Highly recommended!

Ben was excellent to communicate with and was extremely flexible in our planning. He regularly followed up with us incase we needed support with planning. We really appreciated Ben walking us through the more logistical side of things like the marriage licence and registration, he made it really simple and took care of everything! Ben gave us lots of tools to plan the script for our ceremony and was so flexible in customizing it to be exactly what we wanted. We would highly recommend Ben, no matter how big our small your ceremony is going to be, he will make sure it is custom to you and your partner! We are so glad he was part of our day!

Crake Wedding: Officiant Review for Ben Whitney

Ben was the best choice we could have made for our officiant! He was professional, timely, available for Zoom calls whenever we needed to go over any details, and was available for a rehearsal to ensure we felt confident with our ceremony!

My husband Trevor and I felt relieved leading up to our big day knowing exactly how things would go. Ben also took care of filing our paperwork for us which made the logistics of our big day less daunting.

You won’t regret choosing Ben to help you make your wedding day perfect!

Excellent !

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Ben! From start to finish, everything was absolutely flawless. He was organized, calm, and brought just the right touch of humor to the ceremony. Ben made everyone feel comfortable and confident, like we all knew exactly what we were doing. We’re so grateful to have had him as part of our special day!

Dream Wedding Ceremony

Ben came highly recommended from our wedding decorator and they really did nail the recommendation!

From the very start Ben was extremely thorough and professional. Early on when we first reached out, we were given the opportunity for a Zoom meeting and he asked all of the necessary questions and covered so many things that we hadn't even thought of to that point. His prep and planning made for a ceremony that was customized to our liking, but he made sure at every step of the way everything was covered.

When it came to the rehearsal, Ben was efficient, and made sure that the entire wedding party knew of their role through the whole ceremony. He was extremely friendly and easy to work with and it made everyone very comfortable with their role, and we were able to iron out all of the finer details that made our ceremony perfect.

On the day of, Ben came dressed to impress and with the kind of attitude that made our day go off without a hitch. We worked with him to come up with a script that had the best mix of humour, love and positivity that perfectly suited our personalities. The ceremony went exactly as we had practiced and everyone knew and executed their role and Ben was the primary reason behind that. We really couldn't have asked for it to have gone any other way and have received so many compliments about how beautiful our wedding was.

Wonderful Experience

We were aware of Ben Whitney's officiant services through word-of-mouth and high praise. From the beginning Ben has been very professional and detail-oriented. He helped us work through what the ceremony would look like and personalized it to fit "us," and guided us through all the legal aspects. On the day of the wedding he was present well in advance and married us without a hitch! We are so pleased that Ben was able to be our officiant and we can't thank him enough.

Friendly and Professional

We were so happy with our choice of Ben to perform our wedding ceremony. He was knowledgable about the whole process and very accessible by email, with quick response time. He made it easy for us to plan everything from out of province by meeting over Zoom when needed. His selection of suggested reading for our wedding ended up helping us find the perfect passage to capture our story. With various style scripts for the ceremony, it was so easy for us to have the short and sweet, but warm ceremony we were looking for. We would definitely recommend Whitney Weddings to other couples!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
