We had an opportunity to speak and interview two different officiants, which helped us pick the most suitable one for us, which was Kevin Tay. Kevin was the perfect officiant for us! We chose Kevin because he was personable, humorous, and seemed very experienced. Kevin was very responsive and always quick to answer our emails. He was flexible when working with us to create our ceremony script and incorporated everything we had requested, including a cantonese translation so my parents could understand. When my fiance and I couldn't find a reading we liked, Kevin took the time to write a brief summary of how we met and our little love story. We loved how personal it made our ceremony. On the wedding day, Kevin was kind and took the time to introduce himself to our family and vendors. He even brought his own mic and speakers as backup. He went above and beyond when he stepped in to help us organize our guests for wedding photos by announcing our photo list as an MC. We would definitely recommend Kevin! May 2023

I met Kevin back in university and was surprised to see him at my sister-in-law's wedding. We knew then that we wanted Kevin to officiate our wedding as well. Kevin was both professional and friendly during our communications and in-person rehearsal. He broke down the ceremony procedure to us and sent us his script for our approval way in advance of our wedding. Kevin even offered to bring extra mics and speakers to our wedding in case of an emergency. We had our wedding at UBC Boathouse and during the ceremony, there were 3 back-to-back flights that flew above us, which interrupted our vows. However, Kevin cracked a joke which made things less awkward for everyone. Keep up the great work Kevin! October 2023

Booking through All Seasons was extremely easy. We appreciated the detailed information and ease of making payments via etransfer. Thank you for your help! Getting married by Kevin Tay and celebrating with all our closest family and friends was amazing. Kevin was incredibly helpful and thoughtful through the entire process. He was prompt with his responses and gave us many tips and tricks on how to prepare, and write our vows. He was a fantastic and engaging officiant -- we especially appreciated the Chinese translations he provided for our parents. We would highly recommend Kevin and All Seasons to all our friends and family! September 2023

Kevin Tay did a wonderful job officiating our wedding! Communication with him was very easy and efficient, he was punctual (early, actually), prepared, and he made us feel at ease on our signing day! He has such a friendly, upbeat, warm personality - I would definitely recommend Kevin to anyone looking for an officiant. Bonus - he is bilingual! August 2022

Anthony & May
Kevin Tay did an amazing job. He went above and beyond for us! We didn’t have an emcee, he jumped right in for us. The venue does not provide a microphone and speaker. He came back with them. He made sure the guests were taken care of while my husband and I were still scrambling to get ready. Every now and then, he would throw in a few friendly joke or two to keep the guests going. I was bit confused with the marriage license and how to retrieve one. He even went with us and walked us through one step at a time. I would highly recommend him as an officiant! He deserves 5/5 stars! July 2022

Ailene & Andrew
Kevin Tay was perfect for our ceremony. He was very professional and personable throughout the whole process which made us feel reassured on our special day. We wanted something short and sweet for our ceremony and he definitely made it a pleasant experience for us. He’s very organized and thoughtful especially when we were taking group photos after the ceremony and making sure we all had our chance to take photos together. He also came prepared with a microphone and speaker set and made it so easy for us to play some music during the ceremony which made it ten times more special! We loved how comfortable he made us feel and we would highly recommend Kevin to anyone. Thanks again for everything, Kevin! July 2022

Kevin Tay was amazing! He preformed a beautiful ceremony for us.

Jannie & Jacson
If you need an officiant for your wedding, Kevin Tay must be on the top of your list. Throughout the pandemic, Kevin has been very informative and supportive every step of the way from the day we met him to our wedding day. On top of that, Kevin's genuine kindness goes above and beyond the usual duties as an officiant - something we deeply value and were very lucky to have. We were running a bit behind schedule due to traffic and arrived at our venue later than planned since we still needed to setup the tables and chairs. When we arrived at the venue, Kevin gave us a warm greeting and told us everything is ready to go. That was when we have realized he had set up all the tables, chairs, cake placement and even the microphone system for us! All of our stress literally just disappeared and we were able to have a smooth and lovely wedding. Thanks Kevin! Jannie & Jacson May 2021

Ryan & Ragielyn

Joyce & Tae
I would like to express our gratitude to Kevin Tay, as he has been highly accommodating, especially during this pandemic time. We downsized our wedding to elopement due to large gathering restrictions. He made us felt so relaxed all throughout. We were glad he pushed us to go for our personal impromptu vows, as we did not prepare our written vows. I highly recommend Kevin to everyone!. Thanks Kevin! Joyce & Tae May 2020

Momoko and Bernard
Kevin Tay was great! He made sure our wedding ceremony went as smoothly as possible and accommodated to our needs very well. He met with us beforehand to make sure we knew what to expect at the wedding and to answer any questions we had. This time was so valuable to us since we were clueless as to how the ceremony was to proceed. At the wedding we decided to step outdoors for the ceremony, and Kevin helped us out by suggesting the location best suited for us and our guests. We were very pleased with the service and would definitely recommend him! Thanks again Kevin! Momoko & Bernard December 2019
