    Perfect choice

    James made our day so special. Everyone said that is how a wedding should be. It was full of meaning and some light hearted humor. It was amazing!

    Sylvia,
    Thank you. It was such a pleasure to be part of your special day and all the work we did together to co-create your Modern-Day Love Story as part of the ceremony. Kudos to your sister and also your Flutist. They were great! I love it when others share the stage.

    Relaxed, sentimental, personal

    James was wonderful to work with. Flexible with our international time zones (planning abroad) and with all our questions. His personal, light, humorous yet special and sentimental approach was perfect for our wedding ceremony. Would highly recommend!

    The Perfect Day

    We weren’t aiming for the perfect day. The perfect wedding is a myth isn’t it?! But it was absolutely perfect and part of the reason was the way James officiating our ceremony.

    James is wonderful to work with; he was open to being the “official officiant” while allowing a friend of ours to perform part of the ceremony in our Buddhist tradition. They took turns with the parts of the ceremony and it flowed so effortlessly you would have thought they performed ceremonies together all the time!! James told our “modern day love story” in such a way that you could hear our words as if we were saying them. He captured our story brilliantly. Everyone was hooked on everything he said.

    After the service many people came up to us saying it was the best wedding ceremony they have attended.

    We are both so grateful for all the attention that was paid before the ceremony to make sure when the day came, everything went well. And it did!

    If you are looking to have an amazing, touching, heartfelt, fun wedding ceremony, then ask James to officiate!!

    The Best Celebrant on Vancouver Island!

    Everything about our experience working with James was fantastic! From the first video call meeting, to drafting our ceremony and then officiating our wedding day, James was enthusiastic, professional and a pleasure to work with. He fully customized the ceremony, including in it our love story, core values and quirks. Our guests laughed, cried, cheered and generally commented on what a wonderful job James did! I’ve lost count how many times friends have asked “Where did you find him?!” People were that impressed! If you’re looking for a celebrant who is funny, unique, non-traditional, charismatic and an all-around master of his craft, you can’t go wrong with James Latour!

    Life's Journey Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you Pauline and Scott. What fun we had at your ceremony. Learning and using nicknames, the location, it was a fantabulous day. Wishing you all the best in the future.

    Amazing, personalized ceremony

    James was amazing start to finish. He had great content for ceremony options and customized a ceremony that perfectly fit our wedding day. The ceremony was sentimental, personal, funny and professional, many compliments were given out after the ceremony was completed. We couldn't recommend James enough to be apart of your wedding day!

    Outstanding wedding ceremony services!

    James officiated our small, intimate wedding and we feel so privileged to have had James involved in our ceremony. The approach fit the tone of our event and all of our guests commented on how brilliant James was. Thanks so much, James!

    Written like a Love Story

    James has been wonderful in helping us plan our quick little wedding ceremony. He made it about us, our time and our love. He was respectful to our deadlines and officiated a wonderful wedding ceremony to our small in person guests and those on zoom. It was perfect fit and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants something unique and all their own.

    Life's Journey Ceremonies's reply:

    Kristin and Samantha,
    What a thrill it was to serve you both. I so enjoyed your special day. Looking forward to that next celebration in the wintery mountains!

    A lovely love story

    Easy to work with and LGBTQ+ friendly! James created a lovely ceremony for us. We received so many comments of how lovely it was from family and friends.

    Life's Journey Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you for the privilege of sharing in your special day. It was made even more special by the ferry home with your ever so proud Grandfather. We had an excellent chat.
