Wedding Officiant · Ontario
Helping couples create thoughtful, joyful, unforgettable ceremonies throughout Ontario.
Meet Andrew
I have officiated ceremonies for more than a decade — in gardens, chapels, banquet halls, backyards, and luxury venues across Ontario. In that time I have learned that couples do not remember a perfect script. They remember whether the person at the front knew them.
So I ask real questions. I write your ceremony from scratch. I keep the room warm, the timing tight, and the moment yours. Professional enough that your planner relaxes, personal enough that your grandmother cries.
And as a pastor who has walked with couples long after the reception ends, I care about the marriage as much as the wedding.
How I serve couples
Service one
A licensed Ontario officiant writing your ceremony from scratch — faith-based, lightly spiritual, or entirely non-religious. I handle the paperwork, the timing, and the room, so the two of you only have to be present.
Service two
I’m a certified SYMBIS facilitator (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts). Together we work through the conversations most couples don’t have until they’re already arguing — money, conflict, in-laws, intimacy, faith, and the expectations nobody said out loud.
Most couples I marry do both, and it changes the ceremony. By the time we get to the aisle, I’m not reading about your relationship — I already know it.

The ceremony experience
A relaxed conversation about your date, your venue, and what you want the day to feel like.
We shape the structure — readings, vows, family moments, cultural elements, and timing.
I write your ceremony and send it to you. You read every word before anyone else hears it.
I arrive early, calm the room, hold the timing, and lead a ceremony that sounds like you.
I complete the officiant portion and submit your paperwork to the province, on time.
Testimonials
“Andrew made our ceremony feel like a conversation between us and everyone who loved us. Guests are still talking about it.”
“Calm, prepared, and genuinely funny. He carried the whole room and we never once worried about what came next.”
“He honoured our faith and our families without making anyone feel like an outsider. Exactly what we hoped for.”
Frequently asked questions
Toronto, Oshawa, Durham Region, and across the Greater Toronto Area. Destinations further out in Ontario are often possible — just ask.
No. I officiate faith-based, lightly spiritual, and entirely non-religious ceremonies. Your beliefs set the tone.
Absolutely. I provide prompts, structure, and honest feedback so your vows sound like you rather than a script.
In most cases, yes. We confirm this early based on your venue and timeline.
You obtain the marriage licence from your municipality. I complete the officiant portion, register the marriage, and submit it to the province.
Pricing depends on ceremony type, travel, and planning involvement. Send your date and I'll reply with a clear, itemized quote.
SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) is an assessment-based process I'm certified to facilitate. You each complete an assessment, then we work through your report together — communication, money, conflict, family, intimacy, and expectations. Available whether or not I'm officiating your wedding.
Fully. Every ceremony is written from scratch around your story, your family, and your culture.
