Wonderful officiant!

Ms. Valeriano was a fantastic officiant for our wedding! It was clear she had years of experience as she helped guide us through every step of the process during wedding planning and on the big day. She was extremely professional and walked us through the proposed script for the ceremony, allowing us to make any modifications we wanted. She really made sure it was exactly what we had dreamed of.

She was very responsive with prompt replies to any communication. She also provided us a number of ideas for ensuring the ceremony ran smoothly as we did not have a designated wedding planner.

I would absolutely recommend Ms. Valeriano to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

The perfect official for the perfect day

We had the pleasure of having Patrice officiate our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! From our first meeting, Patrice made us feel at ease and truly understood our vision for the ceremony.

Patrice took the time to get to know us as a couple, incorporating personal touches and meaningful elements into the ceremony. The script was beautifully crafted and reflected our love story perfectly.

On the day of the wedding, Patrice was professional and organized, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her calm demeanor helped to ease our nerves, and the ceremony was heartfelt and intimate, leaving our guests moved and engaged.

We highly recommend Patrice to anyone looking for a warm, genuine, and skilled officiant. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

Great experience!

Patrice was such an important part of our big day - both our legal ceremony in Canada, as well as our wedding in Mexico. She made both days so special and I knew she truly cared about listening to what we wanted and making our wedding perfect. Would highly recommend Patrice as an officiant!

Magical Memories

My partner and I held our wedding ceremony and reception at the Tamahaac Club in Ancaster ON.
Our ceremony was held outside on the front lawn overlooking the town of Dundas. Patrice worked with us from the moment we asked her to by our efficient. She guided us through the process and helped build excitement to the wedding day. Patrice' fun yet professional spirit made for a memorable ceremony that we reflect back on to this day. I would highly recommend Patrice for your wedding. It will be an experience you will remember forever.

Patrice Valeriano
Wedding Officiant - Licensed

As a wedding officiant, I consider it an honour and privilege to share in your special day.

I have been performing wedding ceremonies since 2014, first as a Justice of the Peace and now as a Humanist wedding officiant. I am licensed to perform marriages in Ontario, so you know your ceremony will be fully legal. With this experience and your dreams, we will make your wedding ceremony memorable, personal, unique and special to you.


I am a lawyer with over 30 years of experience. I was appointed to the bench of the Ontario Court of Justice in 2009, where I presided in courtrooms in most regions of Southern Ontario. Throughout my life, I have served my community on charitable Boards. I have a solid, well-respected reputation, so you know your wedding ceremony will be handled professionally.

I believe when it comes to planning wedding ceremonies it is all about you!

In addition to the formality of the day, I enjoy working with your vision to design your wedding ceremony with joy, humour, lightness, and respect. Why do I perform wedding ceremonies? I returned to performing marriages after I retired from my courtroom duties, because I love contributing to the important moments and celebrations in other people’s lives.
