Getting married? We recommended Garry!

Gary was absolutely amazing as our wedding officiant! He brought warmth, professionalism, and a touch of humor to our special day. His eloquent words and calming presence made our ceremony truly unforgettable. Gary's attention to detail and his ability to customize our ceremony based on our needs made the moment incredibly meaningful. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to join us in matrimony. Thank you, Gary, for helping make our wedding day perfect!

Nice, experienced, professional officiant

I have known Garry for about 10 years now. He was a neighbour until I moved and is a great man. He is meticulous, detailed, honest, professional, a man of honour who does things right. If anyone has anything bad to say about him, then that person is not a good judge of character and no friend of mine!

We decided to get married with very short notice and Garry was my first pick. He did a great job to make it happen. You can look me up and call me you have any questions.
