Best officiant services - couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

We had a fantastic experience with Connie as our officiant! We chose to do a legal signing and the process smooth and stress-free. Connie’s professionalism and warmth put us at ease, and she took the time to explain everything clearly. Highly recommend for anyone looking to handle their legal ceremony with care and attention. Thank you for making our day so special!

Could Not Have Asked For Better Service

Connie and her team absolutely blew my wife and I away with their incredible service, attention to detail, work ethic, and kindness. I can confidently say that our wedding would not have been as enjoyable and stress-free without them. From initial contact, through the planning stages, to the day of our actual wedding, Connie and her team were amazing to work with. They were extremely professional and were happy to cater to all of our requests. Our guests loved how lighthearted Connie made our wedding ceremony; it was truly one of the highlights of a very memorable day. Special thanks to Nicole and Kirby for their amazing day-of coordination, they went above and beyond in every aspect to make our dream wedding come to life!

Our experience was incredible and seamless!

Connie was an amazing wedding officiant to work with! From the jump, she made my wife and I feel incredibly comfortable and thoroughly went through all that we needed to do. The outline Connie provided for us to customize our ceremony was super helpful and made it easier for us to sort out our ideas.

We thank Connie so much for making our day special! We encourage anyone who is looking for an officiant in the GTA and abroad to book Connie!

Wonderful and highly recommended officiant and day of coordinator

Connie joined us as our pre day of coordinator and officiant. Connie was quick to answer emails and offered many suggestions during the planning process. She handed off the work she had done seamlessly to another coordinator to execute our day of coordination without a hiccup. As an officiant we could not have selected a better person to marry us – Connie provided many options during the process to allow us to pick a ceremony flow that was tailored to us. Her easy going nature and light hearted nature allowed for a wonderful ceremony. Following the wedding we have received many compliments from our guests and other vendors at the wedding noting how Connie was one of the best officiants they had worked with. I’d highly recommend her services both as an officiant and day of coordinator.

A pleasure to work with!

I cannot say enough positive things about Connie and her team. Madison was our day of coordinator and the day would not have gone as smoothly as it did without her! She was able to set up our decor at our venue and helped to navigate all our vendors and guests. This REALLY decreased the stress of the day. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

CONNIE BUTERA
Owner / Event Planner

Hi There! My name is Connie Butera and I am a self-proclaimed event planning geek :) I've been planning both private and corporate events for over 2 years as a professional event planner and project manager. Before becoming a mom and going off on my own, I worked for one of the top agencies in York Region. I have worked with some of the largest labels in the business and have planned events across the world -- large and small -- including numerous weddings, conferences, trade shows, sales, corporate parties, expo's, fundraisers, surprise events and more! I am a graduate of York University.

As of 2019, I am proud to have become an ordained Pastoral Chaplain and am now licensed to marry people in Ontario as a wedding officiant.

I would say that my niche is weddings --especially with budget brides looking to save some cash and DIY. I love coming up with great, cost-effective solutions and adding those personal touches to make your event truly unique.

In addition, I have a vast portfolio in Corporate Event Planning, having worked with some of the largest labels in North America! Have a look at my Facebook page to get a sneak peek.

Events are not just my business... it's my passion! I thoroughly enjoy what I do and working with my customers to pull their events off without a hitch! I like to tell them that I'm sort of like hiring that best friend that you wish you had.... that did everything they could to help you on your special day, but that you don't have to return to the favour to one day :)

In my spare time, I am also a proud mom to four children with exceptionalities, entrepreneur, health & fitness enthusiast and volunteer.

I look forward to the possibility of getting to know you better.

Sincerely,

Connie Butera
