When we got engaged nearly two years before our wedding, one of the first recommendations we received was to have Married By Cole as our officiant – and I’m so glad we did! From start to finish, Cole was absolutely incredible. He took the time to guide us through the entire marriage process and explained what to expect on the wedding day, which put us at ease.

Our ceremony ended up being a standout moment, not just for us but for all our guests. Through our calls and the online rehearsal, Cole truly understood our vision and tailored the ceremony to reflect our personalities. He even included a special moment including asking my father-in-law to sing "Dancing Queen" by ABBA and added a quote from The Office, making it uniquely ours.

The flow of the ceremony was seamless, with smooth transitions that made everything feel perfect. Cole was easy to follow, and his warmth and charisma made our day feel even more special.

If you're in Alberta and recently engaged, don’t hesitate – having Cole as our officiant was one of the BEST decisions we made!

I didn't know what to expect from the ceremony as it was an elopement so thought it would be fairly basic, but Cole made it truly amazing. He made everything so fun, upbeat, personalised - I honestly couldn't have asked for more. We loved everything Cole put together, and really appreciated his humour and energy! Thank you Cole!

Cole, you were incredible! Not only day of, but months leading up to. You provided such a personalized, and enjoyable experience. Jackson and I appreciated how much time you took for us, with the initial consultation, to getting to know us as a couple, and to meeting again with us a week before the wedding to go over everything. We don't know what we would have done without you!

I was freaking out about the ceremony, certain I would forget everything you had told us leading up, or worried I would mess up - and that didn't happen because of you. As soon as you started speaking with Jackson and I, it felt as though a life long friend was sharing our memories and our relationship with family and friends. Through personalized stories and perfect jokes to add light-heartedness to our ceremony, everything you did was perfect. Our guests continued to come up to us throughout the night, ecstatic at how incredible the ceremony was and so impressed with the job you did! We really lucked out finding you, and I'm so happy for the couples that have gotten to have you as their officiant, and the couples that will get you as their officiant, because it's an unforgettable experience, and one that will be talked about for the rest of their lives - because that's what Jackson and I have been doing since our wedding. You are something else, and anyone who gets to know you as a person and have you as their officiant is so freaking lucky! A million, billion, trillion thank yous, Cole!

Cole officiated our wedding in June, and we can’t say enough good things about him! He had us and our guests feeling at ease instantly, and as two people who don’t like attention on us, this made all the difference for my husband and I.

We were so happy with the ceremony and how personalized he was able to make it! A ceremony can be quick and straightforward, but we wanted something that played on our years together as a couple and who we are as individuals, and Cole was able to deliver even more than we expected. He managed to weave together all the legalities, sentimental pieces, and funny anecdotes, so beautifully – it’s really amazing how well he can represent two people that he only knows via an online questionnaire and a few phone calls. Not only were we happy with it, but many of our family and friends commented on how authentic and personal it felt.

Cole was organized, punctual and made everything easy for us, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. He even reviewed our personal vows for us to make sure they somewhat matched in length/tone, which was helpful! If you’re looking for an officiant and want a personalized ceremony, would absolutely recommend Cole!

There's a reason why Cole is consistently 5 stars. We would give him more if we could, tbh. Not to say that the other officiants we talked to weren't great, but there's something magical about Cole that set him apart from everyone else. Even from the moment you contact Cole, he's already trying to get to know you as a couple. Coming off of our first virtual meeting, we already knew in our guts that Cole had to be part of the wedding team. When we mentioned to the other vendors on our team that we had hired Cole, they had only great things to say about it, and he definitely exceeded our expectations. So to already be known in the wedding industry in that region speaks wonders about his professionalism and personality. From other reviews, one of the key things people tend to mention is that Cole "takes you on an emotional roller coaster....you're laughing one moment and then crying the next". That was the biggest feedback we got from our guests. Honestly, when our guests talk about our wedding, one of the first things they mention is Cole and how he was able to make them cry and laugh so much during the ceremony. It set the tone for the rest of the day. Although he may be present only at the beginning and towards the end of your wedding planning process, he truly does put in the work to make sure he knows his couples and curates an amazing ceremony.

Selfishly hope Cole stays in the game forever so I can have him again for our vow renewals in like 25/50 years.

Cole was such a great person to have officiated our ceremony. Through a few calls and our questionnaire he was able to get a sense of who we were and made our ceremony so special. He had the crowd cheering and laughing throughout and that made the moment so much fun.

Cole is hands down the best officiant ever! I have been to so many weddings and not a single officiant can top the amazing one at my wedding.. Cole! He made our wedding so perfect and all our guests have no lt stopped raving about him either. 10/10 recommend!!!

Cole was wonderful to work with for our vow renewal. His detailed questionnaire beforehand really made the ceremony special. He and our photographer Dave, had a great comradery which made it fun.
I highly recommend his services!

Cole officiated our September wedding in Banff, and honestly I can't imagine having had anyone else officiate. I will forever be grateful that he was available for our wedding, he made our ceremony so personal and truly one of the highlights of the day. We had always thought the ceremony would just be a quick, nervous part of the day, something to get through before the party. Cole changed that for us. From the day of our first consult he made us feel comfortable, he enabled us to have fun, and ultimately he made our ceremony something we will remember forever. The whole process was stress free and seamless. He even had our stoic family members laughing and crying along with us. The entire ceremony just felt so smooth, so comfortable, and so perfect. I would stand in a room of people staring at me for 20 minutes straight all over again just to experience it one more time, and I don't think I could say the same had it not been for Cole's magic touch.

In a world where having a friend or family member officiate your non-religious ceremony is becoming far more commonplace than hiring a stranger, I will never for a second regret hiring Cole for our day. He was perfect.

We are so glad we chose Cole to officiate our hiking elopement! We did a sunrise hike for our ceremony and he met us at the top. He is very flexible and willing to take on any adventure for your wedding ceremony, and so friendly and laid-back, which helped to take away any nerves. Cole customized our ceremony based on our pre-wedding questionnaire and it represented our relationship so perfectly. It was intimate, the perfect level of silly, and just so us. It was so special. Thank you Cole, for an incredibly memorable morning in the Rockies!
