Legal, Micro, & Custom Wedding Ceremonies in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)
Your wedding ceremony is more than a formality—it’s a moment of connection before the celebration truly begins. As a Toronto wedding officiant, I create ceremonies that feel comfortable, heartfelt, and unmistakably you.
Since 2021, I’ve helped engaged couples bring their vision to life through personalized wedding ceremonies that reflect who they are and how they love. I perform an average of 25 weddings each year, and over 50% of my weddings come through referrals! Many ceremonies take place in my West Toronto home chapel, with no venue fee for small weddings.
I’m committed to helping all kinds of couples get the wedding they need, whether that’s a simple legal signing, an intimate micro-wedding, or a fully customized ceremony. I proudly serve couples of all backgrounds, religions, faiths and orientations, and I believe your ceremony should feel like a true reflection of your vision.
My favourite ceremonies are personal—the kind where everyone in the room feels included. I’m known for discovering unique readings, creative ways to incorporate guests, children, and seniors, and for making couples feel entirely at ease.
Dearly Beloved Ceremonies was founded in March 2021, initially to support couples whose weddings were delayed or disrupted during COVID. Today, the business has reached its fifth year, averaging 25 weddings annually across Toronto and the GTA, with over half of all clients coming through word-of-mouth referrals. I’ve officiated Christian, mixed-faith, and secular weddings in iconic venues—as well as parks, restaurants, city hall, homes, and my own home chapel.
My background—spoken word performance, emceeing, speechwriting, teaching, and community events—helped shape my ability to read a room, connect deeply, and tell meaningful stories. And my experience working with multicultural, interfaith, LGBTQ+, newcomer, and ESL couples allows me to approach every ceremony with empathy, flexibility, and care.
My goal is simple: to make your ceremony feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable. Let’s get started!
Imagine a blend of quiet passion and dignified presence, the warmth of a favourite host, and just the right amount of humour. I can be light and joyful when appropriate—and deeply touching when the moment calls for it.
There’s no cookie-cutter script here. I take the time to truly understand your relationship, your family, and the dynamic you want your guests to experience. I offer flexibility for all wedding types, budgets, and timelines, and I strive to be completely inclusive and welcoming.
Warm, engaging, and approachable, I create ceremonies that feel intimate and effortless. Simply put, I help create the perfect start to your forever.
Who says wedding planning can’t be fun? I’ll make it feel that way—creating clarity where there’s uncertainty, calm where there’s stress, and a ceremony that’s deeply personal, meaningful, and beautifully easy. I’ll help you by:
Reducing stress around timelines and documentation
Providing reassurance and thoughtful personalization
Bringing experience, flexibility, and cultural sensitivity
Offering fast turnaround when needed (including immigration-related timelines)
A wedding officiant is the licensed professional who leads your wedding ceremony and legally solemnizes your marriage. They guide the ceremony, help shape the flow and tone, ensure all legal requirements are met, and submit the completed marriage documents—making your union both meaningful and official. An officiant sets the tone for the entire wedding day. This is the person guiding your most important moment.
Depending on the time of year, it can take up to three months to get your certificate. Please visit the blog post Need to Speed Up Your Marriage Certificate.
