Amazing ceremony and excellent pre-wedding support

Tade is an amazing officiant!!!

Based on our first meeting, she sent us the bones of a ceremony she thought suited our vibe and we filled in the details before our walkthrough two weeks prior to the wedding. During our walkthrough, she gave us great advice on timing, private vows, legal aspects, and photo-moments. She has expertise and understanding that come from years of experience.

She was so good at commanding a crowd in a way that felt fun and genuine. It was lightly raining during our wedding and she got everyone's attention inside, made announcements, and got everyone outside very efficiently. The ceremony itself was beautiful in no small part because of her support.

Can't recommend her enough!

The Marrying Lady

We had a great experience with Tade.
She is a sunshine of a person; very positive, professional, and kind.
Despite opting for just the paperwork, Tade made the experience special by incorporating a small, heartfelt ceremony. During this intimate moment, my partner and I made a meaningful promise to each other, creating a beautiful memory.
We are immensely grateful for everything, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make their special day even more memorable."

Amazing officiant!

Tade performed our legal ceremony since we are having a friend 'officiate' at our wedding. The park where it was done is beautiful and quiet. Tade is professional and warm, and we loved the initimate moment with just our families. Booking was easy and she was flexible and responsive. Can't recommend her more!

The best officiant in Toronto

Tade is amazing! We had seen her officiate our friends ceremony and knew we wanted to have her do our own. We ended up asking her come to our home for a paper signing and she made it a truly special experience. I would highly recommend her for any type of wedding officiating service.

A truly unique officiant who was a bundle of joy

From the moment we first met you, it was clear that you weren't just an officiant, but someone who genuinely cared about us and our story. Your efforts to understand us and connect with us on a personal level meant the world to us. Your sincerity and warmth put us at ease, and we knew right away that we were in good hands.

On the day of the wedding, your presence was like a ray of sunshine amidst the nervous excitement. You took the time to speak to each and every person present, making everyone feel included and valued. Your ability to create such a safe and welcoming atmosphere did not go unnoticed, and it set the perfect tone for the day.

Despite the unexpected rain towards the end of the ceremony, your quick thinking and efficiency ensured that everything ran smoothly. Your decision to speed things up to spare us from the rain was a testament to your dedication and care for our well-being.

Tade, you truly went above and beyond our expectations, and we are so grateful to have had you as our officiant. You played such a significant role in making our wedding day a beautiful and memorable occasion, and we cannot thank you enough for that.

The best wedding officiant, recommend to everyone!

Tade was absolutely wonderful, we cannot say enough good things about her! We are eloping in June to Italy, so we did the legal paperwork signing with her. She explained the process very clearly and made it fun! She also helped us (especially me haha) stay calm and enjoy the moment, and made our simple paper signing still feel so special. She is a lovely kind person, and her positive energy is exactly what you want on your special day. She even emailed us afterwards with instructions on how to apply for our marriage certificate. We feel so taken care of! You won't be disappointed with Tade as your officiant, she is absolutely amazing!

We loved our experience with Tade!

We had a destination wedding so we just needed to get legally married in Canada and Tade was the best. She is super fast at replying emails, and explains the whole process very well! The "ceremony" was quick and easy just the way we wanted. Would 100% recommend!!

Great, thank you for this day ☺️

We are so glad we chose Tade for our special day. She arranged for us more romance than we expected from this process. Also, communication with her throughout the process was quick, professional and clear. Thank you for being with us on this day!
