Reviews for Rachel Edwards, Wedding Officiant and Life Cycle Celebrant
Beautiful Ceremony
Highly recommend Rachel for all weddings!!
We even had wedding security and they had nerf guns and when Rachel ask if anyone objected (which isn’t normally in a ceremony anymore) our wedding security our niece and. Nephew stood behind us and acted like they would hit someone with a nerf bullet if they objected. It was amazing. Thank you Rachel. You made our day amazing.
The most beautiful ceremony we could ever imagine!
She wrote the most beautiful ceremony we could ever imagine! It was so personal and intimate, and she worked in ideas we had while also contributing many special ideas of her own. The church where we got married has never had the doors locked in over 100 years, and she wrote such a meaningful passage relating that to our life and marriage and keeping our hearts open.
We had guests, many in tears, remarking how they didn’t realize a ceremony could be so moving without being religious. It was emotional and funny and joyful and it just felt like us. There was a feeling in the room that Rachel cultivated that we will never forget, love was everywhere. We wouldn’t change a thing and would hire Rachel again and again. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Hi
I want to tell you a bit about me. I grew up in Whitby, Ontario. My parents were from Liverpool, England I am the youngest of 4 children. In high shcool I did a personality test and the results indicated I would be best suited to the military or to be a Minister. I dismissed this information, clearly the test was wrong. I went to McGill University and studied English Literature. After that I went to live in Europe for 2 years. I returned to Canada and worked at different jobs, got married and had children. When my oldest child was born I decided the best fit for our family was for me to stay home. Over the next 13 years we had 3 more. I loved being a stay at home mum and I also home schooled the oldest children up to Grade 9.
My niece asked me to Officiate her wedding and that was the catalyst for me. I had found the work I loved. I completed 2 certificate courses at the Celebrant Foundation and Institute in Weddings and Funerals. I like everything about this work; meeting people, writing (finally my English Lit. degree was serving me!), creating meaningful ceremonies, researching rituals, readings, music and trends. I hope to create many different ceremonies, to date I have performed Weddings and Funerals. I was ordained in March of 2019 as a Metaphysical Minister, so I guess that personality test was partly right.
I have lived in beautiful Owen Sound since December 2008. The beauty that surrounds me continues to inspire me and keeps me centred. I love travelling, I have spent a lot of time in Spain, particularly Basque Country, and also love to visit Wales. I have a horse who is teaching me lessons I didn't even know I had to learn. We also adopted 2 cats, I always thought of myself as a "dog" person but I realize I'm an "animal" person. I speak other languages and can incorporate that into my ceremonies. I feel that because of the travelling I did, I am open to different perspectives and traditions, I know this helps me to be more creative in my practice. I love to laugh, I think humour can heal and it's a great way to connect with people. I have found a calling that I can do as long as I can read and drive so I intend to Officiate for many years to come!
