“One of the most interesting interviews I’ve ever had.”
~Stephen Harper, Former Prime Minister of Canada

Hmm…wonder why I like him so much.”
~Kathie Lee Gifford, Television Icon
“The longest, nicest interview I’ve ever done! I’m quite proud of it! Drew is a great interviewer!”
~Don Cherry, Former NHL Commentator, Player & Head Coach
“Drew‘s naturally inquisitive nature along with his – straight to the point, no BS, total honesty, but let’s laugh at ourselves in the process type of conversations – captured my heart. With over 20 years of friendship under our belts, he never ceases to surprise me by his personal journey to seek out authentic truth. His genuine humility feeds his desire to lead others toward their own best.”
~Candace Cameron Bure, Hollywood Actress (Full & Fuller House, Hallmark Channel, etc.) Author
EMCEE & EVENT HOST, GUEST SPEAKER
“When Drew was a young guy, I thought he was the craziest man I’d ever met. If he didn’t end up in jail, Drew would really make an impact with his life. Well, he’s not in jail and I think that Drew could become one of Canada’s premier motivational speakers. I really believe that he’s got what it takes.”
~Paul Henderson – Canadian Icon, Team Canada Summit Series Hero, Motivational Speaker
“Drew’s expertise and leadership were pivotal to the success of our inaugural Navy Street Charity for Persons with Disabilities event. His enthusiasm, professionalism, and invaluable contribution were evident from the moment he became involved, and I am deeply appreciative of his support. His ability to take control and guide the flow of the evening with confidence and skill ensured that everything ran smoothly. Drew’s experience in managing events, along with his ability to engage and captivate the audience, created an atmosphere that was both enjoyable and impactful for everyone involved. What truly distinguishes Drew is his authenticity and honesty. He has a rare gift of speaking the truth with both respect and clarity, which resonated deeply with the audience. His natural energy, combined with his sincere and down-to-earth approach, left a lasting impression on all who attended.”
~Sandra Longo, Founder & CEO Navy Street Charity
“Drew Marshall is more than good-natured, intelligent and funny. He acted as auctioneer at a number of our signature gala fundraisers and warmed up the audience to produce great revenue results. He also demonstrated compassion and care for our consumers in telling the March of Dimes’ story.”
~Andria Spindel – President and Chief Executive Officer, March Of Dimes Canada
“Drew Marshall was a brilliant addition to our new groundbreaking politically incorrect series which combined comedy and debate with comedians and experts, tackling the most sensitive of political, racial or religious subjects. Drew was engaging, genuine, provocative, charming and funny! At the end of the show, one of our most strident atheist panellists insisted that the world would be a much better place if Drew Marshall were Pope. So when I say he was charming, I wasn’t exaggerating.”
~Tim Rykert, Programmer, Vancouver Comedy Festival
“Drew Marshall is a highly gifted, charismatic and witty host who masterfully charms and engages his audiences. As the emcee for the Kingfest concerts, he brilliantly and seamlessly delivered the evening program, generating enthusiasm, spontaneous laughter and high energy in the theatre. So much is his natural talent, that Drew was the pivotal factor in the events’ overwhelming success, and this was in spite of appearances by world class recording artists.”
~Nancy Bodi – President, Kingfest Chair of York Region Tourism Advisory Council
FUNERAL OFFICIANT
“I am so glad I chose Drew. Not only for the honest and honourable service he led for the bereaved family and friends, but also for the thoughtful help and advice in the lead-up to the service. In the process of grieving, Drew kept me on point, and never avoided difficult topics, instead addressing them with me in a direct, helpful, and caring manner. His life experience, including considerable experience as a funeral officiant, meant that he was well-informed to help guide my choices on the memorial service. The end-result was a service that respectfully honoured the life of my old friend, making all attendees feel welcome. Difficult experiences were spoken to and addressed in a sensitive and gracious manner. Drew was able to weave poetry, humour and pop music together, and kept the service just long enough to make a positive difference to all of us on that day.”
~Heather
“Drew was the officiant at the funeral of a close childhood friend. He conducted the service with grace, gentle humor, and respect. It is never easy to balance the sensitivities of friends and family at a sad event like a funeral, but Drew handled his responsibilities like a pro. I’d highly recommend Drew for this very important assignment”
~A.J.
“Having been in the funeral service industry since 1969, I’ve heard so many officiants say some embarrassing, insincere and shallow things. Drew is a breath of fresh air. He says exactly what the family and guests need to hear, in a professional manner and authentically from the heart.”
~Tom Lalonde, Co-Owner of Marshall Funeral Home
