Sandre S. Married on 04/03/2023Excellent!
We would highly recommend Rev. Claudine. She was very warm and friendly and it was clear from the questions she asked that she wanted to write a ceremony that was personalized and in keeping with the vision we had for our wedding. She also provided cue sheets for the photographer, wedding planner and DJ. We are so grateful that we found Rev. Claudine. She really helped make our wedding day perfect. -

Amazing service. We are beyond happy with how our ceremony went. She made it so personable to us also!!Clarity Ranch Ministry's reply:
Kristina, the abundance of love surrounding you two was breathtaking.
As you approached the altar, I couldn't help but be overcome with emotion as I witnessed the obvious love that you two feel for each other.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of such an incredible memory.

Helia J. Married on 31/07/2021Lovely intimate wedding!
We got married at Clarity Ranch on August 1st, 2021 soon after some COVID restrictions were lifted. Our families aren't in Canada so, we couldn't go back home any time soon so, we decided to invite our friends to our special day and have a short and simple marriage ceremony right here in Canada. Rev Claudine and her husband both have kind and beautiful souls. They hosted us in their wonderful farm with all the warmth we could possibly expect. Rev. Claudine made sure we got all we wanted in every step of the process. The wedding day itself is an amazing memory for both of us, we and Claudine were closely monitoring the weather forecast and figured there is going to be a thunderstrom on the wedding day. We had already planned so many things so, we couldn't really move up the date. They had set up a beautiful waterproof tent for us. Once we got there, the sun was out so we and the guests started photographing as much as we could, then the pouring rain started, thank god we had a beautiful tent to keep us nice and dry. Rev. Claudine performed our marriage with beautiful words and we also got a copy of the keepsake after that. Everything including the marriage ceremony went smoothly and we experienced three different beautiful weather conditions. If you ever decide to get married at Clarity Ranch, I assure you Rev. Claudine and her husband will do whatever they can to make your special day memorable for you. Right from the beginning, you'll just enjoy having a conversation with them and you feel like they are part of your family. Helia and Sobhan-

Clarity Ranch Ministry's reply:
Helia and Sobhan, hosting you at the ranch was such a joy. Having the opportunity to help you celebrate with your friends was such a wonderful memory for both me and my husband. Hearing the laughter and music, and watching everyone enjoy the nature and animals on our property just reiterated why I love what I do. It was such a smart plan to delay the start of the ceremony to get your photos taken. Bravo! That was certainly a rainstorm to remember. Your photos turned out beautifully too!
Congratulations again on your marriage. I wish you so many
blessings for your life together!

Amir F. Married on 30/04/2021Lovely Ceremony
We had our ceremony on their property and everything went as planned. Rev. Claudine is a very welcoming, hospitable, and professional officiant. Although we had many concerns because of the Covid situation and constraints in place, we worked together to address all the concerns and make it a very special, beautiful, and memorable wedding.
Since many of our family members could not make it to our wedding, Rev. Claudine made it possible for us to live stream our ceremony, and it was a great idea.
We searched a lot for finding the best officiant and place for our ceremony, and now we are really happy with our choice.Clarity Ranch Ministry's reply:
It was absolutely my pleasure to be part of your special day and host you on our property. I love that we can tie in technology and have live stream options for those who are not able to be present.
It warms my heart to be able to continue to create wonderful memories even during less-than-ideal times. Congratulations again! -

It was an honour to be part of your love story. It also warmed my heart to hear the cheers from your friends and family who couldn't be with you. I love that I could marry you while you "married" hi-tech with high-touch!

Very personable and loving atmosphere. Couldn't have asked for more. Rev. Claudine wrote our ceremony by telling our story, and gave our family a beautiful and special day we will never forget. Be sure to say hello to Ryan Gosling if you visit the Ranch!-

Erin M. Married on 30/07/2020Vow renewal
Claudine performed an intimate vow renewal ceremony for our 20th wedding anniversary with my husband and I and our two daughters. She met at Chateau des Charmes where we were married 20 years ago. During the ceremony Claudine spoke beautiful words to all four us and it was an emotional ceremony. I have already recommended Claudine to friends and family. She also presented us with a beautiful gift basket and a keepsake copy of the ceremony! Claudine really added such a special touch and made this a beautiful day that we will cherish forever!-

Elizabeth Married on 19/08/2022
The best officiant ever
Rev. Claudine is amazing. She is genuinely passionate about what she does and is a fabulously gifted writer and public speaker.
When our plans with our original officiant fell through, we reached out to several officiants on Wedding Wire, and as soon as we got a reply from Rev. Claudine we knew it would be a great fit. She eased all of our concerns right off the bat and was incredibly kind, understanding, knowledgeable, and FUN, while her professionalism ensured that the whole process went smoothly from start to finish.
We received so many compliments on our ceremony. Our guests were amazed when we told them that we had not even met Rev. Claudine in-person before the ceremony. The way she spoke about us and our love, everyone was under the impression that she must have known us personally for many years. The cadence, substance, and clarity of her speech was so ideal that the older and younger guests alike were equally pleased with both what she said and how she said it. Rev. Claudine's loving demeanor magnified the intimacy of our celebration and because of her, our wedding ceremony was so much more magical, romantic, and perfect than we ever even dreamed it could be.Clarity Ranch Ministry's reply:
Ohhhhh Liz. Once again, you made me cry. Your words fill my heart to overflowing and I feel completely honoured that our stars aligned so that I could be the one to share your beautiful love story.
When you two are off camping and sitting on a rocky hillside, staring up at the stars, the brightest star is me winking at you. Sending you the biggest hugs.

Jenna Married on 06/08/2022
So Thankful!
I am so happy we found Reverend Claudine she really made sure our ceremony was like a dream come true ♥️
The personal touches of our story and the thoroughness of the questionnaire and her getting to know us really made it special and one a kind.
Not to mention her attentiveness and guidance throughout all of the wedding planning process really made it easier and helped ease the stressful parts!
I really wish I could say this for all of our vendors-but we definitely 10/10 Recommend Clarity Ranch to make one of your most treasured moments in life absolutely perfect!!!Clarity Ranch Ministry's reply:
Gah! I'm not crying! YOU'RE crying!
Oh my gosh, Jenna. I am so glad that you found me too! I lost count of how many times I cried (and belly laughed) while reading your questionnaires. I was so excited to meet you both in person.
I feel so blessed that you trusted me enough to paint the full landscape of your relationship so that I could craft a ceremony that honoured your love story. I'm grinning like an idiot writing this and thinking about it.
BIG hugs! Rev. Claudine xoxo -

Meet the team
“I love love!”
Originally from British Columbia, Rev. Claudine spent many years traveling and experiencing different countries and cultures. Although she called BC her home, she never truly felt as though she belonged there. It wasn’t until following her heart to a new city that she began to feel herself becoming the woman she was meant to be. Happily settled in Ontario since 2008, Rev. Claudine has never looked back, and can’t imagine living anywhere else than the quaint hobby farm she maintains with her husband in Wellandport.
Commonly referred to in her community as “The Duck Whisperer,” a few moments with Rev. Claudine while she introduces you to her team of ducks, horses, cats, dogs, and the newest addition to the family—Ryan Gosling (the vocally boisterous African goose), you’ll know what kind of a down-to-earth person she is.
Love and animals aren’t Rev. Claudine’s only passions, she is also a writer. Her blogs on family, marriage, relationships, mental health, and current events are continually added to her website while she continues penning her future novel and children’s series.
A few short moments on the phone (or at your first meeting) with Rev. Claudine, her compassion and sincerity will make you feel like you are with a close friend or family member. (The kind of family member you actually like to spend time with.) Rev. Claudine’s huge heart shines brightly through her eyes, and her love of painting pictures with her words makes her ceremonies unforgettable.
