Officiant.

Max is such a kind man and we were honored to have him marry us.
Contacting Max was always a breeze, as he always answered me when I messaged and was very easy going.
Ive been to weddings where officiants rush people as they are busy but Max was never a stress.
I totally recommend Max to marry any couple as it was an amazing experience and he was absolutely fantastic!!♡

Wedding Officiant

Our wedding ceremony was absolutely perfect, thanks to Max! He was professional, warm, and made the entire process seamless. His words were heartfelt, and they truly captured the essence of our love story. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Highly recommend!

A wonderful experience!

Really enjoyed our experience with Max. He was so kind, professional and easy to work with. He helped us through the process of putting together the ceremony and was an excellent officiant. We’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant in the Haliburton area!

Reverend Ward is the man you want to perform your wedding.

Reverend Ward made our wedding so much less stressful. So many unforseen circumstances arose that forced us to change the date several times and Rev Ward just rolled with it. He was willing to travel if we wanted him to, he was more than patient with the continuous changes and he was very reassuring that everything was going to work out just fine. Thank you for your kindness and willingness to make our special day that much more special.

Couldn’t be happier!

My husband and I are so happy we chose Reverend Max to marry us. He was completely supportive of us customizing our ceremony and vows, but offered guidance based on his expertise to make it perfect. Leading up to the wedding, communication with Reverend Max was easy and prompt. On the day of, Reverend Max was warm, calm and engaging. Thank you Reverend Max for playing this very important role in our marriage!

Excellent Service

We had the pleasure of having Rev. Max Ward as our officiant are our intimate wedding in October. We can’t say enough good things about him! Not only did he brave the cold (on an island!) our ceremony started an hour late due to some guests getting lost and he was nothing but positive. He was very reasonably priced, kind & easy to communicate with, we would definitely recommend his services to a friend!

Highly recommend Max Ward

Max was competent, calm and just a perfect officiant for our day. We had to change things up a little bit and he was flexible and unruffled. Clearly enjoys what he does.
