Absolutely wonderful, matched our vibe completely

Rachel is fabulous. Right from the get-go she really got to know us so that she could personalize our service. She spent considerable time helping my husband write his vows because he’s a very tall, very quiet man and they were perfect. It was just us and our son are two dogs and our two best friends on the hill at our property overlooking our home. Rachel fit right in she was personable and smiling and upbeat, but still so professional. I would recommend her 1000 times over for any life cycle celebration.

Fall wedding 2024

Rachel was our celebrant for our small wedding this fall. Firstly, she is a joy to work with - a lovely and kind person all around and we really enjoyed all our of our meetings and conversations with her. Rachel crafted a very special ceremony that was perfect in every way - personal, intimate, light hearted and truly poetic. In getting to know Rachel we felt as if she was part of the family on our wedding day. All of our family and friends had positive interactions with Rachel and had nothing but great things to say about the ceremony and Rachel as a person. Thanks again Rachel!

Perfect day!

Highly recommend Rachel for any wedding. We live over 4 hours away and spent time researching different vendors for our Tobermory elopement. It can be tough to connect with someone over the phone but Rachel was so warm and personable that we felt an instant connection despite not meeting face-to-face. We spent time getting to know each other and she really learned about us and our love journey. She wrote a beautiful and personal ceremony that truly embodied our story. When we met Rachel in person, it was like meeting a friend. She was so professional, approachable and made the day complete. Thank you!

Highly recommend Rachel for all weddings!!

Rachel worked with us to do our own ceremony our way. We loved it! She even suggested a tradition from our background, were you cut a piece of a log with a saw and the couple does it together to signify our past and future coming together.
We even had wedding security and they had nerf guns and when Rachel ask if anyone objected (which isn’t normally in a ceremony anymore) our wedding security our niece and. Nephew stood behind us and acted like they would hit someone with a nerf bullet if they objected. It was amazing. Thank you Rachel. You made our day amazing.

Married after decades together

We didn't really know what to expect, or what an Officiant did -- what a delight it was to discover the answers in working with Rachel. She designed a beautiful ceremony for us! First, she spent time getting to know us and made us feel like we were with a trusted friend. Then she wrote a ceremony that reflected us thinking of sensitive ways to honour aspects that might have otherwise been hidden, and inviting us to edit and modify in any way that made sense to us. Throughout the process, Rachel supported us in countless ways.

We've been together as a couple for nearly 3 decades already, and were already deeply committed to each other, and yet the wedding ceremony she created for (and with) us felt important and meaningful.

We loved how she included our family and friends in the ceremony. Several guests commented that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended.

We recommend her without reservation!

Wonderful!

We couldn't recommend Rachel more highly. From our first meeting we were thrilled that we had found her (a friend/photographer had recommended her) and even more thrilled that she was available on our wedding date. Rachel is lovely, a good listener, kind, and has a great sense of humour; she took the time to get to know us and understand the kind of ceremony we hoped to have. Rachel's suggestions were always on point. We looked forward to her presence on our big day. It was a joy working with her and we would be delighted to recommend her to anyone in need of an officiant that will create a truly personal ceremony.

Farm wedding in Goderich

Rachel was a spectacular celebrant for our ceremony. We were very happy with the service provided for us and would highly recommend her. She was great at tailoring the ceremony to who we are as a couple. She also had many recommendations for readings and rituals we could use to make it special. Great personality and very organized.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
