Manuel C. Married on 12/10/2022Cole is the best :)
Cole ceremony, speech and energy need to be rated higher that 5 stars. I come from a Spanish speaking family and Cole made an effort to make sure everyone understood the ceremony. He added some Spanish sections and also sent the speech ahead of time for us to translate and had it ready for our family.
His speech was beautiful and insightful. It seemed like he knew us for a long time and made the ceremony fun and energetic. We could not be happier!!
SUMMARY:
Only one word can describe Cole's ceremony: AWESOME -

Sandra Married on 28/09/2022Best Day Ever!
When we decided to elope to a mountain top in Kananaskis our Photographers introduced us to Cole. An officiant extraordinaire! Cole not only hiked up a mountainside with us but had a special organic system that made our special day feel so personal to us alone. I don’t want to share to much for anyone looking for that special touch. However, we loved what Cole create so much that we asked for a copy of his speech. I can personally guarantee not one will be a like. There’s a reason why he makes it so special and personal. We felt like we were being married by a dearest friend. I could not have asked for a better person/officiant to marry the love of my life.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Love Sandra & Aaron -

Philip S. Married on 23/09/2022Thoughtful, Cordial, Fun -- Cole is Great!
Cole was such a wonderful person to lead our wedding ceremony! In addition to his especially thoughtful words, he really took my partner and me into full consideration. He took the time to get to know us and tailor our ceremony to our particularities and dynamic. Cole was also great company on the hike, and his simultaneously cordial and enthusiastic energy was a perfect complement to our beautiful surroundings. If you're looking to have a ceremony in a stunning location, lead by somebody who really takes you and your partner into full consideration, and is also a great writer and personality, Cole is absolutely the person for you. -

Cole created the perfect ceremony for us. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple and individuals to deliver a personal experience that was beautiful, funny, and lighthearted, exactly what we had hoped for. We had so many guests tell us how much they loved his performance and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for their officiant!! Cole, you're a master of your craft and thank you so much for being part of our big day!! -

Sharlee Married on 17/09/2022Fantastic!
Cole really made our day! We received so much positive feedback from our ceremony, everyone was so impressed how personalized it was to our individual habits/quirks, and our lifestyles.
We really appreciated the flexibility of incorporating our own thoughts and feelings into a more traditional "repeat after me" type of ceremony. It was the perfect balance. Cole's ability to tug at the heartstrings and cause a few giggles creates a memorable experience for you & your guests. Highly recommended. -

Vassilia A. Married on 09/09/2022Perfectly married by Cole
Thank you so much Cole, for the unique, modern and entertaining ceremony that we had. Cole was professional and easy to work with from the start. We didn’t have a lot in mind for the ceremony but we knew we wanted a modern, non-denominational, mixed cultured, young and vibrant ceremony of two equals and that’s exactly what we got with Cole. Once again, thank you. If you are looking for an officiant that can make your ceremony fit your unique needs, you have found him! -

Kayla S. Married on 24/07/2022Beautiful Ceremony
Cole was simply amazing. From his detailed questionnaire, he was able to put together a ceremony that was able to capture our relationship. I would have never guessed that was our first face to face meeting with Cole. He had a great energy about himself and really made our ceremony full of love and laughter. Would highly recommend Cole and his services! -

Sarah T. Married on 16/07/2022Charming, funny and well versed
Cole does amazing work! Starting with a personalized experience created through the use of a detailed but very relevant questionnaire. Cole's inquiries meant that our special day was unique to us and that important details were able to be added to truly make our ceremony one to remember. On top of a wonderful guided ceremony Cole was also extremely personable, funny and even adaptive when our 2 year old made some interruptions. If you want an upbeat and professional experience choose Cole! Thank you again!
