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 smooth 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 simply 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 came back.

You have no idea where to do your wedding and with the current health orders 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 and you don't even know how many people you will be allowed to invite because Health orders change so fast? 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. Due to the COVID-19 situation, no washrooms are available and the price for this service reflects that. The latest hour this venue can be used is up to 10:00 PM.

    Unforgettable Wedding Vendors

    We would like to express our deep gratitude to Victoria, our irreplaceable assistant, who made our marriage ceremony magical and unforgettable. Also, thank you so much for your ability to adapt to different conditions. Since our ceremony was held without people close to us, Victoria was able to pay attention to all the guests, even those who participated via video communication.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful words and feedback, Elena. You are a beautiful couple with an amazing future ahead of you and it was my great pleasure to be with all of you on the day of your wedding!

    Wonderful experience

    Victoria is a pleasure to work with and made our day extra special. She is professional and personable, and was the most lovely person to have officiate our Short & Sweet ceremony at St. Vital Park. We are extremely pleased with the service we received from Victoria and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again, Victoria! You made the process effortless for us and your words during the ceremony were truly beautiful. Thank you for everything.

    Josh & Ashley

    Victorious, Above & Beyond.

    I can’t help but write a review on how amazing Victoria really is!

    Going through this during a pandemic sure isn’t easy. Our original date was August 2020, my husband and I decided almost last minute ( a month prior) that we were going to have a December wedding.. in a parking lot… while our family & friends stayed in their vehicles ( following the Covid - 19 restrictions )
    We both had our witnesses outside with us, all masked up and freezing our butts off. 🤣 Not once did Victoria complain and she was so supportive through everything.

    We also had mentioned that we’d be having a ceremony with our family and friends in the summer. She had the most beautiful ceremony speech written out for us, She even played along with some of the jokes we had and she laughed with us when we said our vows.

    One thing I thought was so unique was she had asked us what our wedding colours were, before our wedding ceremony she sent pictures of outfits she had that would fit with our wedding theme.

    I have nothing but GREAT things to say! Don’t hesitate! BOOK HER NOW!! 😁

    Victorious Word's reply:

    It was my great pleasure working with you and you both are so wonderful! Thank you so much for these kind words and the incredible opportunity to do everything in my power to help you and to support you! Thank you 💐

    She is definitely Victorious!!!!

    Victoria Lyonin was our officiant and boy did we make her task complicated. Not only she had to find a way to incorporate a sand ceremony and make it unique, ensure that our boys (my husband’s twins from previous marriage) were part of this ceremony and felt like they belong, she also needed to do it in two languages and hit it right with the two cultures. She outdid herself. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, she has managed to make it so personal, beautiful and a reflection of my husband and myself and our unique families. She has a very difficult task ahead of her, as my mother in law is a minister, but even she loved the ceremony. It compiled everything that we wanted and more. She managed to incorporate music and poetry, two languages and cultures, our vows that were honest and funky and our crazy families. She met with us as many times as we needed, had the draft ceremony in as promised and with plenty of time ahead, and frankly, the only change we did was at the beginning of it, which was a typo. We are so happy that Victoria was part of our special day and can’t imagine this happening in any other way. If you are looking for someone who can literally see your souls, she is the girl, you will not regret it. Thank you, Victoria, we love you!

    Very professional and great service!

    We found Victoria by google search. After speaking with her, she provided lots of options that suit our needs. She is also very reasonable in terms of price, and willing to travel to our location of the marriage. All I can say is that you can hire Victoria, and do not need to worry about the process. Just sit back and relax!

    Victorious Word's reply:

    Thank you, Wilson! It was a delight working with you both and thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your wedding day. Best wishes!
