew exactly what he had to do right from the get go. I really appreciated how quickly he would always respond to my email and I think the time capsule he offers is such a unique twist to your average ceremony! I hope to have the opportunity to work with Garry again soon!

Garry is amazing! Highly recommended.

Garry was amazing! From the consultation right up to the wedding, he was incredible. For the rehearsal, Garry made everything seem very straight forward and stress free for us. He even brought up a few excellent points we never would have thought of. On the day of our ceremony, Garry was extremely punctual. He showed up ready to rock! He did an excellent job of keeping my husband calm, confident and excited for the ceremony to start. We can't thank Garry enough for his beautiful words, the service and everything else he did for us to make our day even more special! Highly, highly recommend Garry.

Highly recommend!

We had Garry for our wedding in August and chose his ‘Document Signing’ package as we had a family member perform the ceremony on the day. Garry was very professional and ensured all the legal requirements were met for our marriage. He was very pleasant to deal with in the lead-up to the day and I would highly recommend him for others looking for an officiant.
