Your love story deserves more than just a ceremony. It deserves a meaningful beginning to your marriage.

At Khimya Ceremonies, I believe your wedding ceremony should feel personal, peaceful, heartfelt, and true.

I am Rev. Lola Piana, an ordained wedding officiant serving couples in the Ottawa area and surrounding in both English and French. My approach combines warmth, professionalism, spiritual sensitivity, and a deep respect for the beauty and significance of marriage.

I especially enjoy working with couples who appreciate a classic and traditional approach to marriage, including those who wish to incorporate Christian faith, prayer, Scripture, or meaningful spiritual elements into their ceremony. I also officiate elegant civil ceremonies for couples who prefer a simple and non-religious celebration while still valuing the meaning, dignity, and commitment of marriage.

Whether you are planning an intimate backyard wedding, a civil ceremony, an elopement, or a faith-centered Christian celebration, your ceremony will be thoughtfully prepared to reflect your personalities, your story, your values, and the promises you are making to each other.

Planning a ceremony can sometimes feel overwhelming and you do not have to figure everything out on your own.

From choosing the right ceremony structure and preparing your vows to understanding the marriage licence, incorporating family or cultural traditions, and managing last-minute questions or concerns, I am here to guide you through the process. My goal is to help find practical solutions to the details that may be causing you stress so that you can approach your wedding day feeling calm, prepared, and confident.

Couples working with Khimya Ceremonies can expect:

  • Clear, responsive, and caring communication

  • Personalized ceremony preparation

  • Guidance with vows and ceremony structure

  • Support with ceremony questions and unexpected concerns

  • Professional completion and filing of the marriage documentation

  • Bilingual services in English and French

  • A calm, warm, and reassuring presence on your wedding day

From our first conversation until the moment you say “I do,” I want you to feel supported and confident that your ceremony is in caring and capable hands.

More than an officiant, I strive to be a trusted, faith-guided presence who helps you create a beautiful and meaningful beginning to your married life.

Mariage Ambre

Un grand merci pour cet accompagnement de qualité. Les échanges téléphoniques avant mon mariage m’ont permis d’être parfaitement préparée et beaucoup plus sereine le jour J. Grâce à ses précieux conseils sur le déroulement de la cérémonie, tout s’est merveilleusement bien passé. Je recommande vivement ses services pour son professionnalisme, son écoute et sa bienveillance.
