Elegant and Chill

My wife and I decided to have a simple elopement with only two witnesses, and wanted an officiant that's kind and chill. We contacted Kerry and exchanged couple of emails, after which he arranged a virtual consultation session with us. It didn't take long for us to make up our mind, and it turns out that we have no regret at all. Thanks to Kerry whom make our special day relaxing and yet memorable!

Best Wedding Officiant in Toronto

Without a doubt Mr Bowser is a professional at what he does. He was always aware that all our concerns were resolved. He helped me and my husband prepare for the big day. During the ceremony he was incredible, he delighted us with his words about love and union. If you are looking for a professional for your special day, he is the man.

Elegant, Touching, Personal

My husband and I found Kerry on wedding wire after searching for a few days for something non-religious and simple. We scrolled past his page, and after reading through his profile I was drawn to him for his humanism approach. He is passionate about love, care, and respect towards one another as people, and these are qualities my husband and I share.

Kerry is very personable and easy going, and was willing to work with us through our ideal ceremony (twice!). He emphasizes the importance of love in the world, and sharing that with one another. He also is totally willing to incorporate any special ideas you may have to make your ceremony unique to you. (My husband and I sealed the deal with a shot of rum!)

His response time to any inquiries we had was immediate from the beginning, and he is such a positive person, it is infectious. We can’t thank him enough for making our ceremony so beautiful, everyone was raving about it afterwards.

Your ceremony will be one for the books when performed by Kerry!

Awesome - 100% recommend!!

Kerry was dedicated to making our ceremony special and personal, he was very flexible and kept us on track with the timeline, laid out all the steps that we needed to do before and after the wedding. Kerry guided us through every step of the way I wouldn’t have known what to do without him! It was a hectic day and I didn’t get a chance to say thank you until now; thank you so much Kerry for making our big day a smooth and memorable one! Take care!!

Kerry is the best!

Kerry was an absolute blessing as our wedding officiant. From our very first meeting, it was clear that he was not just a professional but a genuinely kind and caring individual. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, our love story, and our vision for the ceremony. Kerry's warmth and thoughtfulness shone through every step of the way.
 
One of the standout qualities of Kerry was his dedication to making our ceremony uniquely "us." He went above and beyond to incorporate our special touches and personal anecdotes into the script. The result was a ceremony that felt deeply meaningful and authentic to our relationship. Kerry's ability to strike the perfect balance between tradition and personalization was truly remarkable.
 
In summary, Kerry is an exceptional wedding officiant who exceeded our expectations in every way. He made our special day even more memorable by crafting a ceremony that was uniquely tailored to us. His kindness, thoughtfulness, and professionalism were invaluable, and we are immensely grateful for his role in our wedding. If you're searching for an officiant who will make your ceremony a reflection of your love story, Kerry is the perfect choice. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

Surpassed expectations

I chose Kerry after turning down about 20 other potential officiants. He gave us exactly the type of ceremony for our microwedding. He was personable, meticulous, and thoroughly walked us through every step.

We highly recommend Kerry!

We knew Kerry was the officiant we wanted to hire as soon as we had our initial consultation. Kerry is everything you would want in an officiant—professional, detail-oriented, friendly and accommodating. He demystified the entire process for us and provided templates to help us with putting together our ceremony. He also provided clear instructions promptly after we got married so that we could get our marriage certificate. Thank you, Kerry!!!

Kerry made our ceremony a dream come true!

Kerry was an amazing officiant from the beginning and leading up to our wedding day. He is professional and clearly communicates everything so that you’re prepared for your big day. You can just tell he loves officiating weddings with a passion. He was flexible with our wishes and was even willing to go above and beyond by working with us so that we could include our dog in the ceremony. Lots of guests came up to us to rave about Kerry and said they were moved by his words. Lucky us! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the beautiful memories!

"The great and wonderful Kerry Bowser"

From the get go Kerry was excited about our Halloween wedding. Our service was more of a theatrical performance, and Kerry brought his own victorian era officiants costume, with parchement scroll and all! What a wonderful officiant.
