Ashley R. Sent on 29/09/2024Absolutely wonderful!
I have the utmost thankfulness and appreciation for Grace and the spectacular job she did for us during our wedding planning process, not to mention the ceremony itself!
From the first initial email, there was always excellent communication about what was forthcoming and needed from us to ensure success.
Each meeting was very comfortable and open – she cared to get to know us as a couple, and was so thorough in explaining the ceremony layout, and ensure we knew that this was our day and that she was simply there to lead us through it (and of course, legally bind us!!)
She ensured we got our marriage certificate on time and knew all the applicable information in preparing such documents; she then took care of the documents until the wedding day for us! One less thing for us to worry about with a million other things happening!
Come rehearsal day – she was prompt and worked so easily with our wedding party, parents and coordinators to ensure the ceremony was going to look exactly how we wanted it.
Finally – wedding day! Grace coming to say hello before the ceremony was such a nice, welcoming touch. During the ceremony, she had so much composure and control, yet was able to deliver her notes with such excitement and enthusiasm. She involved our ceremony guests. She made us laugh. She told me to take a moment and breathe, when I started to get emotional.
I had so many wonderful comments after our ceremony and throughout our wedding day about the officiant and great she was – and I really could not agree more!
Thank you again, Grace, for being a part of our day and making it truly memorable!

Brittany W. Sent on 20/11/2023Grace is incredible - Highly recommend!
Grace exceed our expectations at every level. She was truly the best officiant we could ask for. She was professional, helpful throughout the entire ceremony and rehearal process, and such a boss - commanding everyone in the room in the most gracious way.
My husband and I hate being the center of attention, and she made us both feel so comfortable at the ceremony, and during everything leading up to our wedding.
If there was one reason to go with Grace, it's her ability to prep everyone and stage the whole ceremony (without any guests/spectators knowing she's staged it so well).
At the rehearsal, she guided every one to a tee, managing all the different parties with ease, and we all rehearsed the ceremony to a point where everyone knew their role and what do to on the day. Then, on the day, she quietly guided us (when needed) through the steps (without anyone hearing her speak) from a guest perspective. It was staged and acting mastery. I was so impressed and so at ease for the entire wedding ceremony.
What's more: The organizing team at Stanley Park Pavilion (who do hundreds of weddings per year), were so impressed by Grace's organization and guidance, that they've added her to their preferred vendor list.
I recommend Grace at the highest level. She is amazing, and she will nail it for you, like she did for us. A true professional.

Grace, you were amazing (if you're reading this)! We appreciate everything you did for us, and we will recommend you to anyone who needs an officiant. Thank you!Kevin and Grace Fatkin's reply:
Thank you for your lovely kind words, Brittany and Jag. I say again that I had a fantastic time helming your wedding; you and your fabulous wedding party—not to mention your families—were so warm and receptive (and, yes, obedient😁) through the whole process I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience from start to finish. -

I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing Kevin was with officiating our wedding. He was on the ball, respectful and made us laugh. He made sure we were comfortable with the ceremony and allowed us to add our thoughts into the ceremony. He was forgiving when we kept forgetting to send through our thoughts (our minds were all over the place as we had our wedding in such short notice) and was prompt in getting back to us when we had questions. He organized two meetings with us to organize everything and was thorough. I 110% recommend Kevin and will be recommending him to friends and family when they get married!! Thank you Kevin!! -

If you want an officiant who will make your guests laugh and cry at just the right time give Kevin a call. We first met him for a coffee at a Tim Hortons, and within moments we could tell just how good of a person he was. During our ceremony he subtly but very effectively orchestrated and directed the ceremony to make sure it went flawlessly. The previous weddings in our families have typically been performed by priests, but despite this change our families were overjoyed with how beautiful and smooth the ceremony went. We would recommend Kevin wholeheartedly to any couples in need of an officiant, he’s someone that we’re hoping to stay in contact with and call a friend. -

Michael L. Sent on 20/09/2021Grace is the Absolute Best!
When it came time to deciding who to pick for our officiant, there was no question. Grace had been the officiant at our best friend's wedding and we absolutely wanted to have her for ours. Covid threw a huge curveball at us and we ended up delaying our wedding by a year to 2021, but throughout out it all, Grace was very supportive, responsive, and on top of things. She has such a bubbly personality and is very quick-witted and funny; it was a blast just meeting up over coffee to go over the details for the big day. Grace used to be a school teacher and it absolutely shows; from gentle reminders to getting our vows submitted on time to the way she commanded the room during the ceremony. Everyone at the wedding gushed over how amazing Grace was and how she led the ceremony. It was heartfelt, with pops of humor interjected throughout. She made the ceremony very personalized to us, making the whole thing very intimate for our friends and family. We absolutely loved it and can't recommend her enough!
