    Patient and Accommodating

    We contacted Sarah within a month of our ceremony after reading countless reviews about her amazing service. We opted for an intimate wedding and really liked the reviews that stated how personalized her service was. The initial phone call was very relaxed. She asked us questions to get a better idea of what kind of couple we are, and she gave us a summary of her work and how she would go about crafting a ceremony uniquely for us. Sarah has been in the business for a long time and her expertise is definitely reflective of that. Once booked, she invited us to her home to go over the details of the ceremony and what to expect on the day. She was kind and patient with all of the questions that we had, and included us in the editing process for the readings that she had written. She also made sure to go over both the readings and itinerary multiple times so that we understood all that was required. With less than a month to go, Sarah made us feel welcomed in her home and prepared for the ceremony. On the day of, her words brought tears to our eyes and evoked laughter from our guests. We would absolutely recommend having Sarah for your ceremony and honestly cannot say enough good things about her service.

    Sarah Bunnett-Gibson's reply:

    Thank you so much for your review, Yvonne. I am so pleased to have given you a service that you loved! You both had a beautiful wedding day and were fortunate to be surrounded by such a close group of loved ones. I really enjoy doing services for couples with intimate ceremonies like your own - there is something very sweet and sentimental about it, but also something very real. You are both very blessed to have each other in your lives. I know you are going to grow old together in love. Wishing you all the best in the next chapter of your lives!

    A personalized, unique ceremony!

    Sarah officiated our wedding this summer, and created a unique and personalized ceremony that reflected the two of us as a couple. It was the perfect blend of serious and lighthearted, and many of our guests commented on how lovely they found the ceremony. We enjoyed working with Sarah and her assistant, Gloria over the past year of wedding planning, as they were always quick to respond, flexible, and accommodating. Thank you so much, Sarah, for making our day so wonderful!

    Sarah Bunnett-Gibson's reply:

    Thank you very much, Ainsley! It was such a delight for me to be a part of your wedding day and such a pleasure to work with you both as well. You and Alex make a wonderful couple! I am so happy you were this pleased with your ceremony. Best wishes and so much happiness to you both in this next chapter of your lives!

    Wonderful and professional!

    Sarah officiated our wedding in November and we couldn't have been happier! She really took the time to get to know us and deliver a service that was perfectly "us," and so many of our family and friends commented on how lovely it was and how she really captured the essence of our relationship. We highly recommend Sarah!

    Sarah Bunnett-Gibson's reply:

    Amy, thank you for your review! I am happy that you are happy! You and Andrew were such a wonderful couple and I enjoyed writing you a special service. Wishing you both a beautiful, happy marriage!

    Sarah officiated at our same-sex wedding ceremony at Graydon Hall Manor in November. She was excellent from the day we met her, a year before the event. Sarah took the time to get to know us and consequently was able to personalize her address. We also asked for humour and a reference to God. Our guests reported being moved to tears from the beauty and sincerity of her words. Sarah is a warm-hearted person who is very accomodating and provides guidance as required. We cannot say enough good words about her professionalism and our experience. We highly recommend Sarah - Denis and Marcos

    Sarah Bunnett-Gibson's reply:

    Denis and Marcos,

    You were both so sincere and clearly in love. Working with your personalities and your enthusiasm was very inspiring. I appreciated your attention to little details that contributed to a soulful and elegant wedding day experience. See you in 10 years for a fabulous re-commitment service!!!

    With caring,
    Sarah

    Sarah was so helpful in answering all of our questions leading up to the wedding, and her expertise and experience made us feel confident in having chosen her as our officiant. I had always thought of the wedding ceremony as a formality that we just had to get through in order to get to the fun, however I can honestly say that our ceremony was one of the best parts of our wedding. Many of our guests have also said that it was one of the best ceremonies they have ever witnessed. I think one reason for this is that Sarah personalizes each of her services and is very prepared ahead of time so our ceremony was true to us as a couple and went very smoothly. Thank you Sarah for making our wedding so memorable! I would highly recommend Sarah to any couple looking for a wedding officiant!

    Sarah Bunnett-Gibson's reply:

    Lauren and Nick,
    Your words are so lovely! Thank you!
    I completely respect your honesty when you said that you were "thinking of the ceremony as a formality". This is very understandable and I believe this is what many couples think until we start working carefully on their personalized words. You are not a template couple, you deserve a unique ceremony.

    I know words were very important to you both and that was obvious in your questionnaire responses and your beautiful vows!

    Thank you for allowing me to share your day with you!

    Warmly,
    Sarah

    Sarah was amazing! In fact she made the "officiant" part of my wedding the easiest by far. Sarah was understanding, flexible and able to provide us with EXACTLY what we wanted. For context, we wanted a non denominational wedding (not religious) and she hit it out of the park. During the ceremony she made everyone feel at ease, she was funny and endearing. Sarah took the time to get to know both myself and my husband and it showed. She was thorough and the attention to detail was second to none. It felt as though we were being married by a friend that had known us for years. I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have found someone so professional and experienced. Thank you Sarah for everything! I highly recommend Sarah.

    Sarah Bunnett-Gibson's reply:

    Daniel and Arsheya,
    I am overwhelmed and extremely thankful to hear all your praise about my Officiant services. You were both positive, fun, authentic and a true delight for me to work with. I'm really glad that I was the lucky person to be your Officiant. Blessings of love and laughter to you both!
    Warmly,
    Sarah

Thank you Sarah!

    Sarah Bunnett Gibson was friendly and welcoming right when we first met her. She reviewed her process very throughly with us and guided us through the customized vows, ceremony procedures, and what to expect on our special day. With Sarah's customized vows and guidance, you can tell that she comes with great and many years of experience. Thank you Sarah for making our special day go so smoothly. Very highly recommended.

    Sarah Bunnett-Gibson's reply:

    Hi Nhu-y!
    What a nice surprise to have seen this today! Your wedding was so beautiful and happy in the stunning atrium of Casa Loma. I will always remember Creighton delighting us all with his violin playing to open your elegant service! What a talented man with the good sense to find a wonderful woman like you!
    Thank you for letting me share in your happiness. What a memorable wedding day!

    Our wedding in Toronto

    Two months after same-sex weddings became legal, the Reverend Sarah Bennett-Gibson Solemnized our marriage. It was extremely moving. My husband’s Geat Aunt and Uncle were witnesses to our wedding and then had a small reception at there home. It’s hard to forget that day!

    Elegantly Detailed!

    Sarah's skills are phenomenal- in the midst of all the chaos of planning a wedding; sessions with Sarah seem to transport you a tranquil place. She took the time to get to know us as a couple first; then, tailored our vows to reflect our relationship. Exceptional!!!

    Sarah Bunnett-Gibson's reply:

    Aren't I flattered! Thank you so much for your appreciation! You two were such a delight to work with. I knew right from the start how much the ceremony meant to both of you and I was so pleased to make you happy. Thank you, thank you!
