Young Hip & Married

I want to be able to frame the ceremony in a way that draws attention to the beauty of what is happening in each couple’s unique love story.

My wife and I were married in 2014. On our wedding day, we were filled with gratitude for the people who went before us and made Canada a place where we could legally be married, and gratitude for the friends and family who surrounded us and had supported us through the ups and downs of our long journey to marriage.

When I’m not officiating weddings, I work connecting with hundreds of LGBTQ+ people across Canada and helping them find spaces where they can express and explore both their faith and their sexuality/gender identity.

To be able to take part in a ceremony that truly reflects your story and that is from the heart from start to finish is something incredibly unique. I want to help deliver that extra special experience for you because you’re worth it!

Officiating encompasses so many things I genuinely love doing – meeting people, writing, making an impact in someone’s life at just the right moment, and leaving people feeling heard, seen and valued. It’s how I conduct weddings. It’s how I conduct my life. And I can’t wait to grow on that journey with you.

My personal mission is to fill the world with love, one person at a time. And today, that starts with you! I look forward to getting to know you, hearing your love story and learning what matters most to you. I want to understand your dreams – both for your wedding day and for your life – and create a ceremony that is unique to who you are and what you love; a ceremony which you remember and treasure forever.

My wish for you is that you treat your wedding ceremony as the beginning of a new phase in your lives. Your wedding can be a reflection of who you two are and what you value most.

I believe in the power of ritual, and in particular those rituals that mark our lives in profound ways. Your wedding ceremony is one of those rituals that will shape and bless your life together. Every couple is different and brings a unique story to their wedding day. I believe your ceremony should reflect that and should be officiated by someone who wants to ensure your ceremony is as wonderful as you are.

After 15 years of marriage and 25 years together, my husband and I have learned to appreciate the things we have in common, while honouring and celebrating our differences. My wish for you is that you continue growing together in love, fully affirming and honouring one another through all of life’s journeys. I hope you make your home a place of happiness, beauty and joy in your love and support of one another.

Over the years, I have gained experience officiating all types of ceremonies – traditional, spiritual, interfaith, non-spiritual, and same gender. From elaborate church weddings with hundreds of guests to intimate ceremonies (including a surprise elopement in my backyard) I’ve enjoyed every one of them.

The best relationship advice I’ve been given and would like to pass on is that “the relationship you have with your partner is to be the foundation on which you build everything else on”. Remembering and returning to this will be your relationships success. My hope is that one day you can look back and confidently say that your marriage (not just your wedding) was the most rewarding thing that you have ever committed too!

I’ve been officiating weddings for over ten years and I love it.

I’ve been married to my junior high sweetheart for 21 years. We’ve lived and raised our two kids (now teenagers) in Calgary, Vancouver, Los Angeles, and now we’re back in Calgary. We’re enjoying our story and all the stories that make it up.

Each of our stories are different and have great beauty. For me, it’s a huge privilege to come alongside the story of a couple preparing to get married. This chapter of your story is a great one. It would be a joy for me to help draw out your best in creating and enjoying your wedding ceremony.

I am committed to getting to know you so I can make your wedding day special and meaningful. I first started performing wedding ceremonies through my job but have been honoured to marry many softball teammates, friends, co-workers and family members.

My hope for you on your wedding day is that the day is uniquely yours. I want to share the parts of your story that you would like known. I want you to feel like I got to know you well, even if we don’t have a lot of time together. I want to help create a special and meaningful day that’s just for you.

I’m a front-row seat kind of human and as an officiant, I get the best seat in the house. Getting to celebrate the beginning of the next chapter of your love story sounds like a pretty rad gig to me!

If every couple is unique (and they are), then every ceremony should reflect this. Your wedding is a milestone on your journey together – a milestone that should be celebrated with a bespoke ceremony that speaks to the significance and importance of your relationship. I would be humbled and excited to help guide you two as you create this milestone moment together.

A wedding is all about celebrating your partnership and who you are as a couple. It’s a wonderful opportunity to share snippets of your story and include meaningful traditions to create a day you’ll look back on with fondness.

I love connecting with people and discovering the beauty and uniqueness of their stories. I can’t wait to work with you to create a ceremony that reflects your story, values, and essence as you enter your marriage together.
