Wish we could take her with us on our destination wedding!!

Tade was so incredible, she made us feel so at ease and explained the process clearly. She even gave my (now) husband advice on how to avoid stepping on my train and veil on the wedding day.

We couldn't be more happy with our choice for an officiant, we wish we could take her with us on our destination wedding! I strongly recommend choosing Tade as your officiant whether you're doing paperwork only or having her officiate on the wedding day, she is incredible!!!

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!

You made our day special!

Tade officiated our ceremony with such elegance! In celebration of our 10th anniversary, we made the choice to travel and obtain our marriage certificate in Canada. Despite our tight schedule and tiredness from a long flight and jet lag, our mood quickly changed when we met Tade at this beautiful park. With a big smile on her face, she welcomed us and our friends. She handled everything superbly despite being non-native speakers, which could have been awkward.
Thank you so much for making our ceremony special and wonderful! Our friends recommended you so much, and I am glad that I asked you to officiate our ceremony.

Highly recommend!!

Tade is a natural. Communication was fast and easy and as soon as we met, she made us both feel calm and comfortable. She made this amazing milestone even more special by the way she conducts her ceremony.
Thank you!!

Lighthearted and Stress-Free Ceremony

Right from the beginning, Tade did a great job in working with us to build our perfect ceremony. Her wealth of experience really helped to guide us and answer any questions that we did have. With her input, we were able to combine various cultural traditions that were important to both our families into a wedding ceremony that worked for us.

On the day of the ceremony, Tade's calm and friendly demeanor, and her knowledge helped everything run smoothly. She was able to guide our wedding party on the specifics of the traditional components of our ceremony. We received great praise from our guests about Tade's lighthearted and fun tone during the ceremony, that really suited our wedding.

10/10, would recommend!

The most wonderful!!!

We had our small, intimate ceremony with Tade and she was AMAZING! From the moment I reached her location, it felt like I knew her for ages and she eased my fiancee and I and our families in in a way that felt like she was part of our family. She guided us through the process of getting married and made us laugh and gave us so much joy. Couldn't have been happier. Thank you so much, Tade!!! You made our day! I would recommend you time and time again for anyone getting married ❤️

The best officiant in Toronto!

Tade did an incredible job officiating our wedding. From the first planning meeting right through to the ceremony she was a joy to work with. She was so kind, knowledgeable, and clearly invested in creating a ceremony that would be meaningful for us. My partner and I come from different cultural/faith backgrounds and she crafted a custom ceremony for us incorporating our story and modified faith based elements. She also talked us through and took care of all the legal aspects so we didn't have to deal with them. I highly recommend doing the virtual rehearsal as the tips she provided were things we never would have thought of and made it so smooth and comfortable day of. After our ceremony multiple people complimented us on how special and enjoyable it was - we have recommended her to all our friends!

Very warm person who conducts beautiful wedding ceremonies!

We plan to have a more-traditional wedding in India and wanted a 'lite' wedding ceremony in Toronto to celebrate with close friends. We went in not knowing what to expect from an officiant. After initial conversations with a few, we locked in Tade because she was the only one who seemed warm and interested in our ceremony. We had a small ceremony with just a couple of friends in a small park that Tade picked. The park was lovely, and the way she conducted the ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt. Even our relatives who were dialing in remotely felt the love and warmth that she was able to imbibe in the ceremony. She went out of her way to make sure that we and our small group of friends were comfortable throughout! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get married!
