Personalized Wedding Ceremonies

First off, I would like to express how grateful and how easy Jim made our ceremony as smooth as possible. He is knowledgeable, quick to respond, eager to help, and finally very professional.

We had our small but intimate family & close friends garden wedding at a private residence. Jim was excellent at getting everyone on point and to do exactly what my wife and I were hoping.

Finally, you can tell how much experience and ideas Jim has offer – which he did throughout when we hired OttawaWeddingOfficiants.com and Jim.

We highly recommend him for anyone that is planning their wedding ceremony like us!

Thank you, Jim!!

We had the most wonderful experience with Jim as our officiant.

The pandemic completely ruined our wedding plans multiple times and Jim was always professional, supportive, and helpful when we had to change our event. He was always there to remind us that our wedding is about us and our love and kept us focused when we were dealing with a lot of stress.

On the day of our event, Jim brought so much personal charm. He had us smiling and laughing before our ceremony, put everyone at ease with his kindness and organization, and made us feel so excited to get married. Our ceremony was smooth and so beautiful. He truly gave us the authentic experience we were seeking and had difficulty finding with other officiants.

Jim wanted us to show our true selves and encouraged us to celebrate our love. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would recommend Jim to anyone who is seeking a really beautiful, real experience. Our guests loved our ceremony and loved Jim just as much as we did! Thank you so much!

We would like to thank you, Rinette, for officiating our wedding ceremony. It was beyond excellent, just as we hoped.

hope you continue to help couples create and enjoy their wedding ceremony. It was an enjoyable and beautiful ceremony. I will recommend your service to others. Keep up the great work. Thanks Rinette.

Jim Emerson is a lovely officiant who has great ideas, encourages uniqueness, and offers terrific advice every step of the way. He genuinely wants your wedding to shine and makes sure to give you every tool you need to succeed.

We loved how Jim handled our ceremony, and he gave us tips we didn't even consider helping make the day even more special. Jim is genuinely great at his job, and we would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Words cannot express our gratitude for the services that Ottawa Wedding Officiants provided us. Rinette was responsive, supportive, patient and provided guidance that made our day absolutely perfect!!!

Words cannot describe what an amazing job Rinette did as our Officiant.

It was such a crazy whirlwind of a day and I felt pulled in 1000 different directions. However, Rinette was great at helping me focus on the important things of the ceremony and letting go of the distractions.

Rinette has truly found her calling in life and I hope that couples who are fortunate enough to meet her and to be married by her know how lucky they are!

Everyone commented on what a great job she did, and her warm and humourous personality.

Thank you Rinette for being so amazing at what you do and helping make our day perfect!

Jim was a pleasure to work with. From our first video call (you can really tell he loves weddings!) Jim’s obvious passion for weddings made me more excited for mine haha!

Jim provided guidance, ideas and suggestions for our vows as neither my husband nor had never been to a wedding before, so his guidance was greatly appreciated. He also reminded us to treasure the day and each moment of our celebration.

Despite the pandemic and sudden lockdown, he kindly married us on our special day. Thank you, Jim, for beautifully officiating our intimate ceremony. We strongly recommend that if you are getting married ask Jim to officiate your wedding!

Jim Emerson was our wedding officiant in Fall 2020. As you might imagine, it was a challenge to get married safely during COVID, but we managed to get it done thanks to Jim's great support.

He stayed positive and helped us through many last-minute changes and made sure that our moment was incredibly special for us, the few people who could attend in person and for all the guests who were streaming online.

We would highly recommend Jim to our friends and family.
