A Good Choice: Friendly and Flexible
Rev. Gerald is a charismatic and soft-spoken man, very professional but with a good sense of humour. He was kind and warm and really helped us feel at ease.
We are very pleased with our choice and the way our ceremony transpired. Our guests also complimented us on our choice of officiant.
Sincerely,
Scott and Martina Newell

Beautiful People
I just wanted to write this review to let everyone know what an amazing experience we had with Rev. Gerald. My Husband and I had a last-minute small ceremony in our condo we planned it only a week before our ceremony with just our closest friends. Rev. Taillefer responded promptly and gave me all of the information of the ceremony and worked with me to create the perfect script and style of our ceremony. I want to add that this was all at a very reasonable price point. We decided to do traditional style vows, and finished the ceremony with a beautiful hand tying ceremony. He is experienced and very flexible to provide you the type of ceremony YOU desire. I have been to many wedddings where the officiant puts on too much of a show of their own jokes and quirks into someone else’s ceremony and rambles on a lot with corny literature no one cares for. Which is why it’s important to find an officiant that respect your wishes and is no-nonsense and pleasant to work with. This is what you will get with Rev. Taillefer, a professional, pleasant, and truly a kind and beautiful person. All who attended my ceremony commented on how great our officiant was, and loved his open-minded yet still traditional personality. We also had the pleasure of meeting his wife Rev. Angela who also came to our ceremony and she was also so sweet and loving to us. I’m so thankful I found these beautiful people to share our special day with us. Our day went exactly as we had hoped for and we couldn’t have been happier. The entire room was nothing but smiles.

City Hall Wedding
Reverend Angela was absolutely amazing. She helped with all the aspects of planning the ceremony to ensure a very stress-free experience. Due to my busy work schedule, I was only able to communicate with Reverend Angela by email and she was very accommodating and responded very quickly to all my emails. Reverend Angela sent sample vows and readings which made the process easier and less daunting and we were able to pick from the list she provided. During the ceremony, her calm presence really helped my husband and I as we were nervous. She also has a really soothing and gentle voice. I would definitely recommend her as an officiant. She made our wedding memorable and most of all, reduced the stress that accompanies planning the ceremony.

Rev. Angela
We had talked to a few officiants and we always went back to my first pick which was Rev. Angela and we are truly grateful and thankful we did! She helped us from day 1 with any questions or concerns and we did just get married 2 days ago and she is still helping us with questions we have about our own list of things to do now like licensing, name change etc.
What I loved most was the choices given, you get to customize your wedding to fit your personal preferences and we added that extra special touch with the symbolic blessing and felt very moved and touched by that! We will be forever grateful to Rev. Angela
