The booking process was extremely easy. We were looking for an officiant very last minute over the Christmas period. I was shocked to see there were three within our area that were available. We selected Duane MacTavish as he seemed like the best fit for us. Once we finished booking, Duane set up a time to meet with us to go over the ceremony details. We had a very small, intimate wedding, which made the whole experience very stress-free. My family was all visiting from Australia, which was very exciting. The day was simple, easy, and fun! The day ran perfectly. Duane helped make our day extra special. He and his wife both attended the ceremony. Duane had a very calm demeanour, which made us both feel very comfortable. He even had a tissue handy for me when I was crying through my vows. We would both recommend him for any future elopements / weddings. Thanks Duane! December 2024

Duane was a fantastic officiant, he understood exactly what we wanted and was very kind. June 2023

I knew exactly who I wanted as our officiant. Duane made our ceremony very enjoyable and calming. My husband and I are both very nervous people in front of crowds but Duane made it very comfortable and we had a lot of feedback from our guests about how professional he was but also very comforting. We love thinking back to the ceremony and how perfect it was. Everything was fantastic. Duane is honestly the best officiant I have ever come across. The planning meeting with him was easy and we understood everything that was going to happen. He is a very easy person to communicate with. My family and I have been to many weddings in the past and I have also had the honor of being a guest at a wedding Duane has officiated, and I can honestly say he is the best. He makes the guests feel involved and like he is including everyone when he speaks. We are honored to have had him in our wedding. September 2023

Duane allowed us to incorporate a small humorous addition to our vows to make them perfect and so much more meaningful to us! Plus the added bonus of entertaining all our guests with a bit of laughter. Everything was pretty straight forward. I was a little nervous about booking online without actually meeting anyone but I was contacted right away and was able to reach out to Duane quickly as well. Duane was amazing, he explained so much to us before hand so that we knew what to expect. September 2023

Duane MacTavish did such a fantastic job, and his wife was so sweet and helpful as well.

Duane MacTavish was incredible! He tweaked the ceremony speech to suit our personalities which contributed to a more light-hearted and warm ceremony. With Duane, it didn't feel as though a stranger was up there with us but a friend which made for a very intimate and personable experience. We could not have asked for a better officiant or a better ceremony. Matthew & Michelle August 2019
