Nicole Sent on 17/05/2025Best Wedding Officiant!
Shawna helped direct my husband and I into creating a ceremony that was personal and very much us! She gave so much insight and helpful advice that was very much appreciated. We were so happy to have her a part of our wedding day!Weddingbella's reply:
It was a pleasure to be a part of your and Nathan's day. It sure looked like we were going to get saturated that day but just in the nick of time, the clouds parted and we were able to have your ceremony outdoors at The Leaf as you "really" had hoped for. You were beautiful and your groom so handsome! Blessings for a lifetime of health and happiness. -

Wonderful Day!!
Shawna was fantastic!! Our day would not have been the same without her!! Our wedding was very small and very private. She helped us though every step of the way with a high level of professionalism, attentiveness and care. She walked our family though our version and directed them without missing a beat.
I’m so grateful that we were referred to her. She made everything so easy and stress free. Highly recommend -

Perfect Ceremony Thanks to Shawna
We were so lucky to have Shawna as our wedding officiant. She was thoughtful, warm, and truly made the ceremony meaningful and beautiful—an unforgettable moment for us. Everything went smoothly - I’d even say it perfect. This was all thanks to her genuine passion for what she does and her exceptional professionalism. Words can’t fully express how grateful I am for her presence and support on such an important day in our life.Weddingbella's reply:
Veronica and Andy (Wei and Rong)....thank you so much for your kind and generous review. Even though we managed to pull your ceremony together within a few days, I'm glad you thought it was personal and special for you both. My only goal is to ensure that you received the ceremony you had envisioned. You and Andy are absolutely adorable and I can see you both having an amazing (and long) life together. Thank you for choosing me as your officiant. Blessings for health, happiness and an abundance of love in the years to come! -

Such a pleasure!
Start to finish we were treated wonderfully. It was a pleasure meeting and working with you! You went above and beyond meeting even our silliest of needs, you made our special day even brighter.Weddingbella's reply:
The honour was all mine Nathan and Autum. I felt such a connection to Autum at the Wedding Show and was hoping you would choose me as your officiant. Our love for the Blue Bombers and your scheduling the wedding around their schedule is a testament of your passion for our team (which you know I share!!). It was nice to finally meet you in person. I trust you and your family made it back to the US safely. We look forward till you can be here permanently with your beautiful Bride! Wishing you both a happy and healthy life together! -

Shawna was exceptional! Her time and patience was truly appreciated. Her commitment to ensuring we had the most beautiful day was incredible. She was so caring and thoughtful throughout the entire wedding planning! Whatever I wanted, she made happen. She even would send me sweet messages prior to the wedding day to help me relax, which helped a lot! I would definitely recommend Weddingbella for your special event! They will strive to make it your dream come true.Weddingbella's reply:
Danielle and Matthew.....you are both so frickin adorable and make the perfect couple. I can only describe the connection you have together is being one person....each side of you being a part of the other. It is rare for a practical stranger to get such a strong vibe of connection from a couple, but it was so obvious with you two. May you continue on this amazing journey, step by step...stride in stride, loving, laughing and living your best life for all the days to come! Congratulations! -

Nick Sent on 09/06/2025Absolutely Amazing Experience
Shawna was truly the best choice as wedding officiant. If you are looking for someone to make your special day even more special, look no further. Shawna is the best and is made for this job. Thank you again for such a wonderful celebration!Weddingbella's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words! You both greeted me warming after arriving in the pouring rain. Your calming demeanor was hiding your disappointment that we couldn't hold your ceremony outside like you had hoped. Thankfully, you had "the perfect" spot in front of your garden doors to have the ceremony, showcasing your gorgeous big trees, shrubs and vibrant green grass in the background. Your intimate ceremony, with just your folks in attendance felt like a warm blanket wrapped around us all on a windy and rainy afternoon. Thank you for including me on your special day. May you live long and healthy for many years to come. -

Jamie Sent on 16/06/2025Highly Recommend Shawna!
Shawna was the last vendor we booked for our wedding and you could have sworn she was one of the first. Shawna's personality is warm, bubbly and comforting. For our wedding we chose the Mini Matrimony ceremony, where we were able to chose from preselected pieces to build are ceremony. We were even able to make changes to the ceremony if we felt that something was better suited to us. We were also able to make unlimited changes. We didn't change much, except I had asked that all guests remain seated for the bridal entrance so all our guests could see. Shawna was able to adapt the ceremony and announce to the guests, in a manner in which they would understand, our untraditional entrance. Leading up to the wedding Shawna had called to discuss our needs, she met with both the groom and I separately prior to the ceremony, checked in with us after the ceremony, and even called us a few days later to confirm she was filing the marriage license with Vital Stats. The day of the wedding we had just put out a regular pen to sign the license, Shawna had brought a bag full of pens and placed out two very nice pens for us to sign with. We were very (happily) surprisign and saw those. Itlwas a very nice thought of her to do. She also had tissues ready for my husband and I within arms reach throughout the ceremony should we have needed them. We opted to do personal vows, Shawna would have written them on cardstock, however, we had informed her that we were handwriting them in personal vow books. Overall Shawna was professional, had great communication and was wonderful to work with. Shawna truly recognizes the time, effort, (and money) that goes into planning a wedding, we would highly recommend that you book her.Weddingbella's reply:
Oh my goodness Jamie and Ryan....I'm overwhelmed with your feedback. I'm so happy that your wedding ceremony met your every expectation. Even though we connected later in the planning process, we got right to work and started creating a loosy-goosy draft that included a ton of options for your to personalize with. You and Ryan wasted no time in making your selections and next thing we knew it, a pretty solid draft was in hand. You and Ryan were so easy to work with and your definitive decision making made the process swift and smooth. Your "day of coordinator", Danielle, from Danielle Detailed Events was a fabulous decision as she ran your rehearsal like a pro. Even though I didn't attend the rehearsal, you wouldn't of known that by how seamless the ceremony went. I wish you both a lifetime of good health, joy, love and laughter. PS...I'm glad you liked my Princess Pens!! -

Great Wedding Officiant
Shawna was amazing and thorough with all the options you can do for your ceremony. We are glad we got to include her in our special day.Weddingbella's reply:
Thank you for your feedback Eric. It was an honour to ceremoniously unite you and Lexie last month....which ended up being your 1st official Wedding Anniversary!! I knew I was not performing the legal ceremony but when I heard you announced at the reception that you actually got married in Ottawa a year earlier (to the day), I was shocked and joyful. It must have been so hard to keep that a secret all this time! LOL. Thank you for including me in your wedding celebration plans. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!! -

WeddingBella - A+++
We cannot recommend Shawna enough. She was extremely prompt, courteous and helped make our ceremony everything we had wanted. WeddingBella top to bottom was first class to deal with -- and if you are looking for the officiant for your wedding, big or small, look no further!Weddingbella's reply:
Your feedback is most appreciated. You both looked SO happy and relaxed at The Leaf last weekend. It was my honour and privilege to join your hearts and lives. I'm glad Courtney's niece and nephew enjoyed the little grab bags I just happen to have in the car that day. I'm sure the celebration at The Smith wasn't quite so boring for them! LOL Blessings for an awesome life together filled with laughter, love and of course...passion! -
