5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Choosing Shawna to officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we could have made. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable, heard, and genuinely cared for. She took the time to get to know David and me, our story, our relationship, and everything that brought us to our wedding day.
Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful and so incredibly personal. Shawna has a true gift for storytelling and connecting with people. She kept everyone engaged, laughing, and emotional in all the right moments. So many of our guests came up to us afterward just to tell us how amazing the ceremony was and how much they enjoyed her.
What makes Shawna so special is that she doesn’t make you feel like you’re just another couple she’s marrying. She truly invests her heart into the people she works with. Her warmth, kindness, humour, and the perfect touch of sass made our ceremony feel completely us.
She didn’t just tell our love story — she felt our love story, and she told it in a way we will cherish forever.
We are incredibly grateful that Shawna was such an important part of our wedding day. She went above and beyond in every way, and somewhere along the way, our wedding commissioner became a friend.
If you’re looking for someone who will make your ceremony meaningful, memorable, personal, and full of heart, look no further than Shawna. We cannot recommend her enough!
Thank you, Shawna, for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be.Weddingbella's reply:
Thank you for giving me the honour of marrying you and David. I felt an instant connection on our first Zoom call and it just grew from there. Getting to know you and David was a blessing and I'm so glad you chose me as your Officiant. From our Zoom calls to phone calls, to Messenger video calls...our conversations were always entertaining, educational (because we always have something to learn from each other), and filled with heart. I wish you and David an AMAZING future!
GOD's blessing is DEFINITELY bestowed upon both of you and faith in him will move mountains as you navigate through life together. May peace, love and joy always be in your heart and home! xoxoxo -

Thank you Astrid and Rob! The Leaf was a fabulous venue for your Quickie ceremony before jet-setting off to Dominican Republic for your symbolic ceremony. I'm looking forward to seeing the photos from your paradise nuptials! -

We were planning a small and intimate wedding and Shawna helped us achieve what we wanted, even with short notice. We booked her 4 months out and she was very responsive and lovely to work with. She thoroughly explained the process via phone call and subsequent emails. We met her in person for the marriage license application and the wedding ceremony draft discussion. That’s when she also took the time to get to know us as a couple, including our background, love story, and preferences for our ceremony.
She helped us plan our ceremony, including logistics. Even though our ceremony is short and intimate, there were enough options to choose from in terms of personalization. She’s also always quick to respond to any questions that we have.
During the ceremony, she was very professional, personable, kind, and funny. She has an amazing way of telling our love story and incorporating it into the ceremony. Our wedding was truly special, memorable, lovely, and intimate.
Our family and friends also commented how amazing Shawna is!
We are so grateful to Shawna for everything! She really went above and beyond from our initial conversation and even after the wedding.
We highly recommend Shawna to any couple who are looking to get married.

Your words touched my heart Monique and Demetrio! Thank you!
Your family and friends were SO excited for you and wanted your ceremony to be incredibly special..... I could feel the love and support from each one of them. How ironic that your photographer was the same one I ran into at Leo Mol Gardens a few days prior to your ceremony. My husband and I make a great team and we were honoured to provide you with both your marriage license and officiate your ceremony. Thank you for doubly blessing us! The sun was shining and it was an exceptional Fall October day for your celebration and the only thing more radiant was Monique...you were absolutely stunning and Demetrio made a very handsome groom as well. It was a pleasure to have been a part of it. Thank you. -

Sarah Sent on 03/10/2026Amazing!!!
Shawna was amazing, very kind, made the whole process super simple, easy and made the ceremony one to remember.
The whole process was explained in the meeting, the vows were slowed and very manageable to repeat. I would definitely recommend Shawna to everyone.Weddingbella's reply:
Thank you for your feedback Sarah. You and Eric were so excited to be married and I was equally excited to be a part of your special day. You looked SO BEAUTIFUL and I was elated that Eric was able to hold you in his arms at the altar, unassisted! Blessings for an amazing life as you walk it out...hand in hand....and with so much love!! -

Rachelle Sent on 20/09/2026The best officiant ever!
Shawna (Weddingbella) is the best officiant out there and does it all. My now husband and I asked our grandmother to officiate our wedding but didn’t want to pay the hefty costs associated with getting my grandmother certified to do so. That’s where Shawna came in. She sat down with me and my husband and we talked over our vision of having my grandmother officiating our wedding. Shawna told us it could be done, and it was. Shawna stood there on the day of my wedding and witnessed my grandmother marry me and my husband, then she signed the papers! No crazy fee’s required! Not only did she listen to the legality of it all, but she wrote out our ceremony in collaboration with my grandmother to make sure it was a professional wedding ceremony, but still in my grandmothers words and me and my husbands vision. It was such a special moment with me, my grandmother, and my husband and one that I will hold with me for ever. Shawna made our wedding ceremony dreams come true and I am forever grateful. Wedding Bella takes the time to get to know you personally, gets to know your vendors well, and coordinates the most magical ceremony of your dreams. Choosing Weddingbella is a decision you won’t regretWeddingbella's reply:
Rachelle and Alex...your words made my heart melt! Thank you! When you contacted me to inquire about our Helping Hand services, you were very clear on what you needed from me, but to be very honest, I think your Gran could have created a beautiful ceremony all on her own. She is smart, witty and isn't afraid to talk in front of a crowd, which made her a FABULOUS choice for your "personal officiant"! I had fun meeting with the three of you to chat about what you had envisioned, then Gran and I's follow up chats as we pieced your ceremony together.....together! I'm so glad that I had a bottle of the chocolate and raspberry wine at home to donate to your chocolate and wine ceremony. When you met my husband and I to complete your marriage license in summer, we even sampled a little to make sure you and Alex liked it....your Gran liked it too!! After your chocolate melted overnight, I was relieved to find a replacement at the local ESSO on the way to your ceremony, so that you had all the goodies for your unity ceremony. Watching your Gran officiate at Hawthorn Estates was a joy and she did an AMAZING job!! So much so, that when I reached out to tell her what a wonderful job she did, she told me that she may get her Officiants certification so that she can officiate more ceremonies in the future....and she'd be fabulous! Congratulations to you and Alex! I'm very happy that you were pleased with the Helping Hand services that I provided, leaving you with memories to last a lifetime. Wishing you both the most amazing life together!!
Cheers,
Shawna -
