    All around wonderful experience with Mary!!

    Mary took the time to get to know us, the type of wedding we wanted and provided guidance when we needed it. She was always quick to respond to our emails and was flexible with our meeting times. She has a very calming presence yet was quick to laugh with us too! She even made sure her outfit matched our wedding colors!! A friend brought her mother as her guest, her mother said that even though she didn’t know my spouse and I that by the end of the ceremony she felt like she knew us 🥰

    Comforting and Helpful

    Mary was the first and only officiant my husband and I spoke to when looking for one for our wedding. During our meeting with her so made us feel so comfortable and helped to ease our nerves. We felt like we'd known her forever. The only issue we had was during the ceremony she forgot to hand me the mic for one of my lines and it shows in the video. But all in all she is an amazing officiant and I would highly recommend her.

    Wedding ceremony

    We got great and comfortable experience with Mary! She makes sure on every step that the venue is personalised as much.

    If I could give 10000 stars I would!!!!

    Reverend Mary McCandless was amazing! Not just for the service, she was there for us every step of the way!! There were snafooz but Mary kept everything going smoothly ( the entire venue had no internet so we lost music, which meant no wedding march) without missing a beat, Mary had the entire audience hum me down the aisle!!!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!! I SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT MY DAY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AS SPECIAL HAD MARY NOT BEEN THERE.

    Mary has the magic touch!

    After meeting Mary for the first time to discuss ceremony plans, we knew it was meant to be that she marry us. Like most couples, we had anxious thoughts and questions about how the big day would come together. As soon as she began explaining everything, we felt overwhelming relief. She answered all of our questions, including ones we didn’t even know we had, very calmly and clearly. Mary’s charming nature and gentle wit makes you feel like she’s known you for years, which gave us great comfort leading up to and on the day of.
    Mary offers not only a very professional experience but adds her own personal touches to make the special day so much more magical. We feel so lucky and were extremely honoured to have her officiate our wedding. Thank You, Mary!
    Love, Jessie & Jeremy

    The perfect officiant for our special day!

    First of all I just want to give a huge shoutout to Mary for officiating our special day. She made the whole experience so comfortable for us and had such a warm personality. From beginning to end we knew we made the right choice. With her experience she helped us plan every detail to create the exact ceremony we envisioned and bring it to life.

    Our guests still bring up what an amazing ceremony and how fantastic Mary was on the day. Highly recommended!

    Rev. Mary McCandless ~ Four Seasons Celebrations, Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Oh, nice! Love the picture of the two of you. Really captures your essence. I thought it was absolutely brilliant and to be surrounded by all that love, it doesn’t get better than that! Much continued happiness in your adventures together. Love, always. M*

    I cannot recommend Mary enough!!

    Mary was our officiant for our wedding on June 4th 2022. She was amazing throughout the entire process helping us cultivate the perfect wedding ceremony. We felt heard the entire time and relaxed because she had everything handled. My family still comments about how great she and the ceremony were. Post wedding she mailed us our vow books, a cute card, and even helped us when we had issues with Service Ontario sending us our wedding certificate (even though she didn’t have to!)
    Book with Mary - you won’t regret it!

    Seamless and Flawless Wedding Ceremony

    Mary was very professional from the moment we interviewed her straight through our ceremony and after. She made us feel at ease and we were able to ask her all the questions we wanted and she helped us make our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. She very helpfully provided us with a range of readings, poems and vows to fit all types of wedding ceremonies which gave us a chance to make the ceremony our own. During the ceremony itself, she guided us through each step so that we wouldn't feel awkward or worry about forgetting anything. We would totally recommend using Rev. Mary McCandless for your wedding.

    Polmenna Barn Wedding

    Mary made our wedding so beautiful and unique! She made the day less stressful due to her experience with weddings! She knew exactly what looks nice in photos and gave helpful tips to us who had not been in or too very many weddings! Our ceremony felt so personal and was extremely full of love! I appreciate everything that Mary did for us and would recommend her to anyone getting married!

    Rev. Mary McCandless ~ Four Seasons Celebrations, Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Katie, your wedding was memorable for all the right reasons. The venue, the weather, the attendants, even the guests, helped to made this day something special. You looked exquisite and the colours you chose couldn't have been lovelier. All in all, it is one I will remember, as the love surrounded us and helped us all to feel part of something special. Many blessings, M*
