Keith

I just wanted to thank you for the marvelous job you achieved at our wedding.  The most common comment we have heard from guests was that the wedding was “elegant and fun”, which is exactly what we were looking for.  In particular, everyone absolutely loved the ceremony. 

Thank you again for all your help – it was a beautiful ceremony, and we were absolutely thrilled with the way everything went.

Lindsay and Guy

As easy as it may seem to say nothing but good things about your wedding day after it has taken place, in the case of Lynne and Keith, no praise is high enough. Not only were they professional, helpful, communicative and always available but, above all, they helped us create the ceremony that we wanted.

We found Exceptional Ceremonies online from Australia and organised the preliminaries there with ease. Once we moved to Ottawa, we met Lynne and Keith and found them to be personable, warm and welcoming. At our first meeting they asked exactly what we wanted from our ceremony and then made suggestions as to how to make that happen. They helped us write our own ceremony script so that it was personal from beginning to end. And they did it all with great humour and understanding of the mayhem that a wedding can bring.

On our wedding day at Rockcliffe Park, Keith presided over the preparations and ceremony with a calm and professional yet warm and welcoming manner that our guests enjoyed – and noted – just as much as we did. He also managed to perfectly balance humour and sincerity just as we had hoped for.

The wonderful memories we have of our wedding day owe much to Lynne and Keith’s services. Most of our friends and family told us that it was the most fabulous ceremony they’d ever attended, and we think it was too.

We wanted to thank you again for performing Sue and Adrian’s wedding ceremony.  It was truly an “exceptional” and beautiful ceremony.  I must tell you that you completely won over all the young men in the family who were astounded to discover that an official marriage could take place in which there was a place for the words video games, zombie movies and closet space!  But what a wonderful juxtaposition those words enjoyed with love, devotion, honour and respect.  To say that the ceremony was poignant, funny, true to Sue and Adrian’s personalities and heartfelt is a gross understatement.  It was the talk of the evening.  I know that it was everything Suzy and Adrian had hoped for and that also applies to both sets of parents.  Thank you for making our children’s day so special.

You have a very special gift and we hope that in the near future we will be calling upon you to perform another type of ceremony…a “Naming Ceremony”! We hope you have a good summer and know that any weddings you perform during that time will also be “exceptional”.

Hello Keith,

From the first time we met both you and your wife, we were positive that we wanted you to be the one to officially marry us. You were full of original and non-traditional ideas that we absolutely loved. We weren't interested in following conventional wedding traditions. We loved your ideas to stand in a way that everyone could see us, to perform the ceremony in a way that was interesting and entertaining to everyone in the crowd, and to write our own vows using both sincerity and humor.

EVERYONE at our wedding said that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they have ever seen. Everyone we talked to said that is how a wedding should be; a true and genuine reflection of us as a couple. There wasn't a single moment in the ceremony that wasn't entertaining or captivating.

One of our favorite parts of the whole ceremony was preparing for and performing our expression of intent and our vows. We weren't interested in reciting traditional wedding vows as many other wedding officiants have you perform. Using the examples that you gave us (which were hilarious by the way), we made up some truly personalized vows that both of us loved making together. One of our guests said that one of her favorite parts of the ceremony were our expression of intent and vows. She said that she loved them because it wasn't an idealistic and unrealistic way of viewing each other.

We really appreciate all of your open-mindedness and sincerity in wanting to help us make our wedding day a true success. Everyone at our wedding loved every minute of the ceremony, especially us. From total honesty to hilarious entertainment for all, we will always remember the ceremony as a truly memorable day. Thank you so much for everything.

Hi Lynne (& Keith),

Mikael and I just wanted to send you a special thank you! 

From your insight on the set up of the room (the smaller signing table and the plug/wires) to your tips on the the very smallest details (how to stand - with toes touching), you go above and beyond to have the ceremony truly be a success.  Our ceremony was flawless thanks to such a successful rehearsal and the many tips we went away with.  

I can't tell you how many times people said (are still saying) how beautiful the ceremony was and how wonderful you were (are).  Your presence, the loving way in which you speak and the way in which you use humour to lighten and bring enjoyment to the moment made for an absolutely beautiful ceremony.

Mikael and I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting some outstanding people during the process of planning our wedding, you being one of them, and we are so lucky to have met you.  Thank you so much for being a very special part of our very special day! 

Sarah & Mikael

Hello Keith!

I wanted to send you a message to thank you again for being our officiant. Both Jacques and I were truly blown away by what an amazing job you did marrying us. Our ceremony would not have been the same without you.

Many of my guests mentioned how impressed they were with your professionalism, warmth, and ability to connect not only with Jacques and I, but with them as our "observers" - many told me it was the most personal and intimate wedding they've ever attended. This is in a huge way directly attributed to both you and Lynne, and your willingness to help us create a ceremony that really reflected the way we feel about each other.

I was also very impressed with your attention to detail - from our planning stages in writing the ceremony, to the rehearsal and in finessing the way we should stand, speak and all the other logistics, to the wedding day itself. It was nothing short of perfect, and everything we could have imagined and more.

Much love,

Lindsay and Jacques

Dear Keith & Lynne,

After four months of marriage, friends and family who witnessed our wedding are still talking about how unique, personalized and exceptional our wedding ceremony was!  I can’t tell you how many people have asked Dennis if he’s followed through with his “wedding vows involving the cat”!  …incidentally are broken wedding vows (involving the cat) actionable at law?.... ;o)

The whole experience of planning and organizing our wedding to include each of our children, my family’s Scottish heritage and to reflect the personalities of both Dennis & I could not possibly have been achieved without your guidance and experience.  It was such a pleasure to work with you over the 6 months leading up to our wedding.  As very busy people and with Dennis living in another city during the planning months, the least amount of stress was not something we envisioned in the planning and yet it was a reality.  We have you to thank for that.

Keith, your warmth and delivery of our wedding script was exceptional. The truth of your web-site was definitely seen through the wedding ceremony you performed for us.  Thanks so much for encouraging our humour and our love to be used throughout every aspect of the ceremony.  Generally wedding ceremonies are a blur the minute they’re concluded, but that’s not the case with our ceremony.  Dennis & I, our friends and family still talk about little incidents that occurred throughout the ceremony and how memorable the entire day was. It truly was a distinctive, personal and EXCEPTIONAL ceremony.

We cherish the memories of our special day and we thank you from the depths of our hearts for helping us to realize our dream day!

Sincerely,  Heather & Dennis

Keith,

We truly enjoyed the ceremony you put together for us. It was more than we had expected and we both felt that it was unique, and extremely well received by our guests.  Though I must admit we were a little nervous about the unorthodox idea of facing the audience, looking back we wouldn't have done it any other way.
 
Jamie & Cassie

Hi Lynne,

We are back from our honeymoon (but still on vacation:)

A more formal thank you is to follow but I just wanted to let you know how amazing you are, you honestly instilled this sense of calm in everyone, including myself and made our wedding something authentic and unique - something that truly encompassed us as individuals. What you and Keith do is truly an art form and we cannot thank you enough. I always envisioned myself not being able to focus on what was being said during the ceremony but I hung on your every word. We both felt extremely comfortable with you the second we met you and I know that my family felt the same way.

We couldn't have done it without you!!!!!  Thanks a million!

Happily married,

Samantha & Phil

Keith

You did an excellent job. I would recommend you to anyone I know. I have nothing but beautiful memories of my wedding ceremony, and most of the credit must go to you. During our planning meeting you were well prepared, had many good suggestions and made my husband and I feel very welcomed and comfortable. You are a very sociable individual. I only got good vibes from you during our session and felt reassured when I left that we were in good hands.

You were able to incorporate my vision into the ceremony and everyone commented on the special touches which were added to the ceremony. You are the "Bomb". Our wedding guests still talk about the ceremony and have expressed their delight to us. Is it too far in advance to schedule you for our renewal vows in 2015?

Thanks Keith,

First off, great job on Saturday. Not just in terms of the execution, but also in terms of guiding us in advance with respect to hints on how to make the event all the more special and personal to us. We really think we achieved this, especially based on the feedback we've received thus far.

Again, thanks Keith. A great job and we would not hesitate recommending your services to any of our friends down the road.

Cheers, Nick & Stefanie

Lynne,

Jon and I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for the beautiful ceremony. It was so nice to be able to choose what was said at our wedding. It was much more meaningful saying the words that we both felt. You did a wonderful job, keeping us both relaxed. Thank you for officiating the perfect ceremony on our perfect day.

Lynne,

Juste un petit mot pour te dire que nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'accueil chaleureux ainsi que tes précieux conseils pour notre mariage. Nous étions un peu nerveux avant la rencontre, mais tu nous as tout de suite mis en confiance!

Félicitations aussi à ton mari pour le beau site Web!

Salutations,

Linda et Daniel

Keith,

We were so pleased with the ceremony and wanted to thank you for helping us getting it all together. You really made us feel very comfortable. It was so nice of you to suggest the alternative way to approach a wedding ceremony. Everyone really enjoyed it and was able to see our faces and hear your words. We wouldn't have known how to do something like that before.

Also, thanks for your suggestions on wording which really helped us get it all together. We will never forget it and couldn't have had a nicer experience. Here are some pictures for you. Hopefully they provide a good feel of the ceremony, and what you do so well.

Thanks for everything,

Holly and Tim

Hi Keith,

We were very happy with how the ceremony turned out and appreciate your role in that. Many guests told us how much they liked the ceremony, your presentation and delivery. Your suggestions for wording and phrases were very helpful for us when we were preparing for our big day.

Rebecca & Roland

Hi Lynne,

Thank you so much for conducting our ceremony!  What a day!!  Having you in control made everything so much less stressful for us so thanks a million!

Take care, and again THANK YOU!!!

Dana & Dean

Lynne,

Just a quick note to thank you so much for the lovely wedding service last Friday at Strathmere. I could not have asked or hoped for anything better. Your suggestions were great and it was the smoothest item of the whole evening, which is good because it was also the most important.

Cathy, Mike & family

Hi Keith,

First of all, I'd like to thank you for the wonderful ceremony help you provided before the wedding; the preparation of the ceremony was fantastic! 

Your experience shows & it certainly helped me with getting everything I wanted in the amount of time I wanted.  The ceremony went off without a hitch and a LOT of the guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was and how "real" it was compared to the by the book weddings.  A few friend couples of ours recently got engaged and I'll be referring your services.

Thank you for taking a lot of stress off of a very stressful day. it was smooth sailing from the ceremony on. Oh, and the other thing the guests LOVED was the fact that we were facing them and that we were the focus of the attention (with you down among the guests). 

Francine & James

Hello Keith,

Rich and I would like to thank you for the beautiful ceremony that you officiated about a week ago. We were incredibly impressed and many of our guests complimented us on the ceremony itself. Your preparedness really showed and we will forever remember our special ceremony. Thanks so much!

We were so glad to have you as our officiant. It was a beautiful ceremony and was expertly planned by using your outline and also by choosing what we wanted to incorporate.

Thanks again for making our ceremony so memorable!

Hi Keith,

Thank you for officiating at our wedding.  It was absolutely perfect, considering we didn't go thru a rehearsal at all (groomsmen came up from Toronto night before @ 11pm). 

It being a stressful day, there were two people that we could count on to brighten it up... Our photographer was one of them and the other was you.  It was comforting to see you, all relaxed and calm.  You really did make our day. 

Everybody commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was.  We will HIGHLY recommend you for all weddings to come.

Thank you once again,
Mia & Jon

Dear Keith and Lynne,

What a wonderful day we had!  Our wedding was the most memoriable event of our relationship.  You both were so very warm and hospitable.  We cannot thank you enough for opening your home to us.  We are very appreciative of all that you did and even for your family members to participate and help us was incredible.

Thank you for the wonderful memories of our special day.  All the best to you and your family. 

Please do share our words to the public.  You come highly recommended!

Sincerely,

Patricia and Richard
