Tamara is a wonderful officiant.

Tamara officiated our wedding this September and did an amazing job. She made us both feel comfortable and guided us through the ceremony with ease. Tamara was clear, well-spoken, and genuine and we highly recommend her!

Wow! So amazing

I honestly can’t say enough great things about Tamara! She made us feel so comfortable and calm! She was so professional and kind to us, even though we couldn’t meet her in person until our rehearsal it felt like we were meeting an old friend!

No need to look further than Tamara!

Wow! Tamara is the absolute BEST! She has wonderful energy and is incredibly calming (which comes in handy on a very stressful day!). We had great conversation in preparing for the wedding and she assisted with recommending readings for the ceremony. She was extremely thorough, kind and is the leader you want when your head is in the clouds on your big day. She has been officiating for a long time and is ready for anything, while being very professional and personable. Our guests all complemented us on our selection with Tamara. She has also officiated for a few of our friends as well. No need to look further than Tamara!

Unforgettable!

Tamara was a JOY to collaborate with for our recent winter wedding at Azuridge Estate Hotel in the Calgary, Alberta area! Her calm, positive and uplifting demeanor was apparent immediately, and you could sense her years and years of experience, professionalism and passion as a marriage officiant! Tamara was flawless during our ceremony, creatively incorporating my husband and I's desired readings, alongside the reading of our own vows. We had such a smooth and memorable ceremony as a result, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed her officiating as well - thanks so much Tamara! xo

Flexible and Kind

Tamara was so flexible and kind to us during the planning stages of our wedding! The pandemic led to us changing venues and plans multiple times and Tamara worked with us along the way to make sure we still got the wedding of our dreams.

Amazing and professional

We are so happy we went with Tamara as our marriage officiant. Due to covid our wedding was postponed 2 different times. Tamara never had an issue with this and was so accommodating through out this time. She was always available if I had any questions. The day before my wedding she was very calming and reassuring that everything would be fine as I was super nervous. She makes the ceremony beautiful with her words and her presence. She’s super professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Tamara! Thank you so much for everything.
