Luc Despatis

Luc Despatis was incredible to work with while we created our non-traditional, bilingual, handfasting wedding. He helped us blend the requirements for a legally recognized wedding and our own personal ceremony rituals. Luc was very calming, which is such a relief while planning something so big and stressful as a wedding. Extremely well prepared; he had everything in his binder, so the ceremony was smooth. His experience and intuition as an officiant is exceptional—even the small details of a matching tie, stepping back during blessings/readings, smoothly bringing speaking notes, and stepping away from the frame when he declared the newlywed spouses. Merci Luc! May 2024

Luc Despatis played one of the most important parts in our most special of days. Working with Luc (if that’s what you call it!) was a pleasure right from the very first meeting, and his expertise plus organization provided for the most seamless and worry-free of experiences. His warm and calm demeanor provided a superbly reassuring influence at exactly the points in which he knew things would become emotional for my wife and I. While we know this obviously isn’t his first rodeo, he made it as personal an experience as we could have ever hoped for. Thank you, Luc! July 2024

In the joyous chaos of the wedding, things get missed or overlooked, but Luc's reminders helped us stay on track. On the day, he arrived at the venue before the requested time, all dressed up for the occasion! He looked very sharp, and we appreciated him following the dress code for our wedding. He had a very organized folder with all the official papers and went over them before the ceremony to avoid any confusion. He is a great conversationalist and full of witty jokes; our guests loved him. During the ceremony, he made us feel super comfortable amidst the nervousness and excitement. He stepped away when we shared our first kiss so that the photos turned out good. Also, during the signing, he set up the signing table in a very photogenic way (I feel all these little things add up--and we appreciate all of these little acts of kindness). Luc was kind, organized, prepared, thoughtful, and very patient with us. We loved him! May 2024

Luc was amazing ! So easy to talk to very thorough with how the ceremony would proceed! You can tell he has a lot of experience, not only with being an amazing officiant but experience at our venue. Thank you again Luc !September 2023

Luc Despatis added so much class, professionalism, grace, and fun to our Wedding ceremony! His guiding hand and words of encouragement to settle an emotional groom were very much appreciated! We both felt comfortable to inject some small improvisational comments and laughter which really added to a wonderful memory. Thank you to Luc for making our special day so wonderful!! August 2023

Luc went above and beyond and helped us make decisions on things we had not thought of. He made things so much more fun and easy for us. He was funny and charismatic during the ceremony. April 2023

Luc Despatis was wonderful to work with and performed a trilingual ceremony. It was very special for my husband and I to be able to include French, English and Spanish in our wedding. Merci Luc! December 2022

We got married in November 2022 and had a great experience with all seasons. We would definitely recommend Luc, an officiant who will go above and beyond for your ceremony!

Luc Despatis was great! Super organized and made the process easy and fun for us. He was great the day off and the entire process leading up to our big day! I would highly recommend him!!! October 2022

Luc Despatis was amazing to work with! He was so fun and very helpful in every way. He was also very quick to answer our questions by email. Luc performed an awesome ceremony at the venue Le Belvédère, Wakefield. It was perfect that we wanted. We highly recommend Luc to be your officiant! September 2022

Luc Despatis was wonderful! Super organized with lots of great tips and insight and really made the wedding day special. Merci Luc! September 2022

Luc Despatis met all of our expectations and some! Thank you for everything! Aug 2022

Luc [Despatis] was amazing, very professional, very nice; and he provided the exact ceremony we were envisioning. July 2022

We were lucky enough to have had Luc Despatis as our officiant. We had attended a wedding last August and he was the officiant there. We really enjoyed his service so requested Luc as our officiant for our wedding. From the first conversation we had with him, we knew we liked him. He was very personable and kind. He has a great sense of humor and at the same time has a sentimental nature. Luc was great with communication and never left us hanging when we had questions. He was very helpful with suggestions on how to make our ceremony our own. Luc was also very flexible and went above and beyond for us when we ran into some unrelated glitches with our wedding. He always took the stress off of us and made us feel at ease with planning out all the details of our ceremony. We would absolutely not hesitate to highly recommend Luc as an officiant. If we had to do it all over again, Luc would be our number one choice. Thanks Luc, Heart to Heart Hug, Sept 2022

Merci à Luc Despatis !Luc est le meilleur célébrant du monde.il était tout ce qu’on peu espérér. July 2022

Luc Despatis was our choice of wedding officiant, although we did not know him and chose him after scanning the many others. We are so happy, as It was meant to be. Our initial meeting not only related to what we had to do to prepare for the wedding ceremony but led us to a friendly sharing of similar travel experiences. Luc was very caring of Cindy and I, as our nerves showed a bit, as we began the ceremony in front of our family and friends. When Cindy began to get emotional, he gently touched her arm and reminded her that it was ok and to take a few deep breaths. He was so open and supportive of Cindy and I, as well very efficient in conducting the ceremony and making sure all the proper documents were filled out. I would certainly recommend Luc to anyone looking for a personable and caring wedding officiant. August 2022

Luc Despatis was amazing throughout the entire process. April 2022

We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful ceremony we had for our wedding. Everything was so easy planning it with the Ottawa Wedding Chapel and Luc made it completely exceptional. Luc, many thanks for the way you made the ceremony, you made it charismatic and so lovely, it was a mix of emotions but at the end, we are completely satisfied and happy the way everything took place. July 2022

Luc Despatis was extremely helpful and whenever we needed him, he was there either by phone, email or in person. He was super kind, funny, and very reliable! May 2022

Luc Despatis is very detail oriented. I heard he had the flower girl do something special (throw peddles at the groom’s feet). That was a nice and funny touch! Luc was helpful and kept us posted on his arrival and was responsive throughout the process. Merci Luc! May 2022

We could not have asked for a more wonderful officiant for our small family wedding. Luc was very helpful in guiding us through all the paperwork and preparations we needed to do for the marriage ceremony, and gave us many useful suggestions and ideas for planning a ceremony that suited us and our relationship. On the wedding day Luc was great at managing any nerves that came up, and he came very prepared so that the ceremony went seamlessly. He is so friendly and welcoming and made both Ryan and I feel very much at ease, despite only having spoken to us over the phone and Facetime before the ceremony.

This wedding was a second one for us both. We are a fun, relaxed and non-traditional couple. We wanted our ceremony to reflect this. We have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience with All Seasons and with our officiant Luc Despatis. Whenever we had questions or concerns, we received answers immediately. Customer services was A+! We requested a French officiant. Luc Despatis, even through the pandemic, was always there to answer our questions and was so easy to talk to. He was really there for us and to ensure we had the ceremony we had envisioned. We had to meet by FaceTime during the COVID-19 pandemic. Luc was willing to be our officiant even in these uncertain times. We chose to keep our original date and we are so happy we did. Luc absolutely made our day perfect. We had laughter, tears of joy and a wonderful ceremony. We highly recommend Luc. Thank you once more to Luc and All Seasons for such a beautiful ceremony. Lynn & Pascal June 2020

Luc Despatis was a fantastic officiant and did a wonderful job. He went above and beyond to really personalize the ceremony for us and really make it feel perfect. We were both obviously nervous on the big day, and Luc was able to keep us relaxed throughout the ceremony, ensuring there were no hiccups. David & Vanessa September 2020

Luc is the best! From the very beginning he was super helpful and friendly. Due to COVID-19, we had to change our plans, but he was always very patient, understanding, and supportive. He is an amazing person and we feel truly lucky to have had the opportunity to have him as our wedding officiant. Muchísimas gracias por todo Luc! Andrea & Alfonso September 2020

Depuis le début, notre célébrant Luc, a été présent pour nous, il a su nous guider et répondre à nos questions. Il a été présent pendant tout le processus et son but a toujours été le même: qu'on puisse avoir la cérémonie de nos rêves. On est très choyé d'avoir pu l'avoir pour notre journée spéciale. Un grand merci Luc : ) Joseph & Maya Août 2020

Our wedding was on August 15 2020 during a time that was hard for everyone but Luc made it happen regardless the circumstances. He was very professional and look great in his suit that match our wedding.? He followed our wants and he added his touch as well that completed our ceremony. He even gave me advice where to have our ceremony outdoors and we have no regrets doing it at the rockcliff Pavilion. It was beautiful. Thanks again Luc Bruce & Shanda August 2020

Considering the fact that we had a COVID wedding... It went really well. Luc rolled with the punches and was flexible through the whole event. We would 100% recommend him to someone else. Justin & Isabelle July 2020

Luc Despatis was great!

Luc Despatis was incredible! We are not from the area so finding an officiant was a difficult task - he made us feel so comfortable and heard. We did all our meetings over Face-time, and we appreciated his flexibility. We were able to customize our entire ceremony, adding out native languages, prayers, readings etc. Everyone loved Luc, he made them laugh, cry all at the right times. Thanks again for everything Luc! Joris & Diana October 2019

Luc Despatis is an amazing officiant. We chose him, as he had previously performed the ceremony for my brother and his now wife. Luc put us at ease and was willing to work with us to add in personal touches, even some he was not familiar with! He is also discreet, guiding you during the ceremony, if you forget to do something, and somehow is able to sneak out of every photo shot! He was wonderful and we could not have asked for someone better to marry us! Thierry & Amelie September 2019

We really appreciated Luc's experience, professionalism and kindness during our wedding day. His small gestures were made all the more important because of the high emotion of the day. I really appreciated, as the bride, that he came to see me before the ceremony to let me know he was there and to see how I was feeling. My husband really appreciated that he lent him his tie clip for the ceremony! These small attentive details made all the difference to us and we feel really blessed to have met Luc and to have him be a part of such a special moment in our lives. October, 2018.

Luc Despatis was wonderful! He was organized, kind, funny and professional and we were so happy to have him marry us! December, 2018.

Luc Despatis met our expectations and certainly went way beyond anything we could have hoped for. He was extremely helpful and very friendly in every possible way. Our first contact with him was when he was away on holidays and he responded right away and was truly wonderful and helped us a lot with planning our ceremony when he was in Nepal! He is such a classy, well versed, natural man - We can not have asked for a better experience and everyone loved him! Absolutely without a second thought! We could not be more pleased with our experience and more grateful. Again, thank you so very much - we are over the moon and very impressed. Lorraine & Ross

Luc Despatis was so helpful, friendly and professional. He was all around amazing! Guests thought he was part of the family. That is how connected he was. We can't thank Luc enough for his service. He was personable and organized, he made us laugh and kept us calm during the ceremony. We couldn't have asked for someone better to marry us. Merci, for the bottom of our hearts! Ian & Isabelle

Luc Despatis was great! We wanted a bilingual ceremony that honored our mother tongue, Spanish. We were lucky enough to work with Luc on a ceremony that reflected our values and beliefs while incorporating family members as well. Couldn't have asked for more! Jacqueline & Edwin

Thank you Luc (Despatis). I just wanted to take a second and just say thank you. I've found the process so far for the ceremony to be very very simple given how helpful you have been. I'm sure you get this a lot, but you're just really making me feel relieved with the preparation, so thank you! If anything else comes up I will let you know, but if not I will see you on Saturday! Cole & Amanda

Luc Despatis est tres amicale, a l'heure et a l'ecoute de nos besoins. Merci beaucoup, notre journee a ete bien reussi grace a l'excellent service que vous nous avez donner. Diane & Pierre

Luc Despatis was amazing. He made us feel so comfortable, he smiled with us. I felt like he was one of our family members. He helped the groom calmed down before the bride arrived. Our ceremony was beautiful. We would like to thank All Seasons Weddings and especially Luc Despatis. We would recommend him with no hesitation. David & Carole

Luc Despatis more than met our expectations - he surpassed them! Luc was great at answering questions when we were looking at putting together our program and creating our own personable ceremony for the big day. He was prompt at getting back to us and a good communicator in letting us know when he would be out of town in case we needed to reach him. We couldn't have put a program together and ran a ceremony as smoothly without him. Luc Issa really helpful and super friendly! Thank you, Luc for officiating our wedding and helping us putting together the ceremony! Andrew & Tharie

Nik & I wanted to thank Luc Despatis again for such a great ceremony. We both liked that it was sort of casual, relaxed, and fun which he made happen. Luc is very good at what he does and I will highly recommend him to any of my friends. Alice & Nik

Luc Despatis was a personable and respectful officiant. From the first time we met him we knew he would be able to conduct the wedding ceremony of our dreams; and that he did. Thank you so much Luc! Jessica & Maxime

Luc Despatis was fantastic - friendly and organized right from the start! We wanted something a little different for our blended family and Luc was open to all our ideas and provided wonderful suggestions. Whenever Patrick and I talk about the ceremony we always talk about how calming Luc was - he was so professional but laughed with us when it was needed!! We are so happy we chose him because we couldn't imagine having someone else marry us. He was perfectly suited! Thank you Luc, thank you for making sure our incredibly wonderful day got off to such a great start. Merci!! Josee & Patrick
