Reviews
We wanted a bilingual wedding to represent both of us. Jean Duval did a great job blending the two so our families who only spoke one language were able to understand, but those who spoke both English and French weren't bored with repetition. August 2024

Jean Duval was the first one that caught our eyes. We reached out to him to speak, and we didn’t need to look any further. Jean was super adaptable when we had some touch challenges and had to make some changes. He was especially good at making the ceremony short and sweet but keeping it meaningful and upbeat.

Easy. The officiant was very knowledgeable about the process and was nice, friendly, and very professional. They provided many different payment options. Five stars to the officiant. April 2024
Nous voulons remercier notre célébrant Jean Duval pour son professionnalisme, son côté amicable, sa façon d'intéragir avec nos invités. Les services de Jean ont dépassé nos attentes. Il a su s'adapter à notre situation (cérémonie bilingue) en transitionnant d'une langue à l'autre naturellement. Notre cérémonie de mariage restera gravée dans notre mémoire comme étant un moment magique et touchant. Merci encore Jean et au plaisir de se recroiser :) ! mai 2023
Jean Duval made the process was extremely easy and quick. Having all the profiles to read, as well as filters to use so that we could narrow down our search for a bilingual officiant was extremely helpful. The whole day! We absolutely cannot pinpoint one thing in particular, however having Jean as our officiant was definitely a highlight! He was absolutely fantastic. Absolutely! Jean was amazing! He felt like he was apart of the family and made our ceremony so personal and full of emotion. Everyone asked if we had known him for a long time, that is how personable and wonderful he is!
Jean Duval is a delight. He is funny, professional, experienced, and respectful of our wishes. Thank you for officiating! August 2022

Jean Duval was fantastic! He was great to work with from the start to the end. He took our boring, normal ceremony script and made it his own, while sticking to the tone we wanted. He added special touches and jokes that made it so much better, and helped keep us both relaxed in the moment. He really helped walk us through the whole process. July 23 2022
Jean Duval was extremely helpful and kind throughout the entire process. We had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, and we were glad that Jean was still available for us. We quickly felt that Jean was a perfect fit, and our preparatory meeting confirmed it. He put us at ease and we felt ready for the big day. He knew how to advise us and guide us through everything we needed and was able to pinpoint our personality to suggest the best possible avenues for our ceremony. Jean is a very good listener, he is patient and cheerful. Our ceremony unfolded perfectly, Jean knew how to make our loved ones cry and laugh. Our guests gave us nothing but good comments about the ceremony. Jean felt like a friend. We know our day wouldn't have been the same without him! In short, we would recommend to everyone to contact All Seasons Weddings for their ceremony. Communication with the office was easy from the start. We needed a bilingual officiant in Quebec, as my family speaks French and my husband's family speaks English, and it was easy to find the necessary information on the website. Many thanks Jean and the team! April 2022

Jean Duval was an amazing officiant! Even during initial chats, we knew he’d be very easy going, friendly, and informative. We chose to work with him immediately. We had lots of questions and Jean was extremely responsive throughout the preparation. We are multicultural, Turkish and Jewish, so had some unique traditions to incorporate. Jean was amazing at being open minded, adaptive to the changes, and added his wonderful sense of humour to the event. Thank you so much Jean for officiating us, we really couldn’t have asked for anyone better! September 2021

Jean Duval was very professional and with a good sense of humour! Dec 2021

Lors de la cérémonie, le tout s’est fait naturellement et Jean a su capté l’attention des invités et même les faire rire. Merci pour tout! Octobre 2021

Jean Duval did a wonderful job officiating our wedding! He followed all of the requests that we had discussed with him during our planning meeting and made us feel so comfortable during the ceremony. Our whole family expressed to us afterwards what a great job he did and how much they enjoyed our ceremony. We would highly recommend him to any other couple getting married in the future!

Jean Duval was amazing! He was so encouraging and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. We moved locations a couple times due to the pandemic, and he was more than accommodating. Day of, Jean arrived on time and dressed very nicely! He made my husband and I laugh and smile when we said we were nervous. I would recommend Jean over and over again! Jacoby and Anastacia May 2021
Dear Jean (Duval), Thanks for being an important part of our special day. Your humour, your shoes and your kind nature were very much appreciated. All Seasons Weddings couldn’t have teamed us up with a better officiant. Thanks and best wishes, Royce & Nelson Sept 2020
Jean Duval was amazing! He met us early and often pre-COVID-19 days so easy and accommodating our every detail. Acquiring the wedding license turned out more challenging but perseverance paid off. joined by our immediate families our garden party summer wedding June 2020 COVID-19 was a great success even during one of the hottest days of the season. We highly recommend Jean with his warm and good-natured personality that put us and our guests at ease. His touches of levity during his readings and ceremony was a welcomed change. Can’t go wrong with Jean, Thank you! Don & Scott June 2020

Jean Duval was a pleasure to work with. We really appreciated his fun and light-hearted nature. Jean made some really helpful suggestions, and did well to guide us through the process and answer all of our questions. He was always on time and professional, but always made sure that we were having fun! We would highly recommend Jean to our friends and family. Jason & Charis October 2020
We had a wonderful ceremony with Jean Duval. We would highly recommend him to anyone getting married . Thank you so much! Luke and Tyler August 2020
To Jean Duval. Because we were to wed in an outdoor ceremony, we had the difficult task of finding someone to marry us. We needed someone who could perform the ceremony in both French and English but also could incorporate both of our religions, Baptist and Catholic! Quite the task! We started communicating with Jean via email. He would answer all of our questions very quickly and we liked what he had to say. When we met him in person, we knew right away that he was a perfect fit for us. Jean is funny, energetic and very polite. He listened to each and every one of our requests. He knows how to connect with guests and knows just what to say to help you to remain calm. We would recommend him in a heartbeat! Merci Jean! Tu nous as aidés à réaliser notre rêve.
We've first met Jean Duval when he conducted our daughter's Baptism ceremony and were impressed by his ability to make individuals feel at ease during a relatively stressful period. When my husband and I decided to make our union official, there was no hesitation as to where we would get our officiant. Jean performed both of our ceremonies in a professional and courteous manner to which we were forever grateful. We would recommend his services to anyone who is having their child baptized or who is getting married. Nanette, Mark and Olivia
From the moment we met Jean Duval over coffee, we knew it was a great fit. He put us at ease right away and answered all of our many questions. We really felt as though we got to know him beforehand, which made the ceremony all the more personal – as if we were being married by a friend! Jean brought out the best in everyone during the ceremony – from tears of laughter to tears of joy, Jean was the perfect Officiant.
