Never tired of saying, I LOVE EACH & EVERYONE OF YOU! ❣️

Special thanks to my friends .mcalpine.events.weddings , the queen of events, for putting together this amazing gathering, and Laura aka , for your unparalleled photo booth experience.💖💖💖

And this is how we start off the New Year 2025 - with much love, celebration and prosperity...✨🎊💞..AAAAAND the last one of our recent series and more to elaborate on questions:

❓Q:

"WHY ARE THERE PRICE RANGES?"

✅ A:

The short answer:

Because there are just as many wonderfully different visions and versions of ceremonies as there are couples. 🙂💖

The long answer:

There are different types of ceremonies:

✨ Elopements, micro weddings, traditional and untraditional weddings;

✨ Different expectations on elaboration of the ceremony, such as content, length, cultural and spiritual backgrounds, or any kind of desired elements, and writing or research on such;

✨ Involvement of rituals, family and friends;

✨ Wedding party size, involvement, and coordination;

✨ Rehearsal + Travel + time spent on the creation of the ceremony, preparation, time of being on-site, and performing each unique ceremony.

✨ And the most overlooked factor for pricing as in many other industries:
Location, location, location!
Are you getting married in a highly sought-after area such as the Okanagan?
Then you may find yourself scoping out a highly sought-after wedding vendor pool, and may understand the dynamics of supply and demand.

✨ And many more factors you may find out about when talking to your Celebrant or Officiant.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have about working with a Celebrant. 💖

Much love and a happy New Year from my heart to yours! 💝✨🤍

...and our answering questions continues with this great one: 📝

❓Q:
"Can you do legal ceremonies?"

✅ A:
The short answer is YES!

The long answer:

It is a part of my work to sign your marriage license and register with you as your legally certified officiant in British Columbia. ✒️

However, as a Celebrant officiating your wedding ceremony, I am ethically obligated and not any less eager to create a personalized experience for you and your love's meaningful milestone moment as your trained professional in the art of ritual and transition. 🕊️

As your Celebrant, I'm representing connection and spirituality based on you, and what's important to you. 💞

So, be aware that there is always more magic involved than simply executing the legalities when working with a Celebrant. ✨
‼️Stay tuned for more questions answered over the next few posts. 📝

Hey lovebirds, 👋🏻🕊️

As promised in my AMA video, I wanted to elaborate on some questions from you that I have also answered in the stories after. 📝

If you are late to the party or just interested in more, here it is...✨
The FIRST of a few questions I'm happily answering here for your understanding of what us Celebrants are doing:

❓Q:
"WHAT ARE YOUR CEREMONIES ABOUT?"

✅ A:
Everything about YOU. 💞..Your love story, your milestones along the way, your passions, your hopes for the future, your family and friends, your love for love.

All in the light and respect of your personal beliefs and understanding of the world that is so lucky to have you in it, your faith, your vision, your background, your culture.....From short'n'sweet to elaborate. ..Including family and friends, pets, kids, or nothing but yourselves. ..Inclusive and meaningful...No standards, no templates.

✨...Uniquely YOU and YOUR LOVE, and everything that matters to YOU. ✨
‼️Stay tuned for more questions answered over the next few posts. 📝

Here are some pops of colour for you!!!
My soul needs it right now, and looking back at one of my favourite gigs this year gives me just that...🧡💜💛💙

✨ I'm beyond grateful to have this privilege of marrying people in their own "fashion", fusions, traditions, backgrounds, cultures and colours of the world, making them smile and cry, giddy and calm, excited and relaxed, open-hearted, listening, dreaming, all the while melting into the waves of storytelling and cozy love...

❣️ Your humans that are so important to you. ❣️

Being a part of your wedding day I experience all the love and feels surrounding you, when your chosen family of friends is taking care of you in all shapes or forms...💕
The one friend that was there for you when you met the love of your life. ✨
The other that convinced you to stick it out when challenges arose. ✨
And then another who brings the bubbly and beer when you just dwell over the last first date you had...✨

We like to remember all those moments during our ceremony by having these important individuals standing with us in support, as they shaped us into who we are on our special day.
- Together with the one who was meant to be our life long companion.

Who will be your besties standing with you? 💗

One of the most beautiful things about being a Celebrant is getting to listen to the story you would like to share with your loved ones...And then going all in, showcasing your whole spirit and dedication to each other through YOUR eyes.
❣️Music to my heart.❣️
So...🎵thank you for the music...🎵

Gratitude to all the vendors who make your celebration of love nothing short of perfect:

Rain or shine - your love will always be mine. 💓
This 💍elopement💍 has a special place in my heart:

It was cold, wet, rainy, windy, and slightly adventurous on a slippery slope to get to the spot we wanted...and it was perfect.
The perfect spot.
Just us and Mother Nature. 🩵💚🤎
No matter the weather - these two were glowing!
(----👆🏻 Swipe to see them radiating love!!!---)

And then...when I pronounced them married, thunder and lightning rolled in as THE blessing of the universe...✨⚡🤍
It truly was as magical as the love between these lovebirds. ✨
Whenever I looked at them, I could see "forever" in their eyes. 💞

Thank you for making the beginning of your new journey so special to everyone involved.

Winging an under-3-minute interview for "Best of Kelowna" on the spot with Jason Mann be like...😅🎤😅 But hey, I'm always here for your infotainment! 😉💓 First and foremost, thanks to NowMedia Group for the invite and this opportunity to - in a nutshell - educate on what #lifecyclecelebrants are doing. 🤍 It's incredibly inspiring to see what our community has to offer in so many ways, and how we lift each other. I'm deeply honoured and grateful. So, here I am, having built my life on excitement about serving others, while I find myself exactly where I'm supposed to be: In this place, in this dream that turned reality, in this job, in this mindset, in this life; with an overflowing cup of gratitude, because... "What's meant for you will not pass you by." (Dr. Brooke Stuart) Thanks to everyone who supports this journey, and to the greatness of this universe. And one more time to really let it sink in - remember folks, and whoever needs to hear this: What's meant to be with you won't pass. ❤️ Please vote for your favourites (don't forget to hit "save"): https://r.pebmac.ca/https://bestof.kelownanow.com/votes/ . . . #bestofkelowna2024 #voting #gratefulheart
