 I believe it’s totally possible:

To imagine the chicest, most picturesque wedding that is deeply unforgettable and holy, with a bit of queer mischief and magic sprinkled in. On time, and on budget.

To create a Harry Potter, or some other outlandishly themed wedding, that will
please both die-hard fans
AND have your dear old Grandma smiling back at you.

To tie in hockey, rock climbing and fishing full of spunk, laughter, art and romance that it will bring a tear to the eye of even the most hardened heart.

Weddings for any stage of your life.

Weddings are not just for the young and never married!

Perhaps you’ve been married before...maybe even more than once. And what you’re looking for in this ceremony is WAY different from the ceremony you had way back when.

And maybe you’re getting married with kids. Formally acknowledging and blending your family through ceremony is an incredibly powerful way to build and strengthen your new family. 

Or maybe your life has followed its own unique path of adventure and only now are you embarking on marriage. 

Whatever the case may be, you deserve to have your special day your own way. 


Love them so much, you’d like to marry them twice? 

Well, with a Vow Renewal you can! 


Vow Renewals are a lovely way to celebrate and honour where you started out from to where you are today.

Vow Renewals

  • Katie brings the kind of energy you want for your big day, no matter how big or small you're keeping it!

    Katie is an incredibly kind and bubbly soul that would make a great addition to your already beautiful day!

    For our ceremony we wanted to keep things very small and intimate. We had booked with another officiant prior to Katie, and unfortunately they made us feel like because we were keeping it small, we should get the bare minimum service. Fast forward, we canceled and emailed Katie. She responded almost immediately and with such energy that made us feel excited again to actually plan a small ceremony. Katie was very encouraging and organized in her way of helping us co-create what our ceremony would look like. She made sure to include our input and stories to make it that much more personal and intimate. Through the entire process, Katie made us feel loved and supported - like she really was our biggest fan or a long time friend.

  • Our ceremony was absolutely perfect 10/10!

    From the moment we met her, we knew we had found the right person to officiate our special day. Katie took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it reflected in the personalized and heartfelt ceremony she crafted.

    Her warm and calming presence set the tone for a beautiful ceremony that had our guests in tears of joy. Katie struck the perfect balance between sentimental emotions and our personalities, making the whole experience unforgettable. She seamlessly incorporated our unique style and preferences, making it a ceremony truly tailored to us. We look like we're having so much fun in our photos and that's so important to us both.

    We can't thank Katie enough for making our wedding day so special and memorable. If you're looking for a wedding officiant who will go above and beyond to make your day perfect, we wholeheartedly recommend her! She is simply amazing!

  • Katie was a dream to work with.

    We consulted virtually due to being out of province, and when we finally met her in person for our wedding ceremony it felt so comfortable and natural. The whole process was fun and easy, but I have to say my absolute favourite part about working with Katie is how in control and calm she was on the day of - her presence totally eased all the stress and anxiety I was feeling and I knew that everything was going to go smoothly. Thank you SO much, Katie, for taking the time to create such a personal and thoughtful ceremony for us.” - KT Law

  • Her guidance as officiant...

    Catherine and I wanted a simple, relaxed and entirely intimate ceremony, and that is exactly what Katie helped us plan and enjoy. Her guidance as officiant encouraged us to share freely and comfortably exactly how we wanted. Many of our guests told us that it was the most relaxed and intimate wedding ceremony that they had attended. Thank you for your gentle presence in our ceremony, Katie.” - Mac Newton

  • She is amazing what she does!

    “Katie was so helpful, and made the most amazing ceremony even more memorable with her carefully and beautifully chosen words. She was able to put my long relationship into words, and capture mine and my husbands most favourite things about each other. She is amazing what she does.” - Felicity C.

  • I really can’t rate this lovely human high enough.

    “We had the true pleasure of hiring Katie to be our marriage celebrant on our special day. Getting to know her prior to the day felt like we were connecting with a friend. Her warm and lovely nature made us feel so relaxed and also eager and excited to elope! On the day itself she guided us through the ceremony with ease, passion and presence. She intertwined all the little things she learned about both of us into the ceremony effortlessly, creatively and mindfully. I really can’t rate this lovely human high enough. It was a real gift to have her there with us! Thanks again, Katie. Xxxx” - Cathy + Rhys

  • We had so many compliments from friends + family about how amazing she was.

    Katie is amazing! She officiated our wedding in July 2022 on Salt Spring Island and she was absolutely perfect for our day. Katie was incredible the entire way through the process - from initial meeting, helping us with the draft, bringing her own creative ideas and suggestions and marrying them (lol) with our own to create a unique and perfect ceremony for us. She's funny, kind, empathetic and warm and we could not recommend her highly enough if you are looking for a celebrant for your wedding day. - Cat D.

  • Folks thought it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they’ve ever experienced.

    Katie worked so closely and wonderfully with us and created the most absolute perfect ceremony - we can not recommend her enough! Several folks mentioned it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they’ve ever experienced, and though I’m definitely biased, I have to agree! Haha :) she wrote such a beautiful ceremony we decided we actually didn’t need add our own vows as she absolutely nailed it on the first try. Some other folks were certain we must have been friends for ages , because she was THAT GOOD ! :) thank you so much, Katie - Allison Crowe

Digging In 

Once you’ve agreed to work with me, I begin diving into your love story. Give me the deets on how you first met, what attracted you to one another, and what makes you long to keep this wonderful, magical person by your side always and forever. A bit of homework will be involved, but hopefully it will be homework that you will find you enjoy as you recall all the things that you truly love about your person.

Working Away 

Next, I take what you’ve given me and turn on my artist vision to craft a ceremony that is the truest reflection of you and your beloved. This is where big vision meets minute details and thinking through how the rituals and vows we incorporate into your ceremony will feel on your wedding day. All decisions are centred around you and I work with you until you are absolutely delighted with your ceremony.

The Big Reveal 

On your wedding day, I’ll be there by your side. I’ve produced a ton of events over the years and know how to spot and head off any potential hiccups before they become anything. I love being a big, happy Ceremony Momma who greets absolutely everyone with genuine love and joy AND keeps everyone and everything moving; I do it all with a gleeful smile. This is your wedding day. Yippee!

Making it legal

In Canada, weddings must be officiated by a licensed officiant or solemnized religious representative or marriage commissioner.

And as an ordained Metaphysical Minister,
I’ve got you covered!

I can perform weddings anywhere in BC, and after your ceremony, I’ll take care of all the paperwork and you won’t have to do a thing. 

And sorry, your friend who was ordained online cannot legally marry you in Canada. Only a licensed wedding officiant can sign and submit your marriage license to make it official. It’s not like how it is in the movies :) 


Meet + Greet 

At our Free, No-Obligation 30 min Meet + Greet, I’m looking to get a better idea of the kind of ceremony you’re hoping to build - Where is it taking place? When are you hoping to have it? How many people are you inviting? Have you booked any other vendors yet? What is your vision for your very special day? 

FYI - You absolutely don’t have to have anything booked or planned before we meet! 

See if your Ceremony Date is available
