Testimonials

Lorraine went above and beyond all of our expectations. We could not have asked for a better officiant who made us feel so comfortable and had such beautiful words to say. Thank you so much Lorraine! Jeffrey & Lisa

Lorraine was the perfect choice for our private ceremony. We are from out of province, so her location advice was particularly valuable. She was also a great help with the legal/paperwork side of the marriage. We ended up choosing the location she suggested and it couldn't have been better. The ceremony was authentic and natural, forming the most important piece of our amazing wedding day. Mark & Samantha (photo by Maurizio Solis Broca Photography

You did such an exceptional job of capturing our story and translating it into the most beautiful, romantic and meaningful ceremony. We realize how lucky we were to be able to work with such a caring and thoughtful professional. Thank you for your kindness, patience and devotion to making our wedding day so perfect." Lea & Thomas

"Lorraine helped make mine and my husband's wedding ceremony perfect! From her calm and friendly attitude, to her spot on sense of humour, she was the perfect strike of elegance to make the day possible. We found her professional from day one, and very clear about legalities and the marriage certificate process in general. Thanks again Lorraine!!" Sarah & Julian

"Lorraine was a fantastic officiant!!! From start to finish she did a wonderful job making sure we were ok and the ceremony was exactly what we wanted.

After our ceremony our guests were shocked to discover she was able to write such a great wedding with only a few meetings and phone calls, and she had us down pat!!

Funny and creative with our crazy "Habs Fans" themed wedding, she had ideas of her own as well as how to make our kids part of the ceremony. Right from the start she jumped on board with us and made our wedding perfect !! couldn't have had a better officiant!!!"

"Thank you again for the lovely Baby Welcoming Ceremony.
We got rave reviews from our guests who are used to traditional church baptisms
so this was a big change for them. Seems we may have started a new trend!" Laura

"Lorraine was the perfect officiant. She was completely committed to our vision for our wedding which consisted of a pretty loose concept with a few specific parameters that was reasonably untraditional. We met over Skype and exchanged a few emails and she fleshed out our loose ideas into a very beautiful ceremony that we had plenty of time to review and provide comment - we didn't have many to make since it was on point.
She reminded us that she could make edits as the ceremony evolved and that it was our day and should be just what we expected and wanted, which we appreciated since it was a little offbeat. She took care of all the legalities, which was helpful since we do not live in Canada.
She also made several logistic suggestions that were helpful since we were unfamiliar with the city of Montreal and also with the whole process of getting married. She showed up the day of right on time, very professional but warm, and was in communication throughout the day. Our guests kept repeating to us at the reception how beautiful the ceremony was and how great the officiant had done. You could definitely tell she was an experienced professional in her element and that she loves what she does." Dan & John (photo by Maurizio Solis)

"We are very happy that Lorraine Cowan was part of our wedding ceremony in Montreal. Even though we live in the U.S., she made it easy to communicate with her via email and Skype to not only plan the ceremony, but also for her to get to know us. She helped us create a personalized ceremony that shared our story as a couple and incorporated both traditional and nontraditional elements. During the ceremony, we appreciated how welcoming she was to our guests and thoughtful to us, even coming prepared with tissues for a crying bride and a beautifully printed copy of the ceremony as a memento. Lorraine is now firmly a part of the happy memories we have of that day."
