Victorious Word diligently served couples through tough COVID-19 pandemic times while ensuring the health and safety of all wedding participants. We continue to follow a thorough cleaning and health protocol to ensure everybody's safety.

My team believes in a unique ceremony that would reflect the couple, their dreams and hopes and not a perfect "the same for everybody" wedding where people tell you what to do, where to stand and how to move. Your ceremony should be as perfect as you would like it to be: you may like it spontaneous and you may like it meticulously planned, we are there with you. We don't believe in packages and standardized approaches, we offer our couples all possible help they need and tailor everything to their particular wedding. It's always our honour and pleasure to serve our couples.

You are looking for an excellent Master of Ceremonies (MC), who will lead your dinner elegantly into a warm and inclusive environment and will listen to your unique view on how the event should progress? We have that covered as well! Your MC will be there for you any step of the way to make the organization of the events go as smoothly as possible whether it's about introducing your wedding party, announcing the next part of the evening or coming to your rescue because you finally got to your meal but your guests clinked glasses to get you to kiss :)

Do you wish that your wedding ceremony would be done by that special person in your life? No need to embark on a path of paperwork, a one-time marriage license for 100 CAD and a long wait for it to be issued! Your ceremony can be conducted by the special person in your life and I will be there to sign the paperwork and register your wedding. We can also assist with wedding ceremony design, writing the wedding script, and the rehearsal, and simply be there for you to guide and answer your questions.

You are planning to do a rehearsal? Perfect, we will be there for you! We could lead your rehearsal by providing input and guidance, listening to and incorporating last-minute ideas into your wedding ceremony design while reducing your stress so you can enjoy even your wedding rehearsal.

You are looking for a simple legality ceremony? No problem, we have a Short & Sweet legality ceremony at a place of your choice that will take about 15 minutes. Our Short & Sweet ceremony is unique in the industry because even this ceremony is done the way you will still cherish the memory of it instead of just putting down a signature on the form similar to signing a loan. You will thank me later!

You are looking to elope and escape all the stress of planning a big wedding in Manitoba? We absolutely get it! We will provide some ideas on doing a design of your wedding at the destination if you need it. You will get a wedding script and some guidance on how to proceed with making your marriage legal in Manitoba and we will do the paperwork here to register your marriage before you leave or after you come back.

You have no idea where to do your wedding and you don't want to commit to big venue rentals that will cost you 2,500 CAD - 6,000 CAD not including linens and chairs rentals? And after all, you want to invite just a few people? In the summer, we have a solution! In addition to Marriage Commissioner services, you can rent our beautiful backyard venue for a tenth of that cost for up to 5 hours and seating for 12 people is included in the cost. Our backyard venue features a gorgeous new deck, an outside character fireplace and lots of flowers. There are no washrooms available and the price for this service reflects that but you could book portable washrooms to our site if necessary. The latest hour this venue can be used is up to 10:00 PM.

In one word? Effortless. We absolutely loved every part of our experience with Victorious Word for our civil wedding.

Where do I even begin? From our very first contact, Victoria was the perfect blend of professionalism and warmth. I still remember her thoughtful follow-up text after my initial inquiry—it spoke volumes and truly made me consider her even more.

Throughout the process, she was steady and affirming, which is such a gift when you're preparing to get married. It felt like one thing was definitely going right: Victoria was in our corner.

The ceremony was pure bliss—crafted with care and beautifully personalized just for us. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything felt meaningful and seamless.

Would 100% Recommend!!!!

We are incredibly grateful to Victoria for her dedication and professionalism during our wedding ceremony. Despite feeling unwell, she went above and beyond to ensure that our special day went smoothly. Her commitment to her role was evident as she conducted the ceremony with grace and enthusiasm, making it a memorable experience for us and our guests.

What stood out most was her conscientious approach to health and safety. She took every precaution to ensure that no one else was at risk of getting sick, demonstrating her genuine care for our well-being. This level of consideration and responsibility is truly commendable.

We cannot thank Victoria enough for her exceptional service and unwavering commitment. Her efforts made our wedding day perfect, and we highly recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate and professional marriage registrar.

Absolutely amazing

I had my wedding two days ago and I cannot believe how easy the whole ceremony was made by Victoria. She is wonderful, professional and very kind person and makes you feel comfortable with all the proceedings of the wedding without ceremony option.

Thank you for making our beautiful small event fantastic!

Best Commissioner in Winnipeg

Why would I say Victoria is the best? How do I know? Because I literally cannot imagine anyone doing it better. My new wife and I have been together for 25 years, with a 22-year-old daughter. So not exactly the norm. Owing to a health issue, setting the ceremony date (Easter Sunday) at our home was a crapshoot. And I made it harder by asking for a religious ceremony instead of just a paper-signing just a week before the date. Victoria did a full, custom, religious ceremony with music and candles! Much more emotional for us than we expected. Bottom-line: Victoria is a gem. I relied on her. You can too. Cheers, John Sullivan

Family and connection was the vibe we received from her

She started the ceremony off so well. In a ceremony with a diversity of people from Moldava to Haiti to India, she continued the family connections with her words and the love behind her words. She was fast to respond and delivered anything we wanted and more. She surpassed our expectations. If you want someone to start your new life with your partner right, she is the one to call! Thank you so much Victoria!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
