The best experience!

Reverend Francesca was absolutely amazing and hiring her for our day of coordinator and Officiant was probably the best thing we did for our wedding day! She was always there to answer my questions and made sure the ceremony was perfect. She made it so personalized and made sure she actually told OUR story and didn't make it generic like most ceremonies are. So many of our friends and family were amazed at how beautifully she spoke and how she knew so much about us. She also helped guide us for day of coordinating and let me tell you...I don't know what I would have done without her. She was such a big help and made sure I was organized and didn't forget anything important. She kept in touch with my vendors and truly took so much stress off of me so I could enjoy the day! I would recommend her to to ANYONE looking to get married- she truly is the best and went above and beyond. Thank you so much again for making our day extra special. Love Julia&Mike

10/10 Amazing

We were recommended Francesca by a friend, and I am so glad we had her officiate and coordinate our wedding. She helped me organize my agenda and elevated so much stress and worry throughout the planning process. She is so sweet, attentive and organized, I didn't have to sorry about a thing on my wedding day. She customized our ceremony and we had so many compliments and tears that day. She made us so comfortable as a couple so doesn't love the spot light, she put us at ease. If you are looking for an officiant I highly recommend Francesca

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Spindlers

We were so grateful to have Francesca as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, her generosity and genuine personality shone through, and on the day itself, her calming presence helped us feel at ease. She put so much thought and effort into customizing our ceremony so it truly reflected us as a couple. We couldn’t have asked for a more heartfelt and meaningful experience. We highly recommend her!

Touching but to the point ceremony

Francesca's ceremony was well written and personal. She sent us a questionnaire and we had a call. She took in account all our wishes and was pleasant to work with. The ceremony turned out brief but not rushed. Our guests were touched too.
My only note is I wish she offered a choice of outfits she will wear. I didn't think of this until after the wedding but it would be a nice touch.

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!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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. 😘
