Karen is truly the best officiant we could have ever wanted. From the moment she called to get details about the wedding, to ALL the back and forth emails and questions, to finally making the journey out to our private family cottage on the big day she was such a gem. Karen is lovely.. she was funny, charismatic, knowledgeable and kind. She catered the ceremony to our exact needs and had us in tears. There is nobody else i would ever recommend to have on your big day except for her.

Karen Richter was our officiant and we are so happy that we had her. Karen was amazing, she was quick to respond whenever we had questions, and was extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to know us and also took the stress out of the ceremony. Even our guests like how professional she is. 100% recommended for any wedding's officiant!

What can we say…Karen was perfect! Perfection. We had a small outdoor ceremony at home that was made so much more special by Karen’s sensitivity, insightfulness and absolute understanding of what we envisioned for our day. We almost chose to have a civil ceremony due to our circumstances and wish to have something small and stress free. We’re so so thankful that we didn’t take that route. We followed our gut and came across Karen. We’re so grateful to have found her. She brought a sweetness, intimacy and at our request, wit and humour to the ceremony. It couldn’t have been better. Everyone loved it! Her communication, enthusiasm and calming effect in the weeks prior to the big moment was exactly what we needed. Thank you a million times for making our humble wedding feel like it was everything we had hoped for and more.
Much love,
Max and Cat
