Reviews for Lynne & Keith - Exceptional Ceremonies - Uniquely Engaging

Keith was amazing!

Keith was the perfect officiant for us! We had originally scheduled a couple of meetings with different people and as soon as we met Keith we knew he was it!

Day of, we signed the papers before the ceremony - a special moment with just us and our siblings. The ceremony was beautiful - the perfect mix of humour and sentiments! Lots of happy tears and laughs. It felt super special for both us and our guests!

Although Keith and Lynn have performed thousands of ceremonies, they do such a great job at making yours feel personal and truly capturing the essence of your unique love story.

Couldn't have asked for better.

We had planned for a couple of months to have a very basic private elopement on leap day, and then between what seemed like everything in the universe transpiring to foil our plans, and then our own silly mistakes, on so many occasions it felt near impossible that we'd be able to make it happen how we wanted. But in the end, even though it is truly an understatement to say that it came down to the wire, we managed to pull it off, and we wouldn't have been able to do so without Keith's understanding, kindness and flexibility. His service was exactly what we hoped for - quick, intimate, and low pressure. He even gave us a few laughs, which was exactly what we needed in that moment, and also lent itself to some great candid photos. We will be forever grateful to Keith for being absolutely integral in both helping us write a happy ending to our crazy adventure, and also a perfect beginning to the rest of our lives.

Stellar Officiant, Exceptional Ceremony

It's with genuine delight and immense satisfaction that I write this review for our officiant, Keith, who transformed our simple ceremony into a memorable experience. From our initial consultation to the execution of our event, their professionalism and commitment to their craft were evident.

They handled our ceremony with a level of pride and care that was both heartwarming and reassuring, making it apparent that their role was more than a mere job – it was a passion. They approached our special requests with ease that only comes from a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of their duty. This flexibility coupled with an intuitive grasp of our needs truly set them apart.

Keith ensured that we understood each step of the process, patiently walking us through the ceremony's details, answering our questions, and accommodating our unique requests. The result was a day that felt personal, well-organized, and stress-free.

In summary, the service provided was exceptional in every sense. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an officiant who brings professionalism, warmth, and a personal touch to their special day.

Very well organized!

Our officiant came recommended from other family who had used him and did not disappoint! He supported in helping us create a ceremony tailored for us and the day went perfectly. With the very busy wedding season it was difficult to get timely responses and does strongly suggest not to change certain aspects/details of the ceremony that mattered to us but all in all we were happy with our choice!

Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Exceptional Ceremonies enough! I have worked with Lynne & Keith countless times during my time as a wedding planner and it was an EASY choice to have them officiant my own. Not only was the entire process with Keith stress free, but reading through the provided passage suggestions & designing our ceremony was a major highlight of the wedding planning process for my husband and I!

After having the pleasure to see Keith in action so many times, the flexibility & customization options for the ceremony script was very important to me. Our ceremony truly felt unique, like our own and the perfect reflection of us.

Keith, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for making this moment so special for us!

Memorable personalized ceremony

Keith was amazing at explaining his thought process and incorporating our personal story throughout the ceremony. All of our guests had positive things to say including how it was the most fun they ever had at a ceremony. Keith also understood and appreciated the importance of religious undertones without making it feel too strenuous. We would highly recommend him to any of our friends getting married.
