Top notch , fantastic experience top to bottom

I was assisting with planning my sister's very last minute micro wedding of a very sensitive nature. I found Kate and i have to believe she was put in our path for a reason. She was very quick and responsive, very flexible and as the planning went on she went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. Very professional, but also so deeply caring. As I mentioned it was a bittersweet sensitive wedding and she honoured that fantastically. It ended up being the most beautiful day and that was greatly due to Kate. We will never be able to thank her enough for her efforts, and I would recommend her to absolutely everyone. A million thanks Kate

Cannot recommend Kate enough!

Kate is so incredibly kind, thoughtful, funny, and an absolute joy to work with. She took the time to genuinely get to know us and used everything she learned to create a ceremony that felt completely and authentically us. The ceremony itself was kept as a surprise, and we were repeatedly asked if Kate was actually our friend because of how specific, personal, and perfectly tailored it was to us. She made the whole experience so special, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to officiate our wedding. Cannot recommend Kate enough!!

Thank You Kate!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kate! Looking back on our wedding day, we feel so incredibly lucky that she was the person standing with us and helping guide us through such an important moment in our lives. Her bubbly personality and big smile gave us so much reassurance, especially during those moments where there were a million things happening at once.

From our very first conversations with Kate, she made us feel so comfortable and cared for. She took the time to get to know us as a couple throughout the process of planning our ceremony, and because of that - our ceremony felt so personal and authentic to who we are. We received so many compliments from our guests about her, and we completely understand why. She brought such a warm, genuine, and heartfelt energy to our ceremony, and told our love story in such a beautiful way. It was obvious to everyone how much care she put into making the ceremony special and unique to us.

Throughout the entire process, Kate was wonderful to communicate with. She made sure to check in with us periodically to ensure that we were comfortable with her process and answer any questions we had. I planned our wedding myself, so she helped to keep me on track with the little details that would have become overwhelming otherwise. I really appreciated the detailed instructions she gave us regarding how to go about getting the important legal documents. Knowing that we could trust her to get them where they needed to go after the wedding day was a huge stress reliever for me.
She was such a calming presence for me throughout the process, but especially on our wedding day. I was in a panic as it was pouring rain, and our ceremony was set up outside. Kate kept me calm, made me laugh and reminded me that no matter what the weather, everything was going to be okay. I will never forget how she calmed my nerves, and supported me. It was so reassuring to know that I had her in my corner.

Kate truly went above and beyond for us! She even helped with setup on our wedding day, despite it not being a part of her job description. She never hesitated to step in wherever she could to make our day easier and more seamless. Her generosity and willingness to go the extra mile meant so much to us and is something we (and our families) will always remember.

If you are looking for an officiant who will genuinely care about you, take the time to get to know your story, and go above and beyond to make your wedding day feel special and personal, we could not recommend Kate more! She was absolutely wonderful, and we are so thankful she was a part of our day! We will definitely be recommending her to anyone that will listen, and I look forward to working with her again in any capacity!

Our saving grace!

Kate was our saving grace, last minute to guide us through our decision for how to officiate our wedding and making the last minute stress not as prominent as it could have been.
We trusted to reach out to Kate through excellent reviews, so it was necessary for us to do the same so we can validate all the wonderful statements about Kate and her practice.

Kate is personable, funny, relatable, excellent at communication, and passionate about recognizing love and the purpose of marriage. We felt comfortable talking with Kate over the original consultation and she did not force or pressure us into any decisions, rather provided honest information to inform us on how to proceed with our planning.

Kate is very organized and let us know what to expect in the process of meeting with her before, during and after the wedding ceremony, and it was one less thing for us to question or worry about.

On the day of, Kate was nothing but incredible with her energy and attitude that was positively contagious and engaging with all of our guests. The ceremony was unique to us and it was meaningful and memorable to many.

Kate gifted us a beautiful handmade gift after the ceremony that we can cherish and have a memory of our wedding and of her as an important person to make our day happen.

We have nothing but great words to share and we echo all positive notes about Kate and her services.

Thank you Kate for celebrating our love and being part of the most special moment at our wedding! --The Thompsons

Amazing Officiant

Kate drafted the perfect “repeat after me” vows since we didn’t want to overcomplicate things. She took pieces from our story and created 3 beautiful speeches on our wedding day. Kate also has a way about her that is so calming and she had great advice for us to follow on the day. She also was flexible by allowing us to take her by boat to a remote place on our lake and totally went with the flow. She was truly so lovely, professional and kind! Thank you Kate !

Officiant review

Kate was our officiant for our wedding last Saturday and she was amazing !

We had another officiant lined up but fired them one week before our wedding as we were not happy with their services. When we called Kate to tell her our current situation she did not hesitate to help us out ! Hiring Kate was the best decision ! She is super easy to work with and really cares about her job. You can tell she really loves what she does and generally cares about her clients. Kate was very helpful with walking us through the whole process and was a huge help in getting our ceremony perfect!

She was the perfect person to start off the wedding ! She set the mood of the wedding getting everyone laughing, clapping and enjoying the ceremony!

We are so glad we hired Kate ! We would definitely recommend her for your wedding !

Perfect choice for our special day!

Kate was the perfect officiant for our simple legal signing. From our very first message, she was highly responsive and clear about exactly what we needed to bring and expect. On the day of, she handled the paperwork and set up flawlessly, and brought such a calm, lovely energy to our quick ceremony. Kate made a stressful legal process completely effortless. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Officiant!

Kate did such a great job of listening to our wishes, taking our story and weaving it into a beautiful and simple ceremony as we wanted. Her way of bringing excitement and fun and humour to the ceremony was so fantastic and set the tone for a wonderful day celebrating our wedding with our friends and family. Kate also is excellent at explaining the legal process for getting a marriage license and applying for a marriage certificate later after the wedding which initially seems complicated but she makes it easy to understand. I wholeheartedly recommend you hire Kate to be your officiant, you will not be disappointed! Thanks Kate!

Wedding Officiant

Kate's life is rooted in community and compassion — values that guide both her work and the way she shows up for others.

Her path to becoming a Wedding Officiant began when she was invited to lead a vow ceremony for two dear friends. The experience was filled with genuine emotion to light a spark that lasted the whole evening. After this ceremony, the couple inspired her to help others celebrate their stories in the same way to be authentic, joyful, and a truly memorable moment they can call their own.

Kate is deeply committed to giving back. She serves as the Treasurer for a local women and children’s shelter and works full time within a non-profit charitable organization, dedicating her time to supporting those who need it most. Her passion for meaningful connection is evident in every aspect of her work.

Today, Kate is known for creating ceremonies that are personal, genuine, and touched with just the right amount of sparkle. She brings heart, humour, and an effortless sense of ease to each celebration, making couples feel supported and seen as they step into one of life’s most meaningful moments.
