Officiant Of The Day

Life is so much sweeter when shared. And we’re not talking about the one you love…
From inside jokes to mischief, venting and advice, and the best kind of knowing—these are our friends. The kind you share everything with—even the excitement when you got engaged!

So when it comes to YOUR wedding, having a friend officiate makes a whole lot of sense—and we don’t disagree! Friends have long been a part of wedding celebrations in creative and significant ways.

Choosing a friend or family member as your “Day of Officiant” is right on-trend. However, unlike the movies, it’s not an easy online application…In Canada, a wedding must be officiated by a member of the clergy, a licensed officiant, or a marriage commissioner.

With Enduring Promises, you will create your ceremony using our Wedding Portal. (don’t worry, we’re here to help!)

You will have the flexibility at your fingertips to choose exactly what part of your love story you want your friend or family member to share. You can also include a reading, or not, add a special element or incorporate a loving way to honour your parents.

A perfectly personalized wedding ceremony—with no surprises or stress. Your friend will be grateful, and YOU will bring the vision and feel of your wedding ceremony to life!

On your special day, your chosen Enduring Promises Officiant will step in to hear your Statement of Intent and declare you legally married (even if it’s whispered) as you sign the marriage license.

Weddings are all about heart and including a close friend or family member as your Day of Officiant honours the journey you share as loved ones.

Enduring Promises is here to help and support because… Friends are the family we choose.
