Serving Ottawa and the surrounding area

Barbara is a seasoned wedding officiant who has been uniting couples in love since 2007. As the former creator and owner of a popular wedding venue, she brings a wealth of experience and a calm, personal touch to every ceremony. Based in Ottawa, Ontario, Barbara specializes in intimate weddings for 2 to 25 guests, offering heartfelt ceremonies that reflect each couple's unique story.

Ceremony packages include:

  • Legal Signing (couple + 2 witnesses) – $200

  • Elopement Ceremony (couple + a few guests) – $250

  • Micro Wedding (or “minimony” – up to 25 guests) – $300

Barbara is also available for couples who wish to have a friend or family member lead their symbolic ceremony but need a licensed officiant to complete the legal requirements of marriage.

As an ordained wedding minister licensed by the province of Ontario, Barbara offers both personalized and traditional ceremonies for couples who are not connected to a church, or who prefer an alternative to a City Hall wedding. Whether you're planning a simple signing or a beautifully intimate celebration, Barbara will help you create a ceremony that's meaningful, warm, and memorable.
