Jim Giles our officiant was there when we needed him, and knew not to bombard us with communications when we were running up to the final weeks. His easy, calm and professional manner really helped bring the ceremony together (and he prompted us without skipping a beat when we didn't remember to reply to the affirmation!).
Enduring Promises' website was super helpful in crafting a personalised intimate ceremony that all of our friends & family were very impressed by. Dealing with them was also easy, speedy and very efficient. As we were planning this from another country, they accommodated our request for Interac e-transfer payments.
All in all, they turned it up to eleven! :) Thanks again!

Jim was amazing to work with. As our officiant, he exceeded our expectations, making the whole process easy for us and fun. He helped us feel quite relaxed and really made for a smooth ceremony on the big day. The ceremony console was very helpful in terms of organizing our thoughts and laying everything out into a finished product. In summary, Jim was awesome. I would highly recommend him without any reservations.
GUEST




Jim did an amazing job with our ceremony, he was the first officiant we met and we hired him on the spot. The online resources that enduring promises provides are excellent, with a million things on the go with planning a wedding it really helped us. We could not organize a rehearsal as we had a majority of the wedding party coming in from out of town and with a few minutes Jim took full control and guided everyone. Our ceremony went so smoothly and we were so happy (as you will see from the pictures). Jim calmed our nerves by speaking to us through the whole thing, it really helped!!! Thank Jim, you made out special day perfect and unforgettable.

Hi Monika and Suhan
It was a great day at Glencairn! You both looked fabulous, the weatherman cooperated and from the feedback I received, your guests thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your ceremony.
Your photos are wonderful - David really captured the joy and beauty of your day.
I wish you continued happiness as you now begin married life. ~ Jim
GUEST




Jim was amazing from day one. He met us at a convenient location to discuss the possibility of using him for our ceremony, no obligations and no pressure. We knew from that night we met him, that he would be perfect for our special day, and we were spot on. Jim was beyond our expectations in every aspect of the ceremony. We had the rehearsal with him to practice the ceremony, and it was well worth the little bit extra to ensure everything runs smooth. The rehearsal really does reduce the stress the day of (and there is enough of that, trust us) so we would recommend that to everyone.
The ceremony console was one of the easiest things to use, and allowed us to completely customize our ceremony. Jim was there every step of the way, and had suggestions/comments that only enhanced the results. In the end, everything said was completely up to us, and therefore was a completely unique wedding.
All in all, Enduring Promises is an exceptional company to work with. They respond very quickly to any questions, and even send out reminders with little comments to settle any nerves that might be building up. They are more than just another Officiant service, they are THE Officiant service to use if you want guaranteed results on your wedding day!
Thanks again Jim, you were an amazing part of our special day, if we could give you more than 5/5 we would!

Rinette Emerson was recommended by a friend and we used her as our officiant. She was AMAZING. Calm, funny, and reassuring, she had lots of good wedding-related advice to share and made us feel very at ease (during the very hectic wedding-planning process!)
Enduring Promises has a website that helps you organize your ceremony and suggests different wordings and readings. It was quite easy to use.
A few of our guests commented on how great Rinette was (one said she was the best officiant he'd seen perform a wedding). I would most definitely recommend her to any friends looking for an officiant (thanks, Rinette!!!)
Vendor response to review
It was truly a privilege and a pleasure to officiate your ceremony!
You created a very unique and memorable ceremony for your guests, and like me, I am sure they are have fond memories of your Special Day. The day may have been cold, but your love for each other and the love your guests felt for you warmed up the day! (Oh, and may I say, I loved the shoes!)
May I again wish you only the very best, Rinette
GUEST




We could not have asked for a better person to officiate our wedding than Jim. Not only did Jim help us through our preparation for the ceremony, but he was a calming source during the ceremony. Jim helped us put together a beautiful, personal ceremony and he made sure things went smoothly so we, as a couple, didn't have to worry about a thing. Jim made our guests feel welcome and a part of the day and he was our guide through the ceremony when we surely weren't thinking straight in that moment. Our ceremony could not have been more perfect or been more enjoyable. When someone says to us "are you glad it's all over", our answer is a quick, "No, let's do it again!" and this really is because of the team we had leading us into a stress free, dream day.
Thank you Enduring Promises and Jim Emerson!

Hi Jennifer and David
Thank you for your extremely kind words. I thoroughly enjoyed how you included your cousins and other family members in your ceremony - it added so much to make it a "family celebration".
It was an honour and privilege to participate in your ceremony and I wish you much happiness and prosperity throughout your married life. ~ Jim
GUEST




Jim had done an exceptional job with our ceremony. His fun and pleasant demeanour had made the whole process very enjoyable for us and out guests have been commenting on how great the ceremony itself was. Jim allowed us to personalize our ceremony in almost every way possible, ensuring that it was specific to the two of us. The web site is easy to use and helps you decide how you want your ceremony to be presented. Jim and the rest of the staff Enduring promises made everything simple and we highly recommend them to anyone getting married in the future. Great job Jim!!!

We would like to highly recommend Jim Emerson from Enduring Promises. He did a great job on our wedding. I did not expect to plan everything that well in just two weeks before wedding ceremony. He was very professional, friendly and very helpfull with his responses. He made our special day so memorable for us and our families.
Thank You Jim!

Jim did an incredible job and helped make our day perfect. He arrived early, made sure all arrangements were ready for us. He spent time before the wedding walking us through the details and teaching us the proper way to walk down the isle, give away the bride, hold hands, exchange rings, etc...During the ceremony he was constantly providing us with positive comments and making us feel relaxed. He allowed extra time for photos during the ceremony and even recommended fantastic symbolic shots. He was very flexible and kept saying "this is your day" make it as simple or creative as you wish and he honoured all our requests. We never thought getting married would be so easy, Jim played a major role in that. Thank You Jim!

Hi Tandis and Matthew
Thank you for your encouraging and positive words. It was a great pleasure to play a small part in your wedding day celebration.

GUEST




Rinette was our officiant and she was absolutely fantastic. From the beginning she put us at ease and lead us through the ceremony planning process with such a kind confidence. She is truly passionate about her work and therefore her great personality was able to be seen by not only ourselves, but our guests who loved her.
The ceremony console was very easy to use. Due to its clean and simple design and numerous suggestions, we were able to mix and match our vows and add readings from within the site but also have the freedom to add our own. After an entire year of wedding planning and preparations, it was refreshing to have such an easy ceremony planning experience.
We feel as though we can't say enough good things about Enduring Promises. They truly did a terrific job and I couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Rinette was always just a phone call or email away and often times replied to us within minutes. She gave suggestions when and where appropriate as we were planning our ceremony but more importantly understand that each ceremony should be unique because no two couples are the same.
We will definitely be recommending Rinette and Enduring Promises to future bride and grooms. Everyone deserves to have the experience we did with such a fantastic company, who cares not only about officiating on the wedding day, but helping you along your marriage journal as well.

You were a wonderful couple to work with, your personalities shone through and your love for one another trumped all! Your ceremony was beautiful and I am sure everyone LOVED your homemade wedding cake!

GUEST




Our officiant - Jim Emerson, from the day we met him in person, to the day of the wedding, was very professional and helpful in assisting us in creating and personalizing our ceremony. I appreciated the fact that Jim was either a text message, email or phone call away. That definitely made us very confident in Jim being our officiant.
Enduring Promises as a company was very helpful as well. The "behind the scenes" people brought Jim and us together. We really appreciated the "wedding ceremony" console on their website. That made it almost effortless in creating our ceremony.
On the day of the wedding Jim really worked with us and our wedding ceremony participants and really helped all of us feel at ease. The ceremony was, indeed, special.
I would definitely recommend Enduring Promises to anyone thinking of wanting to make their wedding ceremony unique and memorable.

GUEST




We met Jim at a Wedding show at the beginning of 2012 and we just had a good feeling about him. He was very personable. We met up for a coffee to decide if we wanted to book and there was no question about it. We loved the idea of creating your own personal ceremony on the website. Jim was always there to answer any questions we had and we would definitely recommend Enduring Promises and Jim to anyone and everyone who wants to be involved in the creation of their wedding ceremony!

Enduring Promises, and Jim specifically, made the planning and overall experience of our wedding wonderful. From the moment we met him we knew that he was the right officiant for our special day. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and encouraged us to use their website as well as our own ideas to help make our ceremony unique and special for us. Jim exceeded our expectations in the planning, coordinating, and execution of our ceremony. We would definately recommend him to other couples.
Thank you so much Jim!!! You were a big part of our weddings success and a memorable part and person on one of the most special days of our life.
Thank you again for everything. : )

Jim Emerson was our officiant, and we had a wonderful experience with him. Enduring Promises responded very quickly to our initial enquiry, and despite the fact that we were on a tight schedule (3 weeks to our wedding!) Jim was able to meet with us and help us put together a lovely and personal ceremony. He gave us some great ideas for making it unique, and I received loads of feedback from my guests about how different and 'us' the ceremony was and how much they enjoyed it. He is very professional and made us feel very comfortable throughout the process.

Good morning Donghai.
Thank you for your words of encouragement - they are greatly appreciated.
It was a wonderful day of celebration at Hart House and the group photo of all your guests on the main stairway brought back great memories of the day.
Who could have guested that after meeting one another in that very debating room, that you and Cynthia would be back there six years later to the very day, celebrating your wedding ceremony - truly an amazing day all round.
May I wish you continued happiness and prosperity throughout your married life. ~ Jim

From the moment we met Paul, he made us feel at ease. His relaxed but professional demeanor continuously rubbed off on not only us, but our families and wedding party as well. He and the online ceremony console were GREAT tools for helping write our own ceremony and vows. Paul and Enduring Promises were very easy to work with and worth every penny. They made sure that our wedding day was as stress-free as possible and helped make the day perfect!

Jim Emerson was our officiant for the wedding, and his wife Rinette stepped in to help carry out our rehearsal. We were extremely pleased with our experience, particularly with both Jim and Rinette. They were both extremely professional, engaging, knowledgeable, and quickly made us feel at ease throughout the process. A special thanks to Jim and Rinette for helping us create, prepare, and carry out the perfect wedding ceremony.

I had my wedding on Feb 2nd. We contacted Enduring Promises to officiate our wedding. Enduring Promises married my sister back in May of 2012 and were very happy so we decided to contact them for our wedding. Although we had different officiants, we were so happy with who we had. We met with Richard Bristow. He was very flexible with where our first meeting was and made sure it was a convenient location for both of us. Richard was so friendly and so nice we knew right away we wanted to proceed. Richard responded promptly to my emails, questions and offered advice throughout the planning process. Enduring Promises has an online ceremony template that helped us so much with the flow of the ceremony. They offer ideas of how you may want your ceremony with examples of vows, readings, ceremony elements be it religious, non-religious etc. If you have your own vows or readings you can use them as well. They were definitely worth the value in terms of price as well. The day of the wedding Richard was very helpful, he offered some words of advice to me as well as spoke with my husband and wedding party before the ceremony took place. Richards' wife also happened to be there and she was very kind and helpful as well. I have already referred a friend that is getting married next year to Enduring Promises and highly recommend them to anyone that is planning their wedding.

Wow!!! Thank you Carolyn and Carl for your encouraging and very positive words. It was indeed my pleasure to officiate your wedding ceremony and to be part of your celebration.
I know it was cold during your outdoor photo shoot, but inside the banquet hall, your family and guests were warm, friendly, eager to support and celebrate the love you have for each other. My wife, who does not usually attend many of my weddings, was thrilled to be able to play a small part in helping out and offering her support.
I trust you will continue to enjoy your life’s journey together as husband and wife. Thank you once again for inviting us to participate in your Special Day. ~ Richard

We had the pleasure of working with Jim Emerson and we could not have asked for a better person. He was absolutely incredible, as soon as we met him we knew that he was everything we wanted. He was extremely easy to work with and was always quick to answer any questions and give advice when needed. So many people came up to us after the ceremony telling us how amazing Jim was and we couldn't agree more.
The ceremony template was so easy to work with and was extremely helpful allowing us to personalize our ceremony to our liking.
Overall enduring promises as a company were very prompt in their responses and extremely easy to work with.
Thank you again Jim for helping make our ceremony...

Our officiant, Jim Emerson, guided us through the process at the initial meeting and was very attentive to our needs. He was always available to discuss the details and provide feedback, and made us feel very comfortable overall. The ceremony itself was quite and peaceful, just like we wanted it to be. His wife also helped us out when we had trouble playing music and kindly offered her phone to replace our iPod. We are very pleased with Enduring Promises.

Our officiant was Richard Bristow and we found him through enduring promises. The company was very helpful and kind to ensure that we found the officiant that fit both of our needs and styles.
Richard was simply wonderful, and the best officiant we have come across when searching. We were both very comfortable with him the first time we met him, and felt that throughout the process of constructing our ceremony, we bonded with him. Richard exceeded our expectations of what an officiant was and fulfilled his role and responsibilities gracefully.
His emails and phone calls provided constant support throughout the days leading up to our big day and on our wedding day, he was just as supportive;)
The ceremony template was very easy to use and extremely helpful as it is a very good tool for those who have no idea how a ceremony should be organized.
The examples of the readings and responses provided that you could choose from was definitely helpful as we pulled from different readings and responses to make our ceremony personal and customized it to what we thought was us.
Enduring promises as a company were definitely prompt and helpful in their response. We spoke to a person about booking an officiant and they provided us with the officiant's name and contact info. less than an hour later.
We highly recommend enduring promises and Richard Bristow!

We are extremely happy that we chose Enduring Promises and Jim Emerson as our wedding officiant.
Jim was very informative and provided us valuable advice throughout our journey. He was available through email and telephone consultation and any inquiries we had were answered within the one day.

We would definitely recommend Enduring promises to our friends, family, and anyone looking for a great wedding officiant!

Hi Emily,
Thank you - not only for your kind words, but also for the opportunity to celebrate with you and Graham on your wedding day.

GUEST




Our officiant Mike from Enduring Promises was absolutely amazing. We have received nothing but positive feedback about our wedding ceremony and everyone loved the winebox idea. Thank you for reccomending it. We felt that you had a great presence and really made it an enjoyable experiance for everyone. You guided us through the ceremony very smoothly and you surpassed both of our expectations. I wish I could relive it all over again.
The template was easy to use and made everything so easy to put together. Because we have never been married before, we didn't really know the flow of a ceremony or how any of it was supposed to work. The ceremony template made it easy to visualize what was actually going to happen, which helps a lot when planning a wedding.
Enduring Promises is great! I will recommend them to anyone that is planning a wedding and is in need of an officiant.
Thanks for being there Mike and thank you for making our day that much more special.

Jim Emerson was absolutely phenominal. He guided us through the process of getting married and maintained humour but also order throughout the entire planning stages as well as on our big day. He was always just a call or email away to answer all of our questions and we felt instantly comfortable with him.

Rinette was outstanding! We couldn't of asked for a more warm, caring, organized and friendly officiant. She truly felt like family from the moment we first met. I especially like how she came to visit me in my bridal suite before the ceremony to check to see how I was doing, such a thoughtful gesture! We got numerous comments from our guests saying that ours was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended. They couldn't get over how uniquely personal it was, which is all due to the vast selection of ceremony template options that the Enduring Promises website offered. They have something for everyone, from modern to traditional. It was so easy to use and all of the readings etc. were much better than anything we could of ever come up with on our own. I would highly recommend Enduring Promises to any couple getting married.
Vendor response to review
Wow! What a wonderful review! Thank you!

Jim was amazing. He made our ceremony feel light and comfortable, creating the perfect balance of fun and seriousness. He was attentive and helpful with the entire creating the ceremony process, as well as the rehersal and the wedding itself. He is very easygoing and has a great sense of humor, and really made our wedding perfect.
The ceremony template that Enduring Promises provides is extremely easy to use and gives enough options for each part of the ceremony that you can truly make it your own. We felt that we had a totally custom built ceremony, and many of our friends and family really enjoyed the personal touches woven into it.
Working with Enduring Promises was easy, as they are efficient and quick to respond to any request. We highly recommend Enduing Promises, and most importantly Jim, to facilitate and officiate the most important part of your wedding day.

I would be remiss if I didn't comment on how well your ring bearer did - Henry was one of the best behaved ring bearers - two legged or four - that I have had the pleasure to work with! - Jim
GUEST




Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made things easy, and fluid. We didn't have to memorize anything, and he immediately removed any anxiety we had. Jim was serious in times he needed to be, but kept things light and humorous when appropriate, which we truly enjoyed. Jim prepared us for everything from photos of the rings before the ceremony, to setting up our cues for entrances and music, to positioning the photographer for photos during and after the ceremony. Jim was delightful throughout the ceremony, very easy to work with, very pleasant. We had three days of celebration after the official ceremony conducted by Enduring Promises, and I must say, the ceremony with Enduring Promises was my favorite, simply because of how easy Jim made things. In the end, Jim even gave us tips on how to show our wedding certificate when we go on our honeymoon so that we can get discounts for when we travel in our first year of marriage. We sincerely thank you for your help.
Enduring promises was easy to work with. Very prompt in their responses, and once they had all the information from us it was a simple process. It really felt like we had no work to do, which was a relief. Any questions we had were quickly answered, and there were no worries leading up to and during the ceremony.

Jim Emerson from Enduring Promises officiated our wedding ceremony and did a fantastic job! We were very pleased with his services, his attention to detail, his suggestions, his quick responses to our questions, his friendly attitude and his sense of humour. we couldn't have expected anything more.
The serviced offered to help us develop our personalized wedding ceremony was perfect for us. We didn't know much about creating the ceremony and it walked us through the steps every second of the way. It incorporated things that we never would have thought of.
We are so grateful for Enduring Promises and specificallly Jim for making our special day the best it could be!

Kip Philip at Enduring Promises WAS AMAZING!
Kip was so easy to deal with and was amazing the day of the wedding.
The company has a great template to build your ceremony and we had rave reviews about how it was the best ceremony people have been too.
Kip was easy to get a hold of, always on time and was very professional.

Finding an officiant was, I think, the most difficult task in planning our wedding. Anyone we contacted was either booked for our wedding date, booked for our ceremony time or simply did not reply to our enquiries. We found Enduring Promises through a general internet search.
When we first met with our Officiant, Rinette, we felt she was clear, concise and confident. She shared ideas about what, in her experience, worked well in other ceremonies. At the end of our meeting, Rinette was respectful in offering us time to think about this decision, but we were decided.
Having a small wedding party, we did not have a ceremony rehearsal. We were confident that Rinette could take on the responsibility of letting everyone know the flow of the ceremony, where to be and when to be there; from groom & groomsmen, bride & bridesmaids to the readers, the ceremony was seamless - I didn't even notice Rinette signaling to the readers to take their place - the ceremony was perfect!
Enduring Promises provides each couple with a login/password to their ceremony template. This made it SO easy to choose readings and vows but wasn't so strict that changes couldn't be made. This template made planning the ceremony enjoyable!
Enduring Promises was a breeze to work with, always responding in a prompt manner and helpful in comments and suggestions.
Many guests that attended the ceremony commented on how lovely it was.
I would 100% recommend this vendor to other couples.

Also, he made it super easy for us by promting our responses and guiding us during the entire ceremony.

We got married in a small ceremony in a backyard with just our close friends and family members. Ron did an incredible job with everything, from helping us plan the structure of the ceremony to reviewing the vows with us and making sure we were 100% comfortable with everything. Thanks Enduring Promises, and thanks especially to Ron. We can't say enough good things. Highly recommended!

We chose Enduring Promises after seeing Mike officiate our friends wedding, and we definitely weren't disappointed! Mike is professional, punctual, and most importantly made the ceremony fun. The whole process was easy and very customizable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mike and Enduring Promises to anyone planning their big day.

Dear Kira and Jakub. Thank you very much for the opportunity and privilege to serve you and celebrate with you on your wedding day. It was a memorable day, despite the high winds and noisy individual who decided to tee off right in the middle of your vows. LOL. May the years of marriage ahead of you be full of love, joy and blessings. ~Mike
GUEST




Mike had been recommended to us by friends that used him to officiate their wedding. From the moment we saw Mike perform, we knew that he was the perfect officiant for us. Mike made the process easy, fun, seemless and stress free. We had originally been quite nervous about how to approach the ceremony process, but Mike answered any question we may have had and provided us with the perfect ceremony. It was fun, romantic and personal. We could not have been more happy!
GUEST




We had Paul Hilsden officiate our wedding and he was fantastic! Enduring Promises offers an easy way to put together a ceremony that truly reflects you as a couple, with a wide range of suggested readings, opening words, vows, etc. You can also add in any of your own choices if they are not listed. While this program made the planning easy, Paul was also great to work with, he was very responsive and friendly throughout. At our rehearsal he was a hit, helping to organize our wedding party while keeping things fun and light. We felt very prepared for our wedding day, where he officiated our ceremony with warmth and professionalism.
Vendor response to review

Our Wedding officiant was Rinete Emerson, and we could not have asked for a better one.
She was very helpful and patiently guided us through the whole process before the ceremony.
On the day of, the first time we met her, she was very friendly and immediately put us at ease with her sense of humor and warmth.
Even our married friends at the ceremony wished they had her as their officiant.
We would definitely recommend Enduring Promises to everyone.

Although it is not the norm not to meet couples before their wedding celebration, I felt like I knew you by the time I got to your home for your ceremony! It was such a beautiful and intimate gathering!
My wish for yourselves is that your love for each other continues to grow and flourish! All the very best.
GUEST




Our wedding officiant, Jim Emerson, exceeded our expectations at every turn. Not only were he and the Enduring Promises team helpful and responsive to every question leading up to our wedding, but Jim wore many hats during both the rehearsal and ceremony. He was a coach, referee, maestro, and friend. He put us at ease and kept us organized, and his charming demeanor and kind outlook on life made our guests feel like they were indeed bearing witness to something special. Additionally, the Enduring Promises online ceremony template was incredibly helpful - it guided each step we needed to consider in preparing for our big day. I highly recommend both Jim and Enduring Promises to any couple who are considering this monumental step in their relationship.

Hi Mike and Keeley - your wedding ceremony on the rooftop in downtown Toronto on a fabulous September afternoon was a great time of celebration.

Working with Enduring Promises as a company was a great experience and we would definitely recommend the company to our friends and family. The value for their service is a great pro as well. In the beginning stages, it was nice to meet our officiant and chat about the ceremony and officiant responsibilities. She was always there to answer our questions or concerns and was so amazing at the venue when we did our run through of the ceremony. Everyone left knowing what to do. On the day of our wedding, our officiant kept us calm before the ceremony as well as during it! The ceremony is something I will cherish forever and she was such a great part of it.

GUEST




Jim did a fabulous job, and we really appreciated all the help he was able to give us while we developed the ceremony. The website has a fantastic guide to building the ceremony, and we had a lot of online consultation with our officiant in the weeks leading up to the big day. When we got to the actual wedding day, we had 2 unforeseen events: the bride forgot the marriage licence, and a close family member fell and had to be carted off in the ambulance. Jim kept everything on course, and then met with us the following day to do a properly legal ceremony. We are very grateful for Enduring Promises' professionalism and flexibility.

Great professional service. Kip was a fantastic Officiant, and he made sure he tokk care of us. We had a many positive comments about Kip... thanks!

Our wedding day was perfect! We can’t Mr. Jim Emerson enough! We’re immensely grateful for his expertise in helping us arrange the ceremony we envisioned along with his poise and humour on the day! Jim's arrangement of our procession and attention to detail made our day wonderfully memorable for us and our guests.
The ceremony template provided by the Enduring Promises website was ideal. Despite the distance between us the website gave us common material to work with on our separate schedules.

We could not have hired a better service for our wedding officiant. Jim Emerson did an excellant job for us. When we started to plan our wedding we really wanted to create a ceremony that was personal and reflected us as a couple. The Enduring Promises template allowed us to do this we relative ease. Our officiant was always available to go over our ceremony with us and help to make changes. Jim did an excellant job with our rehearsal dinner, giving us, our bridal party and parents excellant tips for the big day. On our wedding day we received alot of great feedback from our friends and family about what a professional job Jim did. I would recommend both Jim and Enduring Promises to anyone who wants to create a personalized meaningful wedding ceremony

Rinette Emerson was phenomenal as our officiant and ceremony planning guide. Right from the first moment that we met her she was warm, friendly and very compassionate about her job. She had many fantastic ideas and our ceremony was by far the best part of our wedding. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and our officiant. She made everyone feel welcome and brought all these strangers together. She guided us through the whole ceremony. Our wedding was unforgettable for not only us but our guests because of her help.
We found the online template very helpful and we were able to design our ceremony at our pace and get feedback from Rinette in a very timely manner whenever we needed it. Even the company was very prompt in getting us set up with an officiant quickly and without confusion.

Overall, an excellent experience with Enduring Promises Inc. We hired Mr. Bristow to be our wedding officiant and we were very pleased. He was very professional and had the perfect combination of both humour and sombreness which was perfect for our ceremony. The english accent also added a little extra. He certainly made our day memorable and special. The wedding ceremony template was very useful and easy to use. It made planning the ceremony extremely easy and stress-free. As a company, Enduring Promises was very good to deal with. They were very prompt and helpful in responding to all our questions and needs. I would certainly recommend their services, and Mr. Bristow as an officiant.

Being in the wedding industry we get to see a lot of different wedding vendors, both good and bad. Choosing Enduring Promises was an easy decision for us as we had seen them before at other weddings. Rinette was our officiant and she was exactly what we were looking for. She was very helpful from the time we booked, through the planning and the day of the wedding. Their online planning system was easy to use and very helpful in putting our ceremony together. We couldn't have picked a better officiant and highly recommend Enduring Promises to anyone!

Jim is absolutely amazing at what he does! He gives the best advice to make your ceremony memorable for both you and your guests. I didn't expect to get all the comments after the ceremony of people remarking at what a wonderful ceremony it was. The ceremony can be nerve wracking for you and your family and Jim is the best at getting everybody both calm and organized. He even takes the time after your vows to say great job guys. The online ceremony template is such a valuable tool. I don't know what we would have done without it! It gives you all the tools to create a beautiful and personalized ceremony and its easy to review with your officiant. Jim was quick to reply to any of our communication and he is a wonderful experienced professional. We were so happy to have him on our wedding day.

GUEST




Rinette was our officiant and she was fabulous! Right from the initial consultation meeting we felt comfortable with her and were very confident that we chose the right company and person to marry us.
Rinette was very sincere and did not make the ceremony feel like our guests were being "talked at". She was incredibly flexible in terms of scheduling our rehearsal and was very patient with us taking our time filling out the template. She became part of a secret mission which was a huge surprise singsong from the groom for the bride in the middle of the ceremony and not only did she keep the secret, she participated in the surprise.
The template is very helpful with planning the wedding ceremony and offers many wording options, readings etc. which you can, but are not limited to, choose from.
We would definitely recommend Enduring Promises to anyone considering using an officiant for their wedding ceremony. Rinette, especially, was absolutely outstanding and we have nothing but good things to say about her and we have great memories of our perfect ceremony that she effortlessly gave us.

The first time I heard Rinette on the phone, I know she was the One officiant that we can trust and rely on. From the minute I contact her, everything happens very fast, and well-organized. We met up with her and she walked us thru everything from A-Z, explained carefully about the service and tips for each steps. My first impression of her was her enthusiasm, warm-hearting and sincerity and last but not least, her beautiful smile and voice.
She closely follow up with us through emails and phone calls and continuously provide me as a busy bride so much help and answered to all my questions and concerns. The program templates on their website is very user-friendly.
And the most important day of my life came, Rinette showed up an hour early, to have a talk with me. She walked me through everything again, and she told me " at the end of the day, just relax and enjoy the moment". And I did. And truly she have helped my ceremony one of the most intimate, warm and romantic according ceremony, according to my family and guests.
There is nothing else that I can change about my wedding, and I'd like to thank Rinette again for saving so much stress preparing for this day as she was always there for me and my husband.

From start to finish, Enduring Promises made planning our ceremony easy. The ceremony template and sample passages offered through Enduring Promises were extremely helpful; we wouldn't have known where to begin had it not been for this. Enduring Promises matched us with a wonderful officiant, Jim Emerson, who did a fabulous job on the day of our wedding and also during the preparations. He cares very much about his role as officiant. He was extremely attentive during the planning of our ceremony and always provided prompt feedback. We were so pleased with our ceremony and how we were truly able to make it a reflection of who we are as a couple. We are happy to recommend both Jim and Enduring promises to any couple in search of a way to make their ceremony their own.

From the moment we met with Rinette we knew our wedding ceremony was going to be much easier to plan than we had originally thought. She was extremely helpful in walking us through the whole planning process. Using the website to build our ceremony was so simple and convenient. Any questions we did have for Rinette were answered within 24 hours. After we made changes to our ceremony and sent them off to her she responded right away with tips and suggestions. Rinette helped with giving our ceremony a personal feel that included our families, which was important to us. We have had so many compliments from family and friends, with some saying it was one of the best weddings they've been too!

We were extremely pleased with the services provided by Rinette and Paul of Enduring Promises. Rinette was our first point of contact who had taken the time to explain the documents we needed to prepare for our wedding, the time frames and details of the process. She was extremely responsive, and very detailed.
We were extremely pleased with the services provided by our Officiant, Paul Mittelstaedt of Enduring Promises. First and foremost, Paul is extremely helpful, kind, and genuine, and he made the process of preparing our ceremony seamless. Paul exceeded our expectations and he was responsive and available every step of the way by phone or email to answer any of our questions or requests for suggestions.
I am of Filipino descent and my husband of Japanese and Egyptian decent, and I wanted to incorporate a traditional Filipino coin ceremony using the same coins my parents used when they were married. Paul was resourceful and offered suggestions of how to incorporate this small portion into our ceremony based on his experience conducting Filipino weddings. Paul was also equipped with an Blackberry Playbook which was a surprise! We didn't expect to see an Officiant with a mobile device which had wireless access to assist in our introductory meeting. This was an extremely effective and efficient tool in which he used to walk us through the steps involved in creating our personalized ceremony online.
Enduring Promises offers an online template for creating your wedding ceremony. The ceremony template was so very easy to use, it provided standard selections (ie. vows, opening, etc.) we could choose from or the option to customize. It was a extremely easy to understand and it allowed you the feature to save and come back to it another time if required including an option to edit should you change your mind about how something sounds.
We highly recommend working with Enduring Promises and it was an absolute pleasure!
GUEST




The company was a pleasure to deal with. There were zero issues and all communications were prompt and we were very well taken care of. They gave us an easy to use template that helps couples form their ceremony themselves, despite not having the knowledge themselves, of all the pieces of a ceremony. There are options provided of verses and phrases, which are beautiful, and even if a couple doesn't choose any of the options, it helps guide them to find what works and feels right for them.
Our officiant, Jim Emerson, was an extremely nice and a pleasure to work with. He was easy to get a hold of, responded quickly, and made sure the ceremony ran the way it was supposed to; through talking with other vendors, parents, and every member of the wedding party. I was so appreciative of how much he went back and forth with me to make sure each moment of the ceremony was how we envisioned it, that it would flow smoothly, and be a fantastic day.

A helpful hint for future brides AND grooms: Make sure you've chosen or personalized your vows, as they are what makes your ceremony most special to you! Also, just like other things that should be delegated to someone else to hold (shoes, dressbag, tissues, etc.), make sure you have an extra copy of your vows!

Hi Kim and Craig
Your ceremony wars truly one of the most unique and memorable wedding I have had the pleasure of Officiating. After all not many couples get married on skates at center ice.

From our very first meeting with Rinette, we knew that she was the perfect officiant for us. She was warm and professional with a great sense of humour. Most importantly, Rinette really listened to us and took the time to understand what we wanted for our ceremony. During our no obligation in-person consultation (something that many other companies were not willing to provide), Rinette took the time to talk us through all aspects of the process including the ceremony template. This template proved to be a very useful tool. It gave us suggestions for ceremony content but also allowed us to personalize every aspect. It also helped us when my husband was on the road for work during the planning process. He was able to log in and review and revise content while away.
Rinette was most helpful to us during the planning process. She always returned emails promptly and her responses were thoughtful and thorough. Rinette is clearly committed to her work and she was very supportive and helpful. She gave us feedback and ideas, but never attempted to force our choices.
On our wedding day, Rinette arrived with her bright smile and calming presence and made sure to check in with us and with our friends and family who were involved in the ceremony. I was able to focus on getting ready knowing that things were in good hands with Rinette.
Rinette did a beautiful job of our ceremony and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.
Thanks very much!!

I would just like to say that Matt Delaney with Enduring Promises was amazing, the best person we felt to make our ceremony go smoothly, and help us get to the point of being husband and wife.
From the time that we contacted Enduring Promises to the last minute they were courteous, professional and caring. I am so pleased that we decided to go with them.
Matt helped make our day that much more special and I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know that is getting married and looking for an officiant. WE had an extra special touch in our ceremony that was unexpected, and Matt allowed us to make it our own, and was agreeable with everything with asked.
Thank you again Enduring Promises and Matt for helping make our dreams come true.
Sincerely,
Jennifer & Nick Caron.

Our day went off without a hitch.
People had a great time and have said it was the best wedding they have ever been to.
The Enduring Promises site made it easy for Matt and I to customize our ceremony to involve our families in a unique way that created a feeling of love and fun.
Rinette’s belief in marriage and love was key to our day and helped set the stage for an amazing day. She was patient, professional and funny at times which is exactly what we were looking for.
Thank You Rinette! Jen and Matt

We had Rinette Emerson as our Officiant for our special day and she was perfect. Rinette was professional, friendly and had a number of useful tips and ideas when planning our ceremony.
Prior to the wedding she ensured that we had all the necessary elements of our wedding organized. On the day of, she facilitated the ceremony so everyone was aware of their duties and that the ceremony was memorable and ran smoothly.
Enduring Promises was a great company to deal with. All my questions and concerns were quickly responded to. Their template for wedding planning was easy to use and had a variety of choices to help tailor the wedding to reflect us as a couple.
I would recommend Enduring Promises to anyone looking for an excellent officiant for their wedding.

We could not have been happier with the service provided by our officiant Jim and with Enduring Promises as a whole.Â
Â
First, we really liked the online ceremony planner as it was very organized and easy to use. It was great to have different examples and ideas laid out so that we could build our wedding and include whatever ceremony elements we wanted.  We liked that we were able to take the ideas that were given and add things that we wanted to say to make our wedding more personal and in keeping with how we envisioned it. We also liked that we were able to communicate with our officiant online and that he was able to guide us along and offer advice in this manner. Planning a wedding can be so time consuming so we found this online correspondence to be really helpful and such a time saver.
Â
We honestly could not thank Jim enough for all his hard work. From the moment we met him at our consultation, we knew that he was exactly the person we wanted to be involved in our special day. At our first meeting we spent quite a lot of time getting to know each other and we could just tell that he was very kind and thoughtful and was genuinely committed to making our day special. On the day of the wedding Jim explained everything clearly and thoroughly, and took the time to go through all the details with us and our wedding party, which we really appreciated. The wedding was really organized and ran very smoothly and Jim brought a really friendly and intimate quality to our ceremony. We are really thankful for the guidance Jim provided in planning the ceremony and for all his help and advice.
Â
We very highly recommend Enduring Promises to anyone who is looking for a wedding officiant and hopefully you will be as lucky as we were to get Jim as your officiant.

Hi Jennifer and Ian,
WOW, thank you for your words of support and encouragement. Black Creek Pioneer Village was a wonderful backdrop for your Special Day. I liked how you included so many different people in your ceremony as it added such a personal touch to your celebration. I wish you continued joy and happiness as you begin this new chapter in your relationship. ~ Jim

I feel unbelievably lucky to have had Jim Emerson officiate our elopement. In my attempt to be as unfussy as possible about the ceremony, I requested we stick to something simple and casual. When he responded with "we can keep it simple, but there's no reason we can't also make it special" I realized just how thoughtful he was. We'd never been married before, and haven't been to a lot of weddings, and Jim offered suggestions and gave us lots of options with what we could include in the ceremony. He even gave me a detailed critique of a poem I wanted for a reading, but was unsure about. He was always available, and responded promptly to e-mails and phone calls. I was glad I had someone to bring all my concerns to, it really helped that we had his guidance. Wedding planning can be daunting and I'm so grateful that we had someone who genuinely wanted to help make our day special. Enduring Promises was nothing but a positive experience from start to finish, and I highly recommend them!

It was such a pleasure working with you and celebrating your special day at Ben McNally's bookstore. You were such a great couple to work with I thoroughly enjoyed our time together...and your motorcycle recession was over the top!
GUEST




We had a great experience using Enduring Promises. Richard, our officiant, was extremely friendly, professional and reliable. We had no idea what we were doing and he helped us plan and prepare for our wedding ceremony. On the day Richard was on time and blended into the celebration seamlessly. He gauged the mood and adapted his role appropriately. The website provided by Enduring Promises allowed us to plan our ceremony and fit it perfectly to our needs. Throughout the planning process Richard provided great feedback to help us make it perfect. We couldn't recommend Enduring Promises and Richard more highly.
GUEST




Paul M. exceeded our expectations as our officiant. This was the first for both sides of the family to witness a spiritual ceremony. Paul was warm, personable and professional right from the initial meeting up until the ceremony. He was easily accessible via email and reached out to us to offer help in the preparation of our ceremony layout.
I love the when piecing the ceremony together, the templates and recommendations that Enduring Promises provided were simple. I would have to say that the entire process was simple from beginning to end. As working professionals, we were trying to juggle wedding preparations, our jobs and our sanity. The reminders that we received were helpful and having everything on-line helped tremendously.
We had a memorable day thanks to Paul and Enduring Promises!
GUEST




It was our pleasure to have Richard share in our special day, like all the family and friends that were present there ,we are highly pleased as to the way our ceremony went on. You did treat us as if you've known us for ages while still maintain a high degree of professionalism - we appreciate that very much. We've recieved a lot of comments saying how great our ceremony was. The online template was very useful and made the process so much easier. Thank you once again.
GUEST




We were very happy with Enduring Promises as a company and Jim as our wedding officiant. Jim made the preparation process very easy for us, while being flexible with our needs. During the ceremony itself, we were very impressed with his professionalism. His extensive experience truly shows. He was very thorough, and instructed everyone involved on their roles during the ceremony. The ceremony itself was memorable and stress-free. Would not hesitate to recommend him to everyone.
GUEST




Rinette from Enduring Promises was a perfect match for our wedding. She was so helpful and dedicated to helping us plan the perfect ceremony, and even though the wedding was delayed slightly, she was on her feet and ready to make an last minute changes I and the Groom needed to happen in the ceremony. Rinette, you're amazing and you made our ceremony amazing!
Enduring Promises template for personalizing ones ceremony was so easy to use and the fact that if you had any questions, your officiant could view your ceremony structure in real time and help out asap! It was so quick and easy, it made planning my wedding ceremony hassle-free!
Enduring Promises lived up to my every expectations and I am really grateful to them for providing me with my officiant, Rinette. I would recommend them in a heart beat! :)
GUEST




Jim Emerson was our officiant and we were completely thrilled by the level of service he provided. Our ceremony was beautiful and perfectly planned thanks to Enduring Promises and Jim. Thank you for making our day one that we will always remember.
GUEST




I don't often write reviews or give a service a rating of 100% satisfaction, but Enduring Promises really did meet and exceed any expectations we'd had for an Officiant and ceremony planning service. I have already reccommended E.P to a fellow couple getting married.
The ceremony planning template was comprehensive, flexible, and intuitive. Our Officiant Jim was a pleasure to have officiating our ceremony, and provided helpful tips and guidance while writing our vows. He really went the entra mile to ensure that our ceremony was cohesive, made special alterations and considerations to accommodate special requests for the structure of our ceremony, and was an all-round pleasure to work with. He brought laughter and warmth to our ceremony and all of our guests complimented everything from the appropriate duration to how meaningful it was.
I would absolutely reccommend Enduring Promises to anyone in search of an Officiant service. It wasn't just some person who shows up at your ceremony and leaves, they play an integral role in the planning and execution, without charging an arm and leg. My husband and I were very pleased.
GUEST

GUEST




We had Jim as our Officiant for our ceremony. He provided a wonderful ceremony for us that wasn't too traditional but was still very elegant and personal. Jim was great to work with, is very friendly, and has a sweet disposition about him. The website that is used to plan the ceremony gave us a lot of ideas and was very user friendly. During the big day, a time that could of been stressful turned out perfect and was stress free because he made us feel very comfortable. The groom didn't pass out so that was a great thing! :) Jim was very helpful with the entire process and answered any questions that we had in a timely manner, which is very much appreciated when trying to plan and organize everything close to the wedding day. We couldn't have chosen a better officiant for our ceremony.
GUEST




Jim Emerson was very kind and pleasantly humorous, which made our bridal party and families feel comfortable right off the bat. He's was professional and very informative if there were ever any questions.
Pleasure to work with. Very comforting to the bride and groom and control the audience very well.
In addition to working with Enduring Promises many times in the past, we happened to attend a wedding where they were officiating last Fall. The outdoor ceremony was lovely, with a perfect balance of personal moments, and just enough humor to keep the crowd warm from laughing on the coldest day imaginable! We would highly recommend Enduring Promises to any of our couples.
We had the pleasure of working with Jim Emerson from Enduring Promises Inc on numerous occasions and were amazed by his punctuality, expertise and most of all his friendliness.

I recently connected with Enduring Promises at a Wedding in Burlington. He walked me through the key moments that were about to unfold and alerted me to some extra details that the Bride had not mentioned. The wedding was beautiful and his service was impeccable. I was so pleased to meet and work with an officiant who cared about the whole service and ceremony wanting the Brides interests looked after and not just interested in doing his part and leaving. Refreshing!!! I Highly recommend.
It was a pleasure working with Enduring Promises. Jim is extremely friendly and had a great rapport with the bride and groom and is a consummate professional. I highly recommend Enduring Promises to any couple seeking a meaningful service for their wedding.
