    So happy we got to be married by Linda!

    I am so happy we went with Linda to marry us!
    she is such a joy to be around. very professional at her job, she sent us many rough drafts before we finalized what would be said at our ceremony.
    Her voice is delightful to listen too! We could not be happier with Linda!

    Linda is the best!

    I would highly recommend Linda Nelson. She is very professional, friendly, and detail oriented. She really personalized our ceremony which we loved! She wrote our love story and it was perfect.

    A very kind and reliable officiant

    We are so grateful to have had Linda officiate our wedding! We immediately felt comfortable with her, she was friendly and supportive yet professional.

It was clear to see that Linda wanted what was best for us, she was very open minded and accepting to any ideas we had, and she did a fantastic job on the da of!

    Beautiful and Heartfelt Ceremony

    We are so happy we chose Linda to be our celebrant. She created the most heartfelt, short, but sweet ceremony for my husband and I. She made planning the ceremony easy as she really took the time to get to know us. We did not know what we wanted in a ceremony, but she put all our ideas together to beautifully tell our story. Just reading the draft of the ceremony brought us to tears. She was flexible when planning and was open to incorporating our ideas. Her warm and inviting energy created such a calming environment for our ceremony and set the mood for the rest of the day. We can’t thank you enough for creating the ceremony of our dreams!

    We love Linda!

    Linda was such a dream to work with. We hired her for our May 2022 wedding at Sea Cider. She was extremely helpful and so kind from beginning to end. She captured our ceremony perfectly and let us make it our own. 10/10 recommend :)

    A shining and joyful light!

    Having Linda as our Celebrant/Officiant was THE best decision my husband and I could have made. She is grounded, professional, compassionate, joyful, and playful.

    Linda was able to roll with us as we sloshed through the mud, navigated to a pretty loose and carefree schedule, took pee breaks in the woods, and paused every few steps for photos.

    Linda was not "just our officiant" - she was an integral part of our ceremony. She felt like family. A loved one. A friend. She embodied the words she spoke that were a true reflection of my husband and I.

    We are so grateful for the magic she brought to our elopement. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a heartfelt, loving and luminous light to guide them across the marriage threshold.

    Thank you, Linda!

    Helped Create Magic

    Linda was instrumental in providing our perfect day from beginning to end. She's flexible, caring, and showed a genuine interest in our choices and needs for getting everything set up exactly the way we wanted. She also was able to incorporate every personal touch we asked for!

    We had been looking for someone who could blend elements of a traditional ceremony with the non-conventional/pagan elements we were wanting to add and Linda was wonderfully accommodating. The ceremony she wrote for us brought tears of joy to our eyes and our family was commenting for days how beautiful it was.

    We would highly recommend Island Ceremonies to anyone.

    Our perfect day 💕

    Linda Nelson was the most amazing Celebrant we could ever dream of having. Our wedding ceremony was so touching, so beautiful and so incredibly perfect because of Linda. She guided us through the whole process and in the end crafted such a beautiful ceremony that was so personal and touching. Our guests loved the ceremony also! They told me it was perfect, beautiful, funny and totally reflective of my husband and I as a couple. We just love Linda and would highly recommend her to any couple!

    Amazing! Very happy with ceremony!

    e were overjoyed to have Linda be our officiant for our July 2018 wedding at Hatley Castle. From the very beginning she was fantastic! She put together a beautiful ceremony that wove our love story together. She worked with the venue to schedule a proper rehearsal so that we would all have great timing, and she was speedy in all forms of communication. Linda is genuine and so kind with a heart of gold. Thank you for being a part of our day!

    Island Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you so much for choosing me for your special day. It was lovely to get to know you and your families. Your love was apparent to me from the moment we met and I know that together, there is nothing you can’t do.

    An awesome choice!

    We decided early on that we wanted our ceremony to be super special and personal, and we're so happy we went with Linda! She provided a beautiful ceremony that we were able to make unlimited changes to (we didn't have to do too many, she had a great first draft) and so many of our guests said it was such a genuine and heartfelt ceremony. It really made an amazing start to our day.

    Island Ceremonies's reply:

    Thanks so much for your lovely words. I enjoyed working with you and loved performing your ceremony at the edge of the waterfront on Dallas Road. You are a wonderful couple and I am always inspired by love stories like yours.
