    Absolutely wonderful

    Nancy was very helpful with the planning of our ceremony. We decided to do a Handfasting ceremony, which she was more than happy to accommodate. She readily took charge at our rehearsal. On the day of, she made sure everyone was in place, had our bouquets, and new exactly what to expect next during the ceremony (ex: I forgot my bouquet at the signing table, which she covertly returned it to me without anyone noticing.). As well as, she moved out of the way as she announced the first kiss, that way out photographer could get a photo of just the two of us. Overall, she was extremely pleasant to work with and very accommodating.

    Nadia,

    Thank you so much for your kind review and attention to detail. I was absolutely thrilled to be able to officiate your wedding ceremony. I feel it fit you and Matt to a tee. From the romantic castle setting, traditional hand-fasting, and the groom's sabre; it all worked together to create a magical moment in time. I also liked getting to know your wonderful and supportive family. And lastly (I know I am going on too long), I loved your engagement story with the advent calendar. I will most certainly cherish your wedding for years to come.

    Very professional, knowledgeable and well organized.

    During my wedding I was so stressed cz I was so busy don't know what to do, I called in the last minute to hire a wedding officiant but i all of them are fully booked except her, she's also fully booked and she has a tight schedule but she still put me in on her schedule. She's really in organizing and set up, very knowledgeable, and professional and affordable as well. I will recommend people or couples to hire this person, she is really good at it, she does all the works and nothing to worry about.

    Maria,
    Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. It was such a pleasant and unexpected email. I'm glad you posted some pictures from your beautiful wedding. The weather and location all worked out for your wedding day. I know you were so nervous, but you did so well! There were tears of joy and many smiles that afternoon. It was certainly a priviledged for me to be a part of the celebration. And, I know, Maria, writing this must have been bitter sweet. You are in my thoughts.

    Wonderful experience!!

    Nancy was absolutely wonderful to work with and super accommodating. She did a great job of making sure everyone knew exactly what to do and that the ceremony was seamless. She also made sure to include personal details about my husband and I during the ceremony. She puts a high priority on making sure all the picture perfect moments are captured which was really important to me. I’m so happy we found her!

    Wild Rose Ceremonies's reply:

    Leslie, I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your very thoughtful words. I absolutely loved working with you and Brad on creating a personal and memorable ceremony. From the virtual meeting, the rehearsal in Brad's mom's backyard to the spectacular acreage ceremony at Lake Wabamun, I cherished every moment. So... maybe I should be giving you the 5 star review for being the wonderful couple you are. Much love to you both!

    Five stars are not enough!

    I cannot put into words how wonderful Nancy was. From the initial contact and interview process through to her flexibility, with creating a thoughtful and personal ceremony, all the way to the rehearsal and day of the Wedding. I cannot give enough stars and cannot recommend her enough. The level of comfort that she provided to me as the bride to know that everything would be delivered well and to my expectations. She was an absolute dream to deal with, and made a lot of my stresses and worries disappear.

    Wild Rose Ceremonies's reply:

    Oh my goodness, Brandy... thank you for the kind review! I also enjoyed working with you and Shane (and your whole family for that matter). Your kind words really touched my heart. I look forward to when our paths cross again.

    Nancy was wonderful!

    Was a wonderful ceremony and it was exactly what we wanted. Would highly recommend.

    Wild Rose Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you for your review, Corrina. I was so pleased to be a part of your wedding celebration! Our rehearsal the night before your wedding helped to ensure everything ran smoothly. You and Cam are blessed with a loving family and friends (and pet)! I wish you both much happiness together as husband and wife.

    Nancy is Amazing

    Nancy provided a video conference due to Covid restrictions for our initial meeting. We were provided with multiple ceremony options including using appropriate pronouns! When things changed due to a family member passing away, Nancy was supportive and ensured our tiny Covid wedding was perfect. I'm so happy with Nancy thank you so much!

    Wild Rose Ceremonies's reply:

    Jessie, thank you so much for your kind words. I loved working with you and Aaron. Your summer solstice wedding is one I will cherish for years to come. I will be reminded of it when I officiate at the St. Albert Botanic Park gazebo. Much love to you both!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Thank you SO MUCH Nancy for officiating our wedding. You curated the most beautiful ceremony for us! You incorporated our love story into our ceremony so perfectly and every single guest in attendance commented on how much they loved your officiating and wished they had you to marry them! You made us feel so at ease during the ceremony and made it easy for us to follow your lead while repeating our vows. You created the perfect flow for our ceremony, you instructed us and our witnesses on how to sign the marriage license properly, you were punctual, you always answered all of our email questions within 24 hours and were kind enough to reach out a week before the wedding to touch base. You made us feel so supported throughout the whole process and we cannot thank you enough for being part of our special day.

    Wild Rose Ceremonies's reply:

    Sara, Thank you so much for your kind words! They really mean a lot to me. I am speechless (which is no small task, just ask my husband)! I look forward to when our paths cross again and we can reminisce about your beautiful ceremony. You and David take good care of each other. Nancy

Nancy Beirnes
Marriage Commissioner

Good day, I am Nancy Beirnes and I sincerely hope you choose me to officiate your wedding ceremony. So, here is a little bit about me: I am happily married with two young-adult children. I have been an Alberta appointed Marriage Commissioner since 2015, and there is nothing in the world I would rather be doing. I believe there should be smiles and laughter at every ceremony and I try to incorporate memorable touches or personal stories in every wedding I am a part of. When I am not officiating, I am sailing, cooking or enjoying a glass of red wine. Cheers!
