Chris was an excellent officiant! My husband and I liked him right away from the introductory call we had. Chris asked questions about us and how we met and made us feel very comfortable during the very first interaction. Chris created an incredibly personalized ceremony for us that left no dry eye in the room. I absolutely loved Chris’s approach to the preparation for the ceremony, that was very detailed and tailored to our preferences. He even printed out the vows for us so that we didn’t have to worry about it on our very special but stressful day. Overall Chris radiates very warm and friendly energy and both my husband and I would recommend him wholeheartedly. All of our friends and family loved him as well.

Genuine and Heartfelt
We wanted to work with Christopher after he officiated my sister’s wedding, and blew everyone away with such a beautiful ceremony. What stood out, is he spoke of marriage as a union of two people, choosing each other to love forever. Simply that. There was no specifying man/woman/husband/wife or any words that implied one person possessing the other. It was a truly egalitarian approach to the union of two people and their families. He took care to make the ceremony personal to us and was patient and open-minded to the edits we had along the way. On top of that, Christopher is a lovely human who was genuinely interested in our story and making sure our ceremony was special. For anyone looking for a unique ceremony, we highly recommend Christopher Blake.

You want this man at your wedding!
Chris has been a dear friend of mine for many many years. At the beginning of the planning, he took the time to get to know my husband and then crafted a fabulous funny yet deeply meaningful service for us. He’s a wonderful orator and a wonderful man. We felt we were in very competent and kind hands.

A Truly Wonderful Officiant!
Christopher Blake was our officiant for our February 2023 wedding. Christopher was wonderful to work with and very professional. Throughout the planning process it was clear that his focus was getting to know us as individuals and a couple. As a result our wedding ceremony was very personal and unique. He was able to tell our story with humour and charisma. We have heard from so many guests how much they enjoyed our ceremony. We could not have asked for a better officiant and would recommend him to anyone! He is truly a great orator!

The greatest Officiant ever!
Thank you does not seem like enough after last weekend. You truly brought our ceremony to life. It exceeded our expectations and in the truest sense was absolutely perfect. Our wedding day was a dream come true and our ceremony was a big part of that and you were a big part of that. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will cherish the memory forever. We also can’t tell you how many compliments we had about you and the ceremony. You were meant to do this.

Chris made our ceremony what dreams are made of!
Chris went above and beyond for our ceremony and it was one that will always be remembered by our friends and family (they all said so!). He didn’t leave out a single personal detail, respected the cultural elements we wanted to include and made every single guest laugh and cry more than once. Chris made it so easy for us to tell him all of our stories and then reframed them in a way for our friends and family to see a different side to our relationship and our union. He brought in our family members past and present and allowed those missing to feel like they were standing beside us. If you want a beautiful and meaningful ceremony, look no further.

Such a great soul
Chris was amazing. He made sure he got every detail of our love story above all. He came back with a script and we knew right away that he understood exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. We wanted something meaningful but no more than 20 mins. He delivered and had our guests engaged throughout the celebration of us. Thank you so much Chris!

Thank you again for everything! We miss this day so much.
Chris helped put together a beautiful ceremony for my husband and I that really reflected our relationship. The number of compliments from our friends and family of how relaxed and personal he made the ceremony was so special. He was very patient and accommodating to any last-minute changes and made everything stress free. We would highly recommend Chris to any couple choosing an officiant.

Calm, secure manner and top notch presence

Chris was the ideal officiant for our wedding. He is professional, attentive to detail, and highly personable. Chris made the process easy from the beginning, all the way through to the actual ceremony, and gave us the opportunity to do something special in a way we wouldn’t have been creative enough to imagine on our own. He brings a thoughtful approach to creating a personalized and meaningful wedding ceremony, which he accomplished by asking insightful questions to really understand us as a couple. He captured the essence of our love story, and we were impressed with how he added some unique flair into our ceremony by cleverly and subtly incorporating lyrics from our favourite band. Many of our wedding guests commented on how much they loved our ceremony and the wonderful job our officiant did. It is clear that Chris truly finds meaning in uniting and sealing the bond between two people in love. With confidence, we fully recommend Chris as an officiant!

Our ceremony was the most genuine they had ever seen.
If you’re looking for an officiant for your wedding day, look no further! Chris was the first person we spoke to about marrying us and after an online video call we knew we were done our search. Although we wanted a short and sweet ceremony, those 20 minutes were filled with laughter, love and a lot of (happy) tears. What made it so special was throughout the process, Chris really got to know my husband and I and learned everything about us from how we met, first time we said I love you to the engagement. By doing this his speech was so personalized and really encapsulated us as individuals as well as a couple. Guests have told me it was one of the most lovely, genuine ceremony’s they’d ever been to and that our officiant was engaging and great to listen to! Chris made the process easy and enjoyable. Communication was timely, our feedback was listened to and he provided so much support. If you’re looking for someone to trust to make your wedding the most memorable day of your life, we would highly recommend Chris!

Stratford’s Hidden Gem
Christopher is not your typical officiant. He took the time to get to know us in order to make our wedding day memorable. The ceremony could not have been what it was without the personal touches that he incorporated. His ability to piece our story together is a gift that we will cherish forever, it was almost as if he already knew us. We heard many times throughout the evening what a wonderful job he did and that there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Christopher even made an effort to pronounce everyone’s names correctly, his voice is clear and poetic. We highly recommend him if you are looking for someone to tell your love story.

Exceptional Officiant
From the moment we met Chris on our Zoom call, we knew we had made the right decision in choosing him to be our officiant. His service was articulate, meaningful, and inspirational. I think Chris would do an excellent service for any couple from any walk of life. Our family and friends consistently enjoyed his ceremony and spoke about how it was like he knew the two of us for years by adding personal stories about Mark and I. We cannot say enough about this man and how he made our wedding one of the most special moments in our lives.
Thank you, Chris !

He made the process easy and enjoyable. Chris spent time getting to know us and created a ceremony script that made everyone laugh, cry and smile. Our guests were RAVING all day about how wonderful he was and how much emotion he was able to add to our special day. If you are looking for a professional, but personable officiant, look no further! Chris orchestrated a moment we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much!

Extremely professional, supported experience
Chris was an absolute professional throughout the entire process and a treat to work with. His care for his work and the people he is working with is evident in the time he invests in making himself available for questions and educating couples on the process. We wanted to do something a bit unique and have a friend conduct the ceremony on the day-of, and it was incredible how involved and excited Chris was for us, having calls with our “friend officiant” and taking a lead in designing the ceremony proceedings. It was a pleasure to have Chris conduct our legal ceremony ahead of our wedding ceremony, and we appreciated his warmth, support, and fatherly aura as he sent us on our way into married life.

Chris was an incredible officiant for our special day. We had requested a very small ceremony with minimal frills, and we felt like he truly heard us.
