A kind, heartwarming presence

I adored working with Risa. I knew immediately when meeting her that she was the officiant for me - her warm, calm and kind-hearted presence, her thorough and professional demeanor, and her fully customizable ceremonies were just perfect. We wanted a personal and sentimental ceremony and she delivered just that. All my guests told me they were bawling! Thank you so much for everything, Risa :)

Wedding officiant

Risa was incredibly accommodating with our dates and timing, which made the whole process stress-free. Even though we didn’t know Risa personally beforehand, she made us feel so warm and comfortable. On the day itself, she led a beautiful ceremony exactly as we had imagined and even prepared heartfelt vows for us. We’re so happy we chose Risa — she truly made our day special.

Risa is amazing!

Thoughtful, kind, intelligent, and welcoming are the words I would use to describe Risa. We went for a simple signing at her home and she made the experience just as extraordinary as a full ceremony. You would be remiss to not have Risa as your officiant. I will be reccomending her to everyone I know looking to be married. Risa if you are seeing this, thank you for everything! We will remember you for the rest of our lives.

An absolute joy to work with -- hire her!

Risa officiated our August wedding (Humanist Judaism ceremony) and we couldn't have been happier with our ceremony. Risa really took the time to get to know each of us and learn more about our relationship, and this attention to detail was evident in our ceremony. All our friends and family commented on how beautiful the ceremony was -- and that you could feel Risa's warmth in it. Thank you, Risa, for all you did to make our wedding day the best day of our lives.

A Magical Experience

My husband and I had a very spontaneous elopement in a totally off the beaten path venue - Risa was the first to voice complete excitement and support for whatever decision we made regarding to our wedding.
She was nothing but attentive and exceptionally well planned. All of our guests commented on how personable and kind she was to both the children and adults alike. She even made the effort to bring in her puppet at our request!
10/10, highly recommend.

Risa Morris was an absolutely wonderful wedding officiant!

Her warm and professional demeanor made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, specially now days with the Canada Post Strike happening and the certification process. Risa’s delivery on the day was flawless, blending sincerity with just the right touch of humor (with her puppet). We couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate such an important moment in our lives. Highly recommend!

Respectful and Kind

We opted for a quick, cordial signing at the officiant's location. Everything was delightful - Risa was amazingly accommodating and respectful to everyone present, not to mention the homebaked cookies! It couldn't have been better.

The Incredible Risa Morris!

Oh, how to review such an amazing person?!
Risa was my high school drama teacher, someone who was incredibly influential in me becoming an actor, and then years later I get to witness her be the officiant of our friend! So of course I had to ask her to be my wife and my officiant!
Risa is just the best; thoughtful, hilarious, extremely kind and loving and accepting and everything!

Thank you Risa :) You've been such a huge part of my life and I truly cannot thank you enough!

A beautiful service

It was an absolute delight to plan our ceremony with Risa.

In the early stages she asked a lot of great questions and really took the time to get to know our story as a couple. Her overall communication was timely, clear and most of all very helpful. We received many options and tons of great advice. The day-of, she delivered a warm and memorable ceremony exactly as we had envisioned. She was very helpful afterwards as well. She made signing our marriage license a breeze!

You should hire Risa as your officiant! She'll bring a lot of insight, professionalism and personality to the event. You wont regret it

Officiant

I am a happy to meet you. I have come to being an officiant after Drama teacher for over thirty years.

I love being an officiant which enables me to be connected with people during a very meaningful and important time in their lives. As I have taught writing and written many scripts, I have been able to transfer my skills to creating personalized ceremonies that reflect the couples I am working with. I have also aquired a large library of many poems and readings that I can draw upon and that you can choose from to create your ceremony.

Besides being an officiant, I am a mother, and a wife. I am passionate about trying to make the world a better place and spend a lot of my time raising money and awareness in that regard. Being a Humanist, for me, means that my actions need to have meaning and that I have a responsiblity to try and do my best to do no harm to others and our planet. Travel and to seeing the world is another love of mine.

I hope I get to celebrate with each you soon.
