    Fantastic experience!

    Colleen was amazing and so sweet throughout the entire process. We entered this not knowing what we were doing and Colleen was so helpful along the way.

    Thank you so much! Your autumn outdoor ceremony was perfect and I loved being part of it. 🤗 Your guests loved hearing the personalization you included.

    We love Colleen!

    We had the best experience with Colleen as our wedding commissioner and officiant. She was extremely clear, organized and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She responds quick to emails and gives you plenty of customizations to how you envision your perfect ceremony.
    Not only did we love Colleen but our family and friends loved her too!

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Thank you Chelsea & Brendan. Your kind words and support mean the world to me. I loved every moment! 🤗

    It was such a pleasure working with Colleen

    She was very attentive and professional. She did everything possible to make our day even more magical, especially during these difficult times. Thank you Colleen for being part of our journey!

    Thank you so much Patricia & Thandi! Despite the ongoing pandemic challenges, your ceremony at Assiniboine Park was perfect with those closest to you being with you and those who were not able to travel being with us through the marvel of live streaming. 💞 Hugs!

    Thank you for making our day wonderful!

    We cannot stop thinking of how perfect the day was. We are so thrilled you were there with us — you made it even better! It was amazing that you were able to be flexible and make it work even with our change of venue and time. Will recommend you forever!

    Winnipeg's best marriage comissioner

    Colleen was professional, kind and so helpful when working with us to plan our wedding ceremony. She gave plenty of tips and ideas on how we could personalize our wedding to make it our own, lending us a big book of ideas to map it all out with her advice and assistance. For the rehearsal, she made everyone feel comfortable and ensured we all understood how the process would work on the big day. We are so happy we chose Colleen to marry us!

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Tanya & Oliver, thank you so much! It was so much fun working with you and telling your love story. Your wedding party was also so-much-fun! 💞

    Heartfelt and Professional!

    Colleen was absolutely wonderful to collaborate with in creating a very special ceremony for our big day. We requested a short turnaround from planning to wedding, and she was readily available and exceptionally responsive. Colleen provided us with questions about our relationship, and crafted the most beautiful love story. She went above and beyond to provide details for the logistical parts of the marriage, such as licensing and name change. What was most special about working with Colleen was her obvious passion for sharing in the sacred moments of a wedding ceremony. We felt as though we've known her for years; like a loved one was reading the story of our lives. Thank you so much, Colleen!

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Thanks so much Kelle and Ryan! I'm so glad you shared your love story with me so I could include it in your wedding ceremony. It was perfect! Hugs, Colleen 💞

    Wonderful Experience

    We really appreciated having Colleen be a part of our day. It was great having her there and we really appreciated the guidance she gave us and our guests the day of. The little things like fixing the dress, when to hold hands or even where we were standing so pictures would look the best really made the day turn out even better. Our families all commented on how well she led the ceremony.

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Thanks so much Michelle & Dickson! I loved being part of your ceremony planning. and then being part of your ceremony by the special tree in the neighbourhood park. Sending hugs, 💞

    Amazing Experience

    Colleen officiated our wedding on August 14th, 2021. With a year of so much uncertainty with COVID one thing for certain was our ceremony and the exchange of our vows were in very good hands. Colleen made our special day that much more special. She took time to work out every detail of our ceremony and wedding day. She was always there to meet with us at anytime and helped to guide us through the entire process. She is professional, reliable, organized, experienced and has such a big heart for the couples that she works with. We connected with her instantly and couldn’t have found a more kind and generous person.

    Colleen Olafson - Marriage Commissioner's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kristy & Owen! I loved being part of your ceremony planning and special day AND it was a bonus to find out we are in the same neighbourhood! Hugs 💞
