September 2026 wedding - we love the marrying lady!

Before we even got married, we already had The Marrying Lady in mind as our officiant, and we’re so happy we chose Tade to be part of our wedding day.

Tade is someone who clearly knows exactly what she’s doing, and from the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable and supported by her. As an LGBTQ+ couple, it was especially important to us to have someone who genuinely embraced us and felt comfortable and excited to celebrate our marriage. Tade provided us with that and so much more.

Our ceremony review call was such a wonderful experience. Everything felt natural and easy, and we immediately felt like we could trust her completely. The resources she provided were also incredibly helpful, especially when it came to figuring out how to write our personal vows, choosing meaningful quotes, and envisioning what we wanted our ceremony to feel like.

On the wedding day, Tade was everything we could have hoped for. She was punctual, charismatic, warm, and incredibly animated, while also knowing exactly what to do and when to do it. She has such a natural presence and talent for what she does.

We cannot thank Tade enough for her care, support, and talent throughout the entire process. We’re so grateful she was the person who helped bring our ceremony to life, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant!

Organised, Communicative, and the perfect amount of sentimental

Tade is an amazing officiant! She listened to the details of what we wanted carefully and really took our non-traditional desires on board. She was incredibly organised and amazing at having us well prepared for the big day. I'd recommend her to anyone!

Lovely Officiant

We had a friend perform our unofficial ceremony and hired The Marry Lady for all the proper formalities and she made the process as smooth as possible! She was extremely flexible when we had to make a slight change to our schedule, and though the signing of papers was quick, it still felt quite special thanks to her guidance. If I have a second wedding (lol), I'll hire her again for sure!

Highly Recommend Tade for All Your Ceremony Needs!

We LOVED having Tade do our wedding ceremony!!! She was easy to work with throughout the process of planning, which was amazing especially with all the other wedding tasks we were having to plan. From getting a script she had initially written to hearing our (very minor) edits on our wedding day, Tade was able to make our ceremony flow really nicely.

We wanted a traditional ceremony along with a handfasting ceremony and Tade managed to seamlessly fit in every detail we wanted without making it feel too long and drawn out.

Highly recommend Tade if you are looking to add meaning and lightness to your wedding day!!

Warm, Thoughtful and Personal

We’re so happy we chose Tade to officiate our wedding! She was an absolute delight to work with from the very beginning. She took the time to really listen to our story and get to know us, and personalized our ceremony in a way that felt meaningful and true to us.

We especially appreciated her thoughtful suggestions for incorporating cultural elements into the ceremony, which made it feel even more personal and special. She also gave us lots of helpful, practical advice leading up to the wedding to make sure everything would run smoothly on the day.

Tade brought such warmth and care to our ceremony, and we’re very grateful she was part of such an important moment in our lives. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice!

The Marrying Lady is the Best Choice for Your Wedding

The process with Tade was so smooth, and the day went over so well. Guests still tell us how great she did for the ceremony. Tade also went out of her way to incorporate my wife's Korean heritage into the ceremony, which we both really appreciated.

Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience with our marriage officer. She was extremely kind, professional, patient, and supportive throughout the entire process. She made our special day feel even more meaningful and memorable. Everything was explained clearly, and the ceremony was conducted beautifully and respectfully. We truly appreciate her efforts and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a caring and professional marriage officiant.

Best officiant of Toronto!

I couldn’t have asked for a better person than Tade to officiate our wedding. We were running 20 mins late for our appointment and she calmly waited along with our family. She explained us the entire process and it was done within 10-15 mins. She’s funny, kind, courteous and a joy to talk to. Very reasonably priced and knowledgeable about the marriage documentation. Highly recommended as the best officiant to start your married life!

Great marriage ceremony

We chose the short marriage ceremony package and had a great experience. Tade was very responsive, provided clear information, and explained the follow-up steps well very well. She performed the ceremony beautifully, and we had a pleasant wedding ceremony filled with laughter and smiles. Thank you for making our special day memorable.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
