Brides Choice Officiant is the wedding-officiant service presented by Rev. Ray Cross. For couples searching for an Oshawa wedding officiant, the official website describes ceremony options ranging from a customized wedding to smaller weekday formats, alongside ceremony-planning resources and direct contact details.

The official website currently says it is not accepting bookings until further notice. That notice is the key practical consideration: the business identity and contact details are confirmed, but couples should ask Ray directly whether their date can be considered before relying on any published package, price or availability expectation.

Business overview

Last reviewed: August 12, 2026. Brides Choice Officiant is presented on its official website as the service of Officiant Rev. Ray Cross. The site consistently identifies Brides Choice Officiant, Ray Cross and wedding ceremonies, establishing the current official identity for this CWG profile.

The official contact page lists ray@brideschoiceofficiant.com and 905-404-9920. No street or mailing address appears on the official pages reviewed. Although the website describes one small ceremony option as taking place at the officiant’s home, it does not publish the address, so no postal address is included in this profile.

Services and specialization

The official site describes ceremonies as non-religious, religious, cultural or humorous. Its Personalized Wedding Ceremony package includes full customizing capability and support, access to the Bride’s Candy Store resources, two personal meetings, telephone and email consulting, and completion and registration of marriage documents.

The website also publishes a Sweet & Simple Weekday Ceremony and a You-Plus-Two Wedding. The Sweet & Simple format is described as a meaningful ceremony at a location chosen by the couple, while You-Plus-Two is described as simple and discreet for the couple and two witnesses. The site explains that its simplified formats involve less officiant time and do not include pre-ceremony planning meetings, customization or access to the ceremony before the wedding.

Bride’s Candy Store content listed on the site includes non-religious and religious ceremony material, Filipino, Jewish and Muslim ceremonies, a deaf sign-language ceremony, wedding music resources, readings, ways of involving children and renewal-of-vows material. These are published resources, not a guarantee of availability for a particular ceremony.

Service area and who it may suit

This existing CWG profile is filed under Oshawa, and the official home page itself references Oshawa. The published package descriptions say the first 20 km of travel is free, with a per-kilometre charge beyond that distance. However, the official pages reviewed do not define a current service boundary, base point for travel or list of cities served.

The published formats may be relevant to couples who want to discuss a personalized ceremony and use planning materials, or who are looking at a smaller weekday ceremony. The site also encourages personally written vows for its Sweet & Simple and You-Plus-Two formats. Because of the current no-bookings notice, a couple should first confirm that enquiries and bookings are being accepted for their exact date and venue.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the clearly differentiated ceremony structure on the official site. Couples can compare a customized package with simplified options, and the site states which planning and customization elements are excluded from the lower-involvement formats. It also publishes a substantial range of ceremony-development resources, including material for several ceremony styles and traditions.

The most important limitation is current availability. The official home page states that bookings are not being accepted until further notice, without giving a reopening date. The reviewed official pages also do not publish a street address, a live availability calendar, a complete service-area boundary or current contract terms. Those gaps are practical items to verify rather than indications of a negative service experience.

Confirmed feature: customized and simplified ceremony choices.
Confirmed feature: published ceremony-planning resources.
Practical limitation: booking availability is currently paused.
Practical limitation: address, full service area and contract terms are not published on the reviewed pages.

Pricing

Pricing is explicitly published on the official home page. The Personalized Wedding Ceremony is listed at $450. The Sweet & Simple Weekday Ceremony is listed at $320, and the You-Plus-Two Wedding is listed at $220. The business says its prices are subject to change but are locked in at booking.

The site lists a Monday-to-Thursday rehearsal at $150 plus travel, a Friday rehearsal at $250 plus travel, and a processional coordinator at $150 with no extra travel charge. For the personalized and Sweet & Simple packages, the first 20 km of travel is listed as free, followed by 75 cents per km. The You-Plus-Two description also lists charges for extra guests and witnesses if needed. Confirm all figures directly if booking availability resumes.

Personalized Wedding Ceremony: $450 published.
Sweet & Simple Weekday Ceremony: $320 published.
You-Plus-Two Wedding: $220 published.
Travel, rehearsal, witness and coordinator terms may change the total.

Contact and booking

The official contact page asks couples to provide their wedding date and time, venue name and address, names, and phone number. It lists Ray@brideschoiceofficiant.com and says couples may text or phone 905-404-9920.

Given the home-page booking notice, contact should be treated as an availability check first. Ask whether the pause has ended, whether the proposed date and venue are being considered, and whether the relevant package information remains current. A published package page is not confirmation of a booking or service availability.

What couples should confirm

Before making arrangements around Brides Choice Officiant, confirm whether bookings have resumed and whether Ray is available at the chosen venue on the intended date. If availability is confirmed, request the current package price, travel calculation, payment schedule, deposit, cancellation terms and the exact ceremony inclusions in writing.

For a Sweet & Simple or You-Plus-Two ceremony, confirm the current day and time eligibility, location arrangements, witness requirements and whether planning meetings, ceremony review or customization are included. Couples considering a rehearsal should confirm its cost, travel charge, timing and whether the processional-coordinator service remains available. For cultural, religious, sign-language or renewal-of-vows elements, ask what can be supported for the specific ceremony.
