I have had the honour of being apart of so many wonderful weddings over the years. You may also check out reviews on Facebook or WeddingWire.
The moment we met with Christian we knew he’d be a great fit for us. He was so prepared and helpful and made the ceremony process and planning less stressful and more fun. Our ceremony felt custom and true to us and we could not be more thankful!
Christian was awesome! We live in Australia and got married in Canada so I didn't know anyone to officiate our wedding. But Christian stepped up conducted himself as if he was a friend/pastor we had know for years. He was very open and responsive and dropped everything at any hour to help (I think I was texting him at 2am on the wedding morning). It was stress free!
Christian was thoughtful, considerate, and organized, which made planning for our ceremony fun and low stress. Seeing everything he had prepared for us at our first meeting was a big relief: we knew we didn't have to worry about how our ceremony would go with him at the helm. Leading up to the day he worked with us to get the ceremony just right, and on the day he was so on the ball connecting with everybody involved to make sure everything ran smoothly that we felt we were in such good hands. I highly recommend Christian for your own wedding!

Christian went above and beyond to customize our wedding ceremony and make it the most memorable day ever. He vastly exceeded all our expectations starting from the first meeting to walk us through his process and taking the time to get to know our thoughts, desires and expectations for the ceremony. Christian really understood us as a couple and adapted accordingly - he was funny, yet sincere. Informative and confident, yet flexible.
Thanks for making our wedding day run so smoothly and your calm, gentle yet very in control leadership during the ceremony and especially since I hit you up some parts to the wedding on the last minutes. I am so glad we found you to perform the ceremony for our wedding… :)
Christian was an amazing Wedding Officiant for our wedding on July 7, 2018. We met him a few times prior to the wedding date and he was very organized, thorough and helpful. We exchanged a few phone calls and emails prior to our wedding date. He also provided a few templates as ideas and we modified them to our style. Christian is a very captivating speaker and he really made sure that the ceremony went very smoothly. I would recommend Christian to anyone planning a wedding ceremony, absolutely fabulous wedding officiant. We were very lucky to have chosen Christian :)
Christian was absolutely amazing. He completely customized our wedding to fit us. From day one it felt like we were on the same page and like a part of our family. I cant recommend him enough.
We could not have done this without Christian! Not only was he the officiant but he was basically our day of coordinator. We had a lot of unexpected situations the morning of our wedding and Christian did everything to help us get the the alter. We appreciated his kindness and willingness to do anything to make our day special. I highly recommend Christian.
Christian Sawka is an incredible officiant. He was able to make me laugh out loud in our first e-mail exchange and at that moment I knew this was the officiant for us!
Christian was always quick to respond to any inquiries I had throughout the planning process. He supplied helpful documents such as timeline templates and tips on how to write your own vows.
He showed up to the rehearsal the evening before and he arrived early on our wedding day to make sure everything was good. Our wedding ceremony was perfect and Christian was a huge part of that.
We had soooooo many compliments from our guests about how great Christian was and we couldn’t agree more.
Me and my husband used Christian as our modern non-religious officiant at Westwood Plateau. He was funny, easygoing and flexible. He provided us with a ceremony template and I made changes to it many times as I changed my mind. He was easy and quick to communicate to questions through e-mail. He attended our wedding rehearsal. He was able to coordinate a bit of the wedding ceremony by coordinating the group photos and direct guests at the ceremony. Me and my husband would highly recommend!
Christian performed our ceremony on Aug 24, 2019 and he was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. From the first time I met him, I knew we made a great choice. His welcoming and warm personality made the whole process so easy! He provided great resources and templates for our ceremony, and Christian was incredibly flexible when I decided to change things up on him! We were extremely impressed with his professionalism and would HIGHLY recommend his services!!
Christian was excellent right from day one. He met with us months before the wedding on a Sunday at Starbucks to go over everything and help guide us as we did not know where to start! Let me add it was with my whole family! He sent e-mails promptly, and was always available to answer any questions we had. Right from the start we felt confident in trusting him with our big day! The rehearsal was guided by Christian and it made me feel so much less nervous, as I had no idea what to do! He was efficient and kept my talkative friends on task. The day of the wedding Christian was early, and made me feel at ease as he visited with me (the bride) before the big moment. He let me know it was my day, and everything was going to go great! I would HIGHLY recommend Christian, he helped execute the most perfect ceremony and made sure every aspect was tailored to what we wanted. You will not be disappointed if you hire him! We will be staying in touch with him too as he is also just a genuinely nice person :)
We can't recommend Christian enough! He was a pleasure to work with. He really makes you feel comfortable. He made things really easy, providing us with all the details of what the day was going to like like, which things he would be involved in, a draft of his important talking points, as well as availability for questions throughout the process. He attended the rehearsal dinner and lead the entire wedding party through a rehearsal. It's so refreshing to have someone young and personable be a big part of the wedding day. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was stress-free. Christian has the experience to knock it out of the park and but has an incredible passion for his work. He will make you feel like your wedding is his number one priority. You won't find a better officiant!
My husband and I had been to many weddings in the past and sometimes we were astounded at the officiants level of interest or enthusiasm. Stuttering, too quiet, unable to smile, too busy to answer our questions etc.
We contacted Christian because we were excited to find someone our age who could go with the flow and understand our sense of humour. We were extremely happy with Christian's service. Not only was he very approachable and flexible to meet with, but he also clicked with us and our wedding party right away. The rehearsal and wedding ceremony were very smooth. Our parents and guests at the wedding later commented on how great and funny our officiant was, surprised that he wasn't a friend we'd known beforehand. We wanted someone who could do everything an officiant can do, but just be casual and relaxed about it, and that's exactly what Christian was for us. He also was very helpful leading up to the wedding, answering all my questions and even making a copy of my vows when I accidentally forgot them! Life saver! I would highly recommend him. Thanks Christian!
Christian was an amazing officiant. He is extremely professional yet versatile and relatable. He is also very kind and will make you feel comfortable as if you’ve known him forever.
For our ceremony, We had no idea what we were doing or what we wanted when we came to him. All we knew is that we wanted something short and light-hearted.
When we met with him for the first time he came very prepared and showed us all of the different options we had. He made sure we understood everything and let us know he is always available to help if we needed it.
After some deliberation, we told Christian the basics of what we wanted (short, sweet and funny) for the ceremony and let him have full creative control. It ended up being absolutely perfect. He personalized his speeches so much to fit our personalities. He had both us and our guests laughing so hard at times and crying tears of joy in others. It was just so much better than we could have ever imagined. We will be forever grateful to Christian and we highly recommend him to anyone.
Christian did a wonderful job as our Officiant! He was fun, professional and he even had personalized jokes! which we loved :) I highly recommend
