Peter Yerdon

Born and raised in Brockville, Peter has spent much of his life in the service of others. He and his wife raised their three daughters in this community and are proud grandparents of one granddaughter (so far!). Peter began his career as a trained Chef and, after catering over 200 weddings, he intuitively knows those little details that it takes to please a bride and groom on their big day. Performing ceremonies brings him joy. You won’t find a more conscientious, emotionally invested person than Peter. His biggest fault is not being able to say ‘no’. As a former member of the Kinsmen Club he received his Life Time Achievement Award. He has a great interest in the theatre, both musical, dramatically as well as improvisational and, as such, has a flair for adventure. Peter is an Appointed Designated Minister in Clergy Support Memorial and he looks forward to helping you make your wedding memorable.

Peter Yerdon is an amazing person. He was willing to do our wedding in a long term care home where my mom lives. He was part in giving all the residents in the home a wonderful day to celebrate. Peter made us so comfortable in the first meeting and we felt like friends on the wedding day. Thank you Peter it was day we will never forget. February 2023

Peter Yerdon was absolutely wonderful to work with, and a key part of ensuring our big day was a smooth success! Peter is compassionate, patient and humorous. He went above and beyond for us, and without a single complaint that we were having a chilly outdoor winter ceremony! We will happily recommend him to every soon-to-be Mr & Mrs we know! Thank you again Peter for our lovely ceremony! March 2022

I highly recommend Peter Yerdon as your wedding officiant. We were so impressed with his friendly and humorous demeanor. Peter is so accommodating and willing to work with you to make your day special, exactly as you wanted. We are a senior couple, getting married for the second time and our day was made so special and exactly as we had hoped because of Peter. I was fortunate to find Peter through social media a year previous when I saw that a man had transformed his backyard into a wedding chapel for couples who had to have small ceremonies due to Covid. I said then if I ever got married this is the person I would want to marry us and we are so glad we did. December 2021

Peter Yerdon was really great and surpassed my expectations, he knew how nervous we were as we approached the big day and made sure to keep things easy and simple. He made the whole process painless and during the ceremony he even personalized it to include our children and his remembrance of us in high school! I would highly recommend not only this company but specifically Peter! Thank you Peter! James & Haley August 2019

I am very pleased to provide my recommendation for Peter Yerdon. Peter was the officiant at my wedding at the end of June. Peter is prepared, efficient and extremely professional. Peter ensures in his preparation that the bride and groom have input to their exchange of their vows and the flow of their day. He provides his personal touch that makes everyone relax and enjoy the couple's day. Adam & Kimberley June 2019
