    Backcountry Sunrise Wedding - the Duncan’s

    Cole was the most amazing officient we could have asked for. We planned our elopement backpacking into the Rockies and as many outdoor weddings go, plans were constantly changing due to wildlife, weather, snow, etc. Cole was quick to respond and gave great suggestions when new options were needed and was ready for anything. We ended up choosing a location he suggested and it turned out so beautifully. His speech was also so thoughtful and personalized- it’s something we will remember forever. Thank you Cole!

    Baby, It's Cole Outside! The Officiant of Many Weddings - For Good Reason!

    To us, Cole wasn't just an officiant. He was an animated story teller, recounting each memory as if he was there himself, and also the deadpan comedian, the silly jokester, and the genuine, sincere celebrant of our marriage that we needed him to be, all in one. As a highly regarded and well sought after officiant in the area, Cole surely lived up to his hype. He made our ceremony just that - OUR ceremony, with every playful detail of our story drizzled in, including photos of our pets, a magic appearance of chocolate, and our enjoyment of group selfies and fun pranks with family... all seamlessly woven into one unforgettable memory. While being married on the shores of Lake Louise was a dream come true, Cole is what made the experience truly perfect. Thank you, Cole!!!!

    All You Need is Cole

    Cole will forever hold a special place in our hearts and he’s at the top of the list of the most meaningful choices we made for our wedding day. From the moment we chose him to officiate, we felt it was right and he exceeded every hope we had.
    We dreamed of a ceremony that felt simple, deeply personal and filled with genuine laughter - something that truly reflected us. Cole understood that completely and brought it to life in the most beautiful way. He struck the perfect balance between heartfelt and joyful, creating moments that felt intimate, authentic and unforgettable.
    He didn’t just officiate our wedding, he made it extraordinary. He set the tone for the entire day and made it feel so special, so warm and so full of love. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful he was, they absolutely adored him.
    Choosing Cole was one of the best decisions we made. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have him be part of such an important moment in their lives.

    The BEST officiant

    Cole was truly amazing. We only met with him briefly a couple of times and completed a simple questionnaire, but the way he put our relationship into words was incredible. So many of our guests asked how long we had known him because it felt like he had known us forever. He was personable, engaging, and kept everyone involved throughout the ceremony. We were genuinely blown away by how perfectly he captured our story. I could not recommend him enough!

    A wee Scottish adventure 🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Cole! What a star you are. To think that we had only met you once via video from the other side of the world is so crazy, considering the beautiful ceremony you conducted for us. Your words read like they had been written by an old friend and we will cherish them forever.
    You were such a fun addition to our wee elopement and we will always remember meeting you in a dark carpark at 5am to go hiking to the most special spot to say our vows. From watching the stars as we started, to sharing a dram before the sun came up, you were the perfect adventure celebrant to share our biggest adventure yet.
    To anyone reading this, if you want a super chilled out, personal and fun wedding then Cole is your guy. Everything was so laid back and easy and just how it should be.
    Remember to visit us in Scotland one day for that dram.🥃 Slainte from the Highands

    The Perfect Ceremony, Thanks to Cole

    Honestly, this review could be summed up in one word: perfect. Cole was an absolute dream to work with—kind, professional, and incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. He brought such a fun and personable energy to our day and crafted a ceremony that felt uniquely “us.”

    So many of our guests told us how beautifully the ceremony captured who we are as a couple—and we couldn’t agree more. It was heartfelt, thoughtful, and full of intention. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant.

    Vincent and Justine Wedding May 2025

    Cole Hofstra is the best officiant we’ve ever seen—and we’ve been to many weddings. We were so impressed after seeing him officiate a close family member’s ceremony that we immediately reached out to have him officiate our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. Cole has a beautiful way with words—balancing heartfelt meaning with just the right touch of charm and humor. He made everyone feel welcome, and truly took the time to customize the ceremony to reflect who we are as a couple. It was personal, moving, and unforgettable—exactly what we had hoped for and more. All of our guests couldn’t stop complimenting him after the wedding—he has a natural gift for making every word resonate and every moment feel special.

    10000/10 Recommend!

    Our elopement was even more incredible than we could have ever imagined, with a huge thanks to Cole! Right from the beginning stages of planning, to the actual wedding day, Cole was incredibly friendly, professional, speedy with replying, and just overall wonderful to work with! Cole prepared the most incredible ceremony, he had us laughing, crying, and just loving every second. Out of all of the weddings we have attended, our ceremony felt like the most personalized to the couple that we’ve ever seen, it was beyond any of our expectations and we could not recommend Cole enough! Thank you Cole for taking the time to get to know us prior and truly personalizing and making our day incredible!
