Rev Laurence McKenna, MDiv (St. Michael's), ThM (Toronto)

We had a really great experience with Laurence McKenna. He was easy to deal with, very personable and knowledgeable with ideas to help us within the ceremony .November 2022

Laurence McKenna went above and beyond. He was great to work with and helped us with our vision for a handfasting ceremony. The day turned out beautiful and our officiant worked with us to find in detail the passages we wanted and helping with ideas. Thank you Laurence for helping us make this day a fun memory. July 2022

Everything was starting to fall apart when we learned that no officiant was included on our wedding day. I was starting to lose hope that we would be able to find one last minute because I knew we were asking for the borderline impossible…. but Natasha was absolutely incredible in helping us save our wedding day at the last moment. She was incredibly kind and beyond helpful in helping us. Literally within about 35 minutes, we had an officiant on the way. Laurence McKenna showed up and literally saved our wedding day. He was incredibly kind, very thoughtful, and funny which was a very welcome change of pace after all of the last-minute stress of trying to scramble to find an officiant. We cannot thank Natasha and Laurence enough! Sept 2022

Laurence McKenna is truly a remarkable person. He not only delivered one of the best ceremonies, he is easy-going, funny, accommodating, and truly amazing! We would recommend him in a heart-beat! He matched our sense of humour perfectly, and definitely provided a ceremony which reflected on our needs and wants. He was captivating which definitely reflected on our love that we share.

Laurence McKenna did an awesome job! He was very good at listening to what my partner and I wanted and worked to make our dream a reality. July 2022

We absolutely loved having Laurence McKenna officiate our wedding ? He was such a pleasure. June 2022

Rev Laurence McKenna was an absolute delight. He exceeded our expectations ten-fold. Rev McKenna arrived early and was able to go over the documents with us ahead of time and next steps. The ceremony was perfect. The reading and vows were exactly what we wanted (and allowed us to really be ourselves - adding soft humour and kindness). Following the ceremony, not only our attendants signed as witnesses, but also our sons that did not act as witnesses, but rather participants. It was kind, loving and we could not have been happier - on this day, the happiest day of our lives. Thank you so much Rev McKenna for making the first day of the rest of our lives together so magical. April 2022

Laurence McKenna was amazing! Thank you for making the day perfect. February 2022

Our minister Laurence was awesome !! We couldn’t have many guests and it was cold he was awesome with his jokes and his Speed and he is just all-around personable! I was so stressed and he made it all so easy I would highly recommend him. Jan 2022

From the day we saw Laurence McKenna's profile we knew that we would be in good hands. My wife and I meshed perfectly with his overall approach as he was kind, accommodating, and supportive. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process to make our day was as simple and elegant as we expected. We thank him for what he did on our special day and all his support through these uncertain times. Jan 2022

Laurence McKenna was a dream to work with!!! He went above and beyond for my wife and I. He even walked around Cambridge with us to show us a couple other potential outdoor ceremony locations. By the end of it we were sad to say goodbye to him, he truly was so wonderful and such a pleasure to work with. He made our ceremony extra special. September 2021

We could not have survived our COVID wedding without Laurence McKenna’s guidance. He was communicative, kind and informative; he met us with knowledge and humour every step of the way. He worked with our ever-changing schedules, provided us with a personalized wedding script, accommodated changes and edits, and — we kid you not — even *invented* a unique Blessing of the Hands speech & learned to tie our Handfasting cord, just to further incorporate our specific cultural traditions into the ceremony. Our family (both Canadian, and those visiting from Ireland) were in awe of how professionally & seamlessly he lead our ceremony. We could not have asked for a better experience! If you are planning a wedding, you need Laurence. Full stop. He’s your guy. October 2021

Laurence McKenna met and surpassed our expectations. He was so easy to work with, he was flexible, considerate and made our day perfect. The ceremony was all about us and truly wouldn’t have been the same without his special touch and creative ideas. David & Daniela May 2021

We had the privilege of having Laurence as the officiant on our wedding day. He exceeded our expectations from the very beginning. He was extremely organized and prepared throughout the whole process. He helped us a great deal to organize the ceremony to the way we wanted it. He would give us options for different parts throughout the ceremony and would help us in our discussions to decide what we wanted to do. During the ceremony he was extremely personable, funny, and compassionate. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful the ceremony was and how great Laurence was at leading it. We would highly recommend Laurence as your officiant for your wedding day! Traynor & Nicole September 2020
