Hi, I'm Jeff

Hi there! I'm Jeff, the founder of Togetherness Collective, a community I spent over 5 years building that brings together like-minded officiants who share our core values of kindness, humility, and compassion. With experience officiating more than 1,500 weddings across Canada and internationally, I've witnessed the transformative power of love up close. Since forming Togetherness Collective in 2018, we've focused on appointing marriage officiants who craft exceptional ceremonies that help couples not just get married, but stay married. We believe strong marriages create strong families, which in turn build strong communities. I'm excited you found us, and I'll be your guide through this journey!
