  • very friendly, professional, and answered our questions right away. We had lots of compliments after our ceremony about how great and funny he was.
  • We received wonderful feedback from our guests
  • from the first meeting right to the ceremony he was nothing but courteous, professional and hands on
  • He was flexible with our requests, arrived well ahead of time and made everyone feel at ease
  • They made every effort to try and get to know us as a couple within a short period of time to personalize the script about us as a couple during the ceremony.

    Perfect Ceremony

    Wayne was an amazing officiant! We got so many compliments from guests throughout the evening about how the ceremony was well thought out and perfectly us. More importantly, it felt just right. From helping us write our vows, to having specific input about our lives and what we wanted the day to look like Let's Tie the Knot did it all!

    Thank you very much for sharing your kind thoughts Sidny. I am very happy that you and your guests enjoyed the ceremony and it was a real pleasure to work with you and Jeff.

    Wanted Something "different"

    My husband and I did not want a stuffy, boring, or long ceremony. We had a zoom call (during covid) with Wayne and instantly knew we wanted him to marry us. He is funny and charming and all around a very personable guy. He customized our ceremony to us and included our kids in a special ceremony as well. Very flexible with the changes we made on the day and before (adding in a rehearsal). Absolutely recommend him!!!

    It was a real pleasure to be a part of your wedding day Paige & Glenn. I very much enjoyed meeting and working with you, and thank you for sharing your kind thoughts.

    Highly Recommend

    We were very happy with our decision to work with Let’s Tie The Knot! Wayne helped us with planning every step of the ceremony. We decided to have Patrick officiate our ceremony and we were very happy we chose him! He was professional and punctual. On our wedding day he arrived early to walk us through the little details of the ceremony too. Definitely recommend!!

    Wayne is the best

    Wayne helped Katie and I with the whole process so much and we are so thankful for that! The ceremony was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have asked anyone else to do a better job than Wayne did. He presented us very well and he put together such a beautiful script. We will for sure be referring others to Wayne and his team. Thank you so much Wayne!

    Patrick at let’s tie the knot

    Patrick was an officiant. He made us feel so comfortable (both my husband and I hate being the centre of attention). The ceremony was extremely well performed and we had so many comments on how funny it was and how it reflected us as a couple! 100/10. Would recommend!

    Let's Tie The Knot's reply:

    Thank you for sharing you thoughts Kayla. We very much enjoyed working with you and being a part of your wedding day.
    Congratulations once again.

    Truly a great Officiant!

    We had Patrick at let’s tie the knot officiate our wedding ceremony. Not only was he fun and expressive, but he was so kind and acknowledged our needs and accommodated them! Our officiant made everything seamless and incredibly easy for us, gave wedding party cues & even helped us figure out our timeline for the bridal party to walk. Truly it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend him 1000x over! The amount of correspondence we had with this vendor was phenomenal, there were so many personalized questions and responses were fast!

Wayne Palendat
Wayne Palendat
Founder and C.I.G. (Chief Idea Guy)

Wayne became a marriage commissioner after being asked by his daughter to officiate her wedding ceremony. Being able to create something that was so unique and personal for her and his son-in-law was a true joy. Many friends and family commented on how the ceremony touched them, evoked emotions and even made them laugh, so he decided to offer his services to other couples.

Wayne is very passionate about being a marriage commissioner. He is a casual, laid back person who brings that demeanor to meetings and the ceremony itself. He also possess a sarcastic wit and is happy to add humour to a ceremony if that is one of your wishes. He wants you to be able to relax and fully enjoy the journey that leads to your wedding day.

Wayne creates the scripts for Let's Tie The Knot and will help you create a ceremony that truly reflects your personalities and is as individual and unique as you are.

It seems like we have all been to the same boring ceremony time and time again. Let’s Tie The Knot will marry you YOUR way, with a creative and personalized ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple and will live in the memories of all who share the day with you.
