My husband and I can't speak highly enough of Joel Rivera! He gave us a wonderfully personal ceremony and empowered us as we wrote our own vows.

Joel Rivera is a very charismatic and kind person. A kind of person perfect to be an officiant.

He even wore a barong tagalog (national dress of the Philippines) for the ceremony! Everyone loved Joel! He worked so well with our other vendors and they all loved him as well. August 2022

The booking was easy and the response was received very promptly. The deposit was completed over the phone and customer service was top-notch, the person on the other side was very polite, happy to help and congratulate us for our big day. Our Wedding Officiant, Joel Rivera, was more than we could have hoped for. Extremely attentive to every detail and knowledgeable in every aspect! Highly recommend!! Would use them again... ohhh wait... you only get married once :) this is it for me :) Iryna & Norbert Sept 2020

Joel Rivera was so incredibly kind, helpful, supportive, and knowledgable throughout both the lead-up to, and during our ceremony. Because we married during the pandemic, our original contact was through multiple emails and a phonecall where he answered all our questions and setup a checklist of tasks for us to complete. We were completely clueless about the process prior to speaking with him, and he took the time to explain all the steps, and then also checked in with us to ensure they were completed in a timely manner. Because we were actually being quarantined for two weeks (we had arrived from out of country to marry in our hometown Vancouver), Joel also checked in with us multiple times to see if we needed help with anything since we couldn't leave our houses. On the day of our ceremony (at a public park), he arrived early and helped setup by making sure the location was free of other people. Joel had prepared our wedding ceremony script in a bound portfolio for us to all read from, which was a very nice touch (better than the cue cards I was planning to use). He was so polite and well-spoken during the ceremony, but also personable and jovial, making our ceremony feel very intimate as if we were just conversing with an old friend. The parents and grandparents all loved him as he socialized with the crowd very naturally (and also very important - he speaks loudly and clearly they could all hear him, including our hearing-impaired grandmother!). Joel made everything easy in a time of many unknowns, and we 100% recommend him! Natalie & Elliot Aug 2020

The staff at All Seasons was very friendly and helpful, they were super flexible in helping us change dates and venues many times due to COVID restrictions. Our officiant Joel Rivera went above and beyond to make our ceremony a very special one. Joel helped us with a lot of details Like the writing of our vows. He even brought a tripod and a microphone to help us stream our ceremony trough zoom. I would absolutely recommend Joel if you want to make your wedding ceremony an unforgettable one. Christopher & Aisa July 2020

Joel Rivera was great to work with. He was very professional, personable and went above and beyond what we asked. He was very helpful, detail orientated and was flexible with all our changes.

It was such a joy to work with Joel (Rivera) on our ceremony. The moment we met Joel we instantly felt comfortable with him -- he felt like family! Throughout the process, Joel guided us with such detail and professionalism that we trusted him completely to give us the ceremony we wanted. We asked for some custom traditional Filipino elements that he incorporated so seamlessly. Due to COVID, we had to reschedule our wedding and we had no doubt we wanted to continue to work with Joel. He accepted our change in plans with enthusiasm. On our wedding day, the ceremony went off without a hitch. I heard from family that Joel even stepped in to help out with some of the reception decor before the start of the ceremony! Our family also said they enjoyed some of the light-hearted moments and jokes he infused in our ceremony. We are so grateful we got to work with Joel. We highly recommend him! Sharlene & Ron, August 2020

Joel (Rivera) was amazing! His experience, organization and his fun and relaxed personality made us feel like we were in great hands. Everything went so smoothly and Joel really did such a great job at making us feel at ease from the start. He was accommodating with all our changes and his check-in emails really helped us to make sure we were staying on track. We unfortunately did not get to spend too much time time with him before or after the ceremony as we were so busy but our guests were really impressed by Joel's friendliness and professionalism. Weddings are a lot and there are so many things to worry about but definitely not with Joel! It was one of the easiest and best decisions we made! Cassy & Tommy, August 2020

Thank you very much for sending Joel over to us as the marriage commissioner. He was a fantastic guy and had a very nice demeanor. I just wanted you to know that we had a very pleasant time with him. All the best Eman & Pantea

We couldn’t have been happier with Joel Rivera as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning of our planning process, Joel helped us work through how we wanted our ceremony to go, step by step. Joel was always great to talk to and seemed genuinely interested in helping us plan a ceremony that worked for us. One thing we really appreciated was his way of asking each of us questions separately in order to help us write our vows. It helped make our vows both heartfelt and uplifting, and made that part of the ceremony so much less stressful for both of us. We’d highly recommend Joel to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding! Stephen & Julie August 2019

Joel Rivera was our wedding officiant and we absolutely loved him. Everything was so easy from the beginning till the end.

Just want to express how thankful we were to Joel Rivera for his services. He was so professional yet so friendly and everything was so perfect. We got so many appreciations and compliments from our family and friends for the ceremony. He made our marriage process so easy and stress-free.

Joel was very approachable and friendly when he approached both my husband and myself to witness the wedding of Klaus and Martina. We were both more than happy to do this and we told him he picked the perfect couple to do this. Although we just met the couple, we immediately connected with them. Tears were shed from both of us ladies. Joel was very professional and clear with his service. Although it was rainy, he was also well prepared to keep us dry with umbrellas. All and all it was a delightful service and a day we will always remember. Joel also followed through with emailing the pictures to us. I took most of the photos from his phone. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Joel (Rivera) was awesome!! He took the time to chat with us on may occasions and made sure we were happy with how the ceremony was to play out. He really made our day! From the jokes to the personalized vows, our wedding wouldn't have been as fun without his help. Totally recommend his service :) from Yuki

Joel (Rivera) was so great to work with, and checked in with us often. He was always prepared and is personable, which helped put us at ease, and we felt taken care of. I loved that he had his own copy of our vows in his book, making our vows very seamless. Thank you so much Joel! We so enjoyed getting to know you! Natalie & Edward 08/13/17

I would like to take the opportunity to comment on our marriage Officiant Joel Rivera. We were coming from the Middle East so many emails were sent with questions of what was required from us to get married in BC. Joel was amazing on all levels very professional helping us sort out all the arrangements and making us feel very much at ease with the requirements needed to obtaining a marriage licence to sorting out the perfect location. The day of the reception was a wonderful experience. Joel was friendly, it felt like we had know each other for years - not meeting for the first time. My guests really enjoyed spending time with him not feeling rushed in any way. He really made our time special in getting married in British Columbia. A perfect day and experience we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the perfect marriage officiant.

Joel (Rivera) stands out in a sea of officiants! He was kind and friendly, but most of all made the ceremony so personalized to the couple that you could tell it was personally written and not just pulled from a book. Joel held a beautiful and fun ceremony and if you want a non cookie cutter wedding he is your man!! - Taqueesha (wedding photographer) 04/22/17

We were getting married on a boat, so we were looking for a simple, romantic & fun ceremony. It was a wonderful, unforgettable day. We have nothing but great things to say about Joel (Rivera), he was great! He made us both feel very comfortable and created a great atmosphere. Joel made our day exactly how we envisioned, we could not asked for any better. Thank you! Paulina & Michael

I had the pleasure of planning and coordinating my Sister-in-Law's wedding and having Joel Rivera Officiate the ceremony was definitely one of the high points. Joel was super easy to work with, brought humor and levity to the ceremony, appropriately assisted the bride and groom prior to and during the wedding ceremony and engaged with many of our guests. I would happily utilize Joel's services again and would gladly encourage others to do the same. Thanks Joel!!

Having Joel (Rivera) was one of the best decisions we could have made for the wedding. He was great to deal with, made us feel so comfortable and prepared us completely for what we would expect for our big day! We highly recommend Joel for anyone looking to make have their ceremony feel as personal and special for the two of us as ours did!
