Rev. Max Ward Services is associated with Rev. Max Ward in Minden, Ontario. Current first-party evidence comes from Highland Hills United Church, whose official site identifies Rev. Max Ward, B.A., M.Div., and names him as worship leader in a July 2026 service. The church also explicitly includes marriage among the parts of church life open to all persons. This supports the identity match, although the official site does not use the standalone trading name “Rev. Max Ward Services.”

For couples searching for a Minden wedding officiant, the evidence supports a careful first step: contact Highland Hills United Church to ask whether Rev. Max Ward is accepting weddings for the requested date and setting. The official pages confirm his current church role, Minden base and the church’s inclusive marriage statement. They do not publish a current wedding package, travel area, ceremony menu or fee schedule.

Services and specialization

The official Highland Hills United Church site identifies Rev. Max Ward as its reverend and describes the congregation as a Christian spiritual community. Its current mission says the church offers worship, education, pastoral care and outreach. A service page dated July 2026 lists Rev. Max Ward as worship leader, providing recent evidence that he remains active in the congregation.

For wedding research, the most relevant first-party statement appears on the church’s vision page: all persons are invited to participate in church life, including celebrations and marriage. However, the site does not provide a dedicated wedding-services page or identify which ceremony formats Rev. Ward currently offers. Couples should therefore treat wedding officiating as an enquiry to the church rather than assume that every type of ceremony, location or customization is available.

Service area and who it may suit

Highland Hills United Church is located at 21 Newcastle Street in Minden. The official site provides directions to the building and lists distances from Haliburton, Lindsay and Peterborough, but those directions are not a stated officiant travel radius. No current first-party page confirms that Rev. Ward travels throughout Central Ontario, across the Haliburton Highlands or to private cottage venues.

The available evidence may make this a relevant lead for couples planning in Minden who want to explore a Christian or United Church-connected ceremony. It may also be relevant to couples who value an explicitly inclusive church statement. Suitability still depends on the couple’s ceremony plans, Rev. Ward’s current authorization and availability, and whether he accepts the intended venue.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

One documented strength is the current, consistent identity trail: the official church biography names Rev. Max Ward and gives his academic credentials, while a July 2026 service page identifies him as worship leader. The site also publishes one clear office address, telephone number and email route, allowing couples to verify details directly.

Another documented feature is the congregation’s inclusion statement. Highland Hills says it welcomes participation regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ability, ethnicity, cultural identity, economic circumstances or family composition, and it specifically includes marriage. This is evidence about the church’s stated approach, not a claim about a particular wedding package.

The practical limitation is the absence of current wedding-specific detail. The official site does not confirm independent-business branding, wedding availability, ceremony types, legal-registration procedures, rehearsals, travel, wedding accessibility arrangements or response times. Couples should resolve these gaps before comparing this option with other officiants.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official HTML pages reviewed do not provide a ceremony fee, rehearsal fee, travel charge, deposit, tax treatment or cancellation terms. Couples should request a dated written quote identifying what is included and whether church or venue costs are separate.

An older marriage document may still appear in search results, but it should not be treated as a current price list. Ask the church office to confirm the applicable 2026 fees and terms directly.

Contact and booking

The verified contact route is Highland Hills United Church at 21 Newcastle Street, Box 247, Minden, ON K0M 2K0. The current telephone number is (705) 286-1470, and the home page publishes highlandhillspc2020@gmail.com. The legacy listing’s different phone number and unrelated website are not used because the current official church pages do not validate them.

When enquiring, include the wedding date, ceremony location, approximate start time, preferred ceremony style and whether a rehearsal is required. Ask specifically for Rev. Max Ward and confirm that the response concerns wedding officiating rather than general church programming.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, obtain direct written confirmation of the officiant, date and location. Ask whether Rev. Ward is currently authorized to solemnize marriages in Ontario and who is responsible for each legal and administrative step. The official pages reviewed do not answer those questions.

Couples should also clarify how religious or spiritual the ceremony may be, whether its wording and vows can be personalized, whether interfaith or non-religious elements are possible, and how the church’s inclusion statement applies to their specific ceremony. Confirm rehearsal options, travel limits, backup arrangements, accessibility requirements, total fees, payment dates, cancellation terms and the expected planning timeline.

Evidence note

This profile uses current pages on the official Highland Hills United Church domain for business facts. Collectively, those pages match the distinctive name “Max Ward,” place him in Minden, show a current ministry role and include marriage in the congregation’s stated welcome. They do not present a separate Rev. Max Ward Services website, so couples should verify the commercial booking details directly.

No directory descriptions, reviews, social posts or search-result snippets were used as factual proof. This boundary matters because older listings contain details that are not repeated on the current official site.
