Personalized Wedding Ceremonies

Jim Emerson was our officiant for our private wedding ceremony on 12-31-2020. (8 people, masked, in front of our Christmas tree). From the very start he was quick to respond with a bright friendly attitude. He made sure to mention that he wanted to make this ceremony about us and get to know our personalities together as a couple.

Jim asked questions via email and sent us a breakdown of the entire ceremony (that we could edit as we liked!). He included unique ideas, suggestions and helped with some wording. In the end, we had a completely unique ceremony that spoke to us as a couple.

Jim put us completely at ease and was a pleasure to have officiate our wedding!! We WILL recommend him to others.

Rinette was more than my wife and I could have ever asked for from an Officiant. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony was perfect and unique to us. Despite COVID-19, Rinette was with us every step of the way offering suggestions and ideas for our ceremony and making sure we were comfortable no matter what the circumstances. Thanks, Rinette.

Jim was the officiant at our elopement wedding ceremony. There was only my husband and I, our 2 witnesses and Jim. My husband was quite nervous, but Jim was so easy to talk to and has such a great personality, that he settled us down in minutes. Being the Elope package I wasn’t expecting much, but it was more than I could have imagined. Our witnesses said it was the nicest wedding they had ever attended and wished they had had Jim as their officiant. Big or small, I am certain Jim would make any wedding ceremony very special.

We recently had the honour of having Jim officiate our civil ceremony and my husband and I were very happy! Due to the pandemic, we had a very small intimate ceremony and Jim helped us from the minute we spoke and got to know him via Zoom until the end of the ceremony.

He is extremely passionate and thinks of every detail to ensure you will be left with a memorable ceremony and great ideas for the speech, the vows and of course the photos. Jim was so easy to work with and he ensured that we add a touch of humour and a small poem in the ceremony which helped our families feel so emotional and happy. His wonderful presence and guidance were exceptional. It was a wonderful experience, and he ensured every person at the ceremony would witness and enjoy the entire experience with us.

We absolutely, without a shred of doubt, recommend him.

Wedding days can be a bit stressful so having somebody like Jim by your side it's priceless. Jim is not only humourous and professional, but also super passionate about the true meaning of a wedding.

He worked with us to create a ceremony that fit our unique love story and went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was unique and enjoyable. His experience and sense of humor made everything flow seamlessly. Additionally, his attention to detail made our ceremony and wedding photos look great.

Finally, he committed to saying a phrase in Spanish so we could show our culture and share the blessing of our union with our family that could not attend our ceremony due to COVID.

To sum up, Jim is the Best Officiant any couple could wish for!

Rinette was exactly what we expected and more.

Her tips in advance of the wedding were extremely helpful, and we took advantage of all of them - from printing our vows on nicer paper, to stopping halfway down the aisle for a kiss, to the edits to our personal vows to each other.

Rinette was organized, and very understanding when we changed our wedding date 3 times!

Our guests were raving about her all night on how amazing, and funny she was. We want to thank you, Rinette, so much for officiating our wedding and we recommend you to anyone we hear who is getting married!

We had a 50 odd person wedding employing Jim Emerson as our Officiant. He was a pleasure to work with. He proposed extensive ideas on how to create our ceremony and was totally receptive to our ideas. This allowed us to custom build the ceremony we wanted, and it was carried off beautifully with Jim at the helm.

Jim coordinated all aspects of the ceremony with skill and his solid knowledge of what works. We heartily endorse Jim, found him very easy to work with and totally receptive to our feelings. A+

My husband and I were married last week by Rinette. She is truly an amazing lady. She is kind, knowledgeable, caring and very dependable. Rinette made the whole process so easy and enjoyable.

Our wedding day was perfect! She was also a real hit with our guest!!!! I highly recommend Rinette to any couple looking to have a personal and memorable ceremony.
