Cecilia Penner, BSc (McMaster), BEd (Queens)

We highly recommend Cecilia Penner as a wedding officiant! We were drawn by Cecilia’s charm and fun-loving nature from the start, which is exactly the tone she set for our ceremony. She made the wedding process so easy for us—she was organized, easy to communicate with, and helped guide us through the ceremony planning, vow writing, and marriage registration process. We felt like she really cared about us and our union. We’ll be recommending Cecilia to all our friends! September 2024

Cecilia went beyond meeting our expectations. Cecilia was so helpful and so professional and so caring from day 1. On December 21st when we were told that our original plan for our wedding couldn't happen due to Covid rules, we were devastated. We had to come up with a new plan. When we emailed Cecilia about our idea we eagerly waited for her reply. Her response was "No matter what you plan, I am absolutely there!" We had a beautiful, magical, outdoor at night ceremony in the snow on New Years Eve, that ended up better than our original plan. Thank you Cecilia from the bottom of our hearts. We couldn't have done this without you. Dec 2021

There are so many wonderful things to say about Cecelia Penner! She is a genuine, kind-hearted, and passionate woman. She radiates joy and love as she eloquently addresses a crowd. She is witty and knows exactly how to create the perfect flow to her words. The biggest impact was the time she took to get to know us before helping us create our ceremony. It’s incredible how she captured the essence of our family, life situation, spiritual preferences, language, and love story in such a short time, turning it into a deeply personalized ceremony . She was made for this line of work! It is with our sincerest gratitude that we say THANK YOU CECELIA for the most incredible day of our lives! We would highly recommend her to any couple as they embark on the journey towards their wedding nuptials. Feb 2022

Cecilia Penner is one of the most lovely individuals. She was kind and patient while explaining the process, she met with us before hand and helped us customize the ceremony exactly how we wanted. She braved the freezing winds on top of a mountain on Christmas eve just to make our dreams come true. She brought the sweetest, friendliest witnesses for us and they all pitched in to bring us bubbly for a toast. They took pictures for and with us and were all in all a lively and fun bunch of people. My husband and I have always wanted to do a public vow renewal eventually as we eloped, and I will most certainly be looking to book Cecelia for that in the future. December 2021

We were so grateful to have Cecilia Penner wed us! From her attention to detail, embracing both of our cultures that was integrated into the ceremony, printing our vows on beautiful cards sealed with a wax stamps... making sure we had a practice ceremony (thank goodness). We are beyond thankful for her on our big day! Everything was perfect and beautifully thought out; she really put us at ease and went above and beyond. Anyone would be lucky to have Cecilia as their officiant and we are eternally grateful for her presence and professionalism on this day we hold near and dear to our hearts. We feel very lucky!

As always Cecilia is lovely and helpful. She has such a calm and friendly demeanor, she puts everyone at ease. We love working with her. xo

Cecilia Penner absolutely blew us away. She showed excitement with us from day one. Cecilia stayed in close contact with us throughout the months leading up to our Wedding and provided us with all the necessary information, on how to obtain our wedding license and even how to change my name. Cecilia created the most exceptional ceremony for us and I honestly could not have wished for anything more. It was just perfect. Cecilia provided us with 2 witnesses, as we eloped and did not have any friends and family at our ceremony. I wish we could have spent all afternoon with the 3 of them! They were SUCH a beautiful part of our day. Cecilia has a warm and welcoming demeanor about her. She is someone that you could imagine, just gives the grandest of hugs! Miranda & Dylan August 2021

Cecilia Penner did an amazing job. She was helpful, encouraging and very pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond, and really exceeded our expectations to make our day special. We've already recommended her to friends, but unfortunately she was already booked for their date. A testament to how good of a job she does I guess :) Alex & Stephanie May 2021

"Cecilia was everything we could have wanted and more! Even while getting married during the pandemic, Cecilia brought a spectacular energy to our wedding and made our day as special as it could be. The script was a true personification of both of us, and this was only eclipsed by her delivery of the ceremony. Another show of her ability is that our best man asked her to officiate his wedding because he loved her just that much. If you are wanting a ceremony personalized just for you, Cecilia will do a better job than you can imagine and we highly recommend her to anybody when given the chance." Brian & Rosie May 2020

Cecilia Penner was very professional and just the right balance of friendly and kind. Thank you for making our day possible. Thomas & Cynthia March 2021

We would highly recommend Cecilia Penner as an officiant! From our very first phone call, we had a great feeling! Cecilia is warm, friendly and compassionate. You can tell that she loves what she does. We got married in December 2020 when COVID restrictions were rapidly changing. Cecilia checked in regularly to support us along the way and make the necessary accommodations. Cecilia walked us through the whole process and sent us a copy of the ceremony well before the wedding to review. She made lots of thoughtful touches and printed out our vows on lovely cardstock paper. The wedding day was pouring rain but she braved the weather with a smile. Thank you Cecilia!

Cecilia Penner was absolutely wonderful. We had over 140 people in attendance via Facebook live and a zoom call with out family and friends, nearly the same number of people had left comments to myself or Shelby about how wonderful Cecilia was and how beautiful the ceremony was overall. Myself and Shelby both agreed that we are so happy with how we decided to get married and could not have asked for a better officiant to make it all happen. Cecilia is a wonderful woman, very professional but has a way of adding personalized touches to the moment that made us feel as though we already knew her before we officially met her on the day. Thank you for making our day so much more than we could have imagined. Cheers, Lauren and Shelby April 2020

Cecilia Penner went above and beyond for our ceremony. She did not "meet" our expectations; she well surpassed them! She met with us multiple times, sent many options for the base of our ceremony, and personalized the ceremony to match our personalities and our relationship. She was grounding in our planning, always happy to help, and patient but persistent with my husband when he didn't send his vows in until mere days before the ceremony. She worked with us to create a ceremony that was deeply personal, wildly sentimental.T hank you for making this such an incredible experience. Casey & Molly September 2019

We were so very glad to have Cecilia Penner as our Wedding Officiant. Prior to contacting Cecelia, we had very little idea or comfort with planning the ceremony. Cecelia was helpful, understanding, and gave us many ideas to consider for the procession and ceremony. She helped us assemble a beautiful ceremony. With Cecelia, the ceremony proceeded as smoothly as we could have imagined. From the very beginning, she took care of the details for us, and we were able to focus on other aspects of our wedding.

Cecilia Penner presided over our wedding and made an exceptional impression on both of us, as well as our guests. From the outset she exuded a warmth and welcome that made it easy to share with her our desires for the day. She took the time to help us include intimate details about our life and relationship within the script for our ceremony. At no point did it feel like Cecilia was simply doing her job, instead it was clear that she aimed to play a memorable part in our celebrations. By far, what sets her apart is her eloquence and ability to design and deliver memorable remarks throughout the ceremony. I cannot imagine our wedding without her, and am confident that others will have a similar experience. Natalie & Lisa Sept 2018

Cecilia Penner was amazing. She was available last minute the morning of the rehearsal and she said she would be happy to fill in. With less than a day's notice, she lead the rehearsal and the ceremony with such amazing poise and grace that I knew the universe had done me a favor by putting us in her hands. She saved my nerves and our wedding in my eyes. I will be forever grateful to her and the love she showed us on our special day. Matthew & Allyson Oct 2018
