Loved working with Amber!

Amber was a wonderful addition to our ceremony, and brought so much great energy and professionalism to our wedding day and throughout the planning process. Highly recommend working with Amber!

Amber is a delight!

Our experience with Amber was one of ease and simplicity. She has an excellent system to set up your ceremony exactly how you’d wish to, and helped us ensure all the details were just how we wanted. Our ceremony was one of warmth, from the heart, with some good laughs here and there, and she made sure that we were prepared for every step. I snuck in an extra surprise for my husband, and she was right in there with me plotting to make it happen!

I’m so glad she was our officiant, she was confident and elegant, but was so warm and happy to be there, she truly loves what she does and it shows!! I would recommend her to anyone who wants a confident, caring, humorous person to lead them through their vows, we were lucky to have her!

Hilarious officiant

Nathan was our officiant and was a blast to work with. He let us build our script to suit our tastes, while adding his own little well timed quips where appropriate. When I sent him a last minute change and left freedom for him to riff off my notes, he did and better than I could have hoped. I did prank him by pretending he gave me the wrong vows and I thought he might pass out on the spot, but he recovered like a champ and carried on (sorry Nate, but I knew you could take a joke).
We’re grateful we hired him and we are rooting for his and Amber’s success with all their future wedding officiating!

Nathan the Great!

Nathan was exactly the kind of officiant we were looking for to marry us. He brought humour, light-heartedness and a really positive vibe to the ceremony. We wanted the ceremony to reflect our personalities and Nathan did his best to get to know us, to understand our needs and to deliver a flawless ceremony. I would 100% recommend him to anyone getting married in Southwestern Ontario!

The best of the best!

This is my first wedding, second marriage. We saw that Nathan other gig is a stand up comedian and we were so thrilled with his personality that we gave him full range. The ceremony was tasteful, professional and down right good comedy which was what we wanted. Our wedding guest loved him so much, he made the ceremony fun and we all known how gruelling a ceremony can be traditionally. We highly recommend him and our guest has asked and inquired about him as well.

The best choice out there!

When we find out that Amber or Nathan will be the officiant for the day, we know it's going to be a great wedding! They are always professional, on time, and really get to know their couples.

Amber is amazing!

Thank you Amber for guiding us thru our wedding ceremony! Your calm presence helped my wedding nerves. And the funnies we planned during the ceremony made it fun for our guests too. We appreciate you!

Could Not Have Had a Better Experience!

We did not want a boring traditional ceremony, so when we stumbled across Nathan, we knew we found our officiant!
From the initial meeting to the ceremony scripts, to pre-Wedding day messages, Nathan was so easy to work with.
While he did throw in Star Wars references for James, we were able to "punk" him back - and he took it like a champ!
Our ceremony was so fun and Nathan helped make it so special and personalized. It was an absolutely perfect ceremony.
I highly recommend Nathan if you are looking for a fun ceremony and lots of laughter.
Thank you, Nathan, for make our day even better! You are amazing at what you do :)

Nate was an absolute dream to work with. From our first “meeting” (zoom) to the day of it was just an absolute pleasure to work with him.

He is funny, charismatic and efficient. We got so many compliments. Many people saying it was the best ceremony they’d ever attended. The ceremony was light, funny but also the perfect amount of romantic.
Any and all anxiety we had faded knowing Nate had our backs and took great care of us.
Yay Nate!!!!

Nathan was amazing from our first meeting to the day of. He was so kind, organized and was great to work with. We did a rehearsal with him and he was sooooo helpful, he directed everyone where to go and walked us through the whole thing. The day of he was awesome, he kept our ceremony meaningful but lighthearted which made us feel more relaxed. His jokes in the ceremony were perfect to help break all the tension and let you breathe! After the ceremony our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing Nathan was and we couldn’t agree more!

There’s nothing worse than a long, boring, stale ceremony that doesn’t fit your vibe as a couple and has your friends and family just waiting for it to end. I am a professional Wedding Officiant with many years in the wedding industry as an emcee and officiant. I will use his “quick witted humour”, “old lady squish his chubby cheeks charm” and what my mom calls my “sparkling personality” to help make your wedding ceremony EXACTLY what you want it to be.

I was born in Kitchener, Ontario Canada and raised in Guelph along side my 5 brothers and sisters. My upbringing was full of music and sports and laughter and arguing over the last pancake at breakfast. I usually won that argument. I’m the life of the party, love to make people laugh but can also be polite, professional and your Aunt Gertrude will LOVE me.

I’ve done it all and have the scars to prove it. Red Lobster biscuit boy, worked at a young Offenders Facility, was Business Manager for 2 successful junior hockey clubs, Vice President of a Jr. A lacrosse club, was formerly known as Korky The Klown for a few events (don’t ask, I will deny it), I have been in 2 movies, chased by zombies in commercials, umpire baseball in the summer and have been a manager of a heating company for the past 24 years, I’ve emceed dozens of weddings, dabbled in stand up comedy and I bring all of those talents & abilities to your disposal.

I love people! I love to make people laugh, I love to people watch, I love to help when others are in need. I also love tacos. I’m a Toronto Sports fan and yes that includes the Toronto Maple Leafs, please don’t hate me for my painful choices.
