🔥 Hot tip on vows: Flip a coin to decide who goes first! 🪙

As soon as couples hear "it is now time to exchange vows", I can feel hearts racing. 💕

Relax, take a deep breath, and pick "head or tail." Lets keep it playful and keep YOU in the moment. My worst fear is couples blacking out and not remembering the ceremony.

💚 I've been waiting to post this picture until Valentine's Day... Because they are just the CUTEST. Welcoming couples and their families to my home is such a unique and meaningful experience.

Congratulations

Thank you for the review and lovely words. It was such a beautiful moment.

"Catherine was welcoming and compassionate. We did a simple signing ceremony at her lovely home and it was a beautiful experience. Thank you so much Catherine for being that special person in our lives who married us officially! We will always cherish our little wedding!"

Thank you

As I emerge from my creative cocoon post a stunning 2023 wedding season, exciting things are on the horizon. I cant wait to meet all the wonderful couples I've chatted with recently.

A common question I get is "Can you do a bilingual ceremony?" Absolutely!

Yet, it's more intricate than a simple translation. Where are your families from? Who speaks only English or French? Are you bilingual? It's about crafting a ceremony that seamlessly flows in both languages, ensuring a unique experience for bilingual guests. The balance might be 50% French, 30% English – it varies based on your celebration. My job is to find that perfect blend.

Cheers to making people feel warm and fuzzy! 💖🎉

This is T•E•N 10 💛

February 1st, 2014. There was a snowstorm, we planned our wedding in three weeks and along with 22 or our closest people we said "I do". I knew our life would be special, but never could I have imagined how amazing our journey would be. Feeling very grateful today (well actually tomorrow) and everyday. Weddings are personal to me for so many reasons. This guy being one of them.

Cant wait to walk down the aisle today! The middle one ✈️ 🤣 for a long weekend in the big 🍎.

A Hidden Gem 💎

is all about the details. I didn't know this beautiful space existed until last wedding season. A sister property of , is a unique and intimate venue with a front rock garden that sets the stage for the most dreamy al fresco dinner experience. Why not get married and stay for the weekend? The entire place is yours!

Also, it was such a pleasure working with on 📷 who captured the day so perfectly.

✨️I just really love weddings. From the excitement building up to the ceremony to witnessing radiant smiles and feeling the electric energy between two people—every moment is magic. On this day, we included Filipino ceremony rituals, each symbolizing profound significance.... a beautiful way of honoring two people, two families and two cultures coming together as one. 💖

Loved my time at and looking forward to 2024!
