Since I don't have any way to show some of the wonderful thank you notes I have received from my happy newlyweds, I am putting this here. This one is the best yet! From Tiffany and Steve:

Dave was so incredibly helpful when it came to planning our wedding ceremony and vows. Picking an officiant can be tough but Dave left us feeling reassured that he would do a great job. He’s down to earth, easy to talk to and clearly very passionate about weddings. He is a Toastmaster, a retired firefighter and a family man and all of those unique pieces of his character really shine through in his delivery and sense of humour.

Dave has a ton of great resources to help you on your way. He can write a ceremony for you or point you in the right direction if you want to write your own. Most important, he is so flexible and understanding!! We chose to write our own ceremony and vows but we would have been lost without his guidance and reading selections. He gave us as much time as we needed and countless edits. He never once made us feel like we couldn’t do it our way.

Also, on the day of he was great! He didn’t ad-lib too much or do anything cringey! That said, he read the audience and our wedding party perfectly and put everyone at ease. He improvised just the right amount and made our ceremony truly special.
If you are looking for an officiant in the Ottawa area then look NO further. Looking back we couldn’t be any happier with our choice.

Best,
Steve & Tiffany

Thanks Tiffany and Steve! May your honeymoon bliss last forever!

Hot enough for ya? I am lovng this hot weather! And no central air! I will confess, I broke down and put the window unit in the bedroom. By order of the Boss! Pay attention, Men. Following orders just makes life easier!

I have done 15 weddings so far this year, with 15 to go. The Brides and Grooms are getting restless, and now that the vaxes are increasing, September and October are loaded up with ceremonies. I did a wedding in Spanish, and another in Hebrew this summer! Another secular jewish ceremony next Saturday. Love the diversity. Can’t wait for my first Klingon wedding!

If anyone knows of a Bride planning her ceremony for 2022, tell them to get busy now. The optimism is very high for next year, and all vendors are being snapped up. I have 17 for next year already, and a few for 2023.

Enjoy the lovely weather folks! And the mandatory mint juleps!
