Carol was our officiant for our small and intimate wedding ceremony last weekend and she was amazing! Friends and family alike commented on how nice and friendly she was and how heartfelt her words were. The laughter throughout the ceremony was non-stop and she made Aaron and I feel comfortable and calm. She was very flexible and accommodating with us and was very professional. Pricing was very reasonable as well. Choosing Carol to marry us was the best decision we made and we would without a doubt recommend her.

Wonderful ceremony!
Carol officiated our wedding and she was perfect! My mother even commented, saying what a wonderful job she did, and how she set the tone for the rest of the wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony, complimented by our very personable officiant!

We were extremely impressed with the service provided. Our ceremony was very simple, at our request, and the quick response time was very comforting, being that most our planning was somewhat last minute. Our officiant from Royal Weddings was exceptionally patient, and accommodating, and our guests had only pleasant things to say, at the end of our day.

Simple Ceremony, Carol W.
We found Carol's name on the Ottawa Weddings Facebook group and immediately received a response back. Carol was able to FaceTime us (as we were planning from a distance). She got to know my partner and I quickly and got straight to work on our vows for the ceremony. Carol was informative, professional and timely. I was able to preview what was written and add in our own personal touch. Carol was receptive to all feedback and ensured the day was truly about us!
Day of the wedding Carol was on time and dressed warmly for our outdoor ceremony. She has a mic and was easily heard by all wedding guests. Our ceremony was simple, short and sweet. Carol has a great sense of humour and made the ceremony run smoothly.
