Thank you for the beautiful ceremony you put together for us at our wedding. The hand-fasting was a perfect touch and we both loved it. Thank you too for the lovely book you created with our wedding ceremony as a remembrance for our day. Numerous people asked about you after the service, saying how beautiful the ceremony was and how heartfelt you delivered it. Thank you again, we certainly made the right choice when we retained you for our wedding officiant. You made our day perfect … Ricki & Matthew ~ July, 2016
Barb was our officiant last September and made our day so special. She really worked with us to make sure our ceremony was suited to us and our family. She is a beautiful soul … Teri-Lynn & Joseph Skelly ~ September 2016
I’ve known Barb for years but my fiancé (now husband) only met her to discuss the wedding. From the first time he met her, he felt her warmth and geninue interest in being part of our happiness. She was funny and personalized our ceremony exactly the way we wanted it! Thank you Barb for contributing to our beautiful day … Mindy & Matt Leduc ~ February 2017
Barb is such a wonderful, caring & compassionate person ~ you feel that as soon as you meet her. We chose to have the hand-fasting as part of our ceremony and it could not have been more perfect for us. The words and symbolism fit us to a ‘tee’. All of our guests loved it and thought it was one of the best ceremonies they had witnessed, if you are looking for an officiant that stands out above the rest ~ Barb is your woman! She even makes a keepsake book for you with all of the readings from the ceremony … Samantha & Jesse Van Schaik ~ July 2017
Thank you Barb for making our ceremony so beautiful and so unique to us. It was more than we’d hoped for and our guests also kept complimenting us, which should really be passed to you … Lyndsay & John Shetler ~ July 2017
Barb, every photo I see of you performing a wedding you are absolutely glowing! It is obvious to all how much you love what you do … Truly Folkes-Dubourdieu ~ July 2017
Thank you for doing such a beautiful wedding ceremony for Paul and me yesterday. It was a perfect blend of spirituality, love, commitment and family; all the things that are at the very forefront of our hearts. You really captured our true essence by incorporating those beliefs and values into our marriage vows. It really couldn’t have been more inspirational, thoughtful or professionally presented. You should see all the personal messages I’m getting complimenting your ceremony service and a few people have been asking for your contact information as well. I’ve had the opportunity to read over the little book you put together for us and I cried like a baby. Thank you so much for doing that – Paul and I really appreciate it. It will be a timeless keepsake we will revisit and appreciate for many years to come. Barb, thanks again from the bottom of our hearts … Tammie & Paul Amodeo ~ August 2017
My husband and I couldn’t be happier that we chose Barb to be the officiant at our wedding. From the moment we met Barb, we felt an instant connection to her. She is an incredibly warm, open person who wears her heart on her sleeve, is easy to talk to, and even easier to work with. She has her process down pat and made us feel so comfortable every step of the way. She suggested ideas and had recommendations, but never tried to force her own preferences on us when we didn’t choose them. We wrote our own vows, and Barb’s words throughout the rest of the ceremony matched ours so well. She also led a beautiful hand-fasting ceremony that added a little something extra to the event. She had more than enough presence and charisma to lead our ceremony in front of all our family and friends, but never became the focus of it herself. We enthusiastically recommend Barb to any other couple who is looking for an officiant for their wedding. Thank you, Barb … Cassandra & Brian – September 2017
Matt and I are so happy we chose Barb as our officiant. She offered a personal touch that made our ceremony so special. Everyone at the wedding commented on how lovely her words were and our families were equally as enthused about her. We are so glad that she suggested the wine box, where we placed a special bottle of rye (our drink), two glasses and letter to each other for when we open it on our 10 year anniversary. It now sits in our living room with our ceremony book that she printed for us as a reminder of our vows. I cannot wait to open it in 10 years: it is so special to us! Barb, we will be thinking about you for the rest of our lives as you were such a special part of our wedding ceremony … Katrina & Matt – March 2018
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Barb, for the wonderful ceremony that you provided for us. We received so many compliments. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to join together in marriage.
Thank you, thank you, thank you … Jenlyn & Brett – September 2018
The wedding was everything and more than we could ever have hoped for. Beautifully done with all the personal touches and the Jamaica flair. I loved how you used the words from the Bob Marley song
“And when I am king, Surely I would need a queen,
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king, And my queen will come at dawn,
She’ll be waiting in Kingston Town!”
It was all so emotional and beautiful. Jason and I are both so happy that we chose Barb to be our officiant for our wedding in the backyard at our new home. We had our wedding originally planned in Jamaica but had to cancel so bringing a little Jamaica to us was brilliant. The entire ceremony had so many amazing quotes from Bob Marley and I love that Barb even wore the Jamaican colours. It was such a beautiful day and we are so grateful that we had you there to share it with us. Thanks again for everything Barb … Jason & Deanna, September, 2020
