Thank you Keira and Dave, I really enjoyed working with you and creating a ceremony that reflected your amazing love for each other! I will never forget your vows Keira (you know what I mean!). I loved the location of your ceremony, the history of the walls and I felt safe within those walls as I'm sure both of you and your family and friends did. The location led me to discover some wonderful poetry for which I am also grateful. It was a joy to get to know you both, to meet your wonderful puppy (at heart if not in years), Riley was a star! Best of luck on your journey I know it will be filled with love and happiness.

Personalized and intimate ceremony
Rachel worked with us to craft a small, intimate wedding by Lake Superior. She took the time to answer all of our questions and ask lots of her own so that the ceremony could reflect who we are. Our ceremony was warm, beautiful and unique. It reflected our personalities and even included our sweet senior dog. It was a treat to work with Rachel. We look forward to working with her again this fall, when she will officiate a larger ceremony for family and friends.

Rachel brings warmth, thoughtfulness, confidence, and experience to everything she does.
Rachel saved the day during our outdoor wedding. Unexpectedly, the weather changed as we were about to begin the ceremony. In seconds she mobilized everyone indoors just before the clouds emptied a full rainstorm. Since we were including our adult children in the ceremony, and we had both french and english representations, we were grateful for her thoughtful suggestions and warmth. She created a really moving ceremony which made everyone feel part of our special day. Rachel’s confidence, friendly manner, and superior organization skills helped make our wedding a wonderful and memorable event. Many of our friends and relatives commented on her lovely words, and we are very happy to provide a recommendation and testimonial for her.

Corinna and Al, Thank you for your confidence in me and for allowing me to be part of your beautiful ceremony. Having your daughters be part of the ceremony was very meaningful to me. When a couple weds their children become family. This was very clear to all of us, that we were witnessing the joining of the 4 of you! We did have a bit of nail biting regarding the weather didn't we! But like your future - the sun appeared and shone down on all of us supporting you and celebrating with you. I am honoured to have been part of this wondrous occasion. Maybe I can do a baby naming for you (he he). Thanks again Corinna and Al, merci beaucoup et felicitations!

Great wedding officiant
Rachel made our wedding deeply personal. She took great care to incorporate stories and verses that were important to you, and she wove together a beautiful service that truly reflected our relationship. I can't recommend her enough.

Thank you Jen and Josh for your kind words but also for helping me on the path I currently walk. Creating your wedding opened a new world to me. Working with you both was a joy and who can say no to a wedding in the Montreal region! The ceremony drew from your different cultures and backgrounds and was richer for these differences. I will never forget the piper and the vivid fall colours. It was great to see two very different types of people (and by this of course I mean Leaf and Habs' fans) getting along so well. We were all there to celebrate you! Thanks again for your confidence in me, I will never forget YOUR special day.
