3 Best Wedding Officiants in Ottawa, ON

Rinette Emerson - WOW. I can't say enough amazing things about Rinette and either can our guests - she completely stood out to our guests, and they all loved our ceremony it was emotional, funny, and personal. Every time we see guests who attended the first compliment, they have for us is how amazing our ceremony was, and how it was the best ceremony they've ever been to. They all loved Rinette's voice and people have even complimented how she moved at all the right times! (I didn't even know guests would notice these things! lol) Guests were crying emotional tears and then brought back up laughing with the humour, they were never zoning out because they were excited to hear what was coming next. She will work with you to build your perfect ceremony. She is absolutely incredible; I would choose her and recommend her every time. Stop looking for your officiant now because I found her for you! Thank you, Rinette, for telling our love story as if you've known us our whole lives. Melinda & Jesse

As an events manager I had HIGH standards as to what I was looking for in an officiant. I had met 2 or 3 new officiants every week while I was facilitating weddings and they all did the job well. Jim was someone who stood out to me both professionally and personally. His outgoing cheerful demeanor was so fantastic to work with. He would check in frequently over the months as we had to change dates quite a few times over the pandemic. Jim was flexible and eager to help with anything I needed. Not only was he amazing to work with but the website they provided for us with suggestions on how to create a personalized ceremony was out of this world! We had friends comment to use following our wedding that it was so "US"... Jokes, stories, personalized vows... Jim was there to help us through everything. He knows the industry in and out. Every detail is so important. He even knew when to step aside so that our "first kiss photo" was just of us! I could not recommend Jim more! Thank you Jim! You made out wedding day so special.

We were so lucky to have Rinette officiate our wedding. She was one of the highlights of the day and our guests RAVED and raved about her and the ceremony. Honestly - you could not be in better hands. Right from our first Zoom meeting we were comfortable with her and she just seemed to understand exactly what we wanted, even without having to say it. She guided us through the process seamlessly. During our rehearsal, she was amazing with our SIX flower girls under the age of 9 and made everyone feel at ease. Fast forward to the day of- she met us right before and made some amazing suggestions to the ceremony - you could tell she really cared and wanted the ceremony to have a good flow. The actual ceremony was magic - her voice, words, the way she moves around so your photographer can capture photos of just the two of us - and our guests could actually see us - was just amazing. Everyone was so impressed, and we were too. You could not be in better hands!! Katrina & Joel
