Best Officiant!

Wayde was the perfect choice to officiate our wedding ceremony! He is the perfect combination of serious and fun! We received so many compliments from our guests after the ceremony of how much they loved Wayde’s words. And his expertise does not go unnoticed. Due to the layout of our venue, you were able to see me before I officially reached the start of the aisle, so Wayde had my husband face the opposite direction and turn around at the perfect moment to get the best first look – something neither of us thought of, and we were so happy Wayde told him to do that! Wayde even acted as our own personal bodyguard immediately after the ceremony to make sure my husband and I had a few minutes alone (the only alone time we received all day!) These small acts from Wayde helped make our wedding day that much more special. And I would definitely recommend taking the pre-marital sessions with Wayde, as well!

The goat! Book him and don't look anywhere else!

Wayde was incredible to work with! I am so proud of having the best of the best vendors and he for sure is the GOAT in his field. He was flexible, outgoing, professional, punctual, and so so so knowledgeable. Coming from a Filipino background, I didn't know I needed someone who knew our traditions until I met Wayde. He knew everything and anything. In addition, he is an insane public speaker. His strong, powerful, voice is something that every single person commented on. He knows how to command a room and gets everyone to listen to him. You can't go wrong with him!! BOOK HIM! 100000/10

The Absolute Best!

Wayde was referred to us by a friend and it was the best wedding gift we could have received! My now husband and I took part in Wayde’s pre-marital sessions as well and it has provided us with so many resources and insights that will benefit us throughout our lives together. Wayde will provide a thoughtful, meaningful service that you and your guests will not forget!

Wayde is amazing :)

Wayde was an amazing officiant! He really took the time to know us and what we wanted for our ceremony. Our wedding guests absolutely loved him! Wayde really made our ceremony special and imparted great words of wisdom. He was able to make our guests laugh and cry. Wayde was also very accommodating during the covid craziness - he was able to make things work even after moving to different country! Thanks again Wayde for everything! Toronto will certainly miss you!!

Absolutely the best!

Wayde was such an awesome fit. He made me and my wife feel comfortable and at ease. It felt like we knew him forever. He took his time to learn and understand us as a couple and it reflected in the ceremony. We received so many compliments about his service and everyone said it was a beautiful ceremony. He is absolutely the best! He is professional, experienced, and his personality was a perfect fit to make our day complete.

Just Our Style

April 2017 was the big day for us and we had the pleasure of working with Wayde Salmon as our Officiant. From the very start Wayde was a true professional. He was organized, accommodating and guided us through the process. Weddings By Wayde was just our style with no regrets. He allowed us to customize parts of the service we wanted to be our unique experience which created the perfect balance. Having Wayde as our Officiant was definitely the icing on the cake. Almost five years later and we would still recommend this service to anyone.

Thanks Wayde for making our day amazing!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
