FOR ME, EVERY WEDDING AND EVERY COUPLE IS SPECIAL!
 I'm so delighted you're planning your wedding in Bowmanville and I look forward to officiating for you. I carefully listen to your vision for a Civil or Christian wedding and help you design a wedding ceremony that is truly yours -- a wedding that lives up to your hopes and dreams. As an officiant registered to officiate Ontario weddings for more than 30 years, I provide highest quality officiating with warmth, good humour and ease. I offer a variety of officiating packages described below. 
Pay only for the officiating services you use.  

Having grown up in a divorced family situation, I understand the complexities of life, yet, on the basis of 40 years of happy marriage, I celebrate love from a full cup. I aspire to wedding ceremonies remembered with delight.   "Rev. Ray Cross embodies everything an officiant should - gentleness, sense of humour, with seriousness fitting the occasion. He also makes the couples feel at complete ease."  —  Claudia Kent, WPICC, DWC, Wedding Planner
