Barbara O'Dell

I would be thrilled to be your Officiant and participate in your journey to unite love, lives and families. My husband Ric and our two children live in Ottawa West. After several successful years in high tech customer service, I am now a proud small business owner and minister focusing on mental and spiritual wellness in the community. One of my passions is to play a part in the happiest moments of peoples’ lives and to conduct your wedding ceremony. I would love to hear all about your plans and work with you to make it the most special day of your life.

Barbara is kind, thoughtful, and a true professional. We arranged our ceremony last minute, and she made sure to call us ahead of the event and arrive early. She's a great speaker, and you can tell she is passionate about her work. I would highly recommend Barbara-- she made our day feel extra special. Thanks for all your help!

Barbara O'Dell exceeded our expectations, she was very thoughtful and genuine. It was easy to tell that she was very happy for us, she is a very kind and warm person. She made our day very special despite all of our restrictions due to COVID-19. We would recommend her to anyone wanting to get married. She was absolutely wonderful and I couldn't imagine anyone else performing our ceremony. Aart & Julie April 2020
