lovey to work with

We had an amazing experience with Weddings by Francesca, and we were so lucky to have Reverend Bianca as our officiant for our October 2024 wedding! From the very beginning, communication with Reverend Francesca's team was seamless, making the whole process stress-free and enjoyable.

Reverend Bianca was wonderful to work with. She took the time to ask thoughtful questions about us as a couple, ensuring that our ceremony felt deeply personal and perfectly tailored to who we are. She listened to our wishes and delivered exactly what we hoped for—a short and sweet ceremony that was heartfelt and meaningful.

Her warmth and professionalism made us feel at ease, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us. If you’re looking for an officiant who will truly take the time to understand your story and create a beautiful, customized ceremony, we highly recommend Weddings by Francesca and Reverend Bianca!

Wonderful Officiant

Francesca was so wonderful to have as our officiant!! She was honest about the expectations, and realistic about what we’d be feeling and so she was so helpful in every step of the way! Honestly it wouldn’t have been the wedding of our dreams without her. Cannot recommend her enough ❤️

Fantastic experience!

We worked with Francesca for our October 2024 wedding in Whitby and are so happy with how the entire experience went. She made our ceremony personal and authentic to us as a couple, we also received a number of positive comments from guests who echoed the same sentiment, saying how much it fit us. She was kind, patient, flexible and just had the best energy throughout the entire process. As someone who had many questions/worries, she really put me at ease and was a true professional! I would highly recommend her, 10 out of 10!

Made our Ceremony Perfect!

Rev Francesca absolutely made our ceremony perfect! We had a couple guidelines such as no religion & some humour added into ceremony and she honoured our requests more than we could have imagined. Every email, phone call and zoom call made us feel more and more comfortable in the process and she even answered some questions we had outside of the ceremony duties. If you’re someone who is a bit nervous in front of people, she will make sure you’re ok and even discretely give you a moment if you’re overwhelmed while giving you some encouragement. We highly recommend Rev Francesca to anyone looking for a perfect ceremony designed to fit your personality and wishes. Thank you so much Rev Francesca!
P.s, no need to ask her to step aside during the first kiss! She did that without us asking and also stepped aside earlier in the ceremony for our photographer could get some amazing shots of just us two.

The best!!

I cannot recommend her enough!! Reverend Francesca did an outstanding job with our ceremony. She is personable, funny, down to earth, and all around such a lovely human being. She knew how nervous I was about the order of a ceremony and completely put my nerves at ease. She went over things, simplified them and had me feeling confident for my wedding day. During the ceremony she talked to our guests with such ease and made it overall a beautiful experience. She’s a gem! Thank you Reverend Francesca!! ❤️

Hey there!

It's me Reverend Francesca. Thought I would jump in and introduce myself since you decided to visit my page! I thank you and appreciate you!

For those who don't know me, I have been in the industry for 20 years now.🥂 I started as a wedding planner and day of coordinator, then adding designing and florals to the mix with styling. And lastly became a Reverend in 2020. Time flies when you are having fun!

I now focus on Officiating and Partial Planning and truly am enjoying this chapter in my life. I have been married to my soul mate for 25 years and have a wonderful daughter who truly keeps me humble and on my toes! I love spending time with them creating incredible memories and traveling! We also have our fur baby "Paws" who is a tuxedo cat with his own personality and agenda. LOL he is a little bugger I tell you! Which pet isn't, right!

Laslty, I have been helping our communities thrive for as long as I can remember, volunteering for great causes and charities which really gives me another purpose to smile about, helping those in need. 😘
