    Fantastic Rev. Raymond Cross!!

    Ray was absolutely fantastic. He asked us how we wanted our ceremony to be conducted and he came prepared and organized. My husband and I had no concerns the day of about our officiant. Ray is calm, personable and is a joy to be around. He made our ceremony so special and his excitement and passion about marriage shines through!
    Look no further for the most considerate, personable, organized and courteous wedding officiant out there!
    Thank you Ray for making our wedding day so special, we’re forever grateful for you and your service.

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Diana. I was honoured to be asked to officiate for your wedding. You were a resplendent bride and your groom, Dalton, and all of your guests were absolutely delightful. I love an atmosphere like that for officiating weddings. What a beautiful memory we all put together for you as a launch for your life together.

    Absolutely Perfect

    We had an incredible experience with Ray for our wedding. He was very kind and helpful when it came to planning our ceremony. He was prompt to all of our events. Always smiling. He delivered a beautiful ceremony for us. It was the perfect day. 😊

    Brides Choice Officiant's reply:

    I love being married. Just celebrated our 53rd anniversary. For me every wedding for every couple is so very important. I always aim at leading a wedding in hopes each couple keeps remembering it because it has sealed their love for a lifetime. Thanks for your reassurance that I am approximating that goal.

    Great experience!

    My wife and I recently had the pleasure of having Raymond Cross officiate our wedding ceremony, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience.
    Raymond took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it truly showed during the ceremony. His words were beautifully crafted, capturing the essence of our relationship in a way that was both heartfelt and personal. He struck the perfect balance between creating a meaningful ceremony and incorporating elements of humor that resonated with our personalities.
    Not only did Raymond guide us through the entire process with grace and ease, but he also made sure that the ceremony reflected our values and beliefs. He was flexible, accommodating, and attentive to every detail, ensuring that our special day was exactly as we envisioned it.
    Our guests couldn't stop raving about how wonderful the ceremony was, and many specifically mentioned Raymond and his eloquent and heartfelt delivery. We feel incredibly grateful to have had Raymond as a part of our wedding day, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond to make their ceremony unforgettable.
    Thank you, for being the perfect officiant and making our wedding day so magical!

    Excellent Service

    Ray did an excellent job as our wedding officiant. He provided plenty of good advice, and was very easy to work with. Access to the Bride's Candy Store helped us to craft a custom ceremony. Ray helped us to feel confident everything would work well. Diane's presence as coordinator was comforting to the bride. We are very pleased with the Christian wedding service Ray delivered and highly recommend him.

    Brides Choice Officiant's reply:

    Throughout the process of working on your wedding I couldn't have been more pleased. We had a vision and the vision revealed itself with great precision yet we had fun doing it. What more could an officiant hope for?

    Amazing & wonderful!

    My Husband & I had the pleasure working with Rev Ray Cross! He is amazing, he made everyone feel comfortable & at the right time brought in some great humour, all my family & friends thought he was the best they have ever met, myself & my husband couldn't have asked for a better human to marry us! We can describe him as a happy, loving, excited individual with a zest for life! from day one of meeting with him up until the important day he made sure everything ran smoothly & just as they should, he was great with last minute changes and add ons. He is exactly who me and my husband wanted and needed to complete our wedding!! I would 100 times over and over recommend Reverend Ray Cross! What a wonderful man to have apart of our big moment with us! Thank you again Rev Ray!

    Brides Choice Officiant's reply:

    Amanda, you and David and all of your friends and family were a pleasure to work with beginning to end. Your rehearsal went so smoothly and your ceremony was an absolute delight. Thank you so much for the honour of serving as your wedding officiant.

    Couldn't be happier!

    Ray was our officiant at our wedding recently and we couldn't have been happier with the service he gave! Ray has a way of making all your guests feel involved in the ceremony instead of just being read to. He includes some fun commentary to lighten the mood and never fails to get a chuckle from the crowd. Ray is lovely to work with and it was our pleasure to create our ceremony with him. We will never forget how special he made our day!

    Brides Choice Officiant's reply:

    Every wedding ceremony is special to me - its just the way I approach every one. From beginning to end you gave me so much to work with - a pleasure to make your ceremony sparkle. I sure enjoyed the hot bar as well - hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream - spoiled for sure on a cool day. Thank you!
