Olga Salgado exceeded our expectations by far. Despite just meeting us for the first time a few weeks before the wedding, she was able to relate many incidents deom our encounter, and her impressions of the way we related to each other, to personalize the ceremony in a manner that was very touching. She is a wonderful officiant. Everything was handled very efficiently and everyone was very helpful. Thanks to everyone for making this special day happen, and especially to Olga for being such an inspirational, warm individual. We chose her because of her ability to officiate in Spanish, as we wanted a bilingual ceremony, and were pleasantly surprised to see that she was such a wonderful person. We could not have hoped for a better officiant.

Tina (Larocque) was a fantastic officiant for our wedding!! We did a somewhat non traditional wedding, and she nailed it, to the point where people after were coming up to us and complimenting her. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat! David and Derek

It is our esteemed pleasure to write a referral in support of the one and only Todd Kaufman who officiated our wedding in the summer of 2014. Choosing Todd was a true blessing – It is a decision we will never come to regret. He truly went above and beyond in helping us understand the nuances of getting married – he covered all details from getting paperwork to writing vows, but never for a moment pressured us to adopt any pre-existing formalities. He counseled us many times leading up to the event and when all of the compounding stress was hitting us, working with Todd never for a moment felt like work. Todd was incredible at making us feel very comfortable, excited and prepared for our big day. Of course, the lead up was only part of the story. During the ceremony, he spoke eloquently, dressed professionally and with huge amounts of sincerity, delivered a truly moving ceremony that is making me emotional as I write this. Reflecting on our day, I would say that Todd set the tone early. His sincerity, unique and personalized take on officiating a wedding, attention to detail and ability to connect with a room of any variety were the reasons why we can look back at our day and say it was perfect. To top it off, Todd drove hours from a relaxing lake view, battling Toronto summer weekend traffic just to be there with us. I don’t know many people who would be so selfless for complete strangers. Of course Todd is still a dear friend of ours. He still offers counsel when we need it with frequent check-ins to see how we are doing. I challenge anyone to meet Todd and not want to continue a lasting friendship with him. Todd is a genuine and amazing human. Suffice to say, I would recommend Todd. For just about anything. Thanks Todd! John and Zach July 26th, 2014

Hi Natasha, Tyler and I wanted to take the time to properly thank you for all the hard work you did before, during and I'm sure after our wedding day. You played such a pivotal role in making this day special, you went above and beyond what we felt an officiant should do, all so that we would feel comfortable and happy. We want to thank you for always being there either by phone, email or in person to chat and to answer our questions and not once did you ever make us feel rushed and we certainly appreciated your positive and charismatic attitude and personality. I remember the first meeting we had with you and you reflected that the wedding day was our day. Well we could see that you live by that motto; your flexibility, acceptance, support, care and attention to detail allowed our wedding ceremony to not only be memorable but be personal and unique to us and our family. We want to thank you for your guidance throughout the entire process. We will continue to recommend you to all our friends and family. Take care and all the best, Antoine and Tyler 07/30/2015

Alan Viau was the consummate officiant. He was friendly and welcoming, swiftly forming a rapport with my (now!) husband and I. He wore his experience and wisdom lightly, and brought many ideas to the discussion which we had not considered. His willingness to include a favorite film reference (the 'Mawwiage' scene from 'The Princess Bride') told us we'd found the right person. On the day he arrived in good time, made everybody feel at ease, and was the ideal anchor by being the focal point of the day but making sure we were the center of attention. Even signing the paperwork was a breeze. Honestly, I was sorry to see him leave, though it was entirely meet that he did, without fuss and with all our gratitude and good wishes. Thank you, Alan Viau, Ottawa's "Dr Wedding" :-) Simon and Jonathan May 2020

Robb is a master of what he does. He took the time to get to know us, customized his words to reflect our love, and delivered a ceremony that had everyone in tears. Robb set the tone for the night. After a moving ceremony, the energy at the wedding was transformed to one of pure love and support, and this continued throughout the evening. We are so thankful we chose Robb to be part of our special day. On a personal note, Robb is sweet, caring and very funny man. He was very easy to reach and correspond with. He is a veteran in the business and my partner and I felt like we were in very capable hands. Thanks Robb! David and Geanderson
