Josh & Kellie
I had the absolute pleasure of having Joe McParland as the officiant for our wedding, and I can't express how truly exceptional he was. From our very first meeting, Joe took the time to get to know us as a couple. On the day of the wedding, Joe's calming presence was a welcome relief amidst the excitement and nerves. He conducted the ceremony with such grace and eloquence, seamlessly blending heartfelt moments with a touch of humor. He spoke with a sincerity that brought tears to the eyes of our guests. With Joe, you're not just hiring an officiant; you're gaining a trusted friend and guide through one of the most important moments of your life. If you want a heartfelt, personalized, and beautifully executed ceremony, Joe McParland is the officiant you've been searching for. Thank you, Joe, for making our special day even more magical.

Joe McParland was an amazing officiant. We loved how accommodating and helpful he was with the planning of the ceremony. We loved all the personal touches that he was able to include in our ceremony. September 2021

Jessica & Eric
Joe McParland was fantastic to work with. He was very professional and supportive throughout the entire process. We were planning our wedding from out of town and during the pandemic - Joe was flexible as our wedding date changed, and helped us to connect with vendors for our ceremony space. He truly went above and beyond for us. Our event took place at the Capitol Theatre (Joe’s recommendation) - and it was spectacular. During the ceremony Joe kept a great balance of humour and sincerity and was well-spoken, easy to hear - without a microphone (just as he said he would be lol). We cannot thank Joe enough, he truly made our day special! June 2022

We have already had numerous guests from our wedding inquire about Joe, and about All Seasons. We cannot rave enough about Joe! He was absolutely amazing and brought light, fun and laughter to our ceremony - exactly what we wanted! He took the time to get to know us, our story together, and our personalities, and brought so much of that to our ceremony, you would swear he had known us for years. September 2022

Joe McParland was fantastic! He exceeded our expectations in so many ways. He made suggestions that definitely added to our ceremony, making it extra special, he is easy to connect with, and he has a clear louder voice which was perfect for our outdoor wedding with those background outside noises. So incredibly happy that we were able to have Joe marry us! Matthew & Alexandra September 2020

JOE McParland IS INCREDIBLE! He made our wedding so memorable and just a moment of pure joy. He brought laughter and kindness during our vows. It is his approach and demeanour that made the day light and comfortable. Any nervousness that I had immediately left because his presence is so welcoming. There are not enough words to describe Joe. He should be apart of everyone's wedding. Especially as a guest! He is simply amazing. Brandon & Sarah Oct 2020

Joe officiated our wedding ceremony at the Canadian Club Heritage Centre. He was engaging, enthusiastic and personal. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants the perfect combination of humour, love and sincerity. During our planning, Joe was very accommodating and helpful.

Our ceremony could not have been more perfect. My guests absolutely love the way Joe McParland preformed our ceremony. It couldn't have been better he was just amazing. He even waited an extra 10 mins to start just to wait for my grandma to come. I will never forget that and I couldn't be more happier. I have already recommended your service to 5 of my friends who are getting married. My wedding day was perfect and magical I couldn't have been happier. All of my guests thought Joe was just wonderful. Thank you so much for making my wedding ceremony dream come to life.

Joe McParland went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable during our initial meeting and so that everything didn't come as a surprise on the day of the wedding!

Paige & Kyle
Thank you so much for officiating what we feel was the best wedding ceremony ever!!!!!!! People are still talking about your impeccable timing with the boat honking down on the Detroit River to the paw prints with George and Lewis (their Golden Retrievers) on the marriage license. Kyle and I are beyond happy with how everything turned out. Our guests raved about the traditional, yet light hearted ceremony (just what we wanted!). In fact Karen from Canadian Club Heritage Centre said it was the best wedding yet! We will definitely recommend you to everyone we know who is getting married.
