Justin Kelsey - Enduring Promises

A Little Bit About me ….

My name is Justin, I am husband, Father, a family man, a musician, and wedding officiant. I serve with an amazing charity that helps a lot of people in need.

I love helping people connect and am a natural communicator and believe we all can positively impact the lives of others around us. We can be the change that puts a smile on the person beside us and brightens their day.

My Personal Story ….

When I was 20 years of age, I came as close to death as one could come after being struck head on by an impaired driver traveling at hi-way speeds. The paramedics that were first on the scene and helped to save my life admitted to me after the fact that they didn’t know if I would make it.

That moment changed my life and the way I view my responsibility to help others slow their pace and enjoy their everyday life and the people around them, to celebrate good times together and be there for each other in difficult times.

I express these same sentiments when keynote speaking at various events.

My Family ….

I am happily married to my wife Martine of 17 years, and am the father to funny, loves to dance and very helpful teenager (going against the grain).

My wife is also an award-winning recording artist (motivational, contemporary) and has performed across Canada and internationally.

My Life Experience ….

Dreamers were never meant to walk alone, an unknown quote I have used many times over, as my spouse is my best friend, and we dream together and strive to help make our dreams come true and the dreams of others. Helping others is the best reward you will ever receive, and that is my heart’s desire when serving couples. Together we are better!

My Interests & Passions ….

Music (I am a tour and session drummer), nature walks, cycling, various sports, and community planning. I have volunteered my time over the years to plan charitable fundraiser events to help the vulnerable sector. Everyone deserves to know and feel that someone cares about them and their needs. Each one can reach one!

My husband Robert and I recently celebrated our Anniversary. We looked fondly at our photos and reflected on our wedding day. We again want to thank you for your assistance and direction to assemble this intimate wedding ceremony. Because of your suggestions for a creative zoom component our family and friends from across Canada were able to participate in our joyous day. Justin we also appreciated that you kept us calm and focused, and in doing so, allowed us and our wedding party to enjoy a truly special day.

It was a true blessing to have Justin officiate our wedding back in October of 2016. Justin is very well spoken, has a great sense of humor, and is a good man. He ensured to communicate with us prior to our special day so it would be exactly how we wanted it to be. Our wedding ceremony/day was indeed perfect! Thank you once again!

Our officiant, Justin, made our day very special and comfortable. He walked us through what to expect on the day of and helped us customize our ceremony to ensure that we were happy with the flow of the ceremony. He made our family and friends feel very comfortable as well when meeting them prior to the ceremony. He had a very calm, light-hearted demeanor when officiating our ceremony, which was exactly what we were looking for. We were also pleased by the opportunity to review script options for the ceremony through the tools provided by Enduring Promises.

I would like to express my gratitude for the services provided by our wedding efficient, Justin Kelsey. Our wedding plans were the contributions of a small group of family and friends. We did not have all the arrangements completely worked out. Justin was extremely helpful working with us, and made many great ideas and suggestions in planning our reception. Without his assistance I feel the evening would not have turned out as successful as it did. His input into our wedding plans was a great deal of help, and relieved a great deal of my stress. Justin worked with us from the early stages of our plans and showed a professional manner through the entire process. We were extremely happy with his services, and would definitely recommend him to other family members or friends.

We had Justin Kelsey as our officiant for our wedding in June 2023 in Cambridge, and it was an amazing experience. He made everything so easy - allowing us to customize the ceremony just as we wanted, to best represent ourselves and celebrate our love. Justin guided us through the process and made it fun and exciting. Its apparent that he loves what he does and loves working with couples. He was organized, attentive and supportive. The website and couples' portal was very easy to use, with helpful suggestions for wording and personal changes. We would highly recommend them!.
