Keith was amazing!

Keith was the perfect officiant for us! We had originally scheduled a couple of meetings with different people and as soon as we met Keith we knew he was it!

Day of, we signed the papers before the ceremony - a special moment with just us and our siblings. The ceremony was beautiful - the perfect mix of humour and sentiments! Lots of happy tears and laughs. It felt super special for both us and our guests!

Although Keith and Lynn have performed thousands of ceremonies, they do such a great job at making yours feel personal and truly capturing the essence of your unique love story.

Couldn't have asked for better.

We had planned for a couple of months to have a very basic private elopement on leap day, and then between what seemed like everything in the universe transpiring to foil our plans, and then our own silly mistakes, on so many occasions it felt near impossible that we'd be able to make it happen how we wanted. But in the end, even though it is truly an understatement to say that it came down to the wire, we managed to pull it off, and we wouldn't have been able to do so without Keith's understanding, kindness and flexibility. His service was exactly what we hoped for - quick, intimate, and low pressure. He even gave us a few laughs, which was exactly what we needed in that moment, and also lent itself to some great candid photos. We will be forever grateful to Keith for being absolutely integral in both helping us write a happy ending to our crazy adventure, and also a perfect beginning to the rest of our lives.

Charming and Delightful

It was a pleasure working with Keith for our nuptials he was a very pleasant, on time and courteous. Things were kept lighthearted and welcoming. I have no qualms recommending Keith to another couple seeking a similar pleasurable experience. He kept us up to date on everything and even post wedding was able to help us with a query. Thanks again!

Best Decision Ever

My now husband and I only had about a month to plan our wedding and Keith made every effort to help us pick the right ceremony for us and fit us into his schedule. Throughout the process he was very responsive and so kind and caring. He really made our day incredibly special. He made us all laugh and cry, then laugh all over again, then cry some more! Our guests all raved about how much they loved Keith and we couldn't be more smitten as well. We cannot recommend Keith enough. His after care in helping us sort out the paperwork was also amazing - the whole process couldn't have gone smoother and better. Having Keith officiate our wedding was the best decision we ever made, apart from marrying each other of course! The biggest of thank yous to Keith! We hope to see you again when we renew our vows! :)

Beautiful Ceremony!

If you are looking for a tailored and memorable ceremony experience, we would highly recommend Exceptional Ceremonies.

Keith was a pleasure to work with. He is charismatic, professional, and was helpful throughout the entire vow writing process. The rehearsal was also a nice addition and made our wedding party feel more at ease knowing their roles, what to do, and where to be.

Keith delivered the ceremony wonderfully on our wedding day. We received many compliments on how unique and enjoyable it was. Any couple would be lucky to have him as their officiant.

Thank you Keith!!

You would be an absolute fool to not hire them!

I have had the pleasure of working with Keith + Lynne for over 10 years and have had wonderful experiences. My clients have always been very happy with their experiences with them. They are professional, kind, and patient with their clients - always willing to take the extra time and extra steps to educated and inform all the important details that go into making their unique style of marriage ceremony.

When I got married in 2018, I did not hesitate to hire Lynne + Keith. I knew that they would take great care of our ceremony. They are more than just industry colleagues, they are like family and it was such an honour to have them be a part of my biggest day!

Wonderful experience preparing for our wedding

My husband and I worked with Keith to create a perfect, unique ceremony for our big day. Keith made the entire process so easy and stress free. We had so much fun working through everything to create our ceremony. We had several guests tell us that they genuinely enjoyed our ceremony. Highly recommend!!!
