Hazel for the Win

Hazel was our officiant and we could not have been happier with her and her service. She is so kind and understating and patient. She has many years of experience. Their prices are fair. We would choose Hazel a million more times over. 12/10 would recommend . Unfortunately I didn’t have time to take a formal photo with her - but here is her chatting while mayhem is happening.

Rev. Steve Morrell was amazing through the entire process!

Rev. Steve Morrell was just amazing! From our initial conversation to the day of our ceremony his calm easy going disposition really helped take the stress off of everything else that was going on! He is extremely personable and entertaining which our families and guests found to be very enjoyable! Rev. Steve provided us with great suggestions and insights based on other ceremonies he conducted which allowed us to make the best decisions for our ceremony! He made such an impact that even a few of our siblings said they would love to have him officiate their weddings when the time comes! Don't delay when it comes to booking Rev. Steve, after seeing how smoothly he helped make our day its easy to understand why he is in such high demand! Thank you Rev for making our day so enjoyable and memorable!

Rev. Morrell was the best officiant we could ask for!

Reverend Steve Morrell was our officiant for the wedding and he is such an amazing person. We were so fortunate he was available on our date. Rev. Morrell radiates so much warmth, kindness and caring as a person. He even came an hour early to make sure we would be ok as we opted not to have a rehearsal, and offered us a practice walkthrough so graciously! He truly went above and beyond. He is so experienced as a wedding officiant that he gave us prompts on what to do and where to go upon signing, etc.

His sense of humor, joviality and friendliness connected our attendees to his presence. During conversations, many of our guests spontaneously noted how Rev. Morrell was 'so awesome'. He was so good in breaking the ice with others.

Furthermore Rev. Morrell comes extremely prepared to make sure your ceremony is pitch-perfect. He meticulously notes the orders of ceremonies and made sure we were happy with all the readings and ceremony words. He is as flexible as you would like him to be-- if you want him to do all the preparations, he would do so, if you want a highly personalized ceremony, he would do so. It was important to us to have some pastoral ministry delivered in a different language and Rev. Morrell effortlessly interwove this section to our ceremony. He is also so prompt in communication and easy to contact. He is willing to make time for you at any time.

Rev. Morrell is also easygoing and willing to accommodate you and he makes clear that his priority is your day as a couple. We tried to secure his parking for him but that fell through, but he just shook it off and told us not to worry. He drove so far to make it to our wedding yet one wouldn't know it, he kept such a fantastic, upbeat energy and positive outlook.

I highly recommend having Reverend Morrell as your officiant! A kind, caring minister like him helped our wedding become an effortless day.

Our experience with Steve was top notch

Our time with Steve was wonderful we traveled all the way to Canada to get married and every step of the way he helped us and assured us things were gonna go as planned. He always stayed in touch and made accommodations for our location. He still stays in touch to this day and is helping us out in other ways as well. If your looking for someone you can trust your wedding with and important documents it's him, we highly recommend. Thanks Steve for absolutely everything!

Thank you SO much!

From the very first phone call, I knew Rev. Steve was the Officiant for us! He is so easy to talk to, incredibly genuine and has a great sense of humour. We didn’t want a very religious ceremony and we wanted to include some non-traditional aspects - Rev. Steve guided and encouraged us to make it perfect. I didn’t know what a “Sand Ceremony” was and because we have a blended family, Rev. Steve recommended it. It was the perfect addition to our very personal ceremony.
Rev. Steve, Keinon and I can’t thank you enough for your patience, kindness, support and for making us laugh!! We are grateful to have found you and for helping us make our day so magical.

Amazing!

Rev. Steve was AMAZING! From the first time we spoke with him, we knew he was the very best fit for us and what we wanted our ceremony to be. Not only was he attentive, but he was meticulous when it came to small details that we didn’t even think of and he was so supportive of the vibe and vision we wanted for our ceremony. He was charming and funny, and everything flowed so naturally. It was like we had a long-time friend marrying us that day. He made it intimate enough for my husband and I, while still keeping it light and fun (which was very important to us). In addition, throughout our engagement, he would check in, offer classes to help support us in preparing for marriage, and send reminders for important dates/materials needed for the day. Rev. Steve is a wonderful friend and officiant. He is the very BEST choice for those who want a fun, intimate, and versatile ceremony. We couldn’t be happier!!

My passion for performing weddings begins with meeting couples to customize their wedding ceremony and providing pre-marriage counseling.

I was born in England to Jamaican parents and grew up in Jamaica with extended family until I came to join my mother in Canada in the early ’70s.

I am a graduate of the University of Guelph with a degree in Justice Studies and have been a police officer since 1988.

I was ordained as a minister in 2018 and my calling is bringing the word to seniors in retirement homes.

Performing weddings is very cathartic for me as the love that fills these ceremonies brings me great joy.
