Amazing Officiant for Unbeatable Value!

Choosing Tade was one of the best decisions we ever made. She was incredibly responsive right from the start and made booking our preferred date and time seamless. Her pricing was very fair and competitive, especially considering the level of care and service she provides.

She went above and beyond by clearly explaining the marriage process and guiding us through the next steps for obtaining our marriage certificate, which gave us complete peace of mind.

What truly exceeded our expectations was the ceremony itself. What we assumed would be a simple legal signing turned into a heartfelt and meaningful moment. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and even made an effort to connect with our witnesses, which made the experience feel warm and personal.

Tade also shared amazing tips for our upcoming wedding day — from posing for photos to making our first kiss look great on camera. Those thoughtful touches showed how much she truly cares about her couples.

She made our signing so special, and we are incredibly grateful. We highly, highly recommend Tade to any couple looking for an officiant who is professional, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your moment unforgettable.

We Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Officiant!!

Tade is incredibly warm and professional. She made our elopement feel so special and personal. We appreciated how flexible she was with our plans and how easy she made everything - we love that she was able to provide witnesses as well. Our ceremony was heartfelt, intimate, and exactly what we hoped for. We can’t recommend her enough!

Beautiful experience

We asked Tade to preside of a ceremini in the park in October. She was professional, warm, and fun! In our tiny 15 minute ceremony, she managed to create an intimate atmosphere where it felt like the world stopped for a few minutes. All in a public park! She is a brilliant officiant. Thank you Tade!

Felt Like Being Married by Family — We Loved Tade!

Choosing Tade (TheMarryingLady) as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, she brought such warmth, professionalism, and genuine care to the process. She guided us through all the legal requirements with ease and made sure we understood every step. Each of our consultations felt like catching up with an old friend — she took the time to get to know us, our story, and what mattered most for our ceremony. On the wedding day, she delivered a ceremony that was heartfelt, inclusive, and perfectly us. She beautifully incorporated cultural and personal elements that made it deeply meaningful for us and our families. Her calm and kind energy set the per…

Amazing amazing officiant!

TADE WAS AMAZING! From our first email, to phone call, to the days leading up to our wedding, to the big day- she was WARM, PROFESSIONAL & MADE US FEEL SO CALM IN THE STORM OF WEDDING PLANNING!
She created the most beautiful, true to us, ceremony from our phone call... helping us make our dream of a HANDFASTING CEREMONY come true... she helped us to have our independent rehearsal dinner go flawlessly... and EVERYBODY came up to us after the wedding to tell us she was THE BEST OFFICIANT they had ever seen! We cannot recommend her enough! She can truly do anything! Chelsea & Oliver

Thank you Tade!

Tade was great to work with, we wanted a paper signing ceremony in Toronto as we’re getting married abroad in a few months. Tade was responsive and organized, and what we thought would be a quick paperwork visit was a lovely, heartfelt, genuine and emotional interaction. She truly made it feel special and we are so grateful.

Outstanding Experience

The Marrying Lady is a great choice,
We met at an agreed upon location which was easy to find, she was early which was great because we were early as well. She was super friendly and very charismatic, I had requested a signing of the documents however she provided a simple service that is very memorable. My new husband and I were extremely happy with her. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a great experience.

Tade exceeded our expectations and gave us an amazing cere-mini!

Tade did an amazing job with our cere-mini!! We had such a great time, and it was way more fun than we expected! We planned a destination wedding after the cere-mini (officiated by a friend), and Tade was so sweet to give us many different tips on how to create the perfect first kiss, and helped my now husband navigate my train and veil! Because of Tade, both of our weddings (haha) went perfectly! I would totally recommend her for any type of wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
