The best!!

I cannot recommend her enough!! Reverend Francesca did an outstanding job with our ceremony. She is personable, funny, down to earth, and all around such a lovely human being. She knew how nervous I was about the order of a ceremony and completely put my nerves at ease. She went over things, simplified them and had me feeling confident for my wedding day. During the ceremony she talked to our guests with such ease and made it overall a beautiful experience. She’s a gem! Thank you Reverend Francesca!! ❤️

Made our Ceremony Perfect!

Rev Francesca absolutely made our ceremony perfect! We had a couple guidelines such as no religion & some humour added into ceremony and she honoured our requests more than we could have imagined. Every email, phone call and zoom call made us feel more and more comfortable in the process and she even answered some questions we had outside of the ceremony duties. If you’re someone who is a bit nervous in front of people, she will make sure you’re ok and even discretely give you a moment if you’re overwhelmed while giving you some encouragement. We highly recommend Rev Francesca to anyone looking for a perfect ceremony designed to fit your personality and wishes. Thank you so much Rev Francesca!
P.s, no need to ask her to step aside during the first kiss! She did that without us asking and also stepped aside earlier in the ceremony for our photographer could get some amazing shots of just us two.

Personal Ceremony Expert

Francesca is amazing to work with! From the initial meeting, reviewing our vows, to writing our ceremony, she was professional, kind and generous with her time. Our ceremony felt so personal and we received so much positive feedback from our guests. During our rehearsal she put everyone at ease, and led with the perfect balance of seriousness and fun. She knows what she’s doing! We are so grateful and highly recommend her! Thank you xo

Superb, above and beyond!

Francesca was a super officiant. We were referred to them by another vendor, and even from our first phone call we could just tell that she was going to be perfect. Our ceremony was perfect and included everything we wanted, and even some unique things. She was super helpful in planning and helped us write our vows and kept us on track with everything we needed to get done. She even went above and beyond our expectations and helped us with things not specifically in her job description. I would recommend anyone go with Francesca!

Personable with special touches

We cannot recommend Francesca enough ! She was personable right from the start and it felt like such a good fit. She told our story so nicely, wrote our vows for us and our guests loved the personal, heartfelt tou he’s throughout the ceremony. Francesca was great with my family and even the 5 little nephews at rehearsal and kept us all going. She checked on me and made me feel calm before I walked down the aisle. Look no further !!
Thanks for everything xo

People thought she was family!

Francesca’s ceremonies are so personal and emotional. We had so many comments after the ceremony regarding how much they loved her - she was funny, and emotional, personal, and confident. People asked if she was a family member or family friend. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we as a couple felt supported. We had some unique requests and she completely accommodated for us. We had another small hiccup with our ceremony time and she was there to offer solutions immediately. We highly recommend her!!

Landside Wedding, Best Day!

A huge thank you to Francesca for such a wonderful experience! Francesca is not just a reverend, she was a huge help the whole day with the day before rehearsal and day of scheduling. My stress was taken away the moment we met with Francesca as she took control and was able to have our whole bridal party's attention which was tough as we had over 20 people and 4 kids. The day of was so perfect, and Francesca's words of wisdom were amazing and with just meeting her the day before she knew Jake and I! We had so many comments about how amazing she was and how she made the day so perfect! We can't thank Francesca enough for making our love story so amazing! :)

Magical day to remember forever!

We feel extremely lucky to have had Francesca officiate our wedding! She was extremely professional and kind from our first meeting all the way to standing with her at the alter. We very much appreciate her calmness and reassurance that helped with those pre-ceremony jitters! Francesca helped make our wedding incredibly special with her sentiments and humour. As a same-sex couple, Francesca went above and beyond to help make our special day incredibly heartfelt and memorable!

Hey there!

It's me Reverend Francesca. Thought I would jump in and introduce myself since you decided to visit my page! I thank you and appreciate you!

For those who don't know me, I have been in the industry for 20 years now.🥂 I started as a wedding planner and day of coordinator, then adding designing and florals to the mix with styling. And lastly became a Reverend in 2020. Time flies when you are having fun!

I now focus on Officiating and Partial Planning and truly am enjoying this chapter in my life. I have been married to my soul mate for 25 years and have a wonderful daughter who truly keeps me humble and on my toes! I love spending time with them creating incredible memories and traveling! We also have our fur baby "Paws" who is a tuxedo cat with his own personality and agenda. LOL he is a little bugger I tell you! Which pet isn't, right!

Laslty, I have been helping our communities thrive for as long as I can remember, volunteering for great causes and charities which really gives me another purpose to smile about, helping those in need. 😘
