Srishti worked with us to create the personal wedding ceremony we were looking for. We took our time emailing back and forth working on a draft, and had a couple meetings to discuss some parts more thoroughly.
The ceremony was wonderful! Our guests really enjoyed the ring warming ritual that we and Srishti worked on together.
Srishti is a warm and welcoming person that we enjoyed getting to know over the past year.

Srishti was an amazing officiant and our ceremony was everything we could have wanted. Srishti met with us to learn about us as individuals and our story, then provided us a rough draft of our ceremony. Any adjustments requested were made quickly, our ceremony was molded into something true to us and, was completed well in advance of what we expected. Srishti was comforting and a warm and welcome presence on the day, providing assurance and a friendly demeanour for not only ourselves but also our guests. We couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out and would recommend Srishti to any couple looking for a ceremony that strays from cookie cutter and is entirely customizable to them!

Where do we even start - an absolute star!

We got married this past September 2023 and found Srishti through the wedding wire app. We were looking for a more "non-traditional" wedding ceremony that focused on us as a couple and our love for the environment. Srishti made us feel as if our ceremony was one of a kind by incorporating our lifestyle and core values. Specifically, we chose to get married on the autumn equinox and Srishti shared the idea of incorporating a tree planting ceremony to symbolize our growth as a couple. She was very attentive and consistently made her self available. She pleasantly scheduled calls and provided a rehearsal of the ceremony prior to the wedding. She truly made our day feel special and we couldn't recommend a better officiant. We also greatly appreciated Srishti's background in Humanism as its principles correlated seamlessly with our wants in our ceremony.

It was so great to work with you Srishti - we wish you all the best and luck on ventures forward!

It was an absolute joy to have Srishti officiate our wedding, from start to finish, we felt extremely taken care of and in the most competent hands. She has a soothing presence, is a beautiful writer, and took great care in preparing and officiating our ceremony. We had no concept of what kind of ceremony we wanted, and Srishti managed to come up with an elegant, beautiful and thoughtful wedding that fit perfectly with who we are. Even small touches, like checking over our marriage license and reaching out to check on us in the weeks leading up, to reassuring words while the groom stood nervously at the front of the room and pausing to let a crying baby settle, we couldn’t be happier with how she performed. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Srishti marry us, and we can’t recommend her enough. It was perfect, thank you Srishti!

Srishti was more phenomenal than we would have ever expected. The amazing thing about Srishti is that she will be as involved as you would like her to be. She plans ceremonies meticulously, gives great suggestions when asked, will edit your vows and ideas for you if that is what you would like, but she can also be extremely flexible when you want to change things or let you do most of the planning if that is what you would like...all the while keeping a loving eye on you to make sure that everything is being planned properly. My wife and I had two ceremonies with Srishti and experienced both. She suggested great ritual ideas to do for our first one and we ended up designing one together with her about cutting and eating pancakes! (my wife and I confessed our feelings to each other in a pancake shop). In the second ceremony she kept digging to find a reading that fits our story and found the most wonderfully befitting one that made us cry instantly! She also edited our vows for us and rehearsed with us both times as well as sharing her screen with us so that we can all edit the plans together.

Srishti is very smart, calm, and extremely kind. She also cares a lot about social justice issues, inclusiveness, and is an ally of the LGBTQIA2S+ communities. She became our friend throughout our journey and gave us love and support when we needed it too. She's the perfect modern and loving officiant.

We interviewed a few recommended officiants in the Ottawa area that were recommended for LGBT weddings and Srishti Hukku made us feel so incredibly comfortable. They have been so easy to deal with and the process was so smooth. Not a single blip in the speech on the day of. Our ceremony was 100% customized to us and our guests ranted and raved about it. Every idea we had Srishti welcomed. We incorporated a ring warming ritual which was so special to us. two days before we had to completely change from an outdoor ceremony to indoor ceremony. Srishti immediately called us to see how we were doing mentally and offered to help, they also verified if our ceremony needed to be changed at that time.

Srishti has been extremely invested in us as a couple and this is the experience we wanted from our officiant. Someone who wanted to mingle with our guests and see the community we have created to support us through this life.

We absolutely loved working with Srishti and we cannot wait to share more moments with them.

I can't say enough good things about Srishti! She is so warm and kind and treated our ceremony with care and consideration. She put so much work into creating our ceremony, going over all of the wording with us, inviting us to make changes and give feedback, and brainstorming ways to say exactly what we wanted. I was so impressed with the amount of thought and effort she gave to our ceremony. She spent a lot of time talking to us as a couple and learning our love story, and we felt so seen when we read her speech. It felt perfectly us. I am usually not a big 'quotes' person, but she somehow managed to find the most perfect reading by Victor Hugo to include in our ceremony.
She was also incredibly easy to work with, she is organized and communicative and really on the ball. She encouraged us to squeeze in an extra practice session (absolutely the right call), and made sure everything on the day went smoothly.
I truly think this is Srishti's calling - she loves love, and it was wonderful to work with her. We were honoured to have her as our officiant, and we can't recommend her highly enough.

Working with Srishti was amazing. She took the time to get to know us, was easy to work with, and both guided us and wove our ideas into the perfect ceremony. She goes the extra mile to ensure every detail (including brining our dog into the ceremony!) is accounted for. If you're looking for a secular officiant for your wedding we guarantee that you will be thrilled with Srishti.

Our experience with Srishti was effortless from start to finish. She was vey open and flexible, and tailored the ceremony to fit us which we really appreciated! She walked us through the process and legal requirements which made it a breeze. On top of her professionalism, Srishti was incredibly kind and it was a pleasure having her as part of our ceremony. Highly recommend to everyone!

We interviewed a few officiants before making a decision and during our meeting with Srishti, my now wife wrote over our notes “she’s the one” and circled it a dozen times. We are so happy with our decision. Srishti was there for all our questions, to run us through a practice, and to greet our guests before and after the ceremony. Srishti delivered the ceremony so calmly, which in turn helped keep us brides calm. They were enthusiastic about all of our ideas for the ceremony, such as our ring warming. Srishti was so invested in our union. We got videos of our first kiss and I love seeing Srishti get all giddy off to the side. It really goes to show how much they value the couples they choose to marry. We so hope we get to stay in touch and share our life’s milestones with the best officiant we could have chose. Thanks a ton, Srishti!
