Maggie C. Sent on 05/12/2024Thank you Kevin for marrying us!
I knew I wanted Kevin to be our officiant as soon as we secured a date and venue for our wedding. This was over a year in advance when I reached out to Kevin. He kindly suggested I contact him again within the year for a more realistic timeline. I vividly remember reaching out to him on the exact one-year mark before our wedding. I just knew it had to be Kevin and no other officiants because I was so impressed when I saw him officiate my friend's wedding a few years back, and his name had always stuck with me.
We can't thank Kevin enough for being such an incredible officiant on our wedding day. Despite the intense atmospheric river storm and wind, with rain constantly coming at him, Kevin remained calm and professional. His back was probably soaked, but he kept his composure and delivered a beautiful ceremony.
We also loved the personal touches Kevin offered. He provided a selection of rituals, and we chose the plant ritual, which added such a meaningful and unique element to our ceremony. We now have a plant baby to take care of in our new home as newlyweds. His fluency in both English and Cantonese was a huge plus, as some of our guests spoke only one or the other, making the ceremony accessible and heartfelt for all.
Even though we only met Kevin in person once, during the rehearsal before the wedding, we felt that he really took the time to understand our family dynamics. His guidance during the rehearsal was super helpful in prepping us and our families for the big day. When he noticed that my husband's mom had difficulty walking, he kindly offered to assist her in getting from her chair to the signing table without hesitation. He truly cared about the flow of events, the placement of things, and the overall vision of the ceremony.
We also appreciated how Kevin was mindful of the photography. Without us asking, he instinctively stepped out of the frame during our first kiss, ensuring the moment was captured perfectly. As we look back at the photos, we were pleasantly surprised to see that he had stepped aside again when we exchanged our personal vows — such a small but incredibly thoughtful touch.
We are so grateful for Kevin’s professionalism, kindness, and the care he put into making our wedding ceremony unforgettable. Thank you, Kevin, for braving the storm and making our day truly perfect! -

Angela Sent on 27/10/2024The best and most thoughtful officiant!
Our wedding planner recommended Kevin as our officiant for our wedding, and he was the best! We had a bilingual English/Mandarin wedding and Kevin was flawless in both languages. He made our guests feel comfortable and his delivery and script were amazing. He helped guide us each step of the way, and even if we forgot what to do next, he was there to subtly nudge us along.
We will forever be grateful to Kevin for incorporating a memorial/tribute for our dog, Amethyst, who passed away two days before the wedding. We messaged him the day before to let him know the news, and he generously and seamlessly worked in a portion of our ceremony for Amethyst at our request.
Thank you, Kevin, for being the best officiant ever! We cannot thank and recommend you enough! :)Vancity Officiant's reply:
Dear Angela,
Actually, I felt so grateful to have officiated your wedding ceremony. It was such shocking and heartbreaking news to me when you told me that Amethyst crossed the Rainbow Bridge the day right after our rehearsal and just 2 days prior to your wedding. As a dog lover and pawparent, I believe I know how you feel, but no words were able to comfort you. Thank you so much for your trust in me that I was able to include Amethyst into part of your love story and to share it with all your friends and family at the ceremony. On top of that, thank you for bringing his collar so that I could incorporate it with the unity plant ritual. I'm sure your marriage will be embraced with his enduring love. He’ll be watching over you and continuing to live in your hearts as the plant grows!Â
With love, Kevin. -

Hi Grace, thank you so much for sharing your rating with me and the community! I was so glad that you're well prepared and organized so that everyone of us was able to avoid kissing by the rain but showering by your love on the day. It's definitely the most romantic moment where you two kissed in the rain under the umbrella when I announce you husband & wife!
May your "Love comforteth like sunshine after rain"! (William Shakespeare) -

Vancity Officiant was truly amazing. Kevin was the best officiant we could've asked for. He was very professional, kind, and personable. His sense of humour was admirable and definitely took off loads of stress during the most stressful time in our lives! The team's response to emails was always quick and professional. We received so many compliments on our officiant, everyone loved him! My husband and I will recommend them to anyone planning their wedding.Vancity Officiant's reply:
Dear Jaden, thank you for your glowing review and kind words. I'm delighted to hear that my ceremony made your experience enjoying and memorable. I hope to see you again at your friends' future weddings! -

Kevin officiated our friend's wedding and it was the first time l sat through a ceremony in 2 languages, cantonese and english hence l decided to hire Kevin for our wedding when it came time. Upon hiring Kevin, he sent us information and details on how he officiates the ceremony, reminders on when to get our marriage license and options for different rituals couples can choose to do during the ceremony and we went with personalized love story. Then, Kevin sent us a separate questionnaire about our love story for him to come up with a script for our big day. Throughout the wedding planning process, l would ask Kevin questions even though he already told us with the initial email communication and Kevin would always patiently answer and always within 24 hours.
On the wedding day, my husband was actually worried the personalized love story script Kevin wrote up would be better than his personal vows, that's how much work Kevin puts in for his couples.
Many of our relatives and guests complimented on how professional yet lighthearted but not at all boring the whole ceremony was and that is all thanks to Kevin putting in the work to get answers from our questionnaire and putting it all together so well for us, especially when most of our relatives only speaks Cantonese. It was a huge bonus the ceremony was officiated in 2 languages and even my relatives could fully understand what was going on so they don't lose interest.
I highly recommend Kevin for those who are looking for a fun yet professional ceremony even if you aren't looking for someone that speaks multiple languages! -
