Patrick P. Married on 05/11/2021A great officiant
Kerry was very professional and left a lasting positive impression. We asked him we wanted a simple yet elegant wedding and he delivered beyond expectations. Kerry gave us a list of vows to recite during the wedding and he was patient with us with all the timing and prep and planning prior to the wedding day. We are both happy to have had Kerry be a vital part of this joyous occasionKerry Bowser - Your Celebration Officiant in the GTA's reply:
Thank you very much for your generous comments. It was truly an honour to officiate at your wedding. And your MC did an amazing job tying everything together which made my job even easier. I wish you all the best! -

We were very nervous about choosing an officiant, but as soon as we met Kerry we knew he was going to be perfect. Kerry took the time to get to know us & our relationship which allowed for a very personalized ceremony. He was very flexible and helped us created something custom that suited what we pictured for our big day. Thank you Kerry!Kerry Bowser - Your Celebration Officiant in the GTA's reply:

Nestor D. Married on 05/09/2021100% recommended
After many months of waiting during COVID-19 lockdowns and long process times when we finally managed to obtain the marriage license we thought that we would no longer be able to get an officiant to get married we found Kerry. The only person out of five that I contacted, from the beginning we saw the great person that he is, as a professional and also a human being with a super flexibility and kindness he helped us to fulfill our goal. Advise us at all times even during the wedding ceremony making everything so easy and bearable.Kerry Bowser - Your Celebration Officiant in the GTA's reply:
Thank you so much Nestor for your kind review. It was great meeting you both and I'm glad everything came together so well. I know it was a challenge to make sure all the details were in place in time. I wish you both the very best in the future. -

Ashley T. Married on 27/08/2021Absolutely amazing
We cannot thank Kerry enough for the amazing service he provided for us. He went above and beyond our expectations for our small and intimate ceremony. We had to make a very last minute venue change and was able to acquire his services for our ceremony in super short notice. He was absolutely wonderful to work with and we highly recommend his services !Kerry Bowser - Your Celebration Officiant in the GTA's reply:
Thank you so much for your generous comments. It was a wonderful day and I was honoured to Officiate. You couldn't have asked for a better venue and of course the picture perfect couple completed the picture perfect day. I wish you both all the best! -

Ethan H. Married on 14/08/2021Simple, intimate and powerful ceremony
Kerry was everything we wanted as an officiant to our wedding and more. We wanted a very simple and private ceremony, with just us and three guests and witnesses, in an unassuming and COVID-safe outdoor location. Kerry imbued our oaths with meaning in his beautifully written and carefully delivered Humanist ceremony.
Kerry’s words, and the vows he had us repeat, encompassed both the significance of the love between us, and the weight of this love before our friends, family and society. He endowed our very simple and small ceremony with enormous meaning, and we are forever thankful to him for that. He also gave us a beautifully printed little transcript of our ceremony, so we can revisit the words exchanged that day. We highly recommend Kerry as an officiant to any significant ceremony, large or small- he will approach it with the care and humanity it deserves.Kerry Bowser - Your Celebration Officiant in the GTA's reply:
Thank you for your very kind words. It was an honour and joy to officiate at your wedding. And I thought the venue worked perfectly for the ceremony. I wish you both the very best!

Claudine C. Married on 01/08/2021Professional and caring
Kerry was amazing. He took notes from our very first call and incorporated them into our ceremony. He discussed what we wanted and what we didn’t want. Short and sweet ceremony which is exactly the way we wanted it. Would not hesitate to recommend him!Kerry Bowser - Your Celebration Officiant in the GTA's reply:
Thank-you so much for your tribute. It was a wonderful day and a spectacular venue! I bragged to everyone about the venue. I wish you both all the best. "Let's go Blue Jays!"

Carl K. Married on 18/06/2022You can't go wrong with Kerry!
Kerry is lovely, thoughtful, kind and knowledgeable. We thought he struck just the right balance in our ceremony between being light-hearted and approachable, while also being professional with a touch of gravitas. I would use him again -- but I hope the day never comes when I need him!Kerry Bowser - Your Celebration Officiant in the GTA's reply:
Thanks Carl. It was a beautiful day even if the tech gremlins were a little busy. And I concur that I would be quite happy for you not to use my services personally again. I wish you all the best! -

Rachelle C. Married on 26/03/2022Kerry was great!
Kerry was very flexible and responsive. He was also sweet and informative and helped us celebrate our special day in our home just the way we envisioned. We would highly recommend him to any couple looking to get hitched in Ontario. 🖤Kerry Bowser - Your Celebration Officiant in the GTA's reply:
Thanks Rachelle. I was honoured to officiate your special day. And I was glad that what I was wearing was able to fit into both of your "themes" for the wedding ceremony. I wish you both all the best! -
