Why a bespoke ceremony?
Because you deserve it.
Your wedding ceremony should be unique to you, reflecting your own individual love-story.
Sure it will be cheaper to hire a commissioner or even ask a friend or relative to deliver a script for free, but do you really want a cookie-cutter template ceremony heard a thousand times before at a thousand other weddings, or a ceremony lifted verbatim from a website?
It’s worth it to hire a pro on what is likely the most important day of your life.
See my FAQ page for a clear explanation of the differences between celebrants and commissioners.

Why choose Linda to translate your story?
As a certified Lifecycle Celebrant™ with the esteemed Celebrant Foundation and Institute, I am a trained ceremony specialist. As a professional copywriter of many years standing I specialize in ceremony scripts that pack in ‘all the feels’ but are kept short, generally 20-30mns max.
I will craft and create for you a beautiful bespoke ceremony that none who observe it will ever forget. My ceremonies are unique, based on each couple’s wants and desires, carefully and mindfully crafted in full consultation with clients. I am an experienced wedding planner with over ten years experience as an Associate Planner for premier planning companies. I answered a call to branch out into celebrancy, studying with the Celebrant Foundation and Institute and being certified by that prestigious body in April 2020.
Professional celebrants like myself create and conduct wedding ceremonies for a living. It’s what we do and it’s what we were trained to do. We are good at it.

About Linda

As a certified Lifecycle Celebrant™ with the esteemed Celebrant Foundation and Institute, I am a trained ceremony specialist.
As an ordained minister with the Canadian International Metaphysical Ministry I am authorized to solemnize marriages in the Province of British Columbia. I specialize in spiritual, inter-denominational, non-denominational and multi-faith ceremonies.
‘Spiritual’ to my mind denotes anything that speaks to the couple and is meaningful to them. For example, if desired a ceremony reading can take the form of a favourite song lyric! Why not?
In my other life I was a professional ski instructor for over 30 years. I am proud to say I was consistently one of their most requested private instructors. Skiing is still a part of my life.
My husband and I have been married for almost 50 years. We celebrate our Golden Anniversary in 2025. We have two wonderful children; our daughter is a nurse, our son a police officer. Both our children grew up in the beautiful Coastal Mountains of British Columbia. We are also proud grandparents.
