Martin officiated our fusion wedding and it was amazing! His planning meetings beforehand really helped us to feel comfortable with him and he was able to get our story as a couple just right! Since we had a fusion wedding, Martin was able to seamlessly incorporate both cultures’ traditions into our ceremony.
Martin’s flexibility with meeting times was appreciated as both my husband and I work 9-5’s. Martin was the perfect fit for us and was exactly what we needed. Also, all the information around the marriage license, certificate, etc. that he provided was extremely helpful.

Definitely recommend his services!

I hired Martin to be my officiant and due to Covid I had to cancel my wedding. I gave Martin payment in full beforehand and even though I have given him 120+ days notice, he won't respond to my cancellation or return the $400+ that we paid. I know that there is a non-refundable deposit that is in the contract, but the remaining balance was paid in full. This is incredibly unprofessional of Martin to do and has really added a bad taste to the whole wedding process. He acted so nice and sweet when we interviewed him and yet this is how he treats us. I would avoid Martin and Ceremonies with Choice.

We had high hopes for Martin but after paying our deposit, unfortunately our emails were (and continue to be) ignored. Our wedding was postponed to the following year due to Covid. We acknowledge that he did demonstrate some flexibility in rescheduling, but when we chose a new date for our venue that he was not available for, he became completely unreachable and unresponsive. After 2 months of being ignored, we received an email saying he could be "potentially available" for our new date. We had total loss of confidence in his professional communication at that point. He does seem like a pleasant officiant if things go according to plan but be forewarned that unforeseen or extenuating circumstances (like Covid) may result in you being abandoned.

Martin was an amazing officiant! Right off the bat, he offered to meet with us as many times as we wanted, which we really appreciated. He helped personalize our ceremony by getting to know us and our relationship. He made sure that the ceremony was adapted to something that was comfortable for us and reflected our families. He is so easy going and easy to talk to which helped calm our nerves on the day of. I would definitely recommend him!

We did the marriage preparation classes with Martin (recommend the classes!) and that led to us feeling very connected with him. Several of our guests asked how we knew him because they were convinced we were friends since he made the ceremony so personal and heartfelt. Our ceremony was tailored to us, our relationship and the values we wanted expressed during the ceremony. Martin made us laugh and cry and it was perfect.

Martin's natural warmth and charm perfectly augmented our casual-setting wedding day. He took time to get to know us as a couple to ensure that our ceremony was tailored to us. Martin also made the prep-work leading up to the day was so much fun. If you want your wedding officiant to be the perfect combo of fun, organized and caring, he's your guy.

We had Martin for our wedding and we are so happy he officiated our ceremony. He came by recommendation of our photographer. We planned our wedding out of province and Martin was very accommodating in meeting on facetime beforehand and also in person the times we were in town. He was very helpful in giving us a guide on how the flow of the ceremony and examples that we could pick and choose from if we liked, which took a lot of stress off. we knew were were in good hands with him. He got to know us during our visits and spoke such kind words during the ceremony. He talked with ease and created a relaxed yet intimate feel for the ceremony. Our parents told us that people were coming up to them after the ceremony asking if he was a family friend because of how genuine he was and how it seemed he had known us for a long time! We were truly lucky to have Martin for our ceremony.

Martin was amazing. What I enjoyed most about Martin was he took the time to learn about our story and connect with us on a personal level. During the day of the wedding when all our nervousness was at their highest, Martin was very supportive and kept us calm during the whole thing. We really needed that. We enjoyed that he retold our story to give people the context of how we met and it made the ceremony really personal and warm. During the planning phase, he shared with us several templates for the ceremony structure and examples of past ceremonies. That helped us iron out the details lot quicker than looking up guides on our own. Thank you so much Martin. We'll never forget it.

My fiance and I hired Martin to be our wedding officiant as well as pre-marital counsellor on the advice of a colleague of mine who had worked with him in the past. We both agree that this was the best referral that we had ever received because Martin is AWESOME at what he does.

First of all, Martin meets you where you're at and doesn't impose his ideas on what a relationship should be on you. This is super important because every relationship is unique and has its own strengths and weaknesses. I love that Martin made us feel normal and respected our opinions and beliefs. Martin practices from a humanist perspective which values human relationships outside of the typical constructs of religion. This was great for us as I identify as Atheist and my partner as Agnostic. My husband and I were eager to be married to each other, not eager to have a wedding, and Martin made the experience exactly what we wanted... a celebration of us!

Martin is an engaging and thoughtful person who makes a concerted effort to make your wedding ceremony reflect who you are not only as a couple, but as individuals with unique character traits, interests and strengths. He allows you total freedom to help draft the ceremony and is helpful in providing suggestions that really reflect your values, beliefs and motivations.

We heard from many guests that our small, intimate ceremony, conducted by Martin was one of the most beautiful and thoughtful ceremonies they had ever witnessed. I'll have to take them at face value because it was a hard crowd to please haha

Martin's Marriage Prep sessions are of SO much value! We really felt like the sessions were completely worth the time and our relationship is so much stronger for it. If you think your relationship is perfect, it's still worth going to see Martin before getting married so you can unpack whatever can't be seen, or strengthen what is already there.

I would HIGHLY recommend Martin!

Martin was fantastic. He listened carefully in our initial meeting, and it seemed important to him to give us what we wanted for our somewhat unconventional wedding. He gets major bonus points on price and flexibility.

His business name reflects his service - we had the choice to do things how we wanted, and to have him say as much or as little as we wanted, and to have his words reflect the spirit of the event.

Martin is fantastic!
