True North Ceremonies

I create personal ceremonies for modern couples that are engaging, exceptional, and unforgettable.

Here are some things you should know about me:

I love to …

• marry people of any faith or gender

• write (former marketing manager)

• speak in front of an audience (former radio show host)

• perform ceremonies in any venue or setting

• make your guests feel they are part of the ceremony

• create ceremonies that are relaxed, fun, and a little emotional

• tailor ceremonies to reflect any spiritual and cultural backgrounds

I am…

• extremely organized

• detail oriented

• a certified Celebrant (graduate of The Celebrant Foundation and Institute)

• an ordained Minister with CIMM

• licenced to perform weddings in the province of Ontario

• based in the Kawartha Lakes

• committed to community

I have…

• a black dress obsession (and usually wear one for ceremonies)

• a weakness for dogs, HGTV, and Kawartha Dairy ice cream

All to say, you are trusting me to play an important role for a very significant moment in your lives, and I take that very seriously.

“My Wife and I are truly grateful to have chosen Laura to officiate our Wedding. From the beginning, Laura acted with an enthusiasm, professionalism, and genuine regard for our vision, that assured us we were making the right decision in choosing her. Aside from the prerequisites, those qualifications one would hope for in an officiant: organized, audible, reliable etc. (which she definitely is) -- it's her love for what she does that will strike you. She love's the occasion. She is all too happy to be in service to your dream -- and that impassioned approach, while being truly infectious, is also wholly necessary, as she knows. Our Wedding, without a doubt, would not have been the dream come true that it was, without her. We are greatly appreciative of her gifts. Thank you, Laura!"

Classic Wedding $500

You’ve got the perfect venue in mind, and are planning a wedding that includes friends and family, and maybe even your dog. You want your guests to share in your love story, and to be part of a ceremony that is engaging, exceptional, and unforgettable.

Elopement $400

It’s the two of you – maybe you’re beside a lake, deep in the woods, in a favourite coffee shop, or in the comfort of your own backyard; along with two witnesses you are going to make it official and get married. A private ceremony for the couple and two witnesses, elopements can include exchanging vows and rings at your chosen location.

Just The Paperwork $350

Perhaps you’re planning your perfect wedding on a far-away beach, but want to ensure that you are legally married at home. Maybe your dream wedding includes a friend performing your ceremony, but they aren’t licenced to legally perform marriages. In this case, only the basic legal expectations from the Marriage Act of Ontario are stated, and the paperwork is processed with speed and ease.
