Competent and comforting no stress

She is so competent and experienced that she removed all of the stress from the moment. She gave our service just the perfect amount of spirituality and her presence amplified our love. She knows exactly what to say, says it with heart, and was extremely easy to work with.

Wonderful, engaging, caring

Julie-Ann was a pleasure to work with for our wedding ceremony! I have nothing but great things to say about her!

In the weeks before the ceremony:

She met with us to get to know us, and helped us craft a custom ceremony that really reflected us as a couple. She was patient with us as we asked for a few rounds of revisions to the ceremony text, adding some extra passages in that we felt strongly about including. She was flexible about different ways to incorporate our various faith traditions (we are an interfaith couple). She gave us advice about writing our vows as well, which was really helpful!

During the ceremony itself:

She was wonderful on the day of the ceremony itself -- many members of our family went out of their way to comment on how well she led the ceremony. She was warm and engaging with us and with the crowd. She was able to balance the light-heartedness and joy of the celebration against the seriousness and gravitas that making a life long commitment should be handled with. And when we forgot the actual marriage paperwork and had to run back to the house after the ceremony, she had no qualms about waiting around a little extra time to make everything worked out smoothly. In short, she was a fantastic!

Lovely Officiant! Highly recommend!

Julie-Anne was the officiant for our wedding in August. She was amazing…kind, open-minded, organized, and a pleasure to communicate with! She is extremely professional, and made both of us feel comfortable throughout the process. I am agnostic and so I was apprehensive about having an officiant who I wasn’t familiar with. However, she is non judgmental and phenomenal to work with. Julie-Anne was available for calls/meetings, which made the days leading up to the wedding less stressful. She is a kind soul, but she had the leadership skills to ensure the wedding ceremony went smoothly. She assisted us by providing a template for the wedding ceremony, and feedback where necessary. I would highly recommend Julie-Anne to anyone looking for an officiant!
