Wonderful experience!

Brent was amazing! He was super friendly, outgoing, and easy to talk to. I was able to add and customize my ceremony to however I wanted and it went very smoothly. Brent has obviously been doing this for a long time because he seemed SO comfortable up there talking in front of 100 people and had a happy, gentlemanly ease. He added just a touch of humour with his fun demeanor and it led to the perfect and most magical ceremony! 10/10 recommend! One of my guests that is engaged liked him so much, he event asked me for Brent's info so they could hire him for their upcoming wedding! He was the best! :)

Tracy is a fantastic, calming, organized professional and provided us with a wonderful and personalized ceremony.

Tracy performed our ceremony at the Golden Eagle golf club and was amazing throughout the entire process. She worked with us to help us determine the type of ceremony we wanted and was always able to fill in the blanks when we were unsure. Tracy had worked with our venue before and worked seamlessly with the venue planner to organize our rehearsal and ceremony. Tracy was a very calming presence and helped alleviate my nerves (as well as fix my boutonniere). She had clearly prepared to ensure she could pronounce all the names and even some greetings in our various native languages, provided us a very smooth and touching ceremony. Thanks Tracy.

Book Tracy of HeyRev - you will not be disappointed. A vendor that truly cares about you and your day!!

I hired Tracy for our wedding ceremony and she was incredible on all fronts. Book her - you will not be disappointed! So professional and knew exactly how to guide us to ensure our ceremony was exactly what we wanted. Hey Rev had an entire toolkit that made the planning process so easy! Tracy truly cared about our day and took complete control of our wedding rehearsal when our wedding planner was 20 minutes late. During the ceremony, she was so articulate and well-spoken. Her delivery is genuine, moving and heartfelt. Tracy can do it all and can support various religions, spiritual followings, whatever you need. The ceremony although a small portion of the entire wedding day it is by far my favourite memory of the day and a lot of that is due to Tracy.

Tracy prompted me by asking if there was anyone that had passed that I wanted to include in my ceremony. I lost my Dad a few years back and it did not dawn on me to include a reference to him in the ceremony. I had planned a memorial table for the reception. The words of love and thought within the ceremony for my Dad meant so much to me, my mom, my brother and my Dad’s family that attended the wedding and because of Tracy this opportunity wasn’t missed. Forever grateful for the incredible start Tracy gave to mine and John's marriage!

Wonderful Experience

Tracy is just absolutely lovely. We really wanted to put effort into our ceremony and make it something memorable for us, and our guests. We reached out to Hey Rev and were connected with Tracy. We had a phone call prior to booking to just get a feel for each other and it went great. She provided a ceremony template which we could use to help build our own customized ceremony. We met up in person a couple weeks ahead of time and Tracy brought up items we had not thought of and helped us finalize details to ensure everything went smoothly. On the day, she was on time, professional, and friendly. We had multiple guests comment on how wonderful she was. She helped us keep our ceremony sentimental but also light and fun. We honestly could not have asked for better. We highly recommend booking Tracy.

Tracy was amazing!

Tracy officiated our wedding this summer and she did an amazing job! She added some personal touches to the ceremony that made it unique to us as a couple while adding warmth and humour. Her experience and professionalism as an officiant is very evident in how well she was prepared and how she prepared us at the rehearsal for what to expect. Everyone loved it and we had many guests commenting on how much they enjoyed the ceremony. We definitely recommend Tracy!

Quirky & Filled with Love

Brent officiated our September 2020 wedding and he did an amazing job. He really understood who we were as a couple and we felt the ceremony matched us perfectly. He added in great pieces of our story with words of wisdom from his own marriage. It was the perfect combination of fun, laughs, and romance. Our guests really enjoyed his presence before we walked down the aisle & the whole ceremony flowed perfectly. Brent made us feel comfortable and at ease during the whole thing. Thank you Brent!! We would recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding officiant.

Tracy was an amazing officiant! 10/10

Wow! We couldn't have asked for a better person suited to marry us on our special day. Tracy was personable, funny, and calming all at once. Tracy married us at Riverway Clubhouse in August 2019. All our guests raved about her. Everything was so organized, she incorporated a reading we picked and personalized it to us!l. She also has such a sweet voice and made our guests feel special. She truly went above and beyond. We met her about a year before our wedding over some coffee and instantly clicked. She answered all of our questions and came prepared with a package to help us explain the process as we had no idea! She came to our rehearsal and made everyone feel as ease. Sean and I didn't have a wedding planner and were kind of worried about the logistics of it all. Tracy took it upon herself to coordinate the ceremony for us and have my whole bridal party know where to stand, walk and when to go. It was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. She also came to see me in the bridal room before it began to say everything is perfect and ready to go. Her calming professional nature did so much to help ease any nerves. I highly highly recommend Hey Rev! Especially Tracy. You won't be disappointed!
