Personalized Wedding Ceremonies

We were so lucky to have Rinette officiate our wedding. She was one of the highlights of the day and our guests RAVED and raved about her and the ceremony. Honestly, you could not be in better hands.

Right from our first zoom meeting we were comfortable with Rinette as she seemed to understand exactly what we wanted without even having to say it. She guided us through the process seamlessly.

During our rehearsal, she was amazing with our SIX flower girls under the age of 9 and made everyone feel at ease. Fast forward to the day of - she met us before and made some amazing suggestions to the ceremony. It was obvious that Rinette really cared and wanted the ceremony to flow smoothly.

The actual ceremony was magic -- her voice, words, the way she moves around so our photographer could get some photos of just the two of us…and our guests can actually see everything that was happening. It was just amazing - everyone was so impressed.

You could not be in better hands!! Thanks Rinette.

He helped my wife and I throughout the entire process leading up to our big day. Jim really helped to plan out our perfect ceremony which was tailored to our specific wants and needs. You can really tell that he loves his job and he truly enjoys every part about it. He gave us so many great suggestions for the ceremony that we would have never thought of. I highly recommend Jim as an officiant to anyone.

Thanks again Jim!

Jim Emerson was our officiant and he custom tailored our ceremony and helped us through the whole process; we can't adequately express how special and amazing he made our wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who wants someone who will get to know them so he can help you make the wedding ceremony of your dreams. May God bless you Jim!

We were so happy to have had Jim as our Officiant on our wedding day.

He helped us plan every aspect of our ceremony and made sure we were organized as it unfolded. Jim’s outgoing and sense of humour set the perfect mood for our small and intimate family ceremony.

Thank you so much Jim, for helping make our special day so enjoyable and memorable.

Jim is the BEST, period!

Thank you so much for making our wedding day SPECIAL! Where do I start with this guy? During our wedding officiant search, it was clear from the get-go that Jim stood out! From our first conversation with him, we could see that he has a true passion for what he does.

Because of COVID, we elected to have a small, quaint backyard ceremony with immediate family. Jim was extremely patient, warm, responsive, and offered some great ideas. Everyone at our wedding had nothing but great things to say about him.

Thank you Jim... We are forever grateful for making our special day memorable! 10/10 Highly recommended.

As an events manager I had HIGH standards as to what I was looking for in an officiant. I had met 2 or 3 new officiants every week while I was facilitating weddings and they all did the job well.

Jim was someone who stood out to me both professionally and personally. His outgoing cheerful demeanor was so fantastic to work with. He would check in frequently over the months as we had to change dates quite a few times over the pandemic.

Jim was flexible and eager to help with anything I needed.

Not only was he amazing to work with but the website they provided for us with suggestions on how to create a personalized ceremony was out of this world! We had friends comment to use following our wedding that it was so "US"... Jokes, stories, personalized vows...

Jim was there to help us through everything.He knows the industry inside and out. Every detail is so important. He even knew when to step aside so that our "first kiss photo" was just of us!

I could not recommend Jim more!

Thank you Jim! You made our wedding day so special.

My husband and I chose Rinette Emerson to officiate our ceremony after we read a Facebook recommendation about her.

When we first met Rinette we loved her personality and her attention for detail. She took the time to go over little things we hadn't yet thought about. She made sure to ask questions and help personalize our ceremony to make it memorable and just the way we wanted it. You can tell she is attentive to all the major and minor details.

We definitely recommend Rinette to anyone looking for a great officiant!

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!!!
