Top Notch Wedding Officiant

We had the absolute pleasure of having Rev. Gord as our officiant for our wedding, and we could not have been happier with our choice. From the very beginning, Rev. Gord was warm, professional, and truly listened to our vision for the ceremony. He is a true collaborator. He guided us through the process with ease, providing valuable suggestions while also respecting our personal preferences and accommodating any edits we requested with grace.

Rev. Gord guided us through the entire process with ease, and on the big day, he created an atmosphere of calm and joy. His words were heartfelt and beautifully delivered, making the ceremony feel intimate and deeply personal. We received so many compliments from our guests on how special and meaningful the ceremony was, and we owe that to his thoughtful approach, incorporating our own love story and journey throughout.

One highlight of the planning process was a virtual meeting we had with him and our wedding party, during which we were also introduced to his daughter, a former wedding coordinator. She generously offered extra tips and considerations, which made our planning even smoother—all at no additional charge.

Gord also ensured that he was prepared for several back up plans that hinged on the weather and was able to switch on a moment's notice when we had to move our ceremony indoors.

We highly recommend Rev. Gord. He made our day incredibly memorable, and we are so grateful for his role in it.
