“Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone – we find it with another.” – Sarah Bunnett-Gibson, Wedding Officiant
As a GTA Officiant, I am a dedicated professional who performs highly customised marriage, baby blessing, memorial and funeral services.

- Sensitive and creative inclusion of family, friends and children in your service.
- Original, tailor-made passages for family to read.
- Customized, easy-to-follow rehearsal notes that cover your entire ceremony, or an optional on-site rehearsal (fee).

Fee to be negotiated with each circumstance. Travel fees apply for bookings outside of the Greater Toronto Area.
Booking Recommendations: six to twelve months in advance is ideal. If possible, contact me as soon as your venue is booked. However, last minute weddings with just a few days notice may also be accommodated.
Destination Weddings
I am available to perform destination and international ceremonies upon request. After research, you and your partner may find that you want the added legal stability and ease of a valid Ontario marriage license without sacrificing the excitement of a destination wedding celebration. Arrangements can be made for a simple, “legalities only” Ontario ceremony ahead of your big wedding day. This basic service can be performed anywhere, paving the way for an easier wedding experience at your chosen exotic locale.
Baby Blessings
In this day and age, a baby blessing ceremony is a meaningful and creative alternative to a traditional Christening service. With your input, I will compose a highly individualized service to celebrate the birth of your child. Nothing is as precious or memorable as a fully customized Christening, naming, or baby blessing service! Let me join your family circle in joyfully welcoming your child into the world with your love and warmest blessings.
Memorial Services
My service will bring comfort to you at this difficult time. In order to assist families through the grieving process, I will create a unique and inspiring celebration of your loved one’s life. This completely individualized service will commemorate your family’s loss in a memorial service that expresses your beliefs.
