The Funny Officiant

“The Funny Officiant”

There’s nothing worse than a long, boring, stale ceremony that doesn’t fit your vibe as a couple and has your friends and family just hoping for it to end as soon as possible. The self proclaimed “Funny Officiant” Nathan Grieve is a licensed, inclusive, professional Wedding Officiant with many years of experience in the wedding industry as an emcee and celebrant. He will use his “quick witted humour”, “old lady squish his chubby cheeks charm” and what his mom calls his “sparkling personality” to help make your wedding ceremony EXACTLY what you want it to be.

Wedding Rehearsals

Rehearsals

Practice? We’re talkin’ bout practice? Some couples want to just wing it and hope for the best, while others want to have every moment practiced and prepared. If your venue allows for a rehearsal and you want to be prepared, I’d love to be there to run it for you and go over all of the transitions, timings and do’s & don’ts for your wedding ceremony.

Legal Ceremonies

Legal Signings

This is a short ceremony (usually between 5 to 10 minutes) focused solely on signing the papers and getting you legally married. Typically it’s just about the paperwork and making it legal in the eyes of the Ontario government, and not about any fanfare surrounding the day. It can be done in your home, a coffee shop, a park or wherever your heart so desires (within reason of course)

Full Ceremonies

Full Ceremonies

Traditional wedding ceremonies are perfect for the classic couple who want a more conventional celebration. The welcome, the exchange of vows and rings, signing the registry and then the smooch, you can make it as traditional as you like, fun or romantic, religious or non-religious, whatever you can dream up, I can make that happen.

“I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once-in-a-lifetime love.”

Nathan was truly a dream. He presented a ceremony that was unforgettable and had everyone talking about it the whole night. He truly went above and beyond to execute the perfect ceremony for my husband and I. His humour had us laughing during the ceremony which helped calm the nerves of being center of attention. We both couldn’t recommend Nathan more to anyone that’s looking for an officiant. Trust me he’s the one to pick!

We booked Nate for our October 2 2026 wedding. We knew we wanted our ceremony to be anything but boring, and Nate delivered. From our initial call we knew he would bring the energy and jokes, which is refreshing from the typical ceremony you see. His planning site is easy to use, and allows you to customize the ceremony script to whatever you would like. We liked this flexibility to allow some personal touches to come through. He was extremely responsive when emails with questions were sent. He was especially helpful running us through what the ceremony timeline would be, telling us who would stand where and giving tips for preparing our wedding party as best as possible. It was reassuring to know that the ceremony part of the day was taken care of by a talented and reliable officiant! Everyone we talked to only had positive things to say about his work. We would 100% recommend you book Nate for your wedding officiant!! <3 Ang and Dylan

We couldn't have chosen a better officiant for our wedding. I met Nathan at a wedding show and knew instantly his personality would match ours. Nathan brought the right amount of humor and tears to our ceremony. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Nathan for such a great job.

Nathan officiated our wedding at Wren House by Stella this past weekend and he did a fantastic job. He is so personable, funny, and easy to work with. Immediately after the ceremony guests were coming up to us to tell us how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Would definitely recommend Nathan to others!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Nathan! Since our wedding, we have heard nothing but compliments from our family, friends, and wedding party about what an incredible job he did. He was so well spoken, warm, funny, and genuine, and he created the perfect balance of heartfelt and lighthearted throughout our ceremony. What made Nathan especially amazing was his attention to all of the little details. He wasn’t just focused on delivering the ceremony—he was quietly making sure everything and everyone around us knew exactly what to do. My Maid of Honour even told me afterward how much she appreciated him. When she handed off her flowers before we went to sign the marriage licence, Nathan tapped her on the shoulder and told her to bring them along so they could be placed on the signing table for the photos. He then guided everyone around the front afterward so I didn’t have to move unnecessarily, and even made sure our Maid of Honour and Best Man knew exactly when to walk back down the aisle. These were such small moments that Nick and I didn’t even notice at the time, but hearing about them afterward showed us just how thoughtful, organized, and attentive he was. He made everything feel effortless, which allowed us to simply be present and enjoy one of the most important moments of our lives. Our ceremony felt completely like us—meaningful, relaxed, full of love, and with just the right amount of humour. Nathan, thank you for playing such an important role in our wedding day and for making our ceremony so incredibly special. We are beyond grateful that you were the person standing up there with us as we became husband and wife. We would recommend you a thousand times over. 🤍

How do I even start! From the minute we met Nathan, we knew he needed to be our officiant. He made us laugh, cry (in the best way), and, most importantly, officially married! Nathan paid such great attention to detail, picking up little bits of information from our everyday conversations and incorporating them into a ceremony that truly felt like us. The entire process was so seamless, organized, and enjoyable from start to finish. But beyond all of that, what really stood out was how many of our guests commented on how funny, genuine, and fantastic Nathan was. He brought such a great energy to our ceremony and made the whole experience even more special. We couldn’t recommend Nathan enough!
