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 -

Short notice, Great response
Weddingbella (Shawna) was absolutely wonderful from the beginning of our wedding planning to the end. We contacted Shawna in the morning, she responded right away, that evening we met with her, our marriage licence was completed and our wedding ceremony planning was underway. Shawna has a great personality and made us feel comfortable right from the start. Throughout our planning Shawna helped us with connections to other venders and responded right away to all of our questions. The day of our wedding was stress free and wonderful because of Shawna and we knew she had everything under control. Shawna is a true professional in every manner. We will be forever grateful for everything she did to make our day beautiful.Weddingbella's reply:
Oh Nancy and Jeff. Thank you for your generous review. It was SUCH an honour being a part of your special celebration!! You were so much fun to work with not to mention easy-peasy too!! I appreciate you trusting me with your ceremony and allowing me to join your hearts and lives at the most beautiful and quaint place in my own neighborhood. I look forward to receiving more photos when they become available. Blessings for an incredible life!! -

Emily Sent on 12/07/2026An amazing job at helping us write our vows and the whole process of getting legally married. She made us feel calm.
She was very professional and had different budget options. Always answering in a timely manner. she came dressed appropriately and was kind and helpful.Weddingbella's reply:
I think I might have married you on the hottest day of the year. Everyone was melting and I felt so badly for your mom. Thankfully we had shade and since it was a Mini-Matrimony ceremony, we got you and Laurence married quickly. Next up....your tropical ceremony next year!! Can't wait to see pictures of both ceremonies. Blessings for a fabulous 2026 and beyond. -

We decided to get married while I was visiting my (now) wife on vacation before traveling to another province. Shawna got back to us within an hour late at night and was able to schedule to marry us in just two days time. Originally it was supposed to be the next day but she was also very flexible and accommodating to our plans changing. We didn't have any witnesses so as she was walking to us to meet in a nice spot at Kildonan Park, she met a couple who were on a walk who agreed to be our witnesses on the spot. Overall a wonderful experience and we would greatly recommend Shawna's services.Weddingbella's reply:
Ahhh....you're ceremony was a new one for me!! I've had "witness lotteries" where I've pulled names out of a hat, or "can I get a witness" game during ceremonies, but I've never plucked complete strangers off a park bridge on a Sunday morning before! That was a lot of fun and you both were great sports. Best wishes to you and Ceyona with your exciting travels and life together! -

Super sweet and helpful :)
Had a tight window we needed to get married and not a lot of notice but Shawna called very soon after I reached out to her and she was able to help us. We just had a simple signing but she made it very specialWeddingbella's reply:
Lilya and Andrei....I am SO happy that you reached out to me and between the two of us, we were make your 26 hour window to secure a marriage license and get you two married in time. While I wasn't able to provide you with the license, the legal wedding at Tim Hortons the following day was fun! Lianne and Kai, my clients that day were thrilled to be your witnesses and you looked like a beautiful blushing Bride holding the flowers Lianne bought for you. Wishing you a beautiful life together filled with love, laughter and the best memories!! -

A touching last minute ceremony
Shawna from Wedding Bella was able to squeeze my fiance and me in for a quick ceremony within days. She was warm, friendly and gracious, and really knew how to direct the ceremony. Although it was quick, the ceremony was moving and special. Shawna is the consummate professional, and is warm and caring. The cost was very reasonable, and well worth it. 10/10!Weddingbella's reply:
Thank you for your review Aidan. The Quickie ceremony at your friends house was exactly what you wanted before you celebrate with friends and family later in June (this weekend I believe is your symbolic ceremony). You and Delia are clearly in love and were ready to take the next step in your relationship. I'm glad that I was able to make room in my calendar for you lovebirds. Clarence was a blessing I never saw coming!! After I discovered that he could play piano by just hearing a song once, my mind went into high gear and we came up with Canon in D Major, which he played beautifully leading up to your "I do's". Thank you for choosing me as your Officiant. Wishing you both many years of love and happiness. -

Thank you Shawna for everything!!!
We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to have married us. Shawna is incredible at what she does. She personally called us the evening we had sent a message on availability & from that initial phone call we didn’t need time to think! She is super understanding with life and the planning process - both my husband and I work shift work & often out of service so it was relieving to have her so accommodating. She made our planning process so simple and not at all stressful but enjoyable, she was the reminder in all the chaos to enjoy ourselves through it. Shawna made our ceremony so personal like she’d known us from years before. I cannot vouch enough on how simple she made the process for us and no matter what happens on the wedding day, she’s prepared and on the ball. Always a phone call or text away, and would respond in a heartbeat. She provides so much other information to settle you into your new chapter and you never had to worry about a single thing. We thank her so much for being apart of our day & highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming, caring, organized and personal officiant!! - From the Todoruk’sWeddingbella's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words. You and Bryan were such a fun couple to work with and even though you both work in remote areas where connectivity wasn't always great, we managed to sail through each step of the process smoothly.
I was very honoured to be a part of your day for a couple reasons; obviously because watching you two join your hearts and lives and pledge "forever together" was magical, but also because as we got to know one another, we made a connection between my husband and his hunting buddies and your family business...a 25+ year relationship which my husband holds dear. He misses your dad at the float base and was so excited to hear that you were holding your wedding there.
Blessings for an amazing life together (and for your careers you and Bryan are so passionate about). -

Naomi Sent on 06/04/2026Professional, Personalized, and with Personality!
Shawna has an amazing way of keeping things fun and personable, while remaining very professional at the same time. Her method of personalizing a ceremony is very flexible and easy, with so much room to fine-tune to exactly how you want it. Most of all, working with her was so much fun and stress-free! Can't recommend her more! Thank you, Shawna!Weddingbella's reply:
Thank you for your generous review Naomi and Alex! You were a fun couple to work with and it was my pleasure to create a ceremony that fit your vibe. Your families were both so warm and welcoming and it was the absolute perfect setting for your intimate celebration (the fire kept us warm but the sun came out and shone down on you both at the perfect time in your ceremony). Thank you for giving me the honour of joining your hearts!! -

Kunal Sent on 02/04/2026Fantastic officiant
Absolutely amazing experience! She did such a wonderful job officiating our wedding. Her words were heartfelt, meaningful, and perfectly captured our story. She made us feel so comfortable and truly made our ceremony unforgettable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a special and personal touch!Weddingbella's reply:
Kunal and Anshuman....you two are simply adorable! The moment I met you, you just made me smile. It was an honour to be a part of your day. You picked the absolutely perfect location within Birds Hill Park for your small intimate ceremony and while it was a cold day, you could feel the warmth and love from your friends and family. Chris Jensen captured your celebration SO beautifully....gave me shivers. Blessings for an amazing life together. -
