🇨🇦 Founded in Ontario to create change in the world.

About

Togetherness Collective was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create meaningful connections that transform lives. Founded in 2018 by Jeff Maeck after more than five years of careful planning and preparation, our organisation has grown into a vibrant community of like-minded individuals who share core values of kindness, humility, and compassion.

At the intersection of exceptional wedding ceremonies and meaningful community service, we’ve created something unique in Ontario: a collective that celebrates life’s most significant moments while actively working to strengthen the communities we serve.

Who We Are

Togetherness Collective is a registered religious charity and active religious denomination serving in the province of Ontario (Charitable Registration Number: 728837337RR0001). We are a community of passionate individuals who believe that strong marriages create strong families, and strong families create strong communities.

Our approach is intentionally countercultural—we focus on excellence, deep relationships, and lasting impact rather than volume or profit. We believe this approach better serves couples, communities, and our members alike.

Our Founder

Meet Jeff, the founder of Togetherness Collective. With experience officiating more than 1,500 weddings across Canada and internationally—from intimate gatherings with just a few guests to grand celebrations with hundreds of attendees, from ceremonies on private islands to weddings involving helicopters and chartered boats—Jeff brings unparalleled expertise to our collective.

His dual background in ministry across Canada and Central America and his extensive experience as a wedding officiant created the perfect foundation for Togetherness Collective. Jeff leads our training programmes and serves as a mentor to our members, sharing his wisdom and passion for crafting exceptional wedding ceremonies.

“Throughout my journey, I’ve been blessed to witness the transformative power of love up close. Togetherness Collective emerged from the sacred intersection of faith and ceremony—a divine collision that creates ripples of beauty, healing, and connection that extend far beyond the wedding day, nurturing both couples and communities for generations to come.” – Jeff, founder, Togetherness Collective
