Francine (Frankie) Charbonneau
Originally from a small northern Ontario town, I've called Ottawa home for over 25 years. With professional roots in writing and public speaking, I'm passionate about storytelling and human connection. Friends describe me as warm, joyful, quick-witted, and intuitive -- qualities I bring to every ceremony. I'm also cool as a cucumber in unexpected situations. As a bilingual Designated Minister with Clergy Support Memorial Church, I embrace all love stories and draw wisdom from diverse faiths, cultures, and traditions. I celebrate and support the 2SLGBTQI+ community. When not officiating, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, puzzling, camping, reading by a babbling brook, sipping wine, and watching football or F1 racing.
Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or grand celebration, I'd be honoured to help you create a wedding celebration that's wonderfully and authentically you!

Reviews
Frankie Charbonneau was a wonderful officiant; we were so happy to have chosen her to officiate our small and intimate ceremony. Coming from a blended family herself, she brought a personal touch of understanding to our celebration; her words were perfect for our family, and she made our intimate moment feel that much more special. Leading up to the wedding, Frankie was very responsive and helpful, even providing ideas and suggestions for locations. She ensured we had all the information required, and everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding. Her passion and care was very evident. We'd happily recommend Frankie's services to anyone.
