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.

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!

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! :)

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!!

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!
