Years Officiating

"I can't say enough good things about Maureen. After our tailored ceremony, our guests would come up to us and ask 'Who was your officiant?' From praise of the ceremony, her dignity, beauty, voice. Someone even used the term 'majestic'. Maureen made our day feel like our day, our ceremony, our way."

Kevin Whitaker

"We wanted to thank you for all your help in making our wedding ceremony dreams come true. The personalizations and little details really made us feel so special. We have received so many compliments on how beautiful the service was, and we owe that to you!"

Alex & Melissa Kitagawa

"Words can truly not express our gratitude for you making our day so special. We both feel so lucky to have had you officiate our wedding and walk us through every step of the way. Thank you for being so understanding when it came to our ceremony and our vision. You really brought this to life."

Sarah-Lynn & Jamie

"From the moment we met Maureen we felt very welcomed and comfortable. She really took the time to get to know us when we first met at our consultation and really knew exactly what we imagined our ceremony to be. Very open and easy to work with. Our ceremony was perfect with the help of her expertise! We will for sure be using her services in the future. Thank you again Maureen."

Hailey & Jessi Pollett

"You are such an amazing person Maureen! Brad and I absolutely loved our ceremony and we couldn't be happier to have you be the one to finally make it official! Thank you SO SO much and we are forever thankful!"

Jasmine Jorgensen

"Maureen, We would like to thank you for being there to support us on our Wedding Day. I thank you from my whole heart for the thought you put into our wedding vows. Thank you for marrying us. We appreciate your kindness."

Emily & Paul

"We had a beautiful ceremony, and Brian and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our guests commented on how intimate, memorable and authentic our ceremony was. Having a copy of our beautiful vows to keep, and reread in the future is so special. Thank you for your lovely words, and your special touch, to make our day one we will always remember!"

Michelle Riendeau

"Dear Maureen, Thank you Maureen for being such a big part of our special day. The ceremony was beautiful and we will cherish that moment for the rest of our lives."

Pam & Ryan Downing

"We loved the personalized ceremony that Maureen put together for us, it was everything we'd hoped for."

Samantha

"My wife and I couldn't have had a better officiant for our wedding. Maureen has a way with words that made our ceremony so beautiful and touching. She said all the things we felt in ways we couldn't even describe with just the right touch of humour. You can tell Maureen is passionate about what she does and she makes you feel comfortable during the whole process from the moment we first contacted her right up until the end of the ceremony. We will definitely recommend her to anyone planning to get married. Thanks Maureen!"

Mr & Mrs Campbell

"I can't say enough just how amazing Maureen was to work with. She made everything so personal and was always available for any questions we had. The day of she was just perfect. Every guest came to my wife and I just to tell us how amazing she was. We cannot thank her enough and are so happy she was the one to start us off on our life together. 100% recommend!"

Justin Locke

"I met Maureen at a wedding show about a year and a half ago and I absolutely knew I wanted her to officiate my day. She was so friendly, professional and very down to earth. I really loved how she got to know you as a couple and really spoke from the heart. We loved our ceremony and our guests are still talking about how well spoken and funny she was. Thank you Maureen for making our wedding day so special!"

Laura & Scott

"Maureen was exactly what we envisioned for our day. We initially had difficulty deciding on who to go with, as it is difficult to decide based on online information. We knew we found the right person once we met with Maureen. She is kind, open, easy to talk to, super flexible, and all about making the ceremony what you want it to be. During the rehearsal, she was wonderful in organizing us and getting us ready for the next day. The ceremony itself was exactly what we wanted, fun and lighthearted but meaningful. Short and sweet. Although we didn't have any religious affiliation during our ceremony she was open to this, among many other things that would customize your ceremony."

Emily English

"Amanda and I met Maureen, we got her information from a coworker of ours! Minutes after meeting with her we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding! She was amazing and everything we asked for we received! We got complimented from so many of our guests who said she was funny, sweet, simple and just beautiful! Our ceremony is exactly what we dreamt of our whole lives!"

Brittany Paul

"I can't say enough good things about Maureen!! We knew immediately that we wanted her to be our wedding officiant. We clicked right away and never could I have imagined how personal and special she made our big day. My husband and I both come from Catholic families but we were looking for a ceremony that was about us but still had prayer in it for our families. This is exactly what she did and more. I cannot rave more about this woman and how special she made our ceremony for us. Anytime our wedding is spoken about people mention how great she was from start to finish."

Jessica Quayle

"Calm, collected, focused, thorough. Extremely easy to communicate with. Takes care of all the 'behind the scenes' work so you don't have to. Communicative through all stages of the planning process. Makes adjustments based on your wants and needs. Lets you know what little needs to be done by you, and by when. Very clear. Isn't overpowering, but still grabs attention at the right times. Subtle and effective. A very experienced, stable, and all-encompassing officiant."

Matthew Janik

"We first met Maureen at a bridal show in April in 2016 and we instantly felt a bond and a special connection. Our wedding was August 18th 2018 and our ceremony was BEAUTIFUL!! We received so many compliments from our guests about the ceremony. They loved everything about the ceremony and so did we. Maureen captured our personalities and our ceremony was everything we had hoped for and so much more because of her eloquent words!! Maureen did such an excellent job that 6 months later, when one of our guests got engaged they booked Maureen. We highly recommend Maureen if you are getting married and want to have a memorable ceremony!!"

Angela Porter

"We are so grateful for the wonderful input Maureen provided to make our wedding ceremony personal to us, and beautifully presented. Maureen, you came through for us and made our dreams come true for an exceptional wedding day, particularly during this world wide pandemic in 2020. We would recommend your services without hesitation."
