🌿 Your love story, beautifully told. 🌿

I’m Cathy, a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant™, and I believe your wedding ceremony should be more than just the “official part” of the day—it should be the heart of it. With warmth, professionalism, and a dash of light-heartedness, I create ceremonies that feel alive with you: your story, your values, your sense of humour, your dreams.

No two couples are alike, and no two ceremonies should be either. I take the time to listen—to what you admire in each other, the moments that shaped your journey, the quirks that make you laugh, and the vision you hold for the future. From there, I craft a ceremony that’s romantic, authentic, and unforgettable—for you, and for every guest in the room.

My Promise to You
When you choose me as your officiant, you can count on a ceremony that is:

  • Personalized – Every word is written just for you, not from a script.

  • Heartfelt – Honest, meaningful, and filled with warmth.

  • Joyful – A balance of romance and light-heartedness.

  • Professional – Organized, calm, and reliable from start to finish.

  • Memorable – An experience you and your guests will always cherish.

Your ceremony sets the tone for your entire celebration. Let’s make it joyful, meaningful, and a true reflection of your love.

💍 I’d be honoured to help you begin this next chapter with a ceremony that feels extraordinary and completely yours.

– Cathy

Extraordinary!

Cathy officiated our wedding in October of this year and she did an amazing job! I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with her. Throughout the whole wedding planning process she was so professional, friendly and accommodating. We requested that she do our rehearsal dinner and unfortunately, we did not have the best venue in terms of space to run a proper rehearsal. Regardless, Cathy was so wonderful and made it work! We really appreciated all of the time, thought and care that went into planning our ceremony. It was one of the best days of our lives thanks to her! We will forever cherish our keepsake memory book.

Amazing Ceremony

There is no one else I would have rather had conduct our marriage ceremony, and I can’t speak highly enough of Cathy! The ceremony was personalized, light hearted yet totally full of love. So many of our guests said it was the best ceremony they’ve seen. We appreciated all of Cathy’s guidance and support leading up to our wedding day, on the day, and after.

Cathy is perfection

If you want the personalized, loving, lighthearted, and overall perfect ceremony, then Cathy is the one!
From writing a unique and gorgeous ceremony, which incorporated personalized touches, to the vow book and keepsake, and her overall warmth and genuine love for love, Cathy is the whole package.
We had so many guests tell us they had never heard such a beautiful and perfect ceremony.

Thank you Cathy!!!

Phenomenal experience!

My husband and I hired Cathy for our garden wedding on June 30th of this year. Cathy was incredibly kind, helpful, professional, and thorough both before and during our wedding. What Cathy wrote for our ceremony was absolutely perfect, and her warm and calming energy was exactly what I needed as my stress levels were rising due to the weather taking a turn. She is the best of the best, I’ve never met a wedding conditioner as wonderful as her. You will not be disappointed!!

August 6 Wedding

We hired Cathy for our August 6 2022 wedding and she was AMAZING. I had quite a bit of nerves for the ceremony and I confided in Cathy and she made the ceremony EXACTLY what we wanted - short and sweet but also very personal and touching. She has such a calming presence and voice that as soon as I was up there, I felt completely fine and was really enjoying the ceremony. Something that I was quite nervous for ended up being one of the highlights of the day - thanks to Cathy!
