About

I love weddings and I love LOVE! As a professional Alberta marriage commissioner, my goal is to take away the stress and nerves of your special day to give you the best ceremony ever! But what does that mean? The best ceremony ever is the one about YOU! We take your love story and weave it into a beautifully compelling, fun, and memorable ceremony that all of your guests will be raving about!

It’s lighthearted and laidback, it will make you laugh, and maybe even make you cry. It’s just long enough to enjoy the importance of this milestone event, but short enough to leave everyone wanting more.

As a civil commissioner my ceremonies are non-religious, but I love to incorporate your cultural traditions or your personal beliefs as you wish. This is your ceremony after all! Whatever your style, you can take comfort in knowing that I’ll walk you through your special day from start to married!

We had the pleasure of having Laura officiate our heli elopement and she was lovely. She took our stories and blended them into a lovely service, my now husband felt so at ease with her as she led him through the process before my heli arrival.

Perfect Day

Thank you so much for helping make our wedding day perfect! Laura made our ceremony so personal and beautiful. The planning was easy and stress free. We loved filling out the questionnaire of our love story. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

A Perfect Wedding Ceremony

Laura was amazing from start to finish! She responded quickly when we e-mailed with questions and offered a virtual touch base before the ceremony to make sure everything was what we wanted. The story she told in the ceremony was perfect and everything felt personable even though she'd only met us twice virtually beforehand. We would definitely recommend Laura for anyone getting married in the Jasper area.

Beautiful Wedding Ceremony

Myself and husband eloped by Abraham Lake. Laura was so helpful supplying lots of resources for something we found hard to navigate ourselves. Laura had everything under control, we needed to fill out a questionnaire and from that she crafted together beyond beautiful words that we both could not believe how well she worded her ceremony to suit us. Lauras words were simple, beautiful and just what we wanted. We had a small number of people attend and they too were impressed with how well Laura had written her ceremony around us. Laura was on time and waited patiently for us, she was very professional, warm and friendly. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you Laura for your beautiful work.

Above and Beyond

Laura truly went above and beyond for our elopement in Jasper. We expected a short and official ceremony, but from our one Zoom and question responses, Laura crafted a personal ceremony that made our special moment even more magical. In addition, we appreciated how easy and organized all the planning was - thank you so much!

AWE-maz-ing

JUST DO IT- look no further, Laura is the officiant you NEED on your big day!
I truly don't have enough words to describe how incredible Laura is. Both us and our guests were in complete 'awe' of the incredible job she did. She made our ceremony perfect, exactly what we were wanting. We were rather picky with choosing our officiant as we didn't want it dry, to generic, or religious in any way as neither of us are faith based, but yet we had high expectations as the ceremony was the most important part to us. Laura exceeded our expectations 100 times over. We had multiple comments throughout our night asking about our officiant, "Was she a close friend, or family?", "She knew your story inside and out", no one believed that only a few months prior, Laura was a complete stranger to us. Laura was a pleasure to work with start to finish. She was professional, understanding, fun and light hearted, and truly put her heart and soul into making our ceremony absolutely perfect. We can't thank Laura enough for keeping smiles and laughs coming from ourselves and everyone throughout our whole ceremony. No matter what you are looking for, look no further, I have no doubts Laura will make your ceremony incredibly special and everything you ever dreamed of.

Laura is incredible!

We reached out to Laura after a cancelled flight caused us to miss our dream wedding in Jamaica. With a short 4 days notice we were able to schedule our elopement in Jasper. Laura was so personable, attentive and gave our wedding such a personal touch. The silver wedding of our missed wedding was definitely having Laura as our officiant. I would highly recommend her to any couple.

The only Marriage Officiant to Consider if Getting Married in the Mountains!

Laura was the absolute best! She was recommended to me by a local resident of Jasper, as I was planning my wedding from Ontario. After our first online meeting with Laura, we knew she was the one for us. It felt like we were talking to our friend. She was responsive to all our questions along the way, and kept us on track, as to when details needed to be in. Her wedding questionnaire was extensive, but also a fun experience for my husband and I to do. She asked us to share our love story, and she was able to capture our life beautifully, for the ceremony. With our ceremony an intimate affair, we wanted a less traditional wedding, with laughter and tears and Laura didn't disappoint. She made everyone feel comfortable, and our guests are still talking about how great she was! The personal touches she intertwined into our ceremony, perfectly captured our life, love and story. She was amazing, and we cannot say enough great things about our experience with Laura!

Marriage Officiant, Owner

Hi, I'm Laura! Your marriage officiant and wedding hype-woman!

If you asked me 5 years ago if this is what I'd be doing full-time, I never would have guessed. But, a curiosity about how to become a marriage commissioner in Alberta, and an absolute love of ceremonies have led me, to what I believe, is my true calling.

To be a part of a couple's special day, writing their love story, and seeing the reactions of friends and families drives my passion to create the most beautiful ceremonies for my couples.

I've always loved to tell stories, whether it was visually as a graphic designer, or planning the perfect event. Now, I get to retell love stories on one of the most important days for a couple. *Pinch me, I'm dreaming!*

When I'm not standing between two lovers, reciting words of commitment, I am working on my Airbnb that I run out of my house. I love to explore Jasper National park by hiking, paddleboarding, skiing, or cycling. There are endless adventures here!

At home, I love to spend time with my husband, Al, and my black cat, Pad Thai (yes that's really her name)!

I also love fashion (it was my first college diploma!), so I carry that love to my ceremonies by trying to match your colours and ceremony vibe!

I can't wait to meet you and gush about your love story!
