My approach.....

As a licensed officiant, I provide a non-religious option to weddings that meet the needs of contemporary couples.

As a writer and as a public speaker trained with the Stratford Festival, I have the skills to create a service that is unique to both of you. Your wedding can be simple, elegant, and to the point or carefully crafted to include any of the elements you envision - together we can create a celebration that reflects your commitment to each other- at your chosen venue.

I have packages available that will address your wedding ideal or your preferred price point.

I still have a few Summer/Fall 2025 dates available. I'm happy to consider last-minute options.

Your venue or mine.....

Are you planning a small wedding? An elopement? Or a legal service in Ontario prior to a destination wedding? You can be married with up to ten guests, and with champagne, in my beautiful home in Stratford.

$500 Full custom ceremony with attendance at rehearsal and vow assistance.

$250 short legal ceremony.

Best officiant we could ever ask for!

Bettianne was absolutely perfect in every way for our big day. She was immediately responsive when we initially reached out and brought a sense of calmness in every interaction we had. She went out of her way to make the ceremony completely personal and geared to our relationship. She wanted to know all about us, how we met, and what made us fall in love. It was never just a business interaction, but a true guidance to bring us into our marriage. Unlike other officiants I know that friends of ours have dealt with that provide a set list of sentences that they can say during the ceremony, Bettianne provided the skeleton document and then worked with us to build our love story. She was warm and welcoming on the day of, and completely professional. Re-watching our wedding video showed us the beautiful raw emotional journey Bettianne took with us. She was one of the easiest vendors we worked with. It felt like having our own family marry us. We would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Wedding Officiant - June 2024

We are extremely happy that we choose Bettianne to officiate our wedding. From the first call we had with Bettianne, her warmth and sincerity shone through and made us very comfortable having her oversee the ceremony on our special day. She was consistently responsive leading up to the wedding, providing great advice to help us write our own vows, and she clearly understood the "feel" we were going for with the ceremony in order to make it truly representative of our personalities. We could not be happier with how the ceremony went. You will be in good hands if you go with Bettianne.
