On the day of, you brought fun and laughter into the ceremony and your Dr. Seuss quote resonated with us perfectly.
I want to personally thank you for having the tissues on stand-by for when my emotions got the best of me. You went above and beyond!
5 stars !
Jeffrey and Stephani
Jim McDowall is an absolutely incredible. You can tell from just a quick conversation or e-mail that his personally goes beyond just being your officiant. He is caring, organized, mindful, punctual, hilarious and a down to earth person. He was very helpful with the planning of our wedding before, and on the day of he knocked it out of the park. If you want to feel extra special, really have someone memorable to help capture that moment forever in your memory, Jim is 100% your man.
Nicole & Mike
Very professional and down to earth. We were very comfortable and felt we could be ourselves during the entire process. Jim was well organized and showed up on time, we did not have to worry about a thing!
Greg & Emily
We enjoyed working with you immensely! You are very knowledgeable, professional, easy to talk to and made us feel really comfortable. The ceremony was EXACTLY what we wanted, you kept us and the guests relaxed and added some humour to keep us calm so we ( me) could express our vows to each other without balling my eyes out! You made our ceremony so special and we will always be grateful!
Natalie and Jamie
Jim was absolutely amazing! We were so happy to have him as part of our special day. He exceeded our expectations! Thank you Jim! amazing! We were so happy to have him as part of our special day. He exceeded our expectations! Thank you Jim!
Whitney and John
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jim. Not only did he truly listen to our requests about keeping the ceremony completely non-religious, but he also personalized the whole ceremony suited to us. We are so focused on being a team and equality as a couple and Jim’s words captured our feelings perfectly. He was funny and lighthearted but also made it a very thoughtful and deep experience at the altar. We would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant. Thanks for a beautiful ceremony, Jim!
Teresa and Adam
Jim was not only an amazing officiant on our special day but also an amazing person. The weather was terrible right before our ceremony and Jim helped to get everything ready so we could get things off on time without any issues. Jim takes the time to get to know you as a couple and helps walk you through the process beginning to end. We feel so lucky to have met Jim at the wedding show and even luckier to have had him be a part of wedding.
Lauren and John
Jim McDowall was our officiant for our wedding this past September, and we couldn’t have asked for someone who fit our vision more. When we first met with Jim, his kindness and sense of humour made us feel comfortable, and our ceremony planning seemed so much less stressful with him on our team. Thank you Jim for being part of our day and making our ceremony was everything we imagined.
Shealy & Craig
It truly meant a lot to Robert and me that you officiated our wedding.
The ceremony was perfect. We will always remember the kind words you said and how comfortable you made us feel.
It was a fantastic day! We can’t thank you enough.
Yvonne and Robert
The ceremony went very well. We are very glad we chose you to officiate. You knew how to make things flow well
and went above and beyond to help out with the video and everything.
Your personality was perfect for our celebration. Thank you so much for everything.
Laura and Jeff
Our entire experience with Jim was incredible! We wanted a short, fun and relaxed wedding ceremony and he delivered just that! During the planning meetings he was so personable, helpful and informative. When we first met with him we had no idea what we were doing and changed our minds probably 20 times. We wanted our 3 young kids to be involved in every way possible and he gave us some really good ideas to make that happen; including creating a special certificate for them to sign as well. He went so above and beyond for us and gave us so many good suggestions. During our ceremony, we had lots of fun (I basically laughed through the whole thing), and Jim kept it so light and relaxed. He personalized our ceremony for us and even took into account some very last minute requests. We are so happy that we went with Jim as our wedding
officiant. No matter what style of ceremony we wanted, he would have made it happen. We've already suggested him to some other friends who are planning their wedding. Thank you so much again for everything and making our day so special and memorable!
Kristy & Mike
Jim did a great job! We had asked for some special requests for the ceremony and he did it perfect.
He made sure it was presented how we wanted it.
Emily and Bryant
Would like to give a special thank you to Jim McDowall for a wonderful wedding he performed on the beach at Colchester Harbor.
Thelma and Stephen
Jim McDowall was the perfect choice to officiate our wedding ceremony! He was professional, helpful and easy to work with.
Before our wedding, Jim took the time to meet with us and customize the ceremony just the way we wanted.
We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and will definitely recommend Jim to anyone who is getting married.
James and Lacey
Thank you again Jim for our beautiful ceremony. Friends and family continue to compliment us on just how personable, relaxed and intimate our ceremony was.
It was absolutely perfect! We will certainly recommend you for any future weddings we hear about.
Judy and Doug
It truly meant a lot to Bret and I that you officiated our wedding. You and I have known each other for many years and that evening you came by to discuss
the ceremony and I introduced you to Bret; you two spent the next hour discussing the old neighborhood and getting to know one another.
As a result the ceremony was perfect.
We will always remember the kind words and how comfortable you made us feel on a day when we were already excited and anxious.
Thank you Jim!!
Diane and Bret
We were pleased with your presiding at our wedding and how you kept it on track yet adding a little humor.
Thank you for doing a wonderful job.
Anne and Bill
We really can’t say enough good things about Jim. To start with, he was very flexible. We have difficult schedules and Jim was willing to make accommodations for our initial meeting. He was very easy going with a good sense of humor, and was sensitive to our requests. The day of the wedding, Jim made sure to meet with us prior to the ceremony to go over our vows and how the ceremony would proceed, all the while making sure to keep the mood light and free of stress. As for the ceremony, well he met and exceeded our expectations. He was able to cultivate the right mix of solemnity for the occasion with a sense of humor that fit our personalities. Neither my spouse nor I are fond of public speaking, so he helped us through our vows without any awkwardness. The end result was exactly what we were hoping for and more. We had multiple
wedding guests comment on how much they liked how Jim handled the ceremony, with several of them stating that they wished they had known of him when they were planning their wedding. We personally couldn’t be happier with our choice of Jim for our Officiant.
Brigette and Matt
We met with Jim some weeks before the wedding and requested the most quick and painless ceremony possible as we were both rather nervous about the whole marriage ordeal. He delivered with flying colours, always ensuring a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere and keeping smiles on everyone’s faces. Because of this the ceremony flew past and we were happily married in no time! We were very happy with our choice of Officiant and highly recommend Jim to anyone taking the plunge!
thanks again :)
Chantelle and George
Jim will make you feel comfortable from the very first time he says hi, not one bad thing can be said about our ceremony. Jim went along with every request we asked of him. Jim cares about what YOU want your ceremony to be, and nothing else. Jim made our special day so amazing, just an all around great guy. Would definitely recommend Jim to do anyone's ceremony, he helped us through every step of the way. Again thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Amanda and Ken
Thank you so much for the wonderful ceremony.
We really appreciate the time you took to understand our unique requests and make our special day that much better.
Your ability to work with and adapt to our situation clearly showed your experience.
Having our families come from separate continents, some for the first time, was already amazing and your special touch at the very end truly honored us.
You took the time to learn, practice and pronounce one sentence in my native language, a small detail perhaps, but an important one we will never forget.
Thank you again!
Melissa & Sebastian
Thank you so much Jim! you did such an amazing job!
Everyone was extremely happy with how laid back and well you delivered the ceremony!
Thanks again for making our special day perfect!
Tamika & Evan
Jim was excellent from the very first time we met him. He listened to our requests and met every one of them.
Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted. He kept a nervous bride and groom entertained.
Thank you for making our special day all that we could wish for.
Karon & Neil
Jim was great! He helped with our concerns and performed our ceremony as we wanted it.
He went with the flow as we spent most of the ceremony joking around and laughing,
as well as when we had to change our ceremony location due to the weather.
Jacqueline & Justin
You did such a great job that day that Anthony and I would like to say thank you again.
You we're wonderful and easy going and did what I was hoping for.
Much appreciated.
Minh & Anthony
Jim is the consummate professional. From our initial meeting to meeting before our big day we were so happy to have Jim as our Officiant. He incorporated several of our family members into the ceremony and kept with what we wanted and was excellent to work with.
It was beautiful and what we wanted from day one. Highly Recommended.
Kerri & Armand

It meant so much to us to be able to personsonalize our vows and ceremony!
It was just as we had always dreamed!
Thanks for doing such a great job.
Ashtyn & Ryan
Jim was great and accommodated our wedding needs flawlessly. We had a very casual ceremony and from the first time we met with him, he understood completely what we wanted. He kept it short and sweet and made a very stage shy bride feel at ease. Thank you again, Jim!
Jessica and Nick
Jim made our wedding day truly fun and so easy. From our pre-wedding meetings he found out exactly what we wanted and made it happen. We wanted a fun ceremony with a lot of laughs and it turned out perfect. Everyone still tells us it was the best ceremony ever! Thanks a million Jim!
Amy and Andy
What a great job you did for us on our wedding day. Our ceremony was memorable as were you.
The time -you spent with us prior to the wedding impressed us, as our story was not a short one to tell.
You took the information you gathered that night and presented not only Doug and I with a superb ceremony,
but our guests commented on how you "nailed it". In our memories of that day you will always be remembered.
A thousand Thank you for your caring, funny, calming, and serious ways. You were definitely meant to join brides and grooms throughout the land.
Pat and Doug
Jim was amazing to deal with through the whole process. He was able to answer all of our questions we had regarding the ceremony, and helped us relax on what could have been an overwhelming experience. We could not have asked for a better officiant.
We are really happy you performed the ceremony!
Jennifer and Sean
Jim was wonderful to deal with from start to finish. His easy-going attitude and light-hearted humour made for the perfect wedding ceremony for us! I really appreciated him taking the time to answer all of our questions, even after the wedding day. Thanks so much for a great wedding ceremony Jim.
Shaylin and Dan
Jon and I are so pleased that we were able to have Jim be our Officiant.
He recognized our love for each other and was able to make sure our ceremony had all the key details we requested.
We wanted our ceremony to reflect our love, celebrate family unity, and recognize how sacred marriage is.
Jim did all of that. Pointing out to our guests the love we had for one another, having couples hold hands as he blessed our marriage and even incorporating our families with a unity candle and reading.
We appreciate all that Jim did for us in making our wedding day so special.
We felt so comfortable with him from the beginning and we are very happy to have chosen him to be a part of our special day.
Jonathan and Samantha
John and I would like to thank you for doing such an amazing job in June. Your kindhearted words made our ceremony sweet and lighthearted which was exactly what we wanted. You were also able to help us relax which was very helpful.
Thanks again for helping to make our day so special!
Karen and John
From our first meeting, we were both rookies in this whole wedding planning, and when we met you everything clicked and we both felt more than comfortable talking with you. We both felt how genuine you were and how you wanted to make this part of the wedding stress-free and personal. We felt like we were meeting with an old friend each time we met with you, you joked around with us and made our experience with you more than we could have asked for. Our ceremony was a dream come true, you spoke with a heartfelt of knowledge and understanding of who Aron and I are as a couple. You led us through our vows and I do's like we have done them a million times before, we had great comfort knowing you were right there with us, we greatly appreciate your gentle and warm heart making everything lighthearted and fun. You kept it short and sweet and
exactly portrayed who we were becoming together. Our families had the utmost respect for you and how you jumped in whenever you were needed, they all loved when you didn’t hesitate walking my sister back down the aisle, we are all so thankful for everything you did for us and you are a constant reminder of our most magical and unforgettable day!
Faith and Aron
Our wedding day was perfect and Jim made it all that much more special for us. From the planning stages to our wedding day, he answered all our questions and was very flexible with how we wanted our vows. He was humorous and very professional. Couldn't have asked for a better Officiant. Very pleased couple here.
Nikki and Matt
We were so incredibly happy with the ceremony. You made everything so comfortable for us even when I wound up have to walk up the aisle with a baby in my arms. You also brought the perfect amount of humour to the wedding day and kept everyone engaged!
Would gladly recommend you to anyone
Ryanne and Ken
From our first meeting with Jim we knew he was going to be the perfect fit for our wedding day. Jim was so professional and friendly and was totally willing to work with whatever we had envisioned for our ceremony. We wanted a ceremony that reflected our love and our relationship and Jim did that beautifully. He was good humoured and kept us smiling and laughing at all our meetings and our rehearsal, reminding us to enjoy every moment of our special day. Our friends and family all completed what a wonderful job he did and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice to have Jim as our officiant. Sincerely
Heather and Mike
We just wanted to say how much help you were for us on and before our wedding day. Before we had met with you we were worried about what we had to say and how the ceremony was going to happen. Being that neither one of us was married before this was all new to us.
Before the wedding you were very helpful in helping us with the vows and assuring us that the day was going to be awesome. Since our ceremony was outside we were worried that it was going to rain and you assured us that you had large enough umbrella for the 3 of us and that the ceremony was going to take place rain or shine. (We were lucky to get a partly sunny day)
On the day of the wedding you helped in calming me down and assuring me that everything was going to be fine.
You were on time (before us), carried yourself and your voice very good and dressed well. Oh and funny. That helped to ease some stress.
If we had to do it again I would definitely get you to do the ceremony again and I would recommend you to anyone that we know.
Brooke & Janbek
Jim was very professional and added a light hearted feel to an emotional moment! He gave us exactly what we asked for. The ceremony was meaningful but not long and drawn out. The wedding vows were beautiful and endearing. Thanks Jim!
Ashley and Marco
You did a great job for us in helping with the day You have a great sense of humour and that made things more comfortable from the beginning.
Would recommend you anytime.
Thank you again.
Mirjam & Jack
What a wonderful added touch to have you as the Officiant at our wedding.
We so appreciated how you personalized everything just for us and orchestrated the ceremony so it was just perfect!
Thank you!
Linda and Doug
Jim was the perfect officiant for our special day and we couldn't be happier to have gone with him. He was very easy to deal with and even met us at a Tim Hortons down the street from our house to go over what we were looking for in an officiant. He matched our personalities well and easily reflected our sense of humour in his service. Thanks so much for making our special day that much more special Jim; it is a day we will never forget!
Thanks again for everything!!
Alyssa & Ryan
We recently had the pleasure of Jim McDowall of All Seasons Weddings perform our marriage ceremony. It should be recognized that from the beginning Jim made an already overwhelming time easier with his friendly, laid-back, yet organized approach. Our initial meeting was exactly what we had hoped for: A brief, yet detailed conversation with someone who enjoys having a few laughs but understands the weight of his role in uniting you and your partner for life, customizing your experience exactly how you envision. Thank you Jim for giving us our greatest gift, making us husband and wife. Our time with you was short but so very sweet. We will definitely be recommending you to all our family & friends!
Shannon & Chris
We were so happy with our ceremony.
Despite the rain, it turned out beautifully.
Jim was very accommodating. He made meeting up with him, and making decisions regarding the ceremony very easy.
He even incorporated a script we found online that we loved. He is very open and really helped us make our ceremony exactly what we wanted.
Claire and Jeff
I want to thank you for your services, everything went perfectly and exceeded our expectations. You made the experience wonderful and so very special for us. The ceremony was so perfect for us that Garrett actually questioned afterwards if I had hand chosen the Dr. Seuss quote that you chose because it fit us so perfectly! Thank you for helping us to start our lives together.
Marilyn & Garrett
It was a great pleasure working with Jim. He guided us through the entire process from the beginning and covered all the details. He was humorous yet professional as he engaged the audience on our wedding day. Would highly recommend!
Katherine & Carlo
You really helped ease our nerves at the rehearsal and throughout the whole process. You were very organized and accommodated all our requests perfectly. Adding a bit of humour to the ceremony was wonderful and kept everything light hearted and fun. Thank you for everything.
Mike and Brianne
