The absolute BEST!

Judy was informative, punctual and absolutely supportive. I had nerves that day and she walked me through it all. She was directive and kept our cermony on time and flowing. The wording she chose was absolutely perfect and made our day feel that much more special. We would and will going forward recommend Judy to anyone seeking an officiant here in Alberta!

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
