Patrick Smiley - Marriage Commissioner

Patrick was such an amazing asset to our ceremony and wedding day as a whole. He made me and the crowd laugh, several times through the ceremony - which helped settle my nerves and lighten the mood. I sought out Patrick because I was looking for someone fun, carefree and self-sufficient; Patrick was exactly this. His love story questions created a perfect story to tell our guests and acted as our personalized vows as my now husband did not want to speak in front of the crowd. He arrived to the venue early and coordinated with the DJ and venue coordinator to arrange the sound system and get the lay of the land. I am SO grateful for all of his hard work and dedication and would HIGHLY recommend his services on your day ⭐️. Thanks again Patrick, you’re invited to party with us anytime!

We contacted Patrick to be our marriage commissioner very last minute and he was quick to reply. The ceremony he prepared was perfectly heartfelt. We wrote our own vows and it was the best ceremony I could have asked for. Patrick even helped us fix the issues we has with registry office. He was also very punctual and arrived at our ceremony location on time. We would 100% recommend hiring him.

Patrick did an amazing job with our wedding ceremony. From the Love Story questions we answered during our initial booking, Patrick was able to create a heart felt, genuine ceremony with some added humor (which was great, and exactly what we were looking for!). We received a ton of compliments about Patrick, with most of our guests saying he was the best officiant they had witnessed in a very long time. I highly recommend using Patrick as your officiant, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Patrick was always willing to answer any and all questions and was always accommodating. We loved that he offered customizable additional ceremony add ons like our hand fasting to really make our service unique and us! Would recommend Patrick to any couple!

Patrick did an outstanding job officiating our wedding. He had so many ideas and resources for vows, ceremony rituals, poems, etc etc. He also asked us lots of questions and was able to come up with a beautiful write up to share during the ceremony about our story. Highly recommend hiring Patrick for your wedding!!

We booked Patrick Smiley for our outdoor wedding ceremony in Kananaskis. He was very friendly, professional and flexible to our needs. He seriously did such a wonderful job, I am still amazed with how beautiful his words were. We couldn't have been happier! I would highly recommend him for a wedding!

We got married outside in January and Patrick was game to officiate! He was flexible in letting us customize our ceremony and write our own vows and took the time to ask us questions that would allow him to personalize our ceremony with stories. He also gave us a keepsake book of our ceremony and vows that will be so great to look back on.

Patrick was a joy to work with. He made our day so special with his special words. Would recommend him to anyone wishing to marry in Banff Canada.

Patrick did an amazing job on our wedding.
He performed the perfect personalized ceremony for our special day.
He was professional, friendly, accommodating and responded in a timely manner.
He answered all our questions & embraced some of our own additions.
We were able to include our parents in the ceremony which they really appreciated.
We couldn't have picked a better officiant ! We are so happy we decided to have Patrick perform our marriage.

Patrick was very helpful as our Officiant and made it so easy on us. All of my family has been married in the Church before so this was my first experience with an Officiant rather than a Priest. He was so accommodating and lovely to talk to. He offered for us to include our family and friends so that we could have religious readings if we wanted and was very open to modifying the ceremony to what suited us. We did not get to have Patrick with us for our rehearsal but he provided us with a very handy Rehearsal Guide. You would never have known he wasn’t at the rehearsal as the wedding day went so so smoothly. Thank you Patrick!
