The last minute elopement

Judy is friendly, a delight, made the entire service easy. We called her on a Monday and got married as quickly as Wednesday, though it was possible to get married on a Tuesday as well. Judy made the whole process easy and effortless, gave us everything we need to know on how to proceed to get married.

A Wedding To Remember

Judy is a very professional detail oriented wedding officiant. She has made our wedding day a day to remember for everybody. At first, I was worried what the wedding would look like until I met her.

She takes the worries away and gives suggestions as to what might work or not during the ceremony. Outstanding service! I definitely will recommend her to people seeking a wedding officiant.

Amelia and Josh Winter Wedding.

Judy is an excellent wedding commissioner and helped to make our day even more special than we could have imagined. She was very responsive in the planning stages and helped give us insight on what the day would look like. Judy was extremely flexible and at ease when we pivoted from a small six person wedding at our house to a twenty four person wedding at a new venue. Both my wife and I were overjoyed with the words she chose for our ceremony as she beautifully represented our relationship and values after only needing a short consultation with us.

We would recommend Judy wholeheartedly to anyone and everyone.

Fantastic Officiant!!!

Judy was recommended to us by another officiant, and we are SO glad we went with her! I was hesitant to use an officiant for our wedding because I was worried it would be impersonal. But, I was so wrong! Judy’s words were so beautiful and she made our ceremony so special! I was also blown away by her professionalism. She made the whole process so easy, and it was nice being able to just enjoy the day. Please hire Judy for your wedding!! You will be SO glad you did :)

Destination Wedding

We are having a destination wedding but required to do the legal documents here in Canada. Having a very small ceremony, Judy was helpful on suggesting some locations we could look into. She was very professional and made sure we had all the information we needed. It was a small beautiful ceremony. I would highly recommend her!

A Heartfelt Ceremony - Judy Made Our Wedding Truly Unforgettable

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Judy as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, she brought warmth, professionalism, and a genuine desire to make our ceremony deeply personal and meaningful. Judy took the time to understand our story and thoughtfully wove it into every part of the ceremony.

One of the most special moments was her seamless inclusion of a traditional Sri Lankan oil lamp lighting ceremony. It was important to me both culturally and emotionally, and Judy honored it with such grace and respect.

Her presence was calming, her words beautifully chosen, and her delivery flawless. We received so many compliments from guests who were moved by the ceremony—and that’s all thanks to Judy’s incredible talent and care.

We highly recommend Judy to anyone looking for an officiant who truly goes above and beyond. She helped make our wedding unforgettable, and we’re so grateful to have had her by our side.

Judy is the greatest!

Stop what you are doing and get Judy to marry you RIGHT NOW! After discussing our wedding day with my husband, we came to the conclusion that Judy was probably our favourite part of our day. She was genuine, easy going, and probably the nicest person I’ve ever met. She was so supportive along this stressful process. She makes everything so easy and simple and takes care of everything! She was so awesome at giving us different options to do our vows as my husband is a chicken at public speaking, she also helped us create vows that were a reflection of our relationship. She really helped us appreciate how important it is to just slow down, take a deep breath, and enjoy some time together instead of letting the stress and nerves take over the day! The ceremony was perfect! Short and sweet, got straight to the point! The guests really enjoyed Judy and she made them laugh! We are so thankful for everything Judy thank you for being apart of our special day we could not do it without you!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

You’d be silly to not pick Judy

Price was great. She took care of everything. She took a huge portion of the stress out of it. It was easy, it was fast, it was smooth, it was simple. And then follow up, the streamlining of the process: it’s in the title but you’d be silly not to hire her if you’ve gotten far enough to see this comment.

Our Day Was Perfect Because of Judy! (Vows By Judy)

We honestly can't imagine our wedding day without Judy from Vows By Judy. From the moment we first spoke, she didn't just feel like an officiant; she felt like a genuine friend who truly cared about our love story.
Planning our ceremony was smooth and easy because Judy is so incredibly professional and organized, yet she brought this incredibly calm energy to the whole process. She took the time to understand us—our personalities, our history, and our vision for the ceremony.
On the day itself, she was a guiding force that helped us stay present and relaxed. The ceremony she crafted was deeply personal, making every single guest feel the warmth and sincerity of our vows. She has a true gift for making a monumental moment feel intimate and effortless.
If you are looking for an officiant who is not only amazing at her job but will also make the entire experience feel peaceful and personal, look no further. We would choose Judy over and over again!

Cozy and Warm Ceremony with Judy

Her vibe goes well with us. Her responsiveness prior and after the ceremony is really quick and informative. She is funny while maintaining the professionalism during the ceremony time. We have asked her for the a small speech prior to the vows and she was more than welcome and flexible for us to have it.
