Cory was wonderful to work with! He responded quickly to our inquiry and set up an intro call to get to know us and figure out which officiant from his team would be the best fit. We went with Mike, and wow, were we impressed!

Mike took the time to really get to know us, and it absolutely showed in the ceremony. He made it so personal and heartfelt, while still keeping it fun and engaging. So many of our guests actually asked us afterward how we knew him because the way he told our story made it seem like he was one of our longtime friends! We were so impressed with Mike and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who will make their ceremony feel truly personal.

My wife and I spent a LOT of time researching wedding officiants, and after a ton of time and effort, we decided to move forward with Cory Dueck from Wild Rose Officiants. Looking back, we couldn’t be happier that we did!

From the very first time we spoke with Cory, he was laid back, approachable, and incredibly attentive to the vision we had for our wedding. He didn’t just show up and read a ceremony for us. He genuinely helped us shape the entire ceremony so it felt like us.

Cory also brought something that is absolutely priceless during wedding planning: a sense of calm. He made us feel comfortable, reassured us when we needed it, and helped take some of the stress out of the process. Anyone who has planned a wedding knows that a little less stress is worth its weight in gold!

His experience really showed from the beginning. He guided us through the process, answered our questions, offered great suggestions, and made the whole experience enjoyable.

Then came the rehearsal day, which was the first time we actually met Cory in person. Honestly, within minutes it felt like we had known him for 20 years. He jumped right into the jokes, kept everyone relaxed, and helped lay out exactly how the ceremony would flow. He also gave the wedding party some great tips to keep the nerves down and the energy up for the big day.

And then came wedding day.

Cory was there early, hung out with us, joked around, and once again helped keep everyone relaxed. As a groom, having someone who can help set the tone and take the edge off those pre-ceremony nerves is something you don’t realize you need until you have it. Cory absolutely nailed that part.

Then we started noticing something pretty special.

Before the ceremony even began, Cory was interacting with our guests, making them laugh and feel comfortable. By the time the ceremony started, everyone was already having a great time.

And the ceremony itself? Absolutely perfect.

It was exactly what we wanted, and Cory delivered it flawlessly. He even took the awesome selfie that we’ve included with this review! 😊

After the ceremony, we had SO many guests come up to us and tell us it was one of the best ceremonies they had ever attended.

But there was one comment we heard over and over again:

“Is the officiant a friend or family member?”

Everyone genuinely thought Cory was someone we had known for years.

And the funny thing is, when we started this journey, he wasn’t.

But after everything, he absolutely feels like he is now.

Cory, thank you for being such an important part of our wedding day. You didn’t just officiate our ceremony, you helped make it one of the most memorable parts of our entire wedding. You absolutely crushed it, buddy, and we feel incredibly fortunate that we found you.

For any engaged couples looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony personal, fun, relaxed, meaningful, and something your friends and family will be talking about long after the wedding is over, reach out to Cory.

We can’t recommend him highly enough.

100% the best in the biz! ❤️

Cory was an exceptional officiant, and we are incredibly grateful that he officiated our wedding day. We cannot say enough good things about him. Right from the beginning, Cory was kind, professional, and easygoing. He took the time to truly get to know us as individuals and learn our love story, which was illustrated seamlessly during the ceremony. The entire experience felt genuine and deeply meaningful. So many of our guests complimented us on how lovely the ceremony was, and we owe it all to him. We highly recommend him as an officiant; you will not regret this decision!

Thank you so much Cory for making our ceremony so special and beautiful; it is a moment we will treasure forever! Also, I am so sorry I had to use your handkerchief (our wedding party is too) but thank you! Without that, I would have definitely ruined my makeup from all the crying. We only hope the best for you and Wild Rose Officiants!

Cody officiated our wedding and was absolutely amazing!
We were extremely pleased with everything. He made our ceremony feel so personal by incorporating our story, which made it even more meaningful and special to us.
Cody was professional, relaxed, and brought such a fun and comfortable atmosphere to our ceremony. We highly recommend him to any couple looking for a personalized, relaxed, and enjoyable wedding ceremony.

We had Mike Graybeal as our officiant for today and he was hands down the most amazing person for the job!
We were so appreciative of the amount of work he put into our ceremony and he really got to know us and our story and told it so well. I would highly recommend Mike if you are in the Calgary area.
With everything we have gone though with my husbands health I couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust.
Thank you so so so much for an amazing wedding experience!

From our very first interaction, we knew Cory was the perfect person to marry us. He immediately made us feel comfortable and felt like part of the family from day one. There was never a single awkward moment—just genuine conversations and excitement for our wedding.

Cory took the time to get to know us by asking thoughtful, detailed questions so he could create a ceremony that truly reflected our relationship. It was obvious how much he cared about making our ceremony personal and meaningful, rather than just reading from a script.

He struck the perfect balance between humour and heartfelt emotion. Our ceremony was romantic, engaging, and filled with so many genuine moments that had our guests both laughing and tearing up.

One thing we appreciated most was how supported we felt throughout the entire process. Cory always had our backs, whether it was answering questions leading up to the wedding or quietly guiding us through the ceremony itself. He brought such a calming presence that allowed us to relax and simply enjoy every moment.

If you’re looking for an officiant who is professional, personable, and truly invested in making your ceremony unforgettable, we couldn’t recommend Cory and his company more highly. Thank you for giving us a ceremony we’ll cherish forever!

Everything went smoothly from start to finish. The ceremony was well organized, everything happened on time and exactly as planned. Our officiant made the whole process feel easy, comfortable, and stress-free. We truly appreciated the professionalism and warm atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Cory performed our wedding ceremony and supported us through some hiccups leading up to our day.
We sincerely could not recommend Wild Rose Officiants more. We will absolutely tell every couple we know, that’s in need of an officiant, to check out Wild Rose
Our day would not have been the same without them

We are very happy we chose Cory Dueck for our wedding even though we had other options close by. He is very fun and easy to connect and work with from start to finish. We love how we were able to customize the ceremony to fit what we wanted as a couple and how he gave us plenty of tips leading up to our wedding day. One of the things we really loved about Cory was how calming his voice and presence was during the ceremony and how he would whisper words of encouragement which helped calmed our nerves. A huge thank you for that! Overall, we are very glad we got him to officiate our wedding and we definitely recommend him!

We had a wonderful experience with Alina as our ceremony host. She was professional, organized, and made the whole ceremony feel warm, personal, and truly special. From the very beginning, she was easy to communicate with, attentive to details, and made us feel calm and confident on such an important day.

Alina created a beautiful atmosphere, spoke so naturally and sincerely, and helped make our ceremony emotional, elegant, and memorable. She was punctual, kind, and clearly experienced in what she does. Everything felt smooth and well-prepared, and we really appreciated how much care she put into making the moment perfect for us.

She was also very respectful of our wishes and made sure the ceremony reflected us as a couple. We’re so happy we chose her and would absolutely recommend Alina to anyone looking for a professional, lovely, and talented ceremony host for their wedding . Thank you for making our day so beautiful
