Wedding Ceremonies and Readings

What couples say about Ottawa Wedding Ceremonies

• "John Hyland was an absolute pleasure to work with, kind, enthusiastic, always helpful.....and most importantly did not run when we told him we'd be having the ceremony outdoors in the middle of a Canadian winter!!! He and his wife Donna truly helped to make the ceremony a beautiful, unique (how many people use Tiki torches as unity candles - one of John's great ideas!) and memorable occasion!!!"

  Ethan and Anouck

• "Hi Bruce Wheatcroft, Everyone had a great time & the whole evening was perfect & just the way we wanted it. Many people are still talking about the great food. Thanks for all your help!!!!! "

  Vanessa & Eric

• "A simple "Thank You" for Mike Caldwell does not seem enough to express all the gratitude we have for you.! Eric and I, and all our family and friends, had the most wonderful wedding day. I think *Magic* should be the first word to describe the atmosphere that day. And creating such an atmosphere was possible because of many factors : A gorgeous, gorgeous venue, Mother Nature, a smart and funny and entertaining celebrant and all the freedom we needed to have our wedding our way. Having a green wedding impressed our guests who were absolutely pleased. Wishing you all the best of life, "

  Mélanie et Eric

• "Even before the ceremony began, Evy went out of her way to personally greet each of us helping to alleviate some of the pre-wedding jitters. During the ceremony, Evy was the ultimate professional, making us feel comfortable and relaxed. Having Evy as our officiant was a treasure that we will never forget. Our perfect day was made even better by having Evy Wilson perform the wedding ceremony. Thank You "

We have her business card and we are telling everyone who is getting married that they would be smart to use Carol. We can't say enough how wonderful she made us feel. She took away our stress, metting with her was great. She was just what we needed. She asked us questions and taylored the ceremony to our personalities and those of our guests. It was perfect :)"

From our very first meeting with you, we knew that you were the perfect Officiant for us. We appreciate that you took the time with us to make sure that every detail of our ceremony reflected us as a couple. Your fantastic personality and your kindness made it a pleasure to both work with you in planning our ceremony and to have you perform our ceremony at the wedding. You exceeded our expectations in every way and we could not be happier or more thrilled with the ceremony that you helped us to create and that you delivered so beautifully. "

Numerous guests commented about her elegance and warm disposition. It was the perfect day! Thank you, Jocelyne!"

• "Rob Campbell was fantastic and I really don't think we could have asked for more. He was accommodating and understanding with the confusions and paperwork issues we had before the wedding, he adapted his ceremony to meet both of our different wants and needs and performed brilliantly on the day of the ceremony. Rob brought a sense of humour and of joy to the ceremony without sacrificing any of the sancitiy and dignity one would expect from a wedding."

  Katherine & Allan

• "What can we say about you? You were phenomenal, outstanding...words fail. We were so impressed at how you helped the boys unpuzzle the whole attaching the boutonniere issue, to helping our photographer out by getting people to look at the camera, and the ceremony was beautiful, you were lots of fun and we had some good laughs. Wedding days should be fun because it is the beginning of getting to really learn to laugh at life. Kathleen Everett , Kevin and I want to thank you, we loved our wedding day and you being a part of that day made it even better. "

Drew would like to thank you for making the longest minutes of his life so relaxing and comforting with your soft spoken nature and calming humour before seeing me. Also being so patient with saying his vows in french. Our family and friends all thought it was a brilliant idea of having the celtic handfasting tradition with the fabric making the knot ! Voici trois photos de la cérémonie. Merci encore d'avoir fait le service dans les deux langues. Tout le monde a apprécié ce beau geste ! "
