WOW! I could go on about how amazing Janice is! She was extremely easy to contact and get a hold of, and made sure all plans were gone over and any kinks were ironed out before the big day. Like many couples, we downsized our wedding from about 100 people to a very small intimate wedding on our front porch with only our parents and siblings. My husband and I are very laid back and Janice made the ceremony exactly how we pictured it. She is HILARIOUS, made the crowd laugh, cry (in a good way) and have a wonderful time. Her and her husband stayed for dinner with us and my family got to know them both. Everyone raved how well she did, and how great both her and her husband are, and how awesome the ceremony went. It was so wonderful to share our special day with them, and she was a big part of making our big day so special. Not only is she great at her job, my husband and I fell in love with her cats and dogs too. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Thank you again Janice for everything! We truly appreciate it.

Best Officiant!!!
We would recommend Janice and her services to anyone looking to hire a professional officiant. We were supposed to have our wedding in August at a hotel but when the Covid-19 situation came about our venue closed temporarily for several months and so we had to change all our plans. Janice was so gracious to offer for us to use her own property for a mini civil ceremony. She let my mom decorate the arch on her property and made sure our experience was memorable. Her sweet husband Stewart also helped out us out last minute as we didn't have a photographer that day. Janice really came through for us on one of the MOST important days of our lives. She is truly an angel. I cannot imagine having ANYONE else officiate our wedding. She is extremely respectful, kind and has such a loving soul. Before I walked down the aisle to marry my man she had a chat with me and just put my nerves at ease with her cheerful and positive demeanor. She said everything looks fabulous and she wasn't kidding. With Janice you will get someone who is funny, quick witted, thinks on her feet and knows how to get everyone to have a good time. We cannot thank her enough for making our day so special and memorable even during a Pandemic. Janice is the best in the biz of Love.

Wonderful experience. Perfect day
Janice was hired, basically last minute, for our elopement. She was quick to respond to my email reaching out, literally the same day. From the moment we spoke on the phone, her cheery demeanor and all around wonderful energy, told me she was the one! Janice is so sweet and lovely and really does everything she can to make your day special. No matter what the style or need, for me I wanted a simple, quick ceremony and she delivered! I am honestly so happy to have had her there. Here warm energy and enthusiasm and joy in what she does is very apparent in everything she does! I plan on hiring her for our ceremony where we will be able to invite all our friends and family, post covid vaccine, and she's already agreed! I just absolutely adore her! I recommend Janice for your event, no matter what you're looking for, I can just tell she really tries her best to be at YOUR wedding. She drove almost 90(!) Minutes one way to do my 3 minute ceremony! We joked she made her money for the drive LOL. This level of dedication is difficult to find. Her variable prices make it easy to choose what is best for you too! Again, Janice is absolutely wonderful, can't say enough positive things. 10/10 stars, big recommend.

Working with Janice was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
From the moment we met Janice, we were so happy to have her officiating our wedding. She took the time to explain everything during our initial meeting, gave us lots of options and ensured we were comfortable with every detail of our big day. Janice has a great sense of humour and didn’t hesitate to share that during the ceremony with her own personal touches. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Janice and would recommend her to all.

Excellent service!
Janice was excellent to work with!! She kept us calm (and sane) throughout the planing process, and at the ceremony itself. She kept the ceremony true to our style, while still performing it in her own way. We received so many compliments on both the way she interacted with guests and also her ceremony and readings. She was extremely accommodating surrounding our wedding planning process. Janice is highly recommended!

thank you Kaycee for the lovely review. It was my pleasure to perform your wedding. Thank you for inviting us back to dinner, your dancing in the evening was spectacular I have never seen Afghanistan dancing before and it was amazing. I felt so honoured to be part of your evening ceremony
