Services offered
Evelyn brings a certain level of sensitivity and knowledge to every ceremony. Her deep understanding of the occasion and its emotional importance to her clients, everything makes her put extra effort to design every detail perfectly and according to the demands of her clients.
You can have an initial consultation with her to chart out the details and your vision. A customised ceremony or Standard Civil ceremony, you will decide and she will also file the marriage license with the Office of the Registrar General.
The starting cost of $375 does not include mileage and travel time and the couple have to obtain their own marriage license.
From the initial contact to the ceremony itself, Evelyn brought light and joy into the whole process of planning our ceremony to the day itself!
She is a delight, truly loves what she does and it shows in every little detail. Our wedding was held outside, at the beginning of January. It was chilly and required taking a little jaunt into the woods to get the the spot we chose. Evelyn was there every step of the way - having a chuckle as we tromped up to the spot, embracing the beautiful energy surrounding us all.
Evelyn has a beautiful way of delivering the vows and officiating the whole ritual. We felt completely relaxed and in tune with each other and were able to enjoy each moment.
She helped us choose some additional ways to celebrate our union - handfasting and a wine ritual were added and both of these truly took the whole experience to a higher level and built a deeper connection for us as a newly married couple. We loved every minute of it.
We are thrilled that she officiated our wedding for us and are so very grateful to have found her.
I highly recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for an amazing, heart centered, officiant in the Muskoka area.

We didn't think it would be so easy...
We contacted Evelyn to be our officiant for our small Covid wedding, and we couldn't have made a better choice. She was very accommodating, and took all the guesswork out of the process. Evelyn was always quick to respond, and ultimately just fit in like a piece of the puzzle... a very important piece. When the world gets back to normal, we look forward to having her back to re-do our vows at a celebration where we can include our families. John and Amy

Amazing Evelyn!
Evelyn was so great to work with right from the beginning. She was super responsive and gave us many options to choose from for our ceremony. We added a few personalized things such as the ring exchange vow, our own personal vows and a tree planting ceremony. She was completely on board with everything! She spoke very well during the ceremony and all of our guests could hear her well. I would highly recommend Evelyn!!

Magical day!
It was a wonderful day! Evelyn was on time, detailed with instructions and most importantly she calmed me down. Even though I did not meet her prior to the ceremony, I felt like I’ve known her for years!
Thanks for the candle you left us that was a nice touch!
I’ll recommend Evelyn to anyone who needs an officiant in the muskoka area.
