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.

You were an absolute pleasure to get to know.

Anne and Andre
Thank you for acting as the officiant for our wedding. We are not used to being the centre of attention and were rather nervous. Your kind and efficient manner calmed us down, and made us more comfortable about being in front of everyone. You made us able to enjoy our own wedding, which we hear is not as common as one would hope.
Sheila and Bryan
I'd like to thank you again Debbie for a number of things...for keeping calm when I'm sure you could hear me starting to panic, for making me laugh when I felt that I was never going to laugh again, for being so efficient and professional, for your understanding of my rather odd family circumstances, and for solving my Officiant problem. You're great at what you do, and I want you to know that you really, really made my day today.
Katherine
The wedding ceremony you conducted was impeccable. It was relaxed and professional; just what we wanted! Thank you

Hello Sue,
It's such a warm feeling to reflect on our day. I imagine it will be like this for some time.
A very close friend of mine complimented on the wonderful job you did for us. She and her partner got married in the last few years. Much of her compliments were of our wording, how expressive you were and how genuine the whole ceremony was.
Lorie and I wrote our vows to each other. We knew what we were going to say but we did not practice saying them to each other. It was truly something to hear and say our vows. I remember during our meeting with you, you mentioned for us to look at each other and not you. Our emotions took over quite unexpectedly. Those tears of happiness and such deep emotion were extremely powerful. ...Thank you so very much for guiding us.
We truly are grateful. It was the best day of our life.
Thank You for Sharing Our Day.

It was meant to be! We are off on honeymoon now. Thank you for the calm, serenity and sense of sacredness that you brought to the whole event. We will never forget it and we will always remember all of your words of wisdom and encouragement.

I just wanted to let you know how very much I.H. and I absolutely appreciated your wonderful cereomony. . we got so many compliments from so many of our guests! People who had never been to an interfaith ceremony really appreciated all your various explanations of all the symbols and elements. We just wanted to let you know how really very much you made that evening just incredible for all of us. The whole evening - in largest part due to you - was one of the most incredible and memorable of our lives. We just don’t know how to thank you.

Thank you again for everything that you have done for us. The day was absolutely amazing and the ceremony was unforgettable. We truly appreciate all of your efforts. The wedding day was spectacular. Many of my family and friends found the ceremony to be not only beautiful but also interesting. We would love to keep in touch and we appreciate all that you have done for the two of over this past year.

Floralove was a lifesaver and a real ray of sunshine. It was very important to my inlaws that the officiant be a rabbi, cantor, or someone with other significant ties to the Jewish community, but there are not a lot of people matching that description in Ottawa who are willing to officiate at an interfaith ceremony, and after our original arrangements fell through we found Floralove by the recommendation of a family friend. She did an amazing job of some traditional Jewish blessings and helped us through the whole process to create a ceremony that incorporated meaningful traditions from both faiths.

We would like to thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for such a great wedding ceremony. You were amazing, and you have helped us in making our ceremony truely special and meaningful to us. Thank you! You made both of us feel comfortable during this typically stressful event, and thank you for the tissues and your warm attitude when you saw my tears. You projected kindness, sincerity, and love to us and all our guests. Everyone felt it, and everyone who we talked to said that they liked you a lot.

You have a very pleasant and a soft approach with people, while you remain professional. We were lucky to have you there, and I am so glad that I did my research for the "right for us" wedding officiant. It was worth it! Again, thank you so much for everything, and we appreciate your thoughtfulness and your efforts in making our wedding day special.

We both walked out of the building with such a good (and somewhat giddy feeling) knowing such a warm and genuine person will be marrying the two of us. This truly is a gift to have you, thank you! We look forward to working with you!
Thank you,

Thank you again,
love Kristen and James!

Hi Rob,
We wanted to write a note of thank you and gratitude for the wonderful wedding ceremony you performed for us on October 22nd! We can not express how much we appreciate everything you did for us. You went out of your way inviting us into your home and helping us come up with the perfect wedding ceremony. It was sometimes difficult planning a wedding from so many miles away however you made things easy for us. Our wedding at Stanley's Olde Maple Lane Farm was fantastic and we enjoyed every moment!! Thank you for putting up with the very chilly weather outside for our ceremony, we were very pleased that the rain and snow flakes held off.
Thank you for being extremely flexible, professional, punctual and for making us feel so relaxed. You made us feel so comfortable and we enjoyed all your suggestions and ideas that helped make our day perfect. The readings you read and the blessing you gave us was wonderful, we will cherish our special day for the rest of our days. You put our thoughts and feelings first and we can not say thank you enough.
Thank you again for everything, you made our day very special and memorable.

Luc's goal is to make your Special Day just that... Special! Luc is a true 'people person', flexible and open-minded, with a love for life and all that is true. Whether what you have planned is a classical wedding, or a relaxed and laid back one; whether you wish to have your ceremony in French, English or Spanish, it will be a true pleasure for Luc to perform your wedding.
Please note. Luc has had to reduce his availability for weddings. He now spends much of his free time with charitable work in third world countries. Feel free to request Luc but we suggest you have a couple of other names at the ready in case Luc is out of the country.
Le but de Luc est de faire de cette journée... une journée bien spéciale et mémorable pour vous. Il est une personne sensible qui aime les gens, il est flexible et ouvert d’esprit. Il aime avant tout la vie et tout ce qui s'y rattache. Que vous désiriez un mariage traditionnel ou d’allure plus décontracté, que vous désiriez votre cérémonie en français, en anglais ou en espagnol, ce sera un privilege et il se fera un plaisir de participer à ce projet.
Etant donné son implication dans des projets humanitaires dans les pays en voie de développement, Luc a réduit de peu ses heures de disponibilites à célébrer des mariages. Nous nous ferons un plaisir de confirmer sa présence à votre célébration mais veuillez nous suggérer une ou deux personnes de plus dans l'éventualité que Luc serait hors du pays au moment de votre mariage.

Hello Pamela!
The wedding day was absolutely perfect and we both wanted to say a huge thank you for being part of our day. We both felt very comfortable with you after our first meeting and felt a sense of relief and excitement to know you would be officiating our ceremony. After the wedding day was over, we were talking about the entire day and we both felt you were exactly what we wanted as an officiant in terms of how you presented yourself and how you spoke to us and the crowd. You were calm, spoke beautifully and gave us both a sense of calmness as well. As I walked down the aisle, I also noticed you had such a sincere, genuine happy smile on your face and it was obvious you were excited for us. I wish I could have thanked you in person after but I got bombarded with people congratulating us, etc.
We both want to wish you all the best and we will definitely recommend you to others in the future.
Thank you so much,
Julie & Scott

The Officiant, Kathleen Caught, performed our ceremony exactly how we had wanted. Scott and I wrote the ceremony ourselves, and everyone commented on how well it suited us, and how beautiful it was (although I think you have to say that at a wedding). We inserted a few jokes, which was totally our style, and the last minute suggestion by Kathleen that we throw in a few readings was perfect. We choked up both our readers.
Scott
Mike and I would like to thank you for helping to make our wedding ceremony so special. The wedding ceremony you performed was exactly what we hoped for.

Our compliments to you once again and to All Seasons Weddings in Ottawa for guiding us through the marriage process in such a calm and reassuring manner from the beginning to the signing of our vows. Peace be with you.

When a bride and groom stand together at the alter a rush of emotions comes over you and you really do not know how you are going to react! Kathleen prepared us for that and her calming presence during our special moment created a sense of serenity that allowed us to absorb every minute of our wedding ceremony that went by far too quickly. Kathleen is a very personable, warm and fun person. She brought lightness, comfort and energy to our day. Kathleen was able to display to our guests the love and honesty that we were promising not just on that day, but for an eternity. We will never be able to thank her enough! Truly an honor to have her as such an integral part of our wedding!
