    Unforgetable

    Karen is amazing, from initial contact to the congratulations email after our wedding was over, it was one of the most positive experiences we've had. Karen, thank you for all your kindness and hard work to make our day memorable for the rest of ours, our family, and friends lives. We had a small intimate wedding and Karen's touch took it over the top, her spirit brings love and light to the ceremony space. I still have members talking about how wonderful, welcoming, and beautiful the ceremony was (over a month later), emphasising Karen's work. She tells YOUR story, not a copy and paste cookie cutter script. She sends a questionnaire, for the bride and groom to fill out separately and from that she generates a breathtaking tale sharing how we got to this day. Easy to work with, helpful, and very kind. There were people of my wedding party that are now talking about renewing their vows with Karen. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Karen.

    My thanks, Marla! It was such a joy to meet your family and play a part in your special day. Bright blessings for your future.

    Magically Unique

    Thank you so much Karen.
    Our wedding ceremony was magical, unique, and so enjoyable. Your questions and communication was thorough, even when you were dealing with personal family matters. Our ceremony was the highlight of the day, all of our guests were so impressed and loved every aspect of it, and most importantly my husband and myself had an amazing time. You incorporated every single aspect we requested, and went above and beyond with matching your words to the exact feeling we wanted to portray.
    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being such a huge part of our wedding day. We will remember you always.

    Thank you for your kind words, Meriem. It was a joy to share the day with your family and friends. Your ceremony reflected the magic in your relationship. Bright blessings!

    We would not hesitate to recommend Karen

    From the start of our interaction, Karen made it all about us and what we wanted. Yet she added some valuable insights and helped us every step of the way with our vows. She took time to get to know us as a couple and so thorough which was why our wedding turned out so perfectly. Highly recommend going with Karen, such a memorable ceremony.

    Tidal Ceremonies's reply:

    Many thanks, Wendy. Such a pleasure to get to know you both and reflecting that to your friends and family. Blessings your way!

    Compassionate and accommodating celebrant

    Karen was very accommodating to us on our big day. After a sudden loss of a family member just prior to the ceremony, Karen stepped in to help us on short notice after we re-planned our entire ceremony. Her delivery was natural with a good flow and made everyone feel welcome and involved at the ceremony. We highly recommend Karen to anyone searching for a celebrant.

    Beautifully Personal Ceremony

    Karen writes an amazing ceremony based on your love story. It's beautiful and personal and brings a lovely touch to a wedding. I would wholly recommend her to anyone wanting a unique ceremony based entirely on your relationship.

    You do, however, need to be willing to put in the work to tell that story. If you're looking for an officiant that will marry you without any effort on your part, she might not be the one for you.

    Tidal Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you, Dayna. Your wedding ceremony wonderfully celebrated your marriage in the beautiful Alberta autumn. Hoping your memories are filled with moments from the day.

    Amazing Officiant

    Karen was an amazing Officiant and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful ceremony. If you are looking for a personal ceremony that shares your love story, she will do an amazing job. Karen was on top of everything and made the process of planning the ceremony and writing vows easier. Thanks again, Karen!

    Tidal Ceremonies's reply:

    What a blessing to see you married on the family farm. You created a beautiful day that your families will share and remember. Take care of each other! Thank you.

    Beautiful ceremony

    Karen was more than we could have hoped for in an officiant for our intimate wedding. She asked us detailed questions in order to make a beautiful personalized ceremony for us and our guests. She also looked over our vows ahead of time to make sure they were balanced with each other and offered many great suggestions for readings and how to include our loved ones in the ceremony. I can't recommend her services enough. You would be lucky to be married by such a warm, kind and professional woman.

    Tidal Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you! You created a lovely, intimate backyard ceremonial space for your wedding. It was a pleasure to support your family.

    Lovely and unique ceremony

    Karen is a fantastic officiant, we couldn't have asked for a better one to guide us through the process. She met and emailed with us multiple times, and was always quick to reply. We had vague ideas for a handfasting and slightly Nordic style wedding which she effortlessly wove into a full ceremony along with a family tradition and much loved reading. Our friends and family couldn't stop commenting in the receiving line how much they enjoyed the personalization. More than a few even said it was the best ceremony they had ever been to! Looking back at our photos I can easily recall all the teary heartfelt parts as well the laughs we shared. Thank you, Karen, it meant so much to us.

    Tidal Ceremonies's reply:

    My thanks for your kind words, Annalise! It was my pleasure to create a ceremony that is meaningful and memorable for you two. Bright blessings your way.

    Karen was Amazing from the start, she was personable, professional and went above and beyond for us even after the wedding. My guests and I were in complete awe of her work. She made our ceremony 100% more meaningful than we expected. Thank you so much Karen!

    Amazing, personal and super fun

    We had such a fun experience with Kestrel. She really made our ceremony into exactly what we wanted. We got to know her and her husband really well while we worked together on our special day, they came to our house a few times and had tea while we wrote and organized our ceremony. They even stayed and drank with us for a while after the wedding! I totally loved the experience, Kes was fun, personal, open to our ideas, and suggestive of her own. I couldn’t have asked for more. The only setback we had was a tiny spelling error on the certificate itself, but that was very quickly corrected and we had no trouble filing our marriage at the registry.
    Honestly, we can’t say enough good things about Kes. She was just what we needed in our lives.

    Tidal Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you Jennifer. It was such a blessing to support the journey your family made this summer. I am so happy we are remaining friends!
