Testimonials

Douglas and the Fraser Valley Officiants team were one of the first vendors we chose when planning our wedding. We met them at a wedding show and knew instantly they were a team of really great people that simply love love. They understand everyone’s love story is different and celebrate each couple for who they are. Our family and friends have mentioned our ceremony as being one of their favourites because Douglas just so very clearly was excited to be there and to celebrate our day with us. He took the time to get to know my partner and I, and our story, and created a beautiful ceremony through collaboration and love. We felt so supported and comfortable because of the professionalism and communication that Douglas showed – even our other vendors praised these skills from him. It was simply a pleasure for us to be married by someone that holds so much joy and excitement for someone else’s wedding day.

Jennifer was our officiant for our wedding this past weekend. She was not only communicative during the past year of planning, but on the day of she made sure to come talk to my, now, wife before we walked down the aisle to go over the whole process. She gave us a dream of a ceremony and we couldn’t have asked for a better guiding light into the very start of our marriage.

Douglas and the Fraser Valley Officiants team were absolutely amazing to work with. From start to finish, everything felt organized, professional, and genuinely personal. Douglas made our ceremony feel so special and tailored to us, which meant a lot. He was calm, kind, and helped ease any nerves we had on the big day. We’ve had so many guests tell us how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was. We’re so grateful we chose this team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an officiant!

We are so incredibly grateful to Fraser Valley Officiant 🤍 Douglas went above and beyond to make our ceremony absolutely perfect. He was so kind, professional, and made everything feel so special and meaningful. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant—highly recommend! ✨

We had such a positive experience with Jennifer for our September 2024 wedding. She was kind, professional, and built the most perfect ceremony that felt like us. She came out to our rehearsal dinner to help us work through our nerves and figure out everything beforehand so the day ran sooo smoothly. She was patient when we had latecomers to the rehearsal and just made us feel so comfortable from the first day we met on zoom! We had so many guests comment on how beautiful and unique the ceremony was, we loved how we could customize everything and Jennifer pulled it all together perfectly. Cannot say enough good things about our experience!!

It was pleasure to have you guys on our special day ! Will refer you in the future

My husband and I were so happy to work with Fraser Valley Officiants! They made our day so special and allowed us to customize up or down how we wanted our ceremony to go. I enjoyed all the extra time we were able to spend with our lovely officiant Bob and how much he helped out plan out our day! I couldn’t recommend this company or Bob enough for your special day, its like having extra family along for the ride!

Doug was so helpful, guiding us through every step from rehearsal, to perfect words spoken during ceremony, registry etc.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an officiant
Debbie and Drake Barker. Married Oct 5, 2024

We were very grateful and fortunate to have found Fraser Valley Officiants. Our wedding was in May of 2025 and Doug was our officiant. Doug was excellent. Before our wedding day, we had couple of online meetings to prepare the flow of the wedding ceremony. Letting us know what to expect or custom the way we wanted to structure the ceremony scripts, plenty of scripts to choose from. Doug was very helpful during the wedding creating a smooth flow. Doug speeches during the ceremony was delivered clear, authentic, and wholehearted.

Ironically, he was also the officiant of another wedding we attended to in July. In that wedding it was an outside ceremony and the weather wasn’t cooperating. In my pov and can see Doug working well with the bride and groom and kept the whole situation in control in a calmly matter. More so than the actual wedding coordinator. Doug was very patient and in the end delivered another beautiful wedding which happened outside ceremony like the couple wanted.

Some may say their service might be little more expensive than others, but we say it’s worth it for their quality of service. We are very certain people will be satisfied with Fraser Valley Officiants. Highly recommended from us.

Douglas made our wedding ceremony something we’ll genuinely never forget. From the very first call he was warm, funny, and immediately put us both at ease, which is no small thing when you’re about to get married in front of everyone you love.

He took real time to understand who we are as a couple and built a ceremony that felt completely personal, not templated. He was flexible, responsive, and patient through all the back-and-forth leading up to the day. At The Greenhouse in Abbotsford, he delivered exactly the ceremony we hoped for.

If you’re looking for an officiant who strikes the perfect balance between meaningful and joyful, Douglas is your person. We’d recommend him without a second thought.

They helped our day be even more special

Douglas made our day perfect! He put a lot of work in before and after the wedding, making sure everything was the way we wanted it and made our day so easy. Just asks a few questions and he does the rest of the work. Can’t recommend them enough!

Jennifer was INCREDIBLE. Exactly the energy we were looking for. She put so much care and love into every step of the process, from getting to know us, running our rehearsal and officiating our ceremony. At no point did we feel uncertain about what was needed from us, what would happen on the day of, or what she would say. Highly recommend working with Jennifer and her team, it truly was an investment in not only the day of the wedding but in our marriage. Everyone who attended is still raving about how wonder she was.

Douglas was a great wedding officiant to work with. You can tell Douglas loves being apart of weddings by the way he spoke. He took time to get to know us and tailored the ceremony to align with what we wanted on our wedding day. He and the team at Fraser Valley officiants were all great communicators, very personable and easy to work with. We were so happy to have met them and have Douglas be apart of our day.

Jennifer was absolutely amazing!!! She took the time to care about my family and made sure to even include my 1 year old daughter in the ceremony to make sure we all felt apart of the experience together. I could recommend a better person for your special day!! 🙂

At first we thought it be hard to find the right officiant. But once we found Fraser Valley Officiants and sat down with Douglas it was an easy yes. He was so helpful through out the whole process. Any questions we had he answered and checked in with us leading up to the big day. We can’t thank you enough for being apart of the journey. 🙂

We are so happy we found Fraser Valley Officiants. Jenny officiated our courthouse wedding in Vancouver. She went above and beyond for us. Taking the time to meet before our wedding to present options for our ceremony, offer suggestions, and even delivered their doves to our reception!

Thank you Jenny! ❤️
