An incredible Officiant and person
Chris’ officiating brought warmth, humour, and a personal connection to our ceremony. Chris did an incredible job delivering the story of our love to our guests. We felt as though we had known Chris for years – his grounding presence made us feel so at ease and he connected with everyone he conversed with during the rehearsal and wedding day. Pre-ceremony, his suggestions pertaining to the flow and mood of the ceremony were beyond helpful. As well, Chris’ administration was top-notch. He was always quick to respond to emails and easy-going with last minute changes. We received numerous compliments from many of our guests, after the ceremony, asking where we found Chris because he did a superb job. Thank you Chris!

Christopher was absolutely amazing. His style fit us perfectly and made the entire ceremony feel personal and effortless. Several of our engaged friends even commented on how much they loved his voice and said they’d be looking into booking him for their own weddings. He was incredibly supportive throughout the whole process, with a calming, reassuring presence that made everything feel easy and smooth. We couldn’t have asked for better.

Thank you, Christopher !!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Christopher for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier that we found him! From our first meeting, you can tell that Christopher is a caring, insightful and well-spoken person which really showed during our wedding ceremony! Christopher was great to work with; he was open to all our ideas and took the time to really tailor the ceremony to what we envisioned. On our big day, he was a very calming presence, from coming early and talking us through how the ceremony would work so there wouldn’t be any confusion, to printing out our vows in a way that was easy to hold and read. If you’re looking for someone who will truly honour your love story and make your ceremony go without a hitch, we wholeheartedly recommend Christopher Blake!

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding day! From the very beginning, Chris was professional, kind, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony special. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a ceremony that perfectly reflected our story, values, and personalities. On the day of the wedding, he brought such calm energy and sincerity — everything flowed beautifully. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how heartfelt and personal the ceremony felt. It was truly one of the most meaningful parts of our day, and we’re so grateful for his role in making it unforgettable.
We highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for an officiant who is warm, organized, and passionate about creating a memorable experience. Thank you again for making our day so special!

We had an amazing experience with Christopher Blake. He was warm, genuine, and incredibly professional throughout. The ceremony he delivered was intimate and heartfelt, and the way he incorporated “three things you love and one area to improve” was absolutely perfect. Our families loved it and told us it was their favourite part of the day. We’re so grateful for the care and presence Christopher brought to our wedding.

Amazing Officiant!
We are so grateful to have had Chris as our officiant. From the very beginning, he was supportive, calm, and incredibly knowledgeable—guiding us through the process with an abundance of helpful information about both the legal and ceremonial sides of marriage. He also led our rehearsal the day before, where his calm but authoritative presence immediately put us and our wedding party at ease. For the ceremony itself, we gave Chris a lot of details about our relationship and backstory, and he transformed them into a beautifully written and heartfelt narrative. The way he told our story was warm, engaging, and so personal—it felt like the heart of our day. We had countless compliments from guests afterwards, with many saying it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended. Several people even asked how they could become a Humanist officiant after experiencing the ceremony! Chris struck the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. He made us feel calm, comfortable, and fully present throughout, and truly tailored the ceremony to celebrate us and our love. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant, and we will always be grateful to him for helping make our wedding so memorable and meaningful.

Wedding Officiant Extraordinaire!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Chris Blake! He went above and beyond to make our wedding ceremony more special than we could have ever imagined. His words were heartfelt, personal, and perfectly captured the essence of our relationship. So much so, that multiple guests asked us if we had known him personally for years as he was that in tune with us and our story.Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was professional, warm, and incredibly responsive throughout the planning process. Every interaction felt effortless, and his attention to detail made us feel confident and at ease on such an important day.We genuinely feel lucky to have had him as our officiant and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend him. In fact, we’re already looking forward to the day we can renew our vows, and there’s no question that we’d want Chris by our side once again.Thank you, Chris, for making our day truly unforgettable!
Jeffrey and Elizabeth, Kitchener, August 2025
We had an amazing experience working with Chris! He really took time to get to know us and our love story, and as such, our ceremony was very personal. It was a perfect mix of funny and endearing, and we received so many compliments afterwards about how unique it was! Our favorite part was Chris revealing the three things we love most about each other and one suggestion for improvement (which we each sent to him separately to keep secret). We loved how Chris included us in the entire planning process, and as a result the ceremony was a perfect reflection of our love story. We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. We would definitely recommend Chris as a wedding officiant!
Nicole and Steven, Strathroy, August 2025

Erin and Anthony, Stratford, August 2025
Chris was amazing from the first meeting to the ceremony. He was very personable and made us feel at ease right away. In the months leading up to the wedding he sent us a questionnaire that he used to compile the ceremony so that it was tailored to us and our story. He made the ceremony so unique and we got so many compliments from the wedding guests that they loved how much they learned about us during the ceremony. He made the experience so enjoyable and relaxed, we would highly recommend him to anyone we know getting married and looking for an officiant. Thank you again for all of your hard work Chris!

You won’t regret working with Chris !
As soon as we met Chris, he felt like a family friend that we knew we could trust to make our day personal, while still making it feel polished and professionally done. Chris put so much attention to detail into the writing of our ceremony, making it incredible personal, fun, and filled with love. So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony. We didn’t have time for a rehearsal, but Chris made sure everyone knew what to expect and what to do, making for a seamless event. Thank you, Chris! You helped make our day perfect and unforgettable.

Madison and Adi, St Marys, May 2025
We had the pleasure of working with Chris as our wedding officiant for a small, intimate ceremony before our destination wedding — and he was an absolute delight from start to finish! He made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. We were both nervous, but Chris has a strong, calming, and familiar presence that immediately put us at ease. His professionalism and warmth truly made the moment special. One of the best decisions we made was adding on the option for him to help write our ceremony script for our destination wedding. It was a huge help and gave us one less thing to worry about. Walking into our ceremony with a script we loved — and felt connected to — brought us so much peace. We highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a meaningful, relaxed, and seamless experience.
Charley and Evan, Sebringville, April 2025
Chris Blake is amazing!
We hired Chris because he officiated my best friends wedding – and he really made an impact on me, even as just a guest. I knew when I started planning my own wedding – that Chris would be the one to marry my husband and I. No questions asked. Chris provides the perfect balance of joy, laughter and love. He manages to make you feel so special. His pitch is perfect and he never falters on his words. Timing is awesome and the way he tells your story makes you feel heard and appreciated. I would recommend Chris to anyone and everyone. We are so grateful to have him part of our amazing memories of our amazingly special day. Thank you, Chris. You managed to make an already special day – that much more special

An exceptional Officiant and a lovely person
We are so grateful that we chose Chris to play such an influential role in our wedding day. From the first time we met, he put us at ease and expertly guided us through planning a ceremony that was heartfelt, engaging, and true to us. He was always quick to respond, professional, and flexible when we made some last-minute adjustments. He expertly gathered the details of our love story and wove them into a ceremony that had us in tears at some points and genuine fits of laughter at others. Our nerves quickly dissipated and we enjoyed every minute. I lost count of how many family members and friends told us with sincerity it was the best wedding ceremony they had attended. It was a highlight of our day and we cannot thank him enough! I do not think you could find a better officiant.
Julia and Andrew, Stratford, February 2025

From the very beginning, he was professional, warm, engaging and genuinely invested in making our ceremony personal and meaningful.

On the big day, Chris delivered a perfect script with grace and confidence, setting the perfect tone for our perfect evening together as a married couple!

Best Officiant !
Chris made our civil wedding ceremony a special memory for us. He went above and beyond our expectations, wrote a customized script that reflected our stories, backgrounds, and was real and genuine and full of love. He walked us through everything, every step, and helped us prepare before the ceremony. Chris is very reliable, friendly, passionate, and very easy to work with. We are very glad that we found Chris to conduct our wedding ceremony.

Intimate, Personal and Meaningful Wedding Ceremony
Christopher is a must for any couple looking for a way to really personalize a ceremony and share your love story so perfectly. We loved the whole process of working with him. His communication, clear instructions and professionalism made the process of creating our wedding ceremony so enjoyable. On the day of our ceremony, Christopher arrived well in advance. His calm presence, kind demeanour and friendly disposition was felt immediately with our family before the ceremony began. The wedding ceremony went better than we could have even imagined, it was organized, well paced and perfectly depicted who David and I were as people and why we chose to make our commitment to one another. The attention to detail and way he orchestrated the ceremony flowed so well. There were so many little details that beautifully intertwined through his ceremony. It really felt like Christopher had known us for years. After our ceremony so many friends and family commented on how beautiful it was and that they left learning more about us a couple and more about our love story. Since being married, it still is one of the first things our friends comment on, how much they loved our ceremony. This is all thanks to Christopher who took our details and created a story that was moving, interesting and so personal to us.
Sarah and David, Cambridge, October 2024
Christopher was phenomenal. He truly made our special day that much more special with everything he prepared for us. He was entertaining & sentimental all in one during our ceremony & although there were a lot of people & moving parts Christopher was focused solely on Logan & I. The feedback from our family & friends has been nothing short of amazing, they all felt Christopher was very well spoken & almost as if he had known us for years. We can’t thank Chris enough!!

Nicole and Jake, Stratford, September 2024
We can’t say enough good things about Christopher Blake! After seven years of engagement, my partner and I eloped from out of province and weren’t sure what to do or expect with planning and organizing a private wedding ceremony in Stratford. We are incredibly grateful to Christopher for his expertise, professionalism, and down-to-earth approachability. He not only crafted a personalized ceremony for the two of us that we will remember for the rest of our lives, he also helped us figure out a venue, provided witnesses for our big day, and offered free resources to inspire the vows we wrote for each other. We never had a doubt that we were in excellent hands and that all details would be looked after by the time we arrived for our elopement ceremony. Christopher cares about his work and it absolutely shows in his attention to detail and to the couples he weds. Thank you, Christopher!
Collin and Jason, Stratford, August 2024

Our wedding guests are still talking about how beautiful our ceremony was! We would recommend Chris for anyone’s wedding day!

World Class Wedding Officiant !
Chris is Best-in-Class when it comes to wedding officiants. We reached out to Chris, after reviewing several wedding officiants websites and referrals: his credentials and ethos very much aligned with our vision. Chris is professional, outgoing, and was very well organized thought-out the process. He provided plenty of resources and direction in organizing the layout and content of the ceremony. The latter was truly a reflection of who we are. His humour, warmth and positive demeanour really helped during the rehearsal but particularly on the big day. On the day of, he was very well prepared, patient and comforting. His passion for his craft is evident : he took the time to create beautiful, personalized cards for the vows and readings which made for a seamless and perfect execution. The ceremony was stunning in every way, we received compliments all night long. A wedding ceremony is meant to be stress-free, memorable and touching; Chris made it just that, we highly recommend his services.

The Best Feedback from both Guests and Us
If you have to pick anyone, and you have the opportunity to book with Christopher, he would be our #1 choice for all couples. The questionnaire he provided to us for the ceremony gathered so many compliments from our guests. He made us laugh, cry, feel at ease and helped so many people feel involved in the ceremony. He put us at ease and never made us feel like a bother. He took the time to learn how to pronounce some Polish words and got us so excited. Christopher was such an asset and I’m so happy we picked him. I don’t think our wedding could have felt the same without him !
Natalie and Chris, St Jacobs, April 2024
Chris was a wonderful officiant to work with! He promptly responded to any questions we had, and was always nice and professional in our conversations.

Christopher Blake was the full package for our wedding; right from the start it was apparent this was not just another job for him, but that he was invested in creating a special, unique, and beautiful ceremony. From our first meeting he was excited to learn about us, and learn about who we are. Throughout our wedding planning Christopher had us complete independent tasks for him, that were fun, engaging, and ended up creating an incredible ceremony. Any questions or concerns we had, he was right there ready to help and answer our questions. When our special day arrived, and the ceremony began; everyone was blown away. Christopher’s voice and speech captivated the room and truly created a unique and beautiful experience for us. If you have come across Christopher Blake’s website and are reading this, look no further. You found your officiant.

What an Amazing Ceremony!
When we were searching for an officiant, Chris stood out immediately with his friendly personality and his enthusiasm for our love story. He was the obvious choice for us. Chris was a fantastic communicator in the lead up to our wedding. He responded to us quickly, and answered all of our questions. The ceremony script was unique and personal to our relationship and journey. He cleverly wove together humour and tear jerking moments. Chris is also an incredible orator and everyone could clearly understand what he said. Additionally, Chris nailed the pronunciation of Polish names, which can be tough for some people! We didn’t want the ceremony to end because of how much we were enjoying the moment. During the entire reception, our guests continued to remark about how impressive and memorable the ceremony was. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

Friendly, funny, professional, and sincere!
Just like the title says! Christopher was amazing from beginning to end and even helped us review our vows to each other! The ceremony was the perfect amount of funny and beautifully sincere. By providing us with his questionnaires, the ceremony was wonderfully unique! He is very flexible and worked with us to include every idea we had. At the end of the event (and days after) we received rave reviews from everyone about how much they loved the ceremony.
Kira and Jackson, New Hamburg, October 2023
We truly could not recommend Christopher more! He was a dream to work with and everything you would want for an officiant. The ceremony he made for us was incredibly beautiful, and we will remember it fondly for the rest of our lives. He personalized the wedding to truly summarize yet highlight all of the best parts of my relationship with my now husband. Our families even raved about the ceremony days after our wedding, and they were in tears by the end of it. Christopher was quick to respond to our requests, uplifting, positive, a great speaker, and above all, he was incredibly calm and professional. I would give Christopher more than 5 stars if I could! Trust me, it would be a big blessing to have him do your ceremony!
Monica and Josh, Delhi, October 2023
A truly excellent Officiant
Chris was truly wonderful to work with — he really made our vow renewal special in all of the best ways. The ceremony he composed was completely unique to us, and he wove in our story to make it every bit as exceptional as we were hoping it would be. He took the time to talk to us about who we are and what we wanted out of our vow renewal — to discuss the ritual and craft it into something meaningful and appropriate. Chris is also a very expressive orator. He has a perfect, clear tone that is resonant when it needs to be and soft when softness is called for. If we decide to do another vow renewal in a few years, we will definitely be contacting him again!
Julie and Alex, Stratford, November 2023
From the initiation of the planning phase, Chris made the process feel both exciting and straight forward. We felt relaxed and yet very hands on in making the day special to us. He had great suggestions and asked thoughtful questions, which contributed to a ceremony that everyone said was both meaningful and fun. On the day, Chris’s presence was encouraging and calming – he was organized, gave us easy to follow direction, and also able to pivot with last minute fine tuning. He was highly engaged and all our guests commented on how unique and meaningful the ceremony was – a truly lovely experience. We are forever grateful to Chris for making our day so special, sharing our love for one another with those most special to us.

Hiring Chris to officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From our first meeting with Chris we felt a strong connection and knew he would officiate the perfect wedding ceremony. It was very important to us to have a personalized ceremony and Chris’ format and questionnaire allowed us to have a lot of input into our ceremony. Chris is very well spoken and has such an amazing personality. We laughed and cried during our ceremony, which is exactly what we wanted!

We cannot thank Christopher enough and we would recommend him in a heartbeat.
Natalie and Alex, London, August 2023
A wonderful Officiant !
Christopher officiated our wedding ceremony in September 2023, and it was truly amazing. He was calm and delivered the script flawlessly, with amazing projection (you definitely won’t need to set up a microphone). The script itself was light-hearted, yet also contained a handful of items that were more traditional, which was exactly what we had hoped for. Our guests raved about how nice the ceremony was. We also felt that it was the perfect length at around 30 minutes. Christopher was a joy to work with in the months/weeks leading up to the ceremony. We connected easily over skype, then worked on the script with several emails back and forth. We found Christopher to be very approachable and accommodating with our edits. On the day of the ceremony, he checked in with us in the morning, arrived on time, and made sure to connect with everyone involved beforehand. He printed copies of our vows and readings to make it easy for everyone to read them. He also processed our paperwork quickly and communicated well with us. He was a calming presence throughout our wedding process. We highly recommend hiring Christopher as your officiant.
Stephanie and Graeme, Cambridge, September 2023

He truly brought life to it and made our guests feel as though they were a part of our journey. We are so happy we went with Chris, and cannot recommend him enough!
The Cook Lyons Family, Stratford, August 2023
Christopher was the best officiant we could have asked for! He organized the ceremony to be so personal to us which really meant a lot. A lot of our guests said to us that the ceremony was one of the best ceremonies they’ve ever been to, and they felt it was really interesting to hear all the stories of our relationship that Christopher included. It was special to have our dog at our ceremony, and Christopher helped to include him by mentioning him a lot, and giving him a signal word for him to bark at the right time near the end! Christopher was very professional, flexible with our choices, and really knew how to make the ceremony personalized to us! We definitely recommend choosing Christopher because he is the best!!
Julia and Luke, Exeter, July 2023
Excellent service from Christopher
My husband and I had the pleasure of using Christopher to officiate our wedding at a house on the shores of Lake Huron recently. From the moment we met him, we knew that he was definitely the right choice for us. He guided us through all aspects of what had to be done to prepare for our big day as well as what to expect from him on that day. He is extremely organized, very professional has a great sense of humour and personalized our service in such a way that it seemed he had known us for years. We highly recommend the use of his services, he truly made our wedding day very memorable.
Lorraine and Jim, Goderich, July 2023
Ideal, charismatic, professional, humanist officiant
We were so lucky to discover the tremendously talented, warm, intelligent, and creative officiant Christopher Blake through a mutual connection. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the process and final result of the ceremony script that Christopher developed with us. It was a pleasure to meet and work with him for this most important part of our wedding day. We enjoyed reflecting on our relationship in order to complete a personal questionnaire for Christopher to get the ball rolling, initially, and then we were very impressed with how Christopher put together a script that perfectly balanced humour, tenderness, and an appropriate seriousness for the life-long commitment. We wanted to honour some of the ideas and tone of the more traditional Christian marriage ceremonies our older relatives are familiar with, while having a completely secular, modern, and captivating ceremony, and Christopher nailed it. We received many compliments on the ceremony from our guests saying that they loved how personal it was and how they learned so many interesting details of our unique love story. Christopher is a calm, friendly, organized, and reassuring person to work with, and on the day he was very professional and spoke in just the right volume, pace, and tone. The ceremony was our favourite part of the day, thanks to Christopher!
Lesley and Stephan, Toronto, July 2023
A wonderful energy
Chris brought a wonderful energy to our wedding and its preparation. The love he has for love is palpable and he brought levity and wit to the ceremony without making light of the occasion. It was clear Chris truly cares about his work and wanted to make our day as special and personal as possible.
Ben and Gaby, Sebringville, July 2023
June Wedding
I am thrilled to provide a glowing testimonial for our exceptional wedding officiant Chris Blake. From the moment we met, we knew we had found someone special. Chris took the time to understand our love story and crafted a ceremony that was truly unique. His professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the planning process seamless. On our big day, his presence was calming, and his delivery was flawless. Our guests were captivated by his words, and the ceremony was a perfect blend of emotion and joy. We are forever grateful for the unforgettable experience Chris created. Highly recommended!
Karina and Mike, London, June 2023
Excellent Wedding Officiant
Chris was absolutely fantastic and we could not recommend him more. From the first call, Chris put both my wife and I completely at ease and this only continued on from there. Chris is friendly, charismatic, delivered an absolutely perfect ceremony, and gave great advice and directions to make sure that everything went smoothly. His ceremony instantly calmed my nerves, had the right amount of humour, and was personal to us while still having the right level of formality. Our guests were gushing about how great Chris was and we couldn’t agree more, several guests even asked how long we had known Chris because the ceremony was so personal it felt like it had been delivered by a long-time family friend.
Alex and Alex, Kitchener, June 2023
Personal, meaningful and memorable
Chris – we just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful ceremony yesterday. We truly appreciate the care you put into making it special and we thought we’d pass along some of the feedback we’ve received. We had a lot of people come up to us yesterday to tell us that they loved the ceremony – the story telling and the audience interaction at the end, and more generally your demeanor/charisma, and we couldn’t agree more. You kept it personal, meaningful and memorable and it was exactly what we were hoping for. In particular, one of the texts I received today: “I thought your wedding ceremony was probably the best I’ve ever attended. That guy was great. He was highly entertaining and obviously did his homework.” Thank you for being a part of our day. The rest of the wedding went off without a hitch and your ceremony really got the day off on the right foot.
Ben and Ashley, Ingersoll, June 2023
Best officiant ever
Chris is absolutely amazing! Choosing him as our wedding officiant was the best decision ever. Chris is very professional, patient, passionate, enthusiastic, and thoughtful. On the wedding day, he patiently guided and supported us, taking care of all the details and leaving us relaxed and content throughout.
We wanted a tree-planting ritual for our ceremony, and Chris supported our idea and helped with the details and script revisions to make it happen. We were very grateful! However, on the wedding day, the weather was too hot, and I was worried about my guests getting sunburned. I brought this up to Chris during the signing part, and he promptly adjusted the script and session so that we could end the ceremony earlier. Chris demonstrated his professionalism and supportiveness, and we couldn’t imagine how the ceremony would have been without him as our officiant.
Furthermore, Chris is an all-around incredible person, and anyone preparing for their big day will be lucky to have him around. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations, and his emails also brightened my day. Not only did Chris always address my requests and concerns, but his easygoing and thoughtful nature also added to the joy of working with him. If you’re seeking an amazing wedding ceremony officiant, don’t hesitate to choose Chris. He is simply the best!
Han and Linjie, London, June 2023
A perfect ceremony
Christopher was a pleasure to work with every step of the way. Christopher was accommodating and professional from our initial call to sending off our marriage licence. He facilitated a beautiful ceremony for us, and even now we still get compliments months after our wedding about how wonderful the ceremony was. I have even recommended Chris to a couple I know who are getting married soon, knowing they will be in good hands. Thank you, Chris!
Ryan and Vanessa, St Marys, May 2023
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.
Olex and Dominik, Cambridge, April 2023
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.
Shayda and Daniel, Toronto, February 2023
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.
Carol and Gary, Toronto, February 2023
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!
Lindsay and Patrick, Cambridge, February 2023
Excellent at what he does!!
Chris was exceptional!! He was funny and personable. All of our guests said this was the best wedding service they’d ever experienced. The timing was perfect. Hire him asap. Thank you so much!
Anna and Don, London, February 2023
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.
Isabelle and Craig, Stratford, November 2022
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.
Mackenzie and Alex, Prince Edward County, September 2022
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!
Sasha and Richard, Goderich, October 2022
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.
Sara and Ben, Princeton, September 2022
Calm, secure manner and top notch presence
Calm, humorous, flexible, empathetic, lovely voice, understanding, someone whom I would include in my ‘circle of friends’….
Herta and Ron, Kitchener, September 2022
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!
Matthew and Kelsea, St Thomas, October 2022
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!
Kurtis and Kayla, St Jacobs, October 2022
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.
Kristin and John, Rose Chapel, London, July 2022
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 !
Anna and Mark, Puslinch, July 2022
Absolutely Amazing

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!

Warren and Megan, St Thomas, October 2022
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.
