Hi Mike & Myo Soon,
Thank you for the kind words. Performing your ceremony in the rain in a crowded covered structure made it all the more intimate. I'm delighted that the light hearted humour resonated so well with your family and friends. Best wishes!

Charming and Delightful
It was a pleasure working with Keith for our nuptials he was a very pleasant, on time and courteous. Things were kept lighthearted and welcoming. I have no qualms recommending Keith to another couple seeking a similar pleasurable experience. He kept us up to date on everything and even post wedding was able to help us with a query. Thanks again!

Lynne & Keith - Exceptional Ceremonies - Uniquely Engaging's reply:
Thank you Kalissa & Bohumil for your kind words. We frequently help out of town couples, such as yourselves, achieve a stress free wedding experience. Moreover, it was quite the bonus to have been able to assist you in obtaining your official marriage certificate in just one week after your wedding which will speed up your Immigration application process by several months.

Best Decision Ever
My now husband and I only had about a month to plan our wedding and Keith made every effort to help us pick the right ceremony for us and fit us into his schedule. Throughout the process he was very responsive and so kind and caring. He really made our day incredibly special. He made us all laugh and cry, then laugh all over again, then cry some more! Our guests all raved about how much they loved Keith and we couldn't be more smitten as well. We cannot recommend Keith enough. His after care in helping us sort out the paperwork was also amazing - the whole process couldn't have gone smoother and better. Having Keith officiate our wedding was the best decision we ever made, apart from marrying each other of course! The biggest of thank yous to Keith! We hope to see you again when we renew our vows! :)

100% recommend Keith!
Keith was great - full of suggestions, but very accommodating of our choices. He brought the perfect balance of formality and delight to our ceremony.
Lynne & Keith - Exceptional Ceremonies - Uniquely Engaging's reply:
Hi Carly & Jeff, It was a pleasure helping you to create together your brief, to the point, wedding ceremony that also established a new family record - by a wide margin, moreover - for the shortest one yet to date. Best wishes!

Beautiful Ceremony!
If you are looking for a tailored and memorable ceremony experience, we would highly recommend Exceptional Ceremonies.
Keith was a pleasure to work with. He is charismatic, professional, and was helpful throughout the entire vow writing process. The rehearsal was also a nice addition and made our wedding party feel more at ease knowing their roles, what to do, and where to be.
Keith delivered the ceremony wonderfully on our wedding day. We received many compliments on how unique and enjoyable it was. Any couple would be lucky to have him as their officiant.
Thank you Keith!!

Lynne & Keith - Exceptional Ceremonies - Uniquely Engaging's reply:
Thank you T & M for your kind words. It certainly was quite a challenge that Covid brought to your wedding plans, Fortunately, we were able to finally proceed and what a magnificent celebration you were able to have, in such a spectacular location as well. I am delighted to learn that the unique and innovative elements that you chose for your multi-cultural ceremony were so well received by your families and guests. Best wishes to both of you in your continuing future together.

Wonderful experience preparing for our wedding
My husband and I worked with Keith to create a perfect, unique ceremony for our big day. Keith made the entire process so easy and stress free. We had so much fun working through everything to create our ceremony. We had several guests tell us that they genuinely enjoyed our ceremony. Highly recommend!!!
Lynne & Keith - Exceptional Ceremonies - Uniquely Engaging's reply:
Hi Alexaire, thank you for this feedback. It’s always a pleasure for us to work with couples like you and M. who know exactly the kind of impact that a wedding ceremony can have for their families and guests.
I really enjoyed working with you to create an innovative approach to treat your loved ones and to have them experience a ceremony far beyond the ordinary.
It was so evident at your rehearsal that, without revealing the contents of your unique script, your wedding party member got progressively more excited in anticipation of the enjoyment and fun that they were going to experience in your ceremony.
And on the big day itself, I was so delighted that we were able to achieve everything that you had wanted and more. That is something that is so visible in the photos taken that you have already shared and it will continue to be so, every time you look at them.
Best wishes to you both in your continuing future together.

A ceremony like no other
Ever attend a wedding ceremony and wonder why they all seem the same, or leave the wedding and not remember anything about the ceremony except that they said “I do” and kissed... well your ceremony with Exceptional Ceremonies won’t be anything like that. Keith worked with us to from the start to customize our ceremony to match our vision perfectly. Provided us endless options to tailor the event to reflect our love and humour. They have used their experience to make the ceremony unique to perfection. Heart wrenching emotional moments mixed with light hearted fun entertainment for all so that your ceremony will be the talk of the year and years to come.
We would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

Very flexible & easy to work with!
Lynn was such a warm and friendly officiant - she did an amazing job at our pop-up ceremony in the Arboretum. Leading up to the ceremony we did most of the planning with Keith, which was quick and easy. The day of our ceremony I (the bride) was running late and they adapted their plans for us, which we really appreciated. Keith had to head out to another ceremony and Lynn stepped in last minute! She arrived quickly and put my mind at ease in this stressful situation. Thank you Lynn & Keith for great service!
Lynne & Keith - Exceptional Ceremonies - Uniquely Engaging's reply:
Thank you Lena & Jordan, We were delighted to have been able to work with you in planning your wedding and then, due to the circumstances, rescue your wedding ceremony and have everything work out for you, as well as your parents. Having such a back-up officiant capability ensures that we are able to deal with most situations when events necessitate it. Best wishes for your continuing future together.

Unique ceremony in our unique COVID times
My partner and I had been planning a large wedding on June 27th that was cancelled due to COVID. We decided, however, that we still wanted to get married on that date. Our wedding went through a number of iterations, changing as the public health guidelines did. At first it was going to be in our living room with no guests, then in our friend's backyard when we were able to have gatherings outside, and then at a hotel when the number limits for gatherings were increased again. Keith was flexible and willing to adjust with every step we took which made it easy for us to have the best wedding that the guidelines of the day allow. Also, my partner and I completely customized our ceremony based on the great material Keith provided, as well as his advice for how to do things - such as vows - that will make it more likely that you will make it through the ceremony (instead of being a blubbering mess). We appreciated that support and guidance and have received nothing but wonderful comments on our ceremony.

Amazing experience
We recently had Keith marry us in a small 22-person wedding on our front porch at home. Even though there were many changes with the pandemic he was flexible, accommodating, and with us every step of the way. He was so helpful and quick to answer every email. He made getting married much easier than we had thought. And his ceremony was awesome! Funny, witty, personal, and light-hearted like we had wanted. We can not wait to have him marry us in a much larger ceremony next summer.
