Wedding Officiant

Hi everyone! Alex was wonderful, he always followed up with us and made templates. We had asked changes and at the end, the ceremony turned out beautifully, we couldn't gett better speech then what he prepared for us. It was very very special. Amazing person, very professional, thank you!

Was the most responsive company we had dealt with.

Stuart was very responsive over email from the get go and generally pretty patient in explaining to us the differences of the Old Roman Catholic church and the Roman Catholic Church.

It was important to us to integrate as much of the religious traditions into our outdoor ceremony as possible. We chose to do communion, as that was required for either a long-form or a short-form religious ceremony. While it did lengthen the schedule, it was a very inclusive and beautiful part of the mass and we wouldn’t change it.

The rehearsal dinner prep was essential to calming our nerves; gave us a sense of the religious vows, as we wanted to add some personal ones too. Stuart had a great sense of humour throughout the rehearsal and the ceremony itself, which kept our guests (and us) calm and entertained. Recommend ☺

There are not enough words to express our gratitude towards Stuart and the Officiant services he provided.

We initially had no plans to have a religious ceremony, but had some pushback from parents to get married in the Catholic Church (but not until after we had already booked a courtyard ceremony at Liberty Grand), and needed to try to find an option that would suit our tastes but also make sure our families were happy.

Our wedding planner suggested Stuart by name (a huge plus as she's a very experienced professional) and we quickly contacted Stuart about being our Officiant.

Our first meeting with Stuart was wonderful - he took the time to get to know us, learn about what we were hoping for in our wedding, and talk through all of our options in terms of ceremony length, inclusions, etc. He told us that he would support us in our decisions and help us to ensure that our wedding ceremony went the way we wanted to, regardless of familial pressures.

On the night of the rehearsal, he helped to keep our (huge) bridal party in check and focused - a welcome relief. The most complicated part of the ceremony would be who would hold his Bishop's staff during the ceremony! :) We asked him to join us at dinner and by the end of the night he was close friends with both sets of parents (an easy task as he is so personable and friendly).

Our Ceremony was beyond our imagination. Not only did Stuart keep our Catholic ceremony quick. he was light-hearted and and had everyone laughing throughout. He kept both of our nerves at bay and ensured that everything ran smoothly.

We would (and already do!) wholeheartedly recommend Stuart to anyone looking for a great Officiant, especially if they would like to include Catholic traditions with a more modern touch.

If you are looking for the officiant who speaks Korean and English, strongly recommend Alex!

Bishop Stuart Met with us to discuss the details - very professional knowledgeable and was always available to answer our questions. Highly recommended. Our wedding was just as planned.

Everything was done prefect! Alex is very professional and make our lives a lot easier, the whole ceremony was flawless. Highly recommended, and keep in mind to take advantage of their early bird special, it's definitely worth it!

From start to finish Stuart was excellent!!!! The ceremony was beautiful and fun and he made it to fit who we are. Stuart was very helpful and made everything seamless and easy. I could have not asked for a better officiant. Thank you for making our wedding day so special.

Upon meeting Stuart Watson we were instantly at ease. He is humourous, easy going, very honest and was helpful during this process. He was available for a rehearsal prior to the wedding date and delivered an amazing ceremony for us. My family shared that he was funny and provided all the elements of the ceremony we were looking for.

Stuart Watson understood exactly what we were looking for and was very accommodating regarding the readings, ceremony rituals (he suggested lighting of candles by our mothers) as well as timing! By getting to know us he delivered a personal homily and also made our guests laugh a number of times.

My husband and I feel that we lucked out meeting Stuart Watson and are grateful that he was able to make our day so special! Thank you!
