Made the day so special!
We contacted Tammy to officiate our wedding on a friend's recommendation; I had been in the friend's wedding party several years prior so I already knew how lovely she was. We arranged for a Zoom meeting to discuss what we were hoping for, bounce some ideas around, and for her to get a feel for what we were like as a couple to help with personalizing our ceremony. She drafted a few options for our ceremony and left it entirely up to us to pick and choose which parts to keep so that it would feel meaningful to us. We were actually surprised (in a good way!) at how meaningful her words ended up being to us both as people and as a couple right out the gate.
The big day went off without a hitch - Tammy was SO supportive onsite, checked in with both of us prior, and her big smiles and positive energy helped calm our nerves. We wrote our vows in a book that she held onto until it was time (so we didn't have to worry about losing it) and she handled everything with our paperwork. We just had to get our marriage license, and she sorted everything else, even including some keepsakes (printed ceremony and wedding certificate).
But even beyond that, the thing that floored me most was that Tammy was able to incorporate an unexpected addition to the ceremony - as we'd mentioned we are both huge science nerds, she snuck in closing remarks that combined the concepts of love and science in such a beautiful way. It was a wonderful surprise for us.
The kicker was finding out she'd actually married several couples who were guests at our wedding - a testament to how highly recommended she comes. I will also add that the value of her services was fantastic - in my researching, I found other officiants charged far higher fees for far less value than what we had going with Tammy.
Thank you for making this day so wonderful and easy for us! Your name will be first on our list if we are ever asked for recommendations in future.Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you for your incredibly kind words Ashton! They mean so much to me. So many things to love about your ceremony - seeing couples that I have married was such a treat. I was thrilled when you and Jesse shared that you were science nerds when we did your ceremony consult ha! ha! Being able to add something about that in your ceremony was so fun for me! My goal is to always create and perform unique ceremonies that are a true reflection of my couples :). Wishing you and Jesse all the very, very best!

Beautiful Ceremony!
Tammy was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was so kind and down to earth, we connected right away. Our zoom consultation was so easy, we had no idea what to expect or how to plan a ceremony but Tammy flawlessly walked us through everything. Just with that conversation she came up with 2 options of to use for our ceremony, both were lovely, but one just fit us perfectly. Tammy showed up early to meet us and see the venue. She preformed a beautiful intimate ceremony for us and our small family, she even included a small shout out to our one cat who had made an appearance in our zoom consultation in the ceremony. She took care to step to the side during our vows and for the first kiss so both those moments could be just for us and we received a lovely copy of the ceremony along with our temporary marriage certificate. Tammy really helped make our small ceremony just that little bit extra special, I would 100% recommend her!Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:
Danielle and Chad - your intimate ceremony in that beautiful garden was just so lovely. It was so obvious how your ceremony was just about the two of you and that made it such a pleasure to perform.I loved the warm and sweet energy between the two of you. You really did look like a storybook princess Danielle. Beautiful! -

A very special day
Tammy was amazing from the start of our experience working together to the finish. In our first meeting she got to know each of us and create the perfect ceremony that seemed so fitting for our personalities. Everyone told me they were so moved. Thank you Tammy for being apart of our special day!Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:
Cornerstone Wedding Venue was just the perfect backdrop for your ceremony Amy and Brayden! I loved the gorgeous photos of the two of you capturing the joy that your ceremony was bringing you! You and your wedding party look amazing! Adding in the First Nations Dancer made your wedding day incredibly special I am sure. Your sweet energy made my role such a pleasure! Thank you -

Tammy was amazing
Tammy was the perfect officiant. She gave us multiple options for ceremonies and provided a lot of flexibility if we wanted to customize things. At the time of rehearsal she gave clear direction that everyone understood, and the wedding day went smoothly. Thanks Tammy!Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:
HI Blair and Ashley - thanks so much! One of the things I most enjoy is creating ceremonies that really are a reflection of my couples. You two were so easy to create for because your personalities were so light and fun! Ashley really did look like a storybook princess and your families were so lovely. I thought your ceremony was perfect from the very funny start to the end! -

Brent and Carley October 2024
Tammy was so great. She was fun, professional, not too sappy and she has a nice voice too! I know a lot of wedding officiants can be control freaks too, she is not. Super laid back and will do whatever you want her to do for your custom ceremony. :)Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:
Carley and Brent - it was so much fun being a part of your wedding day! You were both so laid back yet all the details of your day were perfect! Easy to tell that your big day was about sharing it with great friends and family that you love. My number one goal is to reflect the vibe that my couples are looking for - for me, it is always about what my couples want in their ceremony. All of the small things that make a ceremony memorable! -

Wonderful wedding experience
Our experience with tammy was amazing! From the very start she was extremely helpful and prompt on responses! As well when it came to rehearsal she was great at accommodating our large wedding party during a down pour! Plus on the day of she added personalized details to our ceremony that was very meaningful! Would highly recommend!Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:
What an absolutely beautiful day we got for your ceremony after a super, soggy rehearsal :). Everyone was such a good sport! Obsidian Ridge was a perfect backdrop for your amazing ceremony. It was such a pleasure to be part of it as you and Tiffany were so in the moment and it was clear how very special this moment was for the two of you. Both of you smiled though the whole ceremony! Your incredible love for each other shone though it all! -

Wedding Ceremony with Tammy Banting: July 2024
Tammy was absolutely fantastic as our wedding officiant! From the moment we first contacted her, she was incredibly organized and responsive. She took the time to understand our vision for the ceremony and tailored every detail to perfection. Her confidence and clear speaking voice helped calm our nerves on the big day, and she delivered an amazing ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. We received numerous compliments throughout the day about how wonderfully she conducted the ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and would 100% recommend Tammy to anyone looking to tie the knot!Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:
Emily and Curt - I so loved the Tuscany decor at your ceremony.
And following that up with your planned Honeymoon to Tuscany!
Adding your sweet and funny vows made for a truly romantic ceremony. And then there was your dress Emily - just wow! Loved that the ceremony we created together was perfect for you both. Enjoy your honeymoon and all the very best! -

Tammy was incredible!
Right from the first communication I had a feeling Tammy was going to be a perfect fit. She is extremely professional, flexible and truly a pleasure to work with. She holds a zoom meeting to get a feel for the couple and then sends some suggestions for ceremony and vows that might fit, always open to revisions or changes. Our day was absolutely perfect and Tammy was a big contributing factor in that. Highly recommend!
Jay and DenaMeaningful Ceremonies's reply:
Dena and Jay - some of the most touching ceremonies I have ever performed are the most intimate. Where really only the very most important people in your lives are there, where the bond of love is so strong it really is the backdrop. I felt all of this at your ceremony, in that beautiful setting and the sweet emotion showing on everyone's face. So very touching. Thank you for making me a part of it. -

Beautiful ceremony by an amazing officiant
There was never any question about who our officiant would be for our wedding, it was always, always going to be Tammy. We had both seen her in action at multiple weddings and each time we were so impressed by her beautiful ceremonies.
As expected, working with Tammy was a dream. We had no idea where to start and she took the time to walk us through the process step by step. She worked with us to create a beautiful ceremony that felt true to who we are as a couple. Tammy was very responsive, so professional and a joy to work with.
Tammy, thank you so much for being a part of our special day and making it more beautiful than we could ever imagine.
Stephanie and GraysonMeaningful Ceremonies's reply:
Stephanie and Grayson - I don't think there is a greater compliment than to have seen me perform a ceremony (Or two:) and then choose me as your Officiant! I loved being a part of your thoroughly modern ceremony! Your incredible vows and the opportunity for me to write your funny and sweet love story made your ceremony an absolute joy to be a part of. Came away thinking - I really do have the best job in the world! All the very, very best to you and your fur baby Aribus! -

Professional and personable
From the moment we met Tammy, we knew she was the perfect fit to officiate our wedding. Her genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. Tammy's calm and reassuring presence on the day of our wedding helped us relax and fully immerse ourselves in the moment. She delivered a ceremony that was beautifully crafted, heartfelt, and filled with love. We can't thank Tammy enough for her kindness, professionalism, and the unforgettable memories she helped create. She truly went above and beyond, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her by our side on our special day.Meaningful Ceremonies's reply:
Stacey and Cody I loved the true elegance of your wedding ceremony. I loved all the little details that made it so special. It was so obvious just how much your wedding ceremony meant to you both. Thank you for making me a part of it. As an officiant my truest joy is helping to create a wedding ceremony that is everything you had dreamt. Every moment was a pleasure! -
