Everything was great until our wedding day. Amalia was an hour and a half late and arrived 5 minutes before our ceremony. She was supposed to arrive to the venue two hours prior - that's what was communicated. She did not call, email, text or answer her phone. Very concerning and extremely unprofessional. The only stress I had on my wedding day was from our officiant. I am writing this review - almost a year later because it still haunts us. I want every couple that wants to have Amalia officiate their wedding to deeply think and reconsider.

We had the good fortune to be married by the amazing Amalia Raven this weekend…read more We've been living together for 12 yrs, and with family scattered across the globe, we chose to have the simplest of ceremonies, so that we could celebrate appropriately with different branches, as and when our travel schedules allow. Amalia guided us into a wedding that was truly romantic and absolutely unforgettable, while keeping everything as simple as we had wanted. We felt truly lucky and blessed to have her officiate our wedding. She is certainly gifted and has a talent for her passion.

My husband and I were married by Sarah at the beautiful 'Hazelton Manor' in July of 2015. As a…read morelawyer with particularly high standards, and one who prides herself on being extraordinarily thorough, I can confidently say that Sarah exceeded each and every one of my expectations. Sarah was quite simply perfect; perfectly knowledgeable, perfectly professional, perfectly thorough, perfectly organized and perfectly inspiring! During our initial consultation Sarah thoroughly explored our vision for our perfect day. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Sarah knew more about the Persian traditions and customs in my wedding than the most ardent of Persians. I loved that Sarah understood my vision for a modern Canadian ceremony perfectly blended with the most beautiful elements of the Persian/Zoroastrian tradition. Closer to the wedding day, Sarah met with us yet again to finalize all remaining details, from the vows all the way through to the timing and order of those appearing in the ceremony. Her level of thoroughness, organization and proactive approach to problem solving left me relaxed and certain that everything would indeed go off without a hitch. Thanks to Sarah, our ceremony was simply flawless. Her words were incredibly touching and will forever be captured in my memory. To this day, I continue to receive compliments from friends and family on how our ceremony was the most beautiful they have ever seen! I would highly recommend Sarah for all types of weddings.

She has an established and a very effective way of working with couples and knows exactly how to deal with a specific scenario and story you have . After getting all information she required from us (it was very easy to share all our information filling out the Questionnaire she provided us with and explaining exactly what we were looking for or hoped to see during our ceremony), Sarah provided us with a beautiful and personalized ceremony that she wrote specifically for two of us based upon all that information she collected. We kept in touch constantly via the email and the phone most of the time when we had any questions or concerns. A week before the wedding, we had a final meeting with Sarah during which we went through all the details and specifications of the ceremony, she provided us with the structure and the order of the ceremony, made some professional suggestions we loved; we had a chance to ask all the questions we had left at that time and finalized everything for the upcoming big day. Overall, our experience with Sarah was great, easy, very efficient and most importantly - stress-less and relaxed. We appreciate her hard work and creativity! We recommend Ms. Gibson to anyone who is looking for an officiant for their special day and who wants to get an amazing personalized romantic ceremony that will impress not only you but all your family and guests as well!

Having Martin Frith as our ceremony officiant was one of the highlights of the wedding…read more Unfortunately, my wife and I had our wedding postponed twice due to Covid. We finally celebrated our marriage with a ceremony and reception 2.5 years later. At this point we were already legally married and had a 1 year old daughter. Martin stuck with us over these 2 years and I am so glad he did. Despite of the postponement, Martin never charged us with an additional postponement fee (unlike other vendors). We met virtually on Zoom and he asked all the right questions to get to know our story in a short period of time. He even managed to get my wife to tear up during the process (which I found amusing, but not my wife). On our special day, he delivered a great introduction to our story including how we met and how we got engaged. He also coached us into writing our own vows, which ended up being the most heartfelt, meaningful and emotional part of the wedding day (a little unexpectedly). Martin really does a superb job being an officiant. I am amazed at how quickly and well he got to know us, even after only one virtual meeting. Martin also seems like a great person with a hugely positive personality. I give Martin and Ceremonies With Choice my highest recommendation.

Carrie made sure our ceremony was exactly what we had always imagined and made our day feel very special for us. I cannot say enough good things about Carrie and would highly recommend her.

Very unhappy with the whole experience…read more We booked a simple "make it legal" wedding service for $275. On the day of, she came in and literally just started setting up papers. No excitement or courtesy at all and it really killed the mood. I guess we didn't pay enough for our officiant to show some positivity during the wedding? It also would've have been nice to tell us what's happening before saying "ok sign here". Our marriage registration didn't even end up making it to the government. I understand this sometimes happens with the mail, but I would've expected the officiant to take some responsibility. Instead she asked me for $50 to send it again as what we paid only includes 1 shipment and she would have to pay to send it by tracked mail this time. I just went to Canada Post myself and bought a prepaid envelope for $20! I even had to drive 30 mins (one way) to pick up a copy of the registration from where she was working another job, as she didn't want to drop that off to me.
