    Fantastic experience!

    Colleen was amazing and so sweet throughout the entire process. We entered this not knowing what we were doing and Colleen was so helpful along the way.

    We love Colleen!

    We had the best experience with Colleen as our wedding commissioner and officiant. She was extremely clear, organized and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She responds quick to emails and gives you plenty of customizations to how you envision your perfect ceremony.
    Not only did we love Colleen but our family and friends loved her too!

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Thank you Chelsea & Brendan. Your kind words and support mean the world to me. I loved every moment! 🤗

    The best marriage commissioner ❤️

    She was the best one. ❤️ Came before time, helped us out in sorting and managing the marriage.

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Thank you so so much, Parin & Sagar! It was a very special and intimate time. 💞 I enjoyed our little visit after and meeting your families. Colleen

    We were blessed to come across Colleen

    Colleen, we were so happy to have you included in our day. When you included the story of our engagement, we both started to cry. You are a consummate professional and you are very clearly emotionally invested in who you work with. We all felt that.

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Marilyn and Jon -- thank you so much! I loved hearing your engagement story and then writing it into your ceremony. A very special time for me. Hugs, Colleen 💞

    Our Wedding - September 10th 2021

    Colleen Olafson officiated our Wedding ceremony on September 10th, 2021. The whole day was beautiful and the ceremony was seamless, comfortable and very tastefully done. Colleen put together the ceremony making sure our wishes and the details were looked after taking into account our personal journey. We would recommend Colleen to anyone who wishes their Wedding ceremony to be done with perfection and clarity; and leaves you worry free. Thank you Colleen.

    Amazing experience

    If you are looking for a relaxed, professional and accommodating commissioner…Colleen is the one! She was very helpful throughout the whole process and was very understanding when we had to switch dates. She is very organized and offered advice that I would have not even thought of checking…Colleen is simply the best at what she does!

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Thank you so much Dairess and Brian! I love the planning you had for your ceremony and I know the many many photos you have captured every special moment. 💞

    We are so glad that we decided to have Colleen officiate our wedding ceremony! She was so warm and encouraging throughout the planning process, and completely eased our nerves about the big day. Colleen thinks of every detail, and makes it all so easy. Our ceremony was beautiful and customized to exactly how we wanted it. We highly recommend Colleen to all engaged couples!

    Winnipeg's best marriage comissioner

    Colleen was professional, kind and so helpful when working with us to plan our wedding ceremony. She gave plenty of tips and ideas on how we could personalize our wedding to make it our own, lending us a big book of ideas to map it all out with her advice and assistance. For the rehearsal, she made everyone feel comfortable and ensured we all understood how the process would work on the big day. We are so happy we chose Colleen to marry us!

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Tanya & Oliver, thank you so much! It was so much fun working with you and telling your love story. Your wedding party was also so-much-fun! 💞

    Amazing Experience

    Colleen officiated our wedding on August 14th, 2021. With a year of so much uncertainty with COVID one thing for certain was our ceremony and the exchange of our vows were in very good hands. Colleen made our special day that much more special. She took time to work out every detail of our ceremony and wedding day. She was always there to meet with us at anytime and helped to guide us through the entire process. She is professional, reliable, organized, experienced and has such a big heart for the couples that she works with. We connected with her instantly and couldn’t have found a more kind and generous person.

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kristy & Owen! I loved being part of your ceremony planning and special day AND it was a bonus to find out we are in the same neighbourhood! Hugs 💞

    Pandemic Wedding at the WAG

    Colleen Olafson is easily Winnipeg’s best Family Life Celebrant. She is more than someone shares in a special moment – she is a close family member who cares about you and making each moment together memorable.

    My wife and I were recently married by Colleen. Her close relationships with on site vendors and staff at the Winnipeg Art Gallery was astounding – she quickly worked with everyone to coordinate our vision and to ensure its flawless execution.

    Before August 1, Colleen met with us to craft a personalized wedding ceremony that would reflect our unique journey together. She offered us sage advice as we navigated the challenges of a pandemic wedding. At every step, she was respectful of our wishes, paid attention to every detail, and so much more.

    She is extremely organized and her process can help you create the right ceremony for your moment, no matter what your vision may be. After working with Colleen, we can see why she was awarded as one of Winnipeg’s Top Wedding Officiants for nearly five years and is highly recommended by the Winnipeg Wedding Show. Her experience is second to none and we strongly recommend her services to you for your next celebratory event.

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Holly and Shawn -- thank you so so much for your kind words! I loved every moment working with you and I know our paths will cross again somewhere. 💞 Colleen
