Everything was great using the service by All Seasons from start to finish. Excellent communication from Gary. Gary was punctual organized. He made us feel comfortable and added humour to help ease the situation. The best thing about our wedding was being able to mingle and visit with our guests before the ceremony. we would definitely refer Gary to someone else being married . June 2023

Jesse and I cannot thank you enough for creating a wedding for us that far exceeded our expectations. I could not have dreamt a more beautiful wedding. Words truly cannot express how happy we were with everything you did. It was the most beautiful wedding because of your charismatic character and wonderful wife's planning behind the scenes. All of our family and friends are still talking about how awesome the officiant was and how he kept it light, funny and kept the meaning of love in the forefront. Thank you!! You are truly the best at what you do!!

Amy & Greg
We had several compliments on our ceremony and our officiant. Gary Faris made everything easy, fun and relaxed. We especially loved how he said the vows that we were to repeat into our ear instead of the mic for us to repeat, this way when our guests heard our vows it was from us.

Gema & Craig
Gary Faris was fantastic. He was like a warm hug and he made sure our marriage ceremony was a perfect reflection of who we are. He easily wove our family into the ceremony which made it all that more special and memorable for us. Gary is a kind and special man and we consider ourselves lucky to have had him with us on our wedding day. Great experience from beginning to end. Thank you!

Teresa & Paul
Gary Faris didn't meet our expectations, he exceeded them and then some. What a wonderful man. The time he took with Paul and I and our daughter Jenna, who sang at the wedding service was remarkable.

Cheyenne and Paul
Hi Gary,there are seriously no words to describe how incredible you made our wedding ceremony. I have never witnessed a ceremony so personal, so touching, so fun and so perfect.You have a true gift. We had countless people coming up to us saying “Where did you find him?”. It was the little things you did like put your hand on Paul’s shoulder when you saw him get tearful when he first saw me, to standing to the side and whispering the vows in our ears, to getting down to little Jaden’s level and giving him “props” when it was time for his vows. All Seasons Weddings and the couples who have chosen Gary Faris to perform their ceremonies are VERY, VERY lucky!

I wanted to make sure to follow up on the great website you have and the amazing Wedding Officiant we chose. We chose Gary Faris perform our ceremony and he was truly a gem to work with. We found that Gary is very generous with his time and he even met with us twice (went out of his way). Gary a wonderful sense of humour and a very huge heart.We are so impressed with his professionalism and the way he presents himself. He has long hair which is pretty trendy in terms of being old fashioned and yet up to date and well kept. I would hope that no one would judge him by his hair. There are plenty more serious things in the world to worry about other than Gary's hair. We love him! I would highly recommend Gary Faris for any special occasion.
