Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant

t to know us, made the entire process stress-free, and truly listened to what mattered most to us. One of the things that meant the world to us was how thoughtfully he included my stepchildren in every part of the ceremony. It wasn’t just a wedding—it was the coming together of a family—and he honored that beautifully. His words were heartfelt, inclusive, and full of intention. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in every detail. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding with care, warmth, and professionalism, look no further. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Truly unforgettable! If I had to do everything over again I would 100% use Ewan every time.

he search for a professional, thinking that it would mean sacrificing the tenderness or the heartfelt bond that a close friend could bring... and boy were we wrong. We found Ewan almost immediately, and let me tell you – he was an absolute godsend and made our ceremony more magical than I could have hoped! From the initial call, to the planning stages, and to the ceremony itself, Ewan had us feeling COMPLETELY at ease and so taken care of. He is so kind, so warm, and was just the best energy to have around during an otherwise stressful time. So many of our guests told us the ceremony was their absolute favorite part of our wedding, and this was something I truly didn't expect! It was so warm, so unique, and so "us". The way we were able to hand tailor this experience and make our friends and family feel so included (with Ewan's helpful insight and leadership), I most definitely cannot imagine a better wedding ceremony for my husband and I. Ewan, we are so so grateful! You are the best!

He listened to our (wild) ideas and somehow wove them into a seamless experience — with a “social‑media minute” for guests to snap pics, rock‑paper‑scissors to decide who’d read vows first, and the sweetest moment where we promised forever to our dog. The ceremony was fun, playful, intentional, and personalized to our love story — but never gimmicky. He kept the mood light while honoring the gravity of the day. He delivered a ceremony that had guests laughing, tearing up, and later raving that it was the best ceremony they’d ever witnessed. Even guests who were concerned about us not having a traditional church ceremony were FLOORED by Ewan and said he was absolutely perfect and so meaningful. And he wasn’t just great on the day. Leading up to it, he guided us with calm, encouraging words. He made us and all our guests feel at ease. I even ran into him one day at a coffee shop right after booking and he dropped what he was doing to greet me with such warmth and love! If you want a ceremony that feels 100 percent “you” and leaves every generation smiling, book Ewan. He gave us memories we’ll treasure forever.

e made our beach ceremony absolutely perfect! It was as magical as we dreamed it would be. Thank you so much, Ewan!
