About

Lorie Gonta is an Ordained Priest with the Community Catholic Church of Canada. They are an inclusive Church. She is a Wedding Officiant who is also a certified Wedding Planner. She has a huge amount of experience and will be a huge help on the big day.

Services offered

She offers weddings that are as unique as each couple. She believes that everyone should be married to the person they love. She will work with you to deliver a wedding that you will look back on and cherish for many years to come. Lorie supports and does weddings for the LGBTQ community. Speak to her today if you'd like to find out more information.

She does weddings (religious or non-religious), renewal of vows, commitment ceremonies, elopements and handfastings. If you want a themed wedding and want Lorie to dress as well, she will accommodate as best as she can. Offering personalized vows, Lorie will work with you to tell your story on your day. She will even help you plan things for an additional fee.

Being a Wedding Planner also makes me realize that the unexpected can happen before the ceremony starts. I will not book more than one wedding per day so that you don't have added stress about whether or not I will be up at the front waiting for you. I know some Officiants start charging a fee after 15 minutes but that won't happen with me. We want you to have your wedding the way you wanted it to. Stress free.

personalized

Lorie was very professional. She took the time to meet with us several months before the service (an extensive meeting) to personalize the service. She included our children which was beautifully integrated. Lorie is well organized and genuinely cared about our day. The vows she prepared for us were exactly what we were looking for. We would highly recommend Lorie's service to anyone looking for a meaningful officiant.

Amazing experience!

Lorie officiated our wedding last weekend and I have to say she was amazing. She was so helpful throughout the process and shared any tidbits she had learned over the years. When she had sent us the written copy of the ceremony a few months before I fell in love with the words she had written. We didn't want to write our own vows and she had written some that were perfect for us. We just added our own little touch to them. I would highly recommend Lorie Gonta for anybody who is looking for an officiant. She is just too sweet not to love! Thanks Lorie!
