We really felt as though we got to know him beforehand, which made the ceremony all the more personal – as if we were being married by a friend! Jean brought out the best in everyone during the ceremony – from tears of laughter to tears of joy, Jean was the perfect Officiant. And when we returned from our honeymoon, we kept hearing from our guests about what a terrific job they thought he did!
Fiona and Alec
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.
