Bonnie was amazing! When we were shopping around for potentials, she got back to us immediately. When she called us she was very professional, answered all of our questions, and was by far the best person we talked toand we talked to quite a few. She was extremely accommodating in our requests, helped us make all of the right decisions for our ceremony and was in constant contact with us. On the day of our wedding we were SO happy that she married us. She was dressed very professional, had a beautiful personality, and was so personable. I was extremely nervous and she completely helped me relax. She performed our ceremony better than we could have ever imagined. My guests absolutely adored her as much as we did and we literally felt like she was part of the family by the end of the ceremony. Ive been to quite a few weddings and honestly she is the best youre going to find!

Bonnie made our day so special. We chose to do a Celtic Handfasting in addition to the traditional ceremony and she happily added it for us. She was a great resource when it came to choosing a non-cliche location and finding someone to take photos. She even offered up her daughter's violin talent for the ceremony (she was ill and not able to come, but just knowing that Bonnie and her family are so fully involved in making your day special was enough! I should also mention that she was able to help us put together the whole shabang in about 5 days. (She squeezed us in on a very busy day for weddings 12/13/14 and even contributed to our plans by suggesting that we begin the ceremony at 10:11 am.) The day was special, unique, non-fussy, and about my husband and me...which is exactly what we wanted! You can't go wrong with Bonnie, she's a gem.

You cannot sum up with words what a fantastic job Bonnie does! We did a destination wedding in Nevada, and communicated with Bonnie for six months in preparation for our big day. She truly brought everything together and helped to execute our vision, including coordinating all of the important details on the day of. Bonnie embraced us with open arms, which was very important considering we are a same sex couple...no questions asked, Bonnie was inclusive and loving, and very excited to make our relationship official and legal through marriage. She captured our love story beautifully and it was a humbling and amazing experience. Not only is she an officiant, she goes above and beyond to truly make you feel special and help you coordinate your big day and make your visions become reality. She embraces all loving relationships and captures the love a couple has for each other, combining professionalism, class and courtesy to provide a magnificent service that truly goes above and beyond. There are many officiants aiming to provide the same service, but Bonnie is truly connected to her couples and it shows from day one and throughout the process. She is one of a kind and we were blessed to have her on our side for the big day. Thank you Bonnie! Love, your Canadian girls.
