I'm now actively booking weddings for Summer and Fall of 2023. If you have your venue and photographer booked, it's wise to lock in your officiant early to ensure you have THE BEST for your wedding day.

A wonderful ceremony on the escarpment at Glen Drummond Farm on Saturday, with hawks circling in the background over the beautiful Dundas Valley. Extremely grateful to receive a note from the bride and groom the next day:

Paul and I just wanted to send a huge thank you for helping make yesterday so special. Our ceremony was very US, and we even had comments about how much fun it was (even sitting in the heat). We really appreciate the effort you put into getting to know us and tell our story. Thank you and all the best!
Sincerely, Paul and Jenny

Already booking ceremonies for 2023! It's great that couples are planning ahead to avoid any post-pandemic surge that may result from the ceremony uncertainty of the past couple of years. Many couples are happily adding chapters to their love stories about the power of love and resiliency.

It is truly a privilege to be invited to officiate a couple’s wedding ceremony. It is a remarkable day, and I am honoured to have helped so many couples write the next chapter of their love story in 2021. I performed memorable and COVID-safe ceremonies for couples in Ancaster, Brantford, Burlington, Dundas, Grand Bend, Melbourne, Mississauga, Stittsville, Stratford, and Waterdown. Brighter days are ahead in Ontario, and I look forward to playing an integral part in many more unique and intimate ceremonies in the year ahead. www.darrylhartwickofficiant.com

Great advice from the site https://www.brides.com/wedding-officiant-cost-5074508
"Finding an officiant for your wedding often falls to the bottom of your ‘to-do” list behind the more exciting decisions like the venue, flowers, guest list, wedding party, menu, photographer, and the music. But if you think about it, the wedding officiant is indispensable. It's essential to find someone that you like to set the tone for your celebration—and the sooner you can cross it off your list, the better." Booking now for 2022. https://darrylhartwickofficiant.com/

One of my favourite intimate wedding ceremonies of the summer! There were just 8 of us on the beach in Grand Bend. Jillianne and Myles incorporated so many special touches into their ceremony including vows to the two girls, and an exchange of meaningful gifts. Jillianne says, "It was a dream of a day, a beautiful wonderful dream. We are so happy you could share that moment with us."

Your wedding, your way. Congratulations Emily and Lucas! Thank you for your kind words: "We are so glad that we enlisted Darryl to be our wedding officiant. Darryl was collaborative in the ceremony planning process and was very thoughtful to suggest personal touches from his past wedding experiences. Darryl was responsive, present and mindful of ensuring we were happy with the script and was amenable to changes. Darryl made our wedding day special with his tactful words and personal delivery." https://darrylhartwickofficiant.com/

Congratulations Keighley and Jon! Honoured to officiate your beautiful ceremony in a stand of pines at Arrowwood Farm in Melborne, Ontario. "Thank you so much for our wedding day. We really appreciate all you did. It was beautiful."

Always pleased to hear kind and supportive words from a couple after their wedding ceremony. Here's what Steve and Vanessa Hall sent to me after their recent ceremony in Ancaster:

"Darryl really was the perfect officiant for our wedding! He is well spoken, has a calming, professional voice but also knows when to throw in a joke or two to lighten the mood. From day one, he kept in regular contact with us and was very easy to work with, even through all of our wedding changes due to the pandemic. We are very happy we chose Darryl as our officiant, and we could not have asked for a more wonderful wedding!"
