We love rinette!

Rinette was our officiant for our wedding on May 5, 2025, and she not only made our ceremony so special, but she made the entire process an absolute breeze. Her husband, Jim, officiated my sister's wedding last year, and seeing how stellar of a job he did, we knew that Rinette would be our perfect officiant. Rinette guided us through the entire process from start to finish, A-Z, and left no questions unanswered. Her grace in delivering the ceremony plan that she crafted with us is unmatched. We are thrilled at how much the day exceeded our expectations, and Rinette was a huge part of this. We would absolutely recommend her or Jim to anyone who is looking for an officiant!

Incredible Experience - Stonefields Wedding

We cannot thank Jim enough for officiating our wedding! He was such a joy to work with and was very accommodating to our rehearsal time and date. We appreciated how professional he was, especially during the rehearsal - we felt very comfortable knowing exactly what to do heading into our wedding ceremony. We had never met Jim prior to booking him as our officiant, however, it felt like we had an old friend sharing our story to our loved ones. Jim really took the time to get to know us and our story and it made for a ceremony that was very heartfelt and personal! His warmth and sincerity made everyone feel connected to the moment, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to lead us through such an important day. Thank you so much, Jim!

A key contributor to our perfect day!

Words can’t express the gratitude my wife and I have for Jim as our wedding officiant. He was such a pleasure to work with!

From the time leading up to the wedding, he was always staying in touch with us, and providing us with a sense of comfort. He instilled in us the confidence of knowing that our special day would be overseen by someone who had a sincere, genuine and heartfelt involvement in its success.

Both his professionalism and his wonderful sense of humor brightened every conversation we had with him, right up until the most important one of them, on our wedding day.

Both of us can say with utmost certainty that our wedding day was perfect, and Jim played a large part in making it so.

Many thanks, Jim! My wife and I wish you continued success!

Jim was truly amazing

We wish we could write down in words how amazing it was working with Jim and his team. He really made our special day even more special. We are sooo grateful we got to work with him, I would recommend him to anyone looking to get married. Our ceremony was small, intimate and Jim was so genuine, friendly. He is truly one of a kind!

Calm, friendly and tailored experience

Jim is truly amazing and we were so happy he was able to officiate our wedding. He was absolutely lovely, very resourceful and very flexible with changes due to Covid. His calm, friendly and professional demeanour put us at ease from the get-go, which resulted in such a memorable ceremony. Dear Jim, thank you for taking part in our special day and enhancing the experience for our family and friends. We couldn’t have had anybody else marry us but you.

Incredibly Professional

Jim Emerson provided us with everything we wanted. We didn't want any humour, but also nothing too serious. It ended up being incredibly special and made everyone cry. Jim worked with us to include our son in the ceremony, and the day ended up perfect.

Absolutely incredibly experience!

We were lucky enough to have Rinette perform our ceremony a few weeks ago. Rinette immediately reached out to get a feel for what we wanted our ceremony to look like and was courteous enough to follow up via text and email to answer and questions I had and to make our ceremony fit us perfectly! We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Rinette was kind and professional while also being very approachable. Our ceremony was perfectly charming, warm hearted and relaxed. We will forever be thankful to her for being so wonderful!


Happy newlyweds ❤️

The Best Officiant in the Biz

Due to the circumstances of COVID-19, my partner and I decided postponed our wedding and reception but still wanted to commemorate our original wedding day by signing our papers. We reached out to Jim some few weeks ago explaining our situation and he was extremely understanding and empathetic. It becomes very clear when meeting with Jim that you are meeting with someone who is team #love.

Both Jim and Rinette worked with us every step of the way, providing insightful tips and guidance from their many years of experience in the industry so that our wedding ceremony--regardless of the circumstances-- was one that we would remember forever. Jim's magnetic personality and warm sense of humor makes him the perfect officiant. He was a pleasure to work with and we are so happy we chose him to officiate our wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
