Tess Porter was absolutely amazing. I would recommend her to everyone I know, she made us feel so at ease. We are beyond happy we found her to be a part of our very special day. Such a sweet soul and just simply perfect for our wedding. As soon as we met her we knew right away she was the perfect fit for us. Can't thank her enough! Dakota & Trevor August 2021

I don’t even know where to begin. We first met Tess when she officiated our close friends wedding about a year ago & right then and there my wife and I knew we wanted Tess to have her boisterous and loving energy officiate our wedding. Before our wedding date Tess came over and helped us feel at ease about our wedding date and just helping reinforce the message that it is our day and that we will enjoy. I am so glad we invited Tess to be a part of our special day and I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for an amazing officiant. Thank you so much for everything Tess. Holly & Yoftahe September 2021

Tess Porter was an amazing officiant. She was very patient with us when we had our discussions leading up to our special day. She gave excellent suggestions of things to remember during the ceremony.

She brought such a positive and special experience for our very special day. Thank you Tess! We could not be happier. Jean-Pierre & Caroline July 2021

We were absolutely delighted to have Tess Porter as our wedding officiant. She made us feel relaxed and comfortable, every step of the way, in her caring and capable hands. Tess embodies all that the ceremony and blessings that our marriage ceremony represented. The beautifully chosen words and warm manner were a perfect fit for the occasion.

There is no doubt that this is her 'calling'.

We contacted All Seasons based on several recommendations from friends in Ottawa -- we were very happy with the responsiveness from the manager (Daniel), who helped us figure out who would be best suited to officiate our wedding. Tess Porter was our officiant and we couldn't have had a better experience! Tess was responsive, professional, and happy to work with us to help us achieve the best possible ceremony for our family. We are grateful to both All Seasons as well as Tess for making our vision a reality. Svetlana & Fabrice June 2020

I don't think I've ever met a lovelier person! We found Tess Porter from being referred to the All Seasons website. We went through and read reviews like I'm sure you're doing right now. The glowing reviews about Tess are true and more. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is stressful enough, but Tess made the experience so calming. She was easy to get a hold of whether it was through an email or a phone call. She was able to keep up with our evolving wedding plans due to the Ontario lockdown. She was wonderful during our ceremony. Both our families commented on how great she was after the wedding. Helped make our wedding a day we will never forget! Stop scrolling and choose Tess! Thank you so much Tess -- Alix & Andrew December 2020

Tess Porter was lovely and provided us with all the resources we didn't know we needed for the ceremony! It was a wonderful afternoon and I would recommend her as an officiant. Angus & Sarah November 2020

Tess Porter did a wonderful job performing as our officiant. She took the time to meet with me beforehand, was prompt in her email replies, and is an excellent speaker. Her playful approach to the ceremony allowed us to laugh off any anxious feelings and to enjoy ourselves fully in the experience. Thank you Tess, we were so happy to share the day with you! Andrew & Victoria September 2020

Working with Tess Porter was nothing short of amazing, she captured perfectly what my wife and I wanted for our wedding.

Tess Porter is amazing! I knew from the moment we met, that she would be the perfect person to marry us. She has a friendly smile and super positive energy.

Tess Porter was fantastic! She made our day special and everyone commented on how beautifully she spoke and what a lovely voice she has. Our wedding ceremony was fun, had our personal touches and we loved it. Andy & Katherine October 2019

Tess Porter was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She allowed us to make the ceremony our own but also helped guide us when needed. She had many great ideas when we had to make decisions about areas that were so new to us which helped put our minds at ease. We had never heard of a wine box ceremony prior to meeting with her and I am so glad we added that as part of our day. We wanted a ceremony and celebration that was light hearted, full of love and laughter which is exactly what she helped to ensure we had. All of our guests were very impressed with the ceremony also, we had nothing but great feedback. It was very evident that she has a true passion for what she does and I am so grateful that she was part of our special day! Alain & Aubrey September 2019

Tess Porter far exceeded our expectations; both in our communication leading up to the wedding and while leading our ceremony. Overall, she was incredibly warm, friendly, organized and communicative. Her examples were beautifully written and we found we actually didn't find ourselves wanting to make many changes. Tess was an attentive listener, she understood and responded to our needs, and she made an effort to go out of her way and make us feel comfortable before and during our wedding. We are SO happy Tess stood with us. Chris & Melissa November 2019

Tess Porter was an exceptional officiant. The number one trait that stands out with her is her professionalism. She was early to every meeting, was always dressed sharply and fully prepared with documentation and information. She coached us through the process of selecting/ creating a ceremony and the legal framework and deadlines around it. On the wedding day, she looked fantastic and were felt proud to have her stand at the altar with us and be in all of our ceremony photos. She preformed a beautiful and engaging ceremony. Our guests and family really liked her. I would one million percent recommend Tess. Mike & Allison August 2019

Tess Porter is truly an amazing individual and is perfect as a wedding officiant. Tess took the time to meet with us a few weeks before hand and walked us through everything. She painted a perfect picture of what to expect, provided some great ideas, and listened to the ideas we had. Tess is passionate about making people happy and about making your wedding day special. Everyone I spoke to told me that the ceremony was the best they had ever seen and I believe Tess is largely responsible for that! Tess put my wife and I at ease and walked us right through everything. She is a very confident yet passionate individual and these traits serve her well. Thank you for everything. *Photograph By Nicole Amanda Photography., Justin & Katie August 2019

Tess Porter was the perfect person, soul, and energy for our love. We couldn't have been more blessed to have her to celebrate this very important moment in our lives. From the first meeting to the weekend before, to the day of - Tess gave us more than enough support to plan the perfect day. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about her especially given the emotions of our special day (pop up surprise wedding). We are so lucky to have met her and shared this moment with her. Harley & Keisha March 2019

Tess Porter was an excellent officiant and we enjoyed working with her throughout the whole process - we received many compliments from wedding guests on her officiating! She was flexible and understandable with us, encouraged us to craft a ceremony that was not too standard and very tailored to who we are and to what we wanted our wedding to represent. She was also very easy to work with, even from overseas - we didn't arrive into Ottawa until 6 days before our wedding, but we never felt like the distance hindered us working with her in any way. We would wholeheartedly recommend Tess to anyone looking for a kind, flexible and caring officiant.
