Happy Couple
“Jonathan's calm demeanour, natural wit, and genuine love for what he does make choosing him as your officiant a no-brainer. His sense of humour effortlessly breaks the ice, puts everyone at ease, and makes guests feel like they're truly a part of the ceremony rather than simply watching it unfold. As both a wedding planner and a former couple of his, I can wholeheartedly say that working alongside him is just as much of a pleasure as having him lead your own ceremony. He has a way of making everything feel easy, natural, and seamless, which is truly special.”

“We got married July 5th 2024, we had Jonathan as our officiant and he was amazing! He had recorded a previous conversation from 6-9 months prior, put it all in his speech, he was wearing a tux (wedding was black tie). All of our guests thought he was a friend for how well he did.”

“Jonathan was wonderful to work with. Our wedding was postponed from 2020 to 2023 due to covid restrictions, but good things come to those who wait. Once our wedding was rescheduled, Jonathan walked us through everything and gave us the resources to write our vows. We had an intro call to talk about how to tailor the ceremony to our unique personalities, and we had a walk through rehearsal at the venue. Jonathan was excellent, his delivery so genuine and kind, everyone at the ceremony loved him. From months before the ceremony to the ceremony itself, we never felt alone, Jonathan was always available for any questions we had throughout the process and he always had a calming presence when talking to us. I think that's the best part of having Jonathan as an officiant, his calming effect when planning a wedding is usually so stressful. Thank you Jonathan for everything and being the best officiant we could have asked for.”

“Our officiant Jonathan was FANTASTIC — we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jonathan was very personable, attentive during the zoom call, offered recommendations, and took the time to learn all about us so that he could customize our ceremony just the way we had envisioned it. He was so warm, caring, funny & comfortable that our family asked afterwards how we knew him — they thought he was our friend!! He even took the time after to chat a bit with our family and stick around. I could go on and on about how great Jonathan was as our officiant and would recommend him to anyone.”

“Jonathan made our ceremony feel so special and magical. He's an excellent speaker, and it felt like he really captured our essence as a couple in the ceremony he crafted for us. My dad even told me (and I think told him too) that if he were to get married again he would want Jonathan to officiate. We had so many people tell us after the ceremony how wonderful and perfect it was ('best wedding ceremony I've seen in a long time' was a very common comment), in no small part due to Jonathan. Thanks so much for everything! It was so wonderful to have you marry us Jonathan!!”

“My husband and I met with Jonathan Evans and knew that we wanted him to officiate our wedding. We wanted our ceremony to be personal, heartfelt, with a mix of humour. He absolutely delivered!! The day felt super rushed but the ceremony was a time for us to be present, slow down, and really soak it all in. It was the highlight of the wedding for us and Jonathan was an essential part of that! Thank you very much!!”

“There is a reason for the 5 star rating! My husband and I did an elopement in Vancouver and Jonathan Evans was AMAZING! He took the time to have a virtual meeting to go over the ceremony prior to the day and was super helpful with the whole planning process. He fit in perfectly with our vision. His presence, humour, the way he articulated the ceremony, his ease with juggling a bouquet and our ring boxes were so gracefully done. I am SO glad we picked Jonathan as our officiant. He made our ceremony absolutely perfect.”

“Jonathan was amazing! He really made the ceremony feel special and unique to us (so much so I had quite a few people ask how we knew Jonathan and if he was a friend).

We had our wedding ceremony on July 22nd, 2023, with Jonathan who was incredible! Jonathan was extremely professional and very approachable, always replying to our e-mails and messages. Throughout the ceremony Jonathan was very professional, threw a few jokes here and there that made us feel less nervous, and also made the guests feel welcome. We highly recommend Jonathan!”

“Jonathan was an amazing officiant for us! It started with a great rehearsal dinner, where we really got to connect on a personal level ahead of time. Building that rapport was a great asset coming into the wedding ceremony itself, where he was able to put us at ease, and radiated positive energy the entire time. He also took the time to craft a wedding script that reflected our values and the vibe we wanted. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in the future.”
Jianna & Nathan

“We wanted a light, fun, and romantic ceremony and Jonathan delivered! Jonathan really took the time to get to know our story and cater the ceremony to us, and it showed. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was and how much they enjoyed it. One guest even came up to us and said that they thought that Jonathan was a close friend of ours. We also enjoyed working with Jonathan leading up to the wedding, through our long engagement. He made everything very simple and easy. Thanks for everything!”

He spoke with us before the big day, to get to know us, and then put together a ceremony that was just what we were looking for-the right balance of fun, respect for the occasion and not too long ;) Jonathan's positive and welcoming personality really set the stage for a great day we will never forget.”
