Julie Charland was incredible! Her experience and compassion made the planning and execution of the ceremony very straight forward and stress-free!

Excellent job. It was a pleasure having Julie Charland officiate our wedding. She was so thorough in the process and very accommodating to our preferences and requests. 10 out of 10. September 2024
Julie Charland was an outstanding person to work with from the very first meeting all the way through the process and the wedding ceremony itself. She is personable, professional, friendly, and has a warm and engaging personality. She also added humour into our discussions at times, which served to put us completely at ease. On the day of our wedding, Julie was all smiles and full of positive energy, which we so appreciated! It put us at ease so that we could be in the moment and fully enjoy the ceremony. We feel very fortunate and privileged that she was our officiant. Thank you, Julie! from Karen & Michael. July 2024
After eloping to New Orleans, we needed to “remarry” in Ontario, and neither of us were happy about it. When we contacted Julie Charland, she was so kind, knowledgeable, and understanding. With her help, we had a very informal moment at home on April Fools Day (as not to take away from our New Orleans marriage), where she did what she needed to do to make our marriage legal in Ontario. She went above and beyond to accommodate us. I can’t recommend her enough. Professional and personable, she is top-notch. April 2024
It was very easy & fast booking. Everything came together smoothly. We met Julie for the first time and she's a sweetheart of a lady. November 2023
Julie Charland was a wonderful officiant for our wedding. She was well organized, thoughtful, and full of knowledge to make sure our wedding day was perfect. Having a bilingual ceremony was important to us, and Julie delivered. September 2023
We chose Julie Charland as our officiant and we could not have asked for a smoother experience. Julie is highly organized, passionate about her clients, and always quick to respond to any questions along the way. She was able to incorporate text in English, French, and even a few phrases of another language to make some of our guests feel more engaged in the ceremony. Her positive energy and friendly personality made the experience a true pleasure. Thank you / merci, Julie! August 2023

October 2023
From day one, I could not have asked for a better officiant. Julie Charland was always available for support. She listened closely to our needs and was responsive. She has a great sense of humor to break the ice, as getting married is a very nerve wracking-event! Thank you again for everything, Julie. July 2023
We had a great experience with Julie Charland. She guided us through the process and made the ceremony planning stress-free. She was receptive to our wishes for our celebration and provided us with great suggestions. Our ceremony was bilingual (French and English), and the mix of languages was seamless. She was very thoughtful and showed up early to our ceremony to greet our guests. The ceremony was simple and beautiful, just the way we wanted. We would highly recommend her to anyone planning their big day! October 2023
Julie avait les textes préparés pour nous soulager du stress de tous les petits détails. C'était parfait.

Julie was amazing throughout the whole process- right from the 1st email, to our phone call, meeting and finally ceremony. She was always friendly, accommodating and helpful. She made the process fun, with no stress. She kept us on track and consistently offered really good advice. Julie was warm and funny, yet professional. We’d 100% recommend her! August 2023
Julie Charland was amazing! She communicates everything clearly and effectively leading up to the wedding. She also was fantastic at answering all of our questions. On our special day, she delivered the ceremony with grace and professionalism. We were so lucky to be married by her. Julie était incroyable! Elle communique clairement et efficacement. Elle a répondu à toutes nos questions concernant le mariage, les documents nécessaires et toutes les autres choses. Sa patience et son empathie démontrées durant ces réponses étaient vraiment appréciées. Elle a créé et présenté une cérémonie incroyable. Nous sommes très chanceux d'avoir eu l'occasion d'être mariés par Julie. July 2023
From the get-go, Julie Charland was great. Her communication style is very easy-going. She always provided great suggestions, and was quick to get in touch with us every step of the way. She suggested we do a sand unity ceremony because we were blending our two families (and 5 kids!). It was a beautiful part of our wedding, and left many people teary-eyed and had our children participate in a meaningful way. Because both my husband and I come from different cultures, it was important for us to incorporate elements of both cultures during our ceremony. Julie was quick to suggest that she say a few words in his native language (Arabic) which was very much appreciated by our Arabic-speaking guests. She was always on board when we suggested different elements to include during the ceremony. It shows that Julie put a lot of effort in her words as they were so well-thought out and written for us. We highly recommend Julie as an officiant. September 2023
We really enjoyed working with Julie Charland! She went above and beyond our expectations. She took the time to meet with us virtually approximately a year before our wedding. She walked through all the steps of the process and what to expect. She took the time to ask questions and presented us with different ceremony options that were catered to the vision for our special day. It was very important to us that our children be involved in the ceremony. As a blended family, we wanted to celebrate both families joining together and becoming one. Julie was very accommodating and adapted the ceremony to meet our wishes. She performed a beautiful sand ceremony that will be a memory we cherish forever. We especially appreciated her taking the time to meet with us a few weeks before the wedding to go through the entire ceremony. She took the time to get to know us as a couple. It put us at ease to know what to expect and to know that Julie knew our wants and wishes for our wedding day. Julie was very professional, welcoming, warm and personable. She was so easy to work with! We loved every minute of our experience and we highly recommend Julie! August 2023

First of all, thank you so much Julie for officiating our wedding in August. Julie didn’t only provide services that were asked in paper, but went above and beyond to provide additional services to meet our needs at her personal cost.

Julie Charland was fantastic. She helped us make sure that we had all the required documentation for the day. She provided us with the option to choose from different ceremony types (simple or traditional). Once we expressed that we wanted a simple ceremony, she provided us with guidance on what to include and what not to include in our bilingual ceremony. She was very helpful every step of the way and she spoke beautifully at the ceremony. Overall we were very pleased with Julie and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant.

We are so thankful to have found Julie Charland to be our officiant. She was the perfect fit for our family dynamic. She was so informative about the process and really went out of her way to make us and our day feel so special. She brought so many amazing ideas to the table to create a wholesome day. Her greatest idea was to include the sand ceremony. We are a blended family and it was a great way for all the kids to be included in the ceremony. So not only did we intertwine our lives but also the lives of our children. She is by far the most prepared for every situation you could throw at her. Our day would not have been as perfect without her. Oct 2022
Julie Charland made our wedding such a relaxing and reassuring day. She was the calm head we needed during such a hectic day.

Julie Charland was wonderful! We wanted our wedding to be simple and no stress and we could not have chosen a better officiant! Julie was organized, professional, kind and understanding. Our first phone call with Julie put our minds at ease that the ceremony would be lovely, Julie has an easy going personality and had very helpful tips that some people may not think of - like not giving your real rings to your toddler ring bearer! The ceremony was exactly what we wanted, after just one phone call conversation, Julie was able to give us the perfect ceremony. We would highly recommend Julie to anyone planning a wedding!

Julie Charland was a super professional and understanding officiant. My partner and I were eloping so we had specific requirements that Julie was more than happy to accommodate. At short notice she was able to organise a witness for us, when the person we had intended couldn’t make it. Would recommend Julie to anyone and can’t thank her enough. Sept 2022
Julie Charland was beyond amazing!!! We were so blessed to have her represent us for our wedding!! She even matched with us which we found over the top impressive..
