⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ Valerie Maltese and Love Story Ceremonies
Because of that incredible experience, we knew right away that we wanted Valerie to be part of our own family celebration. We invited her to officiate our kids’ ceremony in September 2025, and she once again made it a truly special and memorable moment.
Valerie has a gift for turning life’s milestones into heartfelt stories that will be cherished forever. Her presence brings comfort, joy, and magic. If you’re looking for someone to make your ceremony deeply personal and unforgettable, I cannot recommend Valerie Maltese and Love Story Ceremonies enough. 💖

Meet the team
Hello, my name is Valerie Maltese and I call myself a Loveographer.
I am licensed through BC Vital Statistics to solemnize weddings in the beautiful province of British Columbia.
I am also a certified Life-Cycle Celebrant® and an actor. I am an ACTRA Member (Association of Canadian Television and Radio Artists). I bring a calm easy going demeanour, along with performance and public speaking skills . I have professional wedding celebrant training from the Celebrant Institute and Foundation and over a decade of experience in the wedding industry.
I write your love story and use this in your ceremony or I can coach you on how to write it yourself. This is a beautiful process and it provides something to keep forever. You can read it again on an important anniversary, your children and grandchildren may even read it one day and you can add to it as the years go by. It truly becomes in time like a priceless family heirloom.
I allow you to have the final say in the wording of your ceremony scripts and I engage the audience. I am the right match for you if you want your audience to stay listening and on the edge of their seats from your walk down the aisle to your big beautiful kiss!
