The Marrying Lady -Wedding Officiant

We feel so fortunate to have chosen Tade as the officiant at our wedding. From our very first meeting we were immediately struck by her infectious energy and attentiveness to the whole process. She is immensely knowledgeable and professional. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Tade!

We worked with Tade back in 2020 for a small wedding ceremony. Tade helped us create a ceremony script that was heartfelt and meaningful and reflective of us and our relationship. During the ceremony, her approach was warm, inviting and friendly, and super engaging for our guests. We loved working with Tade and would absolutely recommend her to any couples looking for an inclusive wedding officiant.Photos by Northern Wildflower

We had the privilege of having Tade perform our marriage ceremony on Friday. She was so amazing and delivered a perfect ceremony for Jeromie and I. Throughout the entire process, Tade was so attentive and professional. She made our special day so perfect. Thank you Tade.

Tade did an excellent job officiating our wedding cermony. Her experience shows. The instructions she gave us in advance were clear and practical. Her demeanour was fun and engaging. Our guests had lots of great things to say about the ceremony. Thanks Tade!

Tade was everything we wished for AND MORE as a wedding officiant for our special day. She was not only professional but personable and we could tell, really connected with our guests! She was also super accommodating in building the ceremony that we envisioned. Leading up to the big day, Tade was an amazing communicator and made everything super clear for us in terms of the order of events/ceremony logistics, what to expect, and provided SO many helpful tips (like perfecting our first kiss lol). She is truly a PROFESSIONAL at what she does and we could not recommend her enough! Thank you Tade for everything.. this is a “better late than never” review ;)

Short Review: 10/10. Tade is incredibly skilled in her craft, is both personable and professional, and was one of the stand-out parts of our wedding (both, according to us, the bride and groom, as well as all of our guests). If you want an incredibly thoughtful, personal, fun, intimate, and smooth ceremony for your wedding, Tade is your officiant! We could not recommend her more strongly!!Detailed Review: 10/10. Tade was an absolutely OUTSTANDING officiant! My (now) husband and I were completely floored by how wonderful Tade was and how memorable she made our wedding ceremony. Having had to plan our entire wedding from out of the country and only being able to Zoom/have phone calls, working with Tade was incredibly easy from top to bottom. From her initial introductory phone call to her detailed document that carefully laid out how the ceremony would go (with lots of space for changing wording as we wanted, adding in our own pieces, etc.), we knew exactly what to expect when the big day came, which was perfect! (Although despite us knowing what was coming, Tade still somehow managed to shock us with how magical the ceremony was, due to a combination of her warm demeanour, speech delivery, and overall positive energy!) She was truly a highlight and really set the tone of the whole wedding - MAGICAL!About a week before the ceremony, Tade provided us with numerous suggestions during our “walk-through” Zoom call to help us prepare; some of the suggestions were things we NEVER would have thought of, but we are SO glad Tade told us about them! Reviewing the text Tade would read during the ceremony months before our wedding brought tears to my eyes because of how thoughtful and moving it was, and it again brought tears to my eyes hearing her read it on the day of. She is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in this space, and it absolutely shows in her work. Not only were my husband and I beyond pleased with our ceremony and working with Tade, but our guests were also raving about how amazing Tade’s work was and how incredible she was!This review does not fully capture how amazing Tade is and how thankful we are, having had her be part of our wedding. We cannot recommend Tade more strongly. She was an integral part of our wedding, both for ourselves and for all of the guests in attendance. Thank you, Tade, for being part of the most important day of our lives! You transformed our ceremony into something more perfect than we could have ever dreamed of, and we will always remember what you did for us and all of our families in attendance!- From Jacqueline and Zach

We are SO happy we found Tade (The Marrying Lady) as an officiant for our wedding. We knew from her social media and videos of her work that she would be the perfect fit - but after we met her, it sealed the deal! She has such a warm energy and she knows exactly what she is talking about. She is more than just an officiant, she helps in so many ways. She has an entire website and YouTube channel with advice/ideas on how to run your ceremony, how to write your vows, and how to apply for a marriage lisence. We reviewed everything and it was extremely helpful. We also did a virtual walk through of our ceremony about a month before our wedding and this was such good practice of what the day is going to be like. On the day of our wedding, she also is helping manage the audience to get them seated accordingly and to fill the gaps on empty seats (ie. in the aisles). The most impressive thing was that she was able to effectively communicate (in a very elegant and polite way) to our guests that we did not want photos/videos taken by our guests during the ceremony, and not a single person took out there phone for pics/videos which we were SO happy about. We really love how Tade made the ceremony all about us. We absolutely love how she steps away during our vows, as we are declared husband and wife and during our first kiss, so the attention is 100% on us and it looks great in photos. She also did other cues like tell guests when to stand or sit, so it was always cohesive in our photos. Many people asked us after the wedding how we found her, and complimented her a lot. Her voice is very zen and comforting, especially when nervous on your wedding day! We loved working with Tade and we would recommend her to anyone getting married!

Simply amazing! Tade was perfect for our wedding, which was focused on infusing as much love and laughter and joy as possible!! She was probably the most complimented of our vendors by our guests, and the compliments are still coming in weeks later! Words used by our guests include warm, funny, energetic, and unique. From our side, Tade was responsive, professional, and we felt like she was truly here to support our big day in exactly the way we wanted. The walk-through before the big day was phenomenal and put us at so much ease during the ceremony, because we knew what to expect and do! Thank you Tade for making our day so memorable.

I do not have words to describe how amazing Tade was throughout our whole planning process. She helped us create amazing, down-to-earth, realistic vows for our very unique ceremony. She was accommodating when we had to change the time of our appointment and every single guest at our wedding mentioned how funny and interesting the ceremony was because of Tade. Thank you so much!!

Tade was so thoughtful throughout our entire wedding planning experience, and she really prepared us for our wedding ceremony. We felt like we already knew her even during our very first interaction. She is exactly what you think: kind, open minded, gentle with her approach, fun, and she really does love LOVE. We're so thankful to have had her as our officiant. Our guests enjoyed her presence and continue to speak highly of her! She's the best!
