We were so glad to have Ray as a part of our special day. He was definitely a calming and knowledgeable presence throughout the entire planning process. He crafted a ceremony to reflect our relationship, and added many personal touches. Anyone can tell he loves what he does, and truly believes in marriage. I highly recommend him!

to officiate our wedding with great professionalism. I will recommend his services to anyone.
GUEST




Would highly recommend our officiant. He really listened to what we wanted and was very flexible to our date which we changed a couple of times and also we didn't have a place of marriage until 2 weeks before the date. But our officiant was very patient with us:)

GUEST




Rev. Ray Cross was very helpful and quick to respond to any of our questions. The service he picked for us was beautiful and fit us perfectly.
GUEST




Absolutely wonderful!!! Extremely prompt with replies, our ceremony was more than we could've asked for, and completely personalized to us. After just a short email correspondence, it felt as if we were being married by an old family friend. Very effortless speaker who instantly makes you feel comfortable in his presence. Excellent value for money, I would not change a single thing about our ceremony. It was perfect!! Also, he has a wall made of lava you can say your vows in front of, which came out absolutely gorgeous in photos! Would (and already have) recommend him to anyone looking for someone both extremely professional and warm and inviting to officiate!

For myself and my husband this service by Rev Ray Cross was absolutely perfect. We are not people who thrive on being the center of attention and yet we had a very memorable and intimate wedding. Many of our friends wish that they too had chosen the route that we did for their special day. It was quiet but did not have the institutional atmosphere that would have been at city hall. We can not thank Rev Ray Cross enough for making our day special and making us comfortable.

About Brides Choice Officiant
Ray was born in Toronto. Due to the troubled nature of his family life, which led to the divorce of his parents, Ray attended five public schools and two high schools.
His early education was in a one-room schoolhouse in Rural Whitby.
One of Ray’s favourite activities during his youth was exploring the country roads, meadows, forests and streams of rural Whitby, and fishing wherever and whenever he could. Teen years were spent in Whitby and Oshawa, with college years spent in Toronto and Peterborough. During his college years Ray worked in a factory, built cottages, shingled roofs, stripped wallpaper, painted rooms and houses, performed high ladder sign maintenance and shopping centre relamping and was a Maintenance Manager for a summer camp. Ray isn’t inclined to make things but he has a reputation in the family as one who can fix almost anything.
Ray pastored Baptist churches in Peterborough, Trenton, Port Hope, Oshawa and Scarborough for more than thirty years.
Ray has been happily married to Diane, a teacher, for more than forty years. They have two married children (an actress and a computer software developed) and two grandchildren. If you see Ray and Diane about town, you will find them walking hand-in-hand. They pump weights and walk for their health. They love to travel. A natural extension of this love of travel and delight in white sandy beaches is Ray’s recent excursion into cruise chaplaincy.
Since retiring from pastoring Ray has applied his buoyant personality and extensive training and resources to providing highest quality wedding officiating to couples by means of his extensive website, wise personal counsel and radiant, calming stage presence. For Ray there is no substitute for highest quality and care. Weddings ought to ignite a marriage in the sweetest and most memorable manner. This is the earnest aspiration and artistry that Ray applies to weddings – to your wedding.
