A Celebrant with Depth & Heart

Hiring Abegael of Life Threads Ceremonies as our officiant and wedding celebrant was such a good decision! A close friend of mine recommended her to us, as Abegael also held her wedding ceremony. We felt confident with her from the start - she was the only celebrant we interviewed. Abegael was thoughtful and brought a new layer depth and meaning into the experience. She graciously fit us into her schedule with short notice. We really enjoyed our experience with her and recommend her wholeheartedly. We recommend booking her services early to give yourselves the space and time throughout the process to reflect on what you want for your ceremony. She offers many beautiful rituals. Abegael is a wonderful wedding celebrant and we will remember her on our special day for many years to come! ! Thank you dear Abegael! - Josie & Chris

Absolute gem

"Working with Abagail was an absolute privilege—she was nothing short of a wedding wizard!
From the very beginning, Abagail took our vague vision—a fusion of my Hindu heritage and my wife’s Buddhist traditions—and transformed it into a magical, one-of-a-kind experience that left our guests in awe.
She masterfully wove in two additional ceremonial elements we never could have imagined, turning our day into a vibrant tapestry of love and culture. But what truly stole our hearts was how she brought our story to life. By diving into the details of how we met and fell in love, she crafted a heartfelt, personalized narrative that had everyone laughing, crying, and hanging on her every word.

Abagail didn’t just officiate—she orchestrated a masterpiece, a celebration that will be etched in our hearts (and our guests’ memories!) forever. Thank you, Abagail, for turning this milestone into pure, unforgettable magic!"

Beautiful and customized ceremony

We knew that picking a celebrant was an important choice and we are so happy we went with Abegael! She asked the best questions and created a ceremony that we will never forget. Abegael is so welcoming and makes the process very fun. She helped us choose rituals that related to our ancestry and helped us honor our late fathers in a ceremonial way. Thanks Abegael!

Celebration of Life

Abegael did an amazing job bringing everyone together at my father in law's celebration of life. She honored our requests and put together such an eloquent introduction to share the life that my father-in-law led. Abegael was organized and especially important in keeping all contributors on task. All who attended the ceremony raved about Abegael and indicated it was one of the most touching and memorable ceremonies they have attended.

Amazing wedding celebrant

Having Abegael as our celebrant for our unique wedding was perfect! She worked efficiently and was great at constant communication to ensure our happiness with all of the different traditions we wanted to include on our special day. She showed up early, has great voice projection (we were outside), and organized our large group of guests (around 90) into a circle formation. She truly made our wedding day special and meaningful, we couldn't be happier with our golden rose wedding package.

Abegael helped Our Day be the best it could be!

The prep-work felt was laid out so that come the wedding day we were confident, with multiple drafts and plenty of communication. Even when events outside officiant duty were hitting snags Abegael was able to roll with it. The prep work paid off!
Our personal vows were carefully crafted with our input and took them from being good to being great! My wife and I loved this approach.
The various rituals that were chosen with our input made even the most stoic of our family members proclaim "it was AMAZING!" I think I saw my step-dad shed his first tears in his life. The ceremony was enhanced by bells and other provided ritual materials, which were all provided by Abegael. I'm confident that if someone is reading this and considering the same officiant that they'd be surprised by the amount of options she'll bring to the table (but not overwhelmed!)
The gifts Abegael provided were touching as well. So in addition to our guests leaving with memories that will help mark our day, so were our (my wife & I) own expectations.
Our marriage certificate also arrived promptly on time.
I realize as I'm typing all of this out I'm gushing, but it's all true! I would highly recommend WeddingWire.ca
Reach out and meet with an officiant to find out if they'll meet (or exceed) your expectations!

Best ceremony ever!

Abegael was our wedding celebrant and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the start, we felt an authentic connection with her. She wrote our love story with such care and the unique rituals she suggested really made our ceremony stand out. In fact, many of our guests raved that it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and that it was their favourite part of the wedding. We would highly recommend Abegael to any couple seeking a memorable and personalized ceremony and are so glad we chose her to be with us on our wedding day!

Beautiful and memorable custom ceremony

The top compliment we heard was that our ceremony was so meaningful and unique! Creating this ceremony with Abegael's help truly brought us closer in the process and on the day! Abegael had so many of ideas for our ceremony and welcomed our vision. We wanted everyone to hear our love story so they understood what brought us up to that day! Most people in the room knew pieces of it but she crafted a beautiful and thorough recollection that shared both our sides of the story. We added several meaningful rituals like candles, ring warming, handfasting and the gift of flowers to our mothers. Everyone was given an antique bell to ring as we walked out which everyone really enjoyed! We even managed to include my younger sister who passed away 4 years ago in a way that made me laugh and cry at the same time! I truly felt her presence with us on this day. Thank you Abegael for bringing our ceremony together and making it truly memorable!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
