What couples say about Ottawa Wedding Ceremonies
"First, we would like to thank you, Roy, for helping to make our wedding day so wonderful. We could not be more pleased with how the ceremony went. We received many compliments from our guests on the ceremony and it was exactly what we wanted. From our very first meeting with you, we knew that you were the perfect Officiant for us. We appreciate that you took the time with us to make sure that every detail of our ceremony reflected us as a couple. We also appreciate all of your guidance with respect to the ceremony from planning, helping us find the perfect readings, answering all of our questions and even calming some nerves on the big day. Your fantastic personality and your kindness made it a pleasure to both work with you in planning our ceremony and to have you perform our ceremony at the wedding. You exceeded our expectations in every way and we could not be happier or more thrilled with the ceremony that you helped us to create and that you delivered so beautifully. "

John was an absolute pleasure to work with, kind, enthusiastic, always helpful.....and most importantly did not run when we told him we'd be having the ceremony outdoors in the middle of a Canadian winter!!! He and his wife Donna truly helped to make the ceremony a beautiful, unique (how many people use Tiki torches as unity candles - one of John's great ideas!) and memorable occasion!!!
Our wedding at Code's Mill in Perth was very special. Thanks to Rev Dr John Hyland for this wonderful wedding ceremony. Families friends, near and far joined with us to celebrate our Special Day.
From the tips of our boots, to the tops of our hats, we thank you for your awesome service.
Thank you so much for presiding over our wedding - you made it very special - we couldn't have picked a better person. Thank you. And thank you for the picture - that was awesome. Hope to see you around town one of these days.
We just wanted to pass on our gratitude and high praises for Barbara Cote who officiated our wedding. She was wonderful, patient and performed the ceremony exactly as we imagined.
Thanks for doing such a wonderful job with our wedding ceremony. You were an absolute pleasure to work with; a truly delightful person! We really enjoyed our ceremony and had an altogether beautiful day. Take care and we wish you all the best!
We can't thank you enough for making our day as incredibly special: I couldn’t imagine anyone else marrying us.
all our love,
