Good evening Mike,
We hope all is great for you.
On our side, we can’t ask for better.
Since our ceremony, we keep getting very positive comments from everyone – they were all amazed to see a wedding ceremony very original and unique and you helped make it that way. They were also amazed to see how easily you made it in both official languages (English and French), as well as a touch of Gaelic (they thought your Gaelic touch was sweet), it was very much appreciated on all sides. If it wasn’t for all the advice and help you gave us while we were planning everything, our ceremony wouldn’t have been so beautiful. It touched everyone’s heart. You truly made our ceremony a real fairytale event and we thank you so much for everything, we really appreciate it.

We've first met Jean at our daughter's baptism and were impressed by his ability to make individuals feel at ease during a relatively stressful period. When my husband and I decided to make our union official, there was no hesitation as to where we would get our officiant. Jean performed both of our ceremonies in a professional and courteous manner to which we were forever grateful. We would recommend his services to anyone who is having their child baptized or is getting married.
