Wedding Officiants Enduring Promises | Ottawa & Gatineau

Jim is an amazing officiant! We needed to book a new officiant 1 month before our wedding and he was there for us every step of the way. Jim helped us come up with ideas to create our own unique ceremony, and with the aid of the Enduring Promises website, we were able to write out exactly how we wanted our ceremony to go. Jim's sense of humour kept an easy flow and gave lighthearted laughs throughout. Not your typical boring wedding. We would definitely recommend Jim and Enduring Promises to anyone.To Jim we are forever grateful.Much love to you and yours,Jon & Jen

Rinette Emerson - WOW i can’t say enough amazing things about Rinette - she completely stood out to our guests and they all loved our ceremony it was emotional, funny, and personal. Guests were crying emotional tears and then brought back up by humour they were never zoning out because they were excited to hear what was coming next. She will work with you to build your perfect ceremony. She is absolutely incredible, I would choose her and recommend her everytime. Thank you Rinette!

We had an AMAZING experience with Melissa as our officiant. She was always available to answer all of our questions and help us out in any way she could. The Enduring Promises website makes it so easy to develop a ceremony - it provides guidance on different sections and gives many templates but also provides flexibility to make any and all customizations you want. Melissa then reviewed the ceremony for us and provided suggestions to help the flow. On the day of, she did a fantastic job at delivering the ceremony. We got many comments from guests after about how amazing she was and how well she spoke. We 1000% recommend Melissa!-Brendan and Jenna

Dear Jim and Enduring Promises,You were absolutely amazing!Until we met with you for the first time to go through our ceremony steps, we had no idea how important it was to have your guidance. In our minds, we were going to repeat some words, and would be done with our ceremony.... However, you made us realize that there are so many tiny seconds of important moments throughout our ceremony!! We actually started to panic about it once we realized it's one of the most important parts of our wedding, and we could not have done it without you.You made it so easy and efficient. You gave us so many amazing suggestions, and you were so prompt at responding to our online correspondence. You even researched about our cultural backgrounds and came up with recommendations! That is the perfect example of GOING BEYOND!Jim you were perfectly professional and restrict at the same time during our rehearsal. People were too excited and were not listening, however, you made sure everyone knew what they were supposed to do, and because of that our ceremony was PERFECT! It really went perfectly. So thank you thank you thank you so much!! We were extremely glad that we chose your services and we highly recommend you to anyone we know!<3Maral & Adrian

I don't even know where to begin with how extremely happy my husband and i were with Jim Emersons extreme attention to detail. He gave us some of the most memorable ideas for our wedding that made our day extra special. He is a master at helping you design a ceremony that is nothing less than perfect and second to none at making sure your stance, dress, bouquet and every single detail is in the perfect spot to get the best pictures. He also has the best sense of humour and truly made our day become the best wedding we could of asked for. Thank you so much!

Jim was an excellent Officiant! We were blown away by his passion during our first meeting with him. He not only gave us amazing ideas for our ceremony but for our whole wedding! You can tell he genuinely cares about each wedding. Jim was firm and helpful with everyone in our wedding party, in order to make our ceremony perfect!The online ceremony console was excellent for creating our ceremony. It allowed us to pick every word that was said at our ceremony, so personal! We could also reach Jim at anytime and he was extremely responsive and quick at getting back to us!Enduring Promises is a great company and they have a great system. The only thing that would have made our experience better would have to be with the rehearsal. Unfortunately, we did not pay to have this done with Jim and I think it would have been very beneficial, however the price is a little much for one hour. (Everywhere charges around the same).

We recently got married and Jim Emerson officiated for us. He was amazing from start to finish. I had met him at the Wedding Show in Ottawa and he was very nice and answered all of my questions. One thing that he said has stuck with me, your wedding is personal

We had the best experience with our officiant Ryan from Enduring Promises! He was so calm, collected and kind. Ryan took all of the stress of the ceremony right out of our hands! When we had to last minute postpone our wedding, Ryan was so generous and understanding, as well as accommodating. We would 1000% highly recommend Ryan Dawson, and Enduring Promises

Our wedding ceremony was completely perfect with Jim as our officiant. He gave us suggestions along the way saying we could use or reject anything, most of which we used because they were so good. Using the website ceremony planner really gave us complete control over every word that was said, every reading, the entire flow. The ceremony fit us and our personalities so well, it was exactly what we wanted for the most important day of our lives. We got countless compliments from our guests about how personal and touching it was, several saying it was the best ceremony they had attended. Jim made us feel so comfortable, so at ease, and it showed to all our friends and family.
