    Best Officiant Ever!

    We were incredibly blessed to have Wayde as our wedding officiant. His humor, warmth, and professionalism created a truly memorable ceremony that left everyone pleased. He effortlessly balanced lightheartedness with the importance of the occasion, engaging guests and making them feel included. Wayde's personalized touches and attention to detail made our ceremony unique and heartfelt. We received countless compliments on his exceptional officiating, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a talented and joyous wedding officiant.

    Wonderful ceremony

    Wayde did a great job at our ceremony. It was personalized and just what we wanted for our day. Glad we made the decision to go with Wayde for our wedding.

    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!

    Phenomenal!!!!!

    Wayde was so awesome, professional, and understanding. Prior to us booking with him, he took time to get to know us personally, gave great premarital advice, and checked in with us often throughout the wedding process. He was so patient the day of the wedding despite our ceremony not starting on time. Instead of getting frustrated or rushing us to begin, Wayde stepped in and assisted every way possible. He gave the groomsmen great etiquette tips before walking down the aisle, helped the wedding party get lined up, checked in to make sure I was ok before everything begin, was on time, and even led the groomsmen in a private prayer before the ceremony begin. Also, his words of encouragement to my husband and I were remarkable. A man of great faith and pride in what he does. We couldn't have picked anyone better. Extremely pleased with his service.

    Amazing!

    Wayde is nothing less than amazing!!! The words he spoke at our wedding touched everyone. 17 days later and we are still being asked about "our pastor". LOL. Wayde renewed a few vows that day without knowing. If God's willing, he will be at our renewal. My husband and I can't thank you enough. Perfection!!!

    Wedding Ceremony to Remember

    We could not be happier that we booked Wayde to officiate our recent wedding. My husband had actually selected Wayde to be our officiant before we even got engaged after seeing him perform another ceremony. This just goes to show you how personable he is and the amazing touches he adds in to any wedding ceremony.

    With having our wedding initially booked in 2020 he was extremely flexible and understanding as we went through the postponement/rescheduling process. Wayde took the time to get to know us on a personal level, especially through our pre-marital preparation classes with him, and that truly came out during the ceremony. He made us feel so comfortable throughout the classes with him and the planning process and even made great suggestions that we were able to incorporate on our big day. After our wedding we got numerous compliments about Wayde and how fantastic and engaging the ceremony was. We would highly recommend booking Wayde, especially since this part of your big day is the most important.

    Personable and professional officiant

    We’re really glad we booked Wayde to be our officiant for our recent wedding at the Orlando Science Center. He was a great officiant -- we were looking for someone who was personable, relaxed, and easygoing, and with his experience, personality, and professionalism he provided us exactly that. In the planning stages, we had talked with him about the ceremony being “heartfelt but lighthearted,” and on the wedding day he absolutely captured this. Many of our guests commented after the ceremony about how wonderful and meaningful the ceremony was. We highly recommend going with Wayde as an officiant!

    Amazing service

    We are so happy that we hired Wayde to do our wedding ceremony. He was professional, punctual, funny and overall a fantastic officiant!

    He made our ceremony easy and fun. All of our guests loved what he said.
    I would hesitate to hire Wayde for your upcoming wedding!

    Literally Amazing

    Wayde was probably the best decision we made in our wedding planning! He came highly recommended from a Facebook group I was in and my word... did it pay off! He made us feel so comfortable and it was like gaining a friend! Everyone loved him from our ceremony and we have upcoming friends weddings who are now looking to book him as well. He makes a point to get to know you to ensure the best of the couple come out in the ceremony. If you're on the fence about who to use as your officiant, make sure to book Wayde!!!!

    When I say Wayde is the best, I mean Wayde is the BEST. Not only did my guests think we knew him personally because of the way he spoke about us, but he was comical and sincere throughout. We give Wayde our absolute highest recommendation!

    Just perfect

    Wayde did a fantastic job helping us prepare for the big step we'd be taking in our lives. His ceremony, which was heart-felt and engaged the audience, received rave reviews from guests. The ceremony is the most meaningful part of your wedding; don't entrust it to someone who won't take the time to get to know you and understand the nature of your relationship. Not only did Wayde do that, he actually got us talking about our marriage in ways we never even thought of ourselves. Everything went perfectly and we would recommend him to anyone.

    Best Officiant

    Wayde was amazing! We did not do our own vows and had a non denominational ceremony, and he was still able to make our ceremony personal and beautiful. He is very confident and did not read from his notes, he spoke freely and from his heart. All our guests loved him and we had a few guests tell us it was the best ceremony they had attended. I would highly recommend Wayde for your wedding.

    Wayde was a rock star!

    Wayde was amazing! Our friends and family kept coming up to us after the ceremony to say how amazing they thought Wayde was. We wanted a simple, light hearted ceremony and that is exactly what we got! We laughed, we cried and we were so appreciative of the kind and thoughtful things Wayde said during our ceremony. He even made sure to step aside a couple of times during the ceremony so our photographer could get pictures of just the two of us at the alter. He took the lead on our rehearsal and made sure everyone was comfortable for the big day. You will not be disappointed with hiring Wayde.

    Having Wayde perform our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! He did an amazing job at matching the service to our style and energy, it truly felt personalized. Our guests were so impressed and we hard countless times over how people loved what he said. Don't look further than Wayde! Seriously, you won't regret it.

    Amazing officiant

    Wayde was amazing. Not only did he do an amazing job as an Officiant, but he also helped our DJ during the wedding when he had a last minute emergency!

    If you're looking for an Officiant that is responsive, helpful, resourceful, and calm under pressure, look no further than Wayde!

    Wayde was a pleasure to deal with and true professional!

    A beautiful and memorable ceremony

    We had already seen Wayde perform a ceremony before hiring him for ours so we already had an idea of what to expect. As anticipated, he did a great job combining the spiritual, romantic and fun loving aspects we were looking for in our ceremony. We received lots of glowing feedback from our guests. Wayde is personable and made both my husband and I feel comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire process of planning as well as during our ceremony. We were so happy to have him share in our day and would recommend his services to another looking to get hitched!!

    Most memorable ceremony ever

    I can’t say enough great things about Wayde and the positive impact he had on our wedding day. Almost every guest who attending our wedding made a point to say how awesome our Officiant was. Our wedding planner recommended Wayde for our ceremony and we were not disappointed. We first met with Wayde a few weeks before the big day to discuss our ideas. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and asked a series of questions to understand how he was going to structure the ceremony. He was open to our ideas and when I told him I hoped to have my sisters give a reading, he offered tons of options for me to choose from. He also gave us advice for writing our vows. On wedding day, Wayde made my now husband and I feel so comfortable standing up there in front of everyone through his calming yet powerful presence and hilarious sense of humour. He had us as well as our guests laughing several times and his words were so memorable and applicable to our marriage. I actually had a few people ask for his information after the ceremony because he was so good. I honestly could go on and on. Look no further for your officiant - Wayde is the best.

    Couldn't have asked for a better Officiant!

    Wayde was so great from the first time we met him. He was the first officiant we met with and it was a done deal right away. He is personable and fun and made the whole process such a breeze.

    During our rehearsal, he went as far as choreographing our bridal party to make sure we had a beautiful entrance.

    Our ceremony was amazing. He had the right amount of humour, words of wisdom, and things to think about. All of our guests raved about how great he was.

    During our rehearsal he had told us that when we leave our ceremony we head straight to the bridal suite and close the door (our maid of honour and best man to guard the door). It was so we could have some time to ourselves, our first moments as husband and wife with no one but each other. It was the best advice and recommendation he could have given us because we were able let it all sink in, just the two of us.

    From the beginning, to the end, Wayde was fantastic and I would recommend everyone to consider his services!

    Our July 20th Wedding.

    It was such a pleasure meeting Wayde! We loved his honesty and professionalism, he gave us plenty of wedding tips and advice prior to our big day. Our wedding ceremony aboard "The Oriole" was made memorable by Wayde's kind words, sense of humor (a key factor in why we chose him!) and our symbolic "tying of the knot" hand fastening ceremony. Not a dry eye on the boat deck! We think EVERY guest left with some Wayde's words of wisdom and could relate to what was said in their day-to-day relationships. Thank you for the wonderful memories! ♡

    Wayde was the perfect choice

    Wayde was very accommodating to our specific needs. He was very friendly and professional throughout the entire process of planning and the performing of the ceremony. He made us feel extremely relaxed.

    Wayde was a perfect part of our wonderful wedding experience. We would whole heartedly recommend Wayde to anyone looking for an officiant.

    The ONLY Officiant you should even consider!

    Hiring Wayde was, in short, one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. He is knowledgable, experienced and made the leap into marriage seem less overwhelming by outlining key strategies to set us up for success.
    Not only did the pre-marital courses add a substantial value but we got dozens and dozens of compliments from our guests on the ceremony performed by Wayde.
    I would be remiss if I did not INSIST you hire him. You won't regret it.

    Look no further!

    Hiring Wayde as our Officiant was our best choice! We didn't even consider anyone else after reading all the reviews before and boy are we ever so glad we chose him. He is so genuine, welcoming, and so, so funny! Wayde will guide you through the entire wedding process (from the legal and ceremonial aspect) and send you friendly reminder e-mails to make sure you are on track. During my vows, I started to get a little emotional and Wayde was right there, telling me it was okay, he pulled a joke and helped me gain my composure before I went on to say the remaining of my vows. Afterward, we got so many compliments from our guests on how funny and wonderful he was! Wayde is the only Officiant you should consider for your wedding!

    Amazing officiant!

    Wayde did an fantastic job and was so easy and fun to work with. His pre-marital sessions taught me and my husband so much about ourselves and each other. He helped set a solid foundation for a successful marriage. At the ceremony, he captivated our guests with his heartfelt words and his delivery. We received so much compliments on how well the ceremony was performed. Hiring Wayde was the easiest and best decision we made during the wedding process and would recommend him to anyone. He is incredible at what he does!

    Very professional and detailed service.

    The best there is! Truly happy with his service and worth the price. Our ceremony was conducted in a timely manner, and with warm professional attitude. I would recommend anyone who wants great experience to contact you for your service. My husband and I thank you dearly and appreciate all your great advice. Thank you once again for everything.

    Worth every penny!

    Wayde was awesome to work with and truly made our ceremony special! He listened to what we wanted and helped us plan a ceremony that felt sincere and reflective who who we are as a couple. The guests, young and old, were raving about the ceremony! We also did pre-marital counselling with Wayde and found it to be extremely valuable; we would definitely recommend it. If you're considering hiring Wayde, you absolutely won't regret it!

    Absolutely perfect !!

    From our first emails, Wayde was super easy to work with and created a great connection right from the start. He provided such a beautiful ceremony. He captured our personalities and the love we have for one another perfectly. This just set the tone for the rest of our wedding. Many of our guests told us how much they loved the ceremony and how great Wayde was. I will be sure to suggest him to friends or family that may be looking for an officiant!

    An amazing professional

    We could not wish for a better officiant than Wayde. He was very professional and well organized. He was flexible and worked with our crazy schedule. Most important he was dependable and reliable answering all our questions and making our ceremony exactly how we invisioned.It was a blessing and honour to have him perform our ceremony.
    Thanks Wayde for making our day as special and unique as it was.

    Dream wedding

    Professional, very responsive and values what you truly want for your day. Very knowledgeable and straight forward when it comes to destination pros and cons. Our wedding was like a dream come true thanks to Wayde. Down to a simple description that i had no idea he was paying attention to from a dream I had. He made sure all the boxes were checked. Wayde will now become my permanent vacation planner. He is amazing! Sheldon and I thank you so much. Our guests loved you.

    Perfect Balance of a concise, humorous, and yet deeply impactful ceremony

    Wayde delivered a wonderful ceremony that had more than half our guests complimenting us, and asking where we found him. We requested that he keep it short but meaningful, and tailor it to our personalities and our style, and Wayde did exactly that. The entire ceremony was over within 15-20 minutes, and was equal parts great advice tailored for our relationship and jokes that had our friends and family in stitches.

    Wayde is able to deliver such a great ceremony because he takes the time up front to get to know you, ask questions about what you want in your ceremony, and then draw from a huge pool of stories, jokes, and advice to provide just the right experience that will make your wedding worth remembering. He is also great at tweaking his material and responding to events in real time... For example, our ring box came with a little blue light inside that turned on whenever the box was opened. When Wayde and the crowd saw the light, he immediately went, "wow, show me that box again? That box is blingin!! I've done tons of weddings but I've never seen that before!" The crowd loved it! Another example: when I went to take my bride by the hand and lead her up to the altar, in my nervous state I almost leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek. It was barely a flinch, but Wayde picked up on it and immediately went, "whoa no kissing yet, you two!" It turned what could've been an awkward moment into a hilarious one, and really helped set the tone for the rest of the ceremony.

    He also helps guide you through the process of registering for a marriage license, and then offers to hang on to it till the wedding day so you have one less thing to worry about. The day of the wedding, he came by early and met with the wedding party and immediate family, and even walked us through exactly how we should stand, who would say what, and how things would happen.

    I cannot recommend Wayde enough for the amazing ceremony he put together for us. I feel fairly confident in saying that of all the weddings we've been to, there hasn't been a single officiant who did as great a job as Wayde (even including the fact that I might be biased because it was my own wedding).

    An Amazing Celebrant

    We had the best experience with Wayde. Starting from the pre-wedding sessions that we had, he was so flexible about fitting in Skype sessions with us from New Zealand and taking the time to guide us through them. On the day of the ceremony, ourselves and our guests were all blown away by the thoughtful and sometimes humorous words that he spoke and the tone that he set for our wedding. We had so many people telling us it was the best ceremony they had attended. Wayde is definitely your guy!

    The experience was more than we could have imagined. Wayde was deliberate with his words during our ceremony - it was so memorable our guests commented on how great he was -- he speaks from his heart and helps you put the process and ceremony in perspective. Thank you Wayde!

    Wayde was the best and he really cares about you as a couple

    We met Wayde at the Deer Creek Wedding show and developed a rapport with him right away. We had talked to other Officiants as well but didn't feel they could communicate our wedding ceremony in a way that would accurately represent who we are as individuals and as a couple. Wayde understood who we are and what we wanted right away and we felt comfortable and at ease each time we met with him right up to our big day where he guided us through our nerves to a beautifully executed ceremony. We were very happy with Wayde's service and professionalism, we now consider him a friend and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who is willing to work with them to make sure their special day is everything they had imagined.

    Simply Perfect

    The moment I spoke with Wayde on the phone during our initial consultation, I knew that he was exactly what my fiance and I were looking for in an officiant. Respectful of your beliefs, courteous, warm, organized, a true believer in love and marriage, and the best of all, hilarious. He doesn't regurgitate ceremony speeches that you'd find on Google, he gets to know you and your partner and crafts a beautiful ceremony that truly represents your relationship. When Wayde speaks, he speaks with conviction, passion, honesty and confidence, which kept every single one of our wedding guests engaged and hanging on his every word during the ceremony. I had so many guests compliment Wayde and ask me for his information after the ceremony, which is definitely indicative of how well he was liked by all. I highly, highly recommend Wayde and cannot praise him enough.

    The Perfect Officiant!

    Wayde is amazing! We couldn't be happier with the service and ceremony. He listened to our needs, provided us with our to do list, and kept the guests intrigued. The number one compliment we received on our wedding day was in regards to our ceremony. Many of our guests ask for Wayde's information to pass along to other friends and family who were getting married.

    100% Recommend Wayde to anyone looking for an officiant.
    Thank you Wayde,

    There is not enough words to express how amazing he is. We loved the wedding ceremony and everyone complimented us on how much they truly loved it too. He was relatable, professional, funny and would definitely reccomend him!

    Wayde is the best!

    I can't recommend Wayde enough - he made our ceremony so heartfelt and funny at the same time, he was literally the talk of our wedding! Every guest told us how awesome he was, how it was the best ceremony they had every witnessed and wishing that he had business cards so they could pass them on! He personalized everything to our tastes (he even asks if you would like him to wear any particular colour tie! So detailed!) and truly made our day feel so special. I am a really private and shy person and we didn't do what Wayde calls "love notes" (telling your future spouse how much you loved them before you say your vows) and opted for the traditional vows so I was a bit worried that I wouldn't have the "emotionally charged" and personal ceremony that I was really hoping for - but Wayde really made it happen (and I'm sure both of us crying through the whole thing also helped, happy tears I assure you!)

    We met with Wayde 4 times before our wedding - once to hire him, once to finalize the details of our ceremony and twice to do some pre-marital counselling which he offers as well. We still have one more session to do since we couldn't fit it in before our wedding day, but I also highly recommend this additional service, Wayde really helps you focus on the marriage part of your wedding, at least for a few hours in the really hectic time leading up to your wedding day and he gives incredible advice.

    If you're thinking of hiring Wayde at all, don't hesitate! He is incredible at what he does and you will not regret it. Thank you again Wayde!

    Choosing an officiant for your wedding is a pretty big decision, however as soon as we spoke to Wayde we knew he was the best man for the job! He truly made our ceremony perfect! And we had so many of our guests talking about how amazing he was after the ceremony! He is truly an unbelievable guy and will make your wedding perfect!

    10/10 highly recommend!

    Wayde was everything we were looking for in an officiant and more! He was patient and provided lots of ideas in terms of how our ceremony could run. We received lots of amazing feedback from our guests saying how his words of wisdom applied to not only the couple getting married, but to already-married, dating, and single individuals!

    Thanks for a fabulous and joyful experience Weddings By Wayde



    My wife and I utilized the services of Weddings By Wayde for our premarital counseling, wedding officiant and travel agent for our honeymoon getaway. My wife and I are happy that we took advantage of the pre-marital counseling sessions offered by Weddings By Wayde. The sessions reinforced that we were ready for the big step to get married. It was a fantastic experience as it allowed my wife (then fiancée) and I to continue growing as a couple. Wayde was a pleasure to interact with, his professionalism and expertise were exemplary.
    As our wedding officiant, Wayde performed a very thoughtful, fun and vivid wedding ceremony. My wife and I were extremely pleased with the ceremony; feedback from our guest were all positive as Wayde hit all the pertinent points.
    We also utilized Weddings By Wayde as our travel agent to search and reserve our honeymoon getaway. He found a fantastic getaway spot in the Bahamas within our budget.
    My wife and I had a fabulous experience on all fronts. Wayde was a joy to interact with as he made us feel relax and comfortable from the first introduction.

    Wayde was incredible, from beginning to end. If you are looking for an officiant and have come across Mr. Wayde Salmon, stop searching and have him share in the moment with you!! Wayde has the ability to capture yours and your guests attention from start to finish with his words of advice, storytelling, and light humour throughout. Our guests can not stop talking about him and say that it was the best ceremony they have ever been to! Wayde, we can not put into words how thankful we are for being a part of our special day :D

    "Your officiant was amazing!" - Reviews from all my wedding guests

    Wayde’s delivery of my ceremony far exceeded my expectations. From the beginning, he was approachable, friendly, and had a great sense of humour. He takes the time to get all the details, personalizes the ceremony to ensure your vision comes to life, and always there to help with any questions or concerns. Wayde also has some great connections for travel and décor. Everything Wayde said at my ceremony was both genuine and sincere, and spoke to my husband and I.

    Wayde was amazing. We're so glad we entrusted such an important moment to him. Our guests cannot stop talking about how great he was! He really took time to speak to us on a personal level and it was clear its not all about the money for him. Thank you so much Wayde!

    Wayde was extremely informative, kind and down to earth. He's a fantastic people person and very punctual. He worked with our schedules and was literally on call for us a week before our wedding. He is also very knowledgeable in the wedding industry so that was extremely helpful. I'm so happy we found an officiant like him! He gave us the ceremony we were looking for!

    Best Officiant

    Wayde met with us via zoom twice prior to the wedding to get to know us better as a couple and that really made a difference. He listened to our wants and needs for the ceremony and executed with perfection. All of our guests commented on his services after the wedding and how impressed they were. Highly recommend.

    The Best Officiant You'll Find!

    Wayde was very professional and relatable. A lot of our wedding guests were telling us he was great and did an excellent job with our ceremony. My Husband and I also did premarital counseling with Wayde. We've known each other for 16 years and we still learned so much about one another during the sessions. I would highly recommend everyone do the sessions with Wayde, no matter how well you think you know your significant other. We're very grateful for Wayde helping us to grow even closer and understand each other better so we know how to work as a team going into marriage.

    Wonderful Experience

    My husband and I chose Wayde to officiate our wedding based on wedding wire ratings/reviews and a Skype chat with him. I can confidently say we have made the right choice. Wayde was accommodating, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We appreciated the counseling sessions prior to our wedding as it helped us understand each other better and be able to better meet each other’s needs. Our ceremony was customized to reflect both of our beliefs and values. Wayde did an amazing job with the ceremony and we received many compliments from friends and family.

    A perfect ceremony with Wayde

    Working with Wayde was an absolute honour and pleasure, and we would not hesitate to work with him again, or to recommend him to friends. He is an incredibly kind, genuine and generous individual, and that really shone through in the service that he performed for our wedding. Both my fiance and I were a bit nervous about this process, as it is a very personal moment to trust to a stranger, and that nervousness went away once we met Wayde! In both of our pre-wedding planning meetings with him, he made us feel comfortable, he listened to what we wanted and also helped us make decisions where we were unsure. He also provided great guidance on writing our own vows, which we appreciated.

    The ceremony itself was absolute perfect. All of our guests, irrespective of religious background or affiliation, were incredibly moved by Wayde's words. My dad in fact said that the advice Wayde shared was still something he wanted and needed to hear after 37 years of marriage. We've had numerous requests already (48 hours since the wedding) as to how we found Wayde, and we will absolutely be passing along his info!

    Wayde - thank you so much for making the ceremony so special! It truly made our day and is something we will remember forever.
