David Blow

A little about me…

Congratulations on your engagement and your upcoming wedding celebration. I am licensed to Officiate weddings in Ontario and have been doing so for the past 15 years. Celebrating with couples is a passion of mine. With well over 500 couples served I would welcome the opportunity to participate in your wedding celebration. 

My Personal Story:

I was raised in the Richmond Hill area where I attended both Elementary, and High School. I graduated from university in 1977 with a degree in Political Science and Economics. I returned to complete a master’s degree in 2007.

My Family:

I have been married to my wife for 46 years and have two grown children living in the GTA. We also have three very active grandchildren.

My Life Experiences:

My life has been an interesting journey of twists and turns, ups and downs. I work with a non-profit agency that assists those leaving prison to integrate back into the community.

I am an active public speaker on a variety of social justice issues and teach at various Colleges around Southern Ontario.

My Interests and Passions:

Favourite sports: I have a keen interest in most sports – especially football and golf. I also enjoy time at the gym, sometimes I even work out.
At present, I am rediscovering the fine art of road hockey, and video games with my 14 year old grandson. What was an office chair is now a gaming chair. He lets me win sometimes, for which I am grateful.

Favorite interests: I appreciate spending time with people and listening to their stories.

Favorite thing to do: Enjoy time with family and our Golden Retriever puppy, Kobe.  He is an active listener (sometimes), especially on walks.  I also love spending time with our Chocolate Lab Grand-dogs Wyatt. and Louie

Favorite music: I appreciate all genres of music but mostly classic vinyl.

Check out David in ACTION!

Meaghan & Shawn

We have a very diverse background and are not religious people but we do believe in faith, family and togetherness. David helped us create a beautiful wedding ceremony that incorporated our backgrounds and our values. We were able to personalize a ceremony that was inter-religious, unique and very memorable. David was there for us whenever we needed him.
Morgan and Micah

David worked closely with us to create a ceremony that was personal and meaningful. And with his calm and confident demeanour, he put us at ease on the day itself, when our emotions were at their peak. David’s words were inspirational to us as a couple and to our guests. David took the time to get to know us and it showed in our very personal ceremony. Thank you David.
Judy and Gord

David was able to help us create a beautiful personalized wedding ceremony. My husband and I didn’t want a long traditional ceremony and David respected that. It didn’t take him long to find out that we enjoy a good laugh and our ceremony was tailored to be a relection of that. Friends and family have told us it was one of the most personalwedding ceremonies they had ever attended. We laughed, we cried, we loved!! Thanks again David.

You should hire David Blow! We got so many compliments on David Blow, our Officiant, and the ceremony service that he provided at our wedding! In fact, many of our guests thought he was a family friend because he was so personable and caring. We actually discovered Enduring Promises at a wedding vendor event held at our venue, the Guild Inn. We liked that we were keeping so much of the ceremony in-house and on-location. David Blow was always helpful and knowledgeable about the ceremony. David made the trek to our hometown for our initial getting-to-know-you meeting. He was interested in our lives and our love story, and understood the type of service that we wanted: short, sweet, light but not ridiculous. Then the pandemic hit and we had to reschedule our wedding - twice - in order to host the full friend and family event that we wanted. David was in communication with us throughout the wedding planning and re-planning stage. The online ceremony console organized the different parts of the ceremony and even provided examples. We knew we wanted a shorter ceremony with a mix of traditional and personal elements, and we could select examples, edit, and copy and paste whatever we wanted. I liked that we could save our selections or edits in the console instead of having to write them elsewhere and paste them in. We were really glad that we booked a rehearsal with David in order to connect one last time before the wedding. He showed us how our ceremony would proceed based on the console information and made useful suggestions that improved the flow of events. He instructed the wedding party through the processional order and took time to learn some Ukrainian words for our ceremony. He inquired about our reading choices and personal vows, and made us feel like our ceremony was going to be something special. On the day of our wedding, David helped us feel calm and happy. He adapted to last minute changes smoothly and professionally. He spoke eloquently, and led the guests, wedding party, and us through the ceremony with ease. He really set the tone for a wonderful wedding!
