Absolutely Amazing
I can not express how amazing of an officiant Jim is. He kept the ceremony fun and exactly how we wanted it. He also kept my now husband calm as I walked down, which he really appreciated!

Made our day very easy going
Jim made the entire process so easy and relaxing. The crowd loved him, he worked in a way that made pictures wonderful for the photographer. We met with him before the wedding and he made all of our worries go away. The ceremony was a good length and he was a great speaker who kept the audience listening.

We love Jim!
Jim was our officiant for our wedding this past Sunday and we couldn’t be more pleased with our decision!
Beginning with the planning process, meeting with Jim was easy. After an hour with him we knew he was the only choice for us. He is so kind, funny and easy-going. He was extremely helpful and walked us through the entire ceremony, he told us exactly what to expect and how the certification works in Ontario.
On the day if he was right on time and there with a smile. Many guests commented on how funny he was and how that was one of the best ceremonies they had been to. He kept us laughing and the guests entertained - it was extremely heartfelt. He also calmed my nerves about the weather!
We couldn’t recommend Jim more! Thank you so much!
