Last update: August 2023

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I would love to talk with you about your vision for this magical day. My specialty is helping you create a wedding ceremony that is exactly the way YOU want it to be. It may be short and sweet, long and meaningful, spiritual or completely non-religious. I perform wedding ceremonies at large venues and at intimate gatherings. As your officiant, I will bring a sense of calm and confidence to this beautiful moment in your lives, a celebration to remember for years to come.

Scroll down for reviews! I am very organized and will keep us on track during the planning stage. We can set up a free zoom call to see if we are a good fit.

Congratulations again!

Peg Olsthoorn, Licenced Wedding Officiant

P.S. I recently joined WeddingWire. Here are some reviews for weddings that I performed before becoming a member of WeddingWire.

Peg was absolutely amazing for our wedding. She oversaw the rehearsal and performed the ceremony. She was so knowledgeable, professional, kind and courteous. We went over lots of sample ceremonies and we copy/pasted what we wanted included in ours - it was so helpful. I would definitely recommend her.

Working with Peg was more than we could have asked for. She listened carefully to what we wanted for our ceremony and helped us create something that really reflected “us”. She arrived on the day of our wedding prepared and ready. Thanks to her, so were we! We both found our ceremony to be very meaningful. She also gracefully incorporated some last-minute changes into our ceremony. Thank-you so much for everything!

It was such a pleasure having you at our wedding. Everything went well. I was very happy to have my kids do the readings. They loved it when the guests clapped for them! I want to thank you for your great work.

Peg stepped in when our previous officiant had to unexpectedly take a family member to the hospital. She was able to come to our rehearsal the night before and helped us with our ceremony so that it was just right. On the day of our wedding, Peg was a wonderful officiant and we could not be happier.

Amazing Officiant, highly recommend

We cannot express enough gratitude for Peg our wedding officiant. Her flexibility and accommodation of our venue choice, coupled with her kindness and effective communication, made the entire process stress-free pre- and post-wedding. On the day itself, she kept us on track with professionalism and attention to detail, ensuring our ceremony was seamless and memorable. Her incredible presence and dedication to making our day perfect left a lasting impression, and we are truly thankful for her contribution to our special day.

Calming, flexible, kind, and professional

We were so fortunate to have Peg as the officiant for our wedding ceremony, and we couldn't have been more pleased with her service. Peg was professional, warm and kind, making our special day even more memorable.

Peg's communication leading up to our wedding day was top-notch; she was responsive, and with high attention to detail. She took the time to incorporate our story into the script, making the ceremony feel unique and tailored to us. When I met Peg for the first time in person minutes before the ceremony, I told her I was a little nervous. Peg assured that was a normal feeling, but that she would take things slow and guide me through the ceremony so I had nothing to worry about. Peg did exactly that, and all my nervousness went out the window.

Peg was flexible as we got excited and ran down the aisle after our first kiss, forgetting that there was still a little more to the ceremony, and thinking on her feet finished off the ceremony as we reentered the ceremony room to take a group photo with our guests.

Peg was the perfect officiant for us. Calming, flexible, kind, and professional and we can't thank her enough for the lovely ceremony she hosted for us.

Peg is the perfect blend of warm and professional!

We chatted with a few other officiants before we connected with Peg. She was so warm and professional, which was the combination we were looking for. We wanted someone who would deliver the ceremony with warmth and a loving presence, but without being over the top or drawing too much attention. Peg did just that-she was so easy to work with, experienced in guiding us through the entire process (We needed all the help we could get about how to build a ceremony from scratch) and above all she was just so pleasant and sweet. We had many people come up to us after the ceremony to ask where we had found Peg. Everyone loved her! Peg was the perfect balance of serious but relaxed, energetic but not over the top. You will be in good hands with Peg.

Peg is fantastic!

Peg was our officiant for our September 9 wedding. Peg accommodated us last minute and was a true professional. She is kind, knowledgeable and an effective communicator. Her ceremony script was beautiful, one our guests will always remember. We totally recommend that you hire Peg to officiate your wedding.

Hello,

It is such a joy to work with couples as a wedding officiant. Your marriage is a life-changing event. My role is to witness this special moment in your lives.

In my first career as a midwife, I was also privileged to work with couples at a significant time in their lives - the birth of their child.

After the birth of my own daughter, I changed career direction and began teaching children. Over time, my teaching role expanded to include seniors and young adults with disabilities.

After years of working with people at their different life stages, I am thrilled to be working with couples again. As a wedding officiant, my goal is to help you create a wedding ceremony that is unique and meaningful, a moment that you will treasure for years to come. Congratulations on your new journey. I am so glad you have found the person you want to spend your life with!
