We had the absolute pleasure of being married by Brad Brownell at Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Planning an elopement all the way from Florida was a bit daunting, but he made everything so easy and stress-free from the very beginning. He was kind, funny, and incredibly responsive to all our questions leading up to the day. We always felt heard and supported, even from thousands of miles away. On the day of our ceremony, he arrived on time, brought such a calm and joyful energy, and made the moment feel truly special and personal.

If you’re considering eloping or getting married in Banff, we couldn’t recommend Brad Brownell more. He helped make our dream mountain wedding a reality!

We booked with Enduring Promises and were paired up with Brad Brownell for our ceremony and I have to say it was amazing.

Brad made the entire process super easy and comfortable making sure he prioritized our experience for the entire thing.

On the wedding day he was extremely upbeat and friendly and his relaxed attitude was perfect to help make the ceremony fun. He did a beautiful ceremony for us and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking for an officiant. He even snapped some great photos for us while we were doing our vows!

The online portal is very intuitive to use also and made planning the ceremony a breeze.

While picking an officiant for our wedding, my husband and I knew the kind of person we were hoping to get! We just needed to find him. While searching the enduring promises website, we came across a video of Stephan Wright and we hit play! A few minutes after that we were filling in all necessary forms to be able to book him for our wedding! We hopped on a zoom call with Stephan a few short weeks after that and we knew we made the right decision! The vibe was right and he was asking us questions to get to know us better too!

Fast forward a few months before our wedding, and Stephan calls us and tells us that he had an accident during the winter and requires knee surgery! He assured us he would still be able to make our wedding- and he did! Crutches and knee brace and all- he showed up! Got a ride from his wife and still showed up! If that’s not commitment, I’m not sure what is!

Thank you again Stephan- your professionalism is unmatched and we are so happy everything worked out!

We used Enduring promises for our wedding, with Ron being our officiant. He was very friendly and professional. The online setup for your ceremony choices was really easy to use, with lots of default and customizable options. Then there would be quick responses from Ron with notes on our ceremony setup.

We had a shorter ceremony and Ron knocked it out park. We had all kinds of comments from our guests praising him.

Ron made our wedding special and we can’t recommend him enough.

We had such a fantastic experience with Sharon McKenley from Enduring Promises! We are so glad that we found them through our wedding planner. Sharon brought so much kindness, laughter, and love to our special day and in all the meetings/calls leading up to the day. We could not be more thankful to have found Sharon, as she truly cared about us as a couple versus just seeing us as her clients.

Sharon far exceeded our expectations and provided us with lots of information as we were figuring out the marriage license and certificate process. On the day of, she made the ceremony so enjoyable and we felt that she always had our back!

The online platform that Enduring Promises provides is very straightforward and it was extremely easy to customize the ceremony and gave lots of helpful templates and suggestions. Would highly recommend Enduring Promises and Sharon!!

We had the pleasure of having Angela as our wedding officiant, she was truly amazing! Working with Angela and Enduring Promises was a very positive experience. From the initial consultation Angela was approachable and personable which is exactly what we wanted in an officiant. She helped us craft a ceremony that represented us perfectly. She was very organized at the rehearsal and made us feel comfortable going into the big day. Her delivery was heartfelt and engaging, leaving a lasting impression on everyone. We highly recommend Angela to be your wedding officiant!

Incredible Wedding Officiant Experience – David Blow – BLEW us away! We had the absolute pleasure of having David as our wedding officiant, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

From the very first meeting, he made us feel completely at ease and truly understood the vision we had for our ceremony. David took the time to get to know us as a couple, listening to our story and incorporating personal touches that made our ceremony uniquely ours. He guided us through the entire process with professionalism, warmth, and a genuine passion for his work.

The ceremony was beautifully crafted and delivered with perfect timing, balance, and emotion. It was clear that David put a lot of thought and care into every word, and it resonated deeply with us and our guests. Many of our friends and family commented on how personal and heartfelt the ceremony was, and we owe that entirely to David. He created an atmosphere that was both intimate and joyful, setting the perfect tone for the rest of our day.

We are so grateful to have had David be such an integral part of our wedding. If you’re looking for an officiant who is not only professional and organized but also truly cares about making your ceremony special, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend David to any couple looking to make their wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, David, for making our wedding ceremony everything we dreamed it would be and more!

Our officiant Geninne was incredible, from the moment we first connected via Enduring Promises. She was so open and understanding, and really wanted to get to know us as a couple and our vision for our civil ceremony so that she could make sure her words were a true reflection of us. She was very responsive to questions before the ceremony, very understanding of our values and open to participating in some of the cultural elements we wanted to incorporate into our civil ceremony. She truly made us feel at ease, before, during, and after the ceremony! She even stayed to deliver a beautiful prayer before our meal. We are so thankful to have had Geninne officiate our civil ceremony, thank you Geninne!

Jair went above and beyond! We couldn’t have asked for an officiant who was more professional and accommodating. He made our wedding inclusive by translating the ceremony into Spanish for our guests with limited English. He gave clear instructions to our guests reminding them to keep their phones away and when they could use them. He even takes great selfies! Looking back we definitely asked for a lot but he delivered and then some! His words brought tears to the eyes of almost all of our guests (even to those no one would think would tear up). Thank you so much Jair!

Best officiant anyone could ask for!

Angela Manuel was our officiant and we were blown away by her professionalism. It is clear that she has a tremendous amount of experience and is passionate about what she does. She led our wedding rehearsal which reduced a lot of our stress. Angela led our ceremony in the exact way that we wanted and helped us with any questions or concerns that we had. I’d highly recommend her and Enduring Promises!
