Bill Judge
Nestled in Elmira, Ontario, Mary and I have embraced a journey that led us through Kitchener and Milton. Proud parents to Alex, a skilled Robotics Engineer, and joyous in-laws to Breigh since their June 2019 union, we savor family moments and global exploration. My professional path, forged from a Ryerson Hospitality Program diploma (1980), encompasses a dedication to serving people in hospitality and industrial customer service. Today, as a designated minister and seasoned public speaker with a focus on baptisms & naming ceremonies, I'm passionate about creating ceremonies that embrace and celebrate the diverse identities and values of couples and all inclusive families. Your sacred day, your chosen location—every detail matters profoundly!
Rev Mark Hartburg
As an Ordained Minister with Clergy Support Memorial Church, I would be honoured to help you realize your vision for a baptism or naming ceremony that conveys all the joy and thrill of your love for your child. I live in Kitchener with my husband Bruce and I am the father of two daughters (and a grandson), and we share our home with the companionship of a dog and two cats. My previous experience as a parish pastor for almost 30 years has provided me with the opportunity to celebrate life celebrations with many families. I am an active member of Spectrum Community Space and I enjoy dedicating time supporting LGBTQ+ members of our communities. I look forward to the opportunity to work together with you to create a celebration as personal, creative and as fun as you wish it to be.
