I just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for the beautiful ceremony yesterday! I received many compliments on how you performed the ceremony, especially the moment when you asked everyone to take a breath and truly take it all in. August 2024
We recently had the pleasure of working with Roberta Bedard for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we met her, it felt like we had known her forever. She made both my husband and me feel completely at ease throughout the entire planning process. Living in another province could have made planning challenging, but Roberta effortlessly accommodated our time schedule, even with the different time zones. What truly stood out was her commitment to making our day unique and special. She took the time to learn our love story, listened to our vision for the day, and provided her professional insights when we were unsure. From our first phone call to the pre-planning and script writing, Roberta collaborated and communicated effectively every step of the way. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine passion for her role exceeded our expectations in every way. Even during our ceremony, when we were suddenly caught in a downpour, she remained calm, reassuring, and adaptable, ensuring everything went smoothly. If you’re looking for an officiant who will go the extra mile to make your ceremony perfect, Roberta is the one. Thank you, Roberta, for being such a vital part of our special day! August 2024
Thank you so much! The ceremony was wonderful, and we absolutely loved your touch and energy! August 2024
There are not enough words to express our gratitude to Roberta Bedard for officiating our wedding on top of the hill overlooking the farm property of my husband’s parents in Powassan. Roberta followed our personalized readings, marriage scriptures and unity ceremony despite stepping in at the last moment. We spoke the night before the wedding and she made sure there was nothing to worry about and made it clear that she would do her best for every important detail of our ceremony. Roberta respected my concerns and beliefs without hesitation She was our angel. She’s a down-to-earth officiant, very cool, and made us laugh. Thank you so much and may God bless you more! August 2024

The process of finding an officiant through All Seasons was extremely easy, which is great when you’re so focused on planning everything else! I really enjoyed how personalized Roberta made the ceremony. Everything was amazing! Thank you so much! November 2023
We would like to thank Roberta Bedard for being our lovely officiant. Right from the beginning, Roberta’s kind and friendly demeanour was evident. We met with Roberta to review the details of our ceremony. Roberta was very thorough and was able to cover all the key points we wanted (and didn’t want) included in our ceremony. She spent time getting to know us as a couple and was able to reflect on our love and include aspects of ‘us’ into our ceremony. Roberta did a wonderful job of making our ceremony an emotional and memorable celebration. We are so grateful she could be such a significant part of our day. Thank you so much Roberta.

With her kind personality, and good sense of humor, we were instantly comfortable.

Words cannot begin to describe the experience we had with Roberta, we had so many people come up to us after the ceremony and compliment the officiant we had. We could not have imagined the day without Roberta's help. September 2023

Roberta Bedard was great to deal with. She made my wife completely at ease during the whole process, which isn't easy to do. October 2022
We are more than lucky to have had Roberta as our officiant. She made our day so special. For loving everything about our ceremony and us. Our day would not have been the same without her. She made sure that our ceremony reflected who we were, and how our people saw us as a couple. She made us feel comfortable and made the ceremony process a breeze. She made sure to make sure the ceremony was about US, from simple little things of moving out of the way when the focus was on us talking and everything. It was the little things that mattered. November 2022
Having Roberta Bedard as our officiant made our special day absolutely perfect. She took the time before our day to meet us and hear our story. She listened during our conversations and built our story into our ceremony making it very personal for us and our families. Roberta worked with us on everything from our vows to the actual ceremony. She performed our ceremony in French and English as we had family members that did not speak English so they were very happy to be brought into the ceremony. I cannot say enough about the care and attention Roberta gave us and our guests and her level of personalization and professionalism she displayed during our ceremony. We are grateful to have had her a part of our special day. August 2022
James and I chose Roberta to officiate our wedding ceremony. Roberta was a dream to work with throughout the whole process, she really made the wedding planning experience quite simple when it came to our ceremony. We are not the best writers or script makers, so we needed all the help we could get when completing our ceremony script to capture who we both are as a couple. Roberta helped us create a ceremony that was special to us and made our wedding day extraordinary. She was collaborative and supportive to our friends and family, she thanked everyone for their help with the ceremony afterwards and we thought that was very kind. We highly suggest having Roberta as your wedding officiant as she goes above and beyond to meet your needs before and on your wedding day. Thank you so much, Roberta. You really helped make our day "one of a kind." , August 2022.
Roberta Bedard went over and beyond to meet our expectations. She met with us prior to our day to review the ceremony and to make any changes we wanted. She was patient, kind, thoughtful, friendly and professional. July 2022
Having Roberta Bedard as our officiant made the day all the more special. She was very professional and had a wonderful speaking voice (and was very well dressed!). From video chats to phone calls, to emails, she was very responsive and so helpful in planning our ceremony, to make sure that it was special for us. Just speaking with her makes you feel excited about this special time in your life. She puts in extra time to make suggestions, look into your questions, and make sure the ceremony is just how you envisioned. Many thanks to Roberta! July 2022

A big thank you to Roberta Bedard for making our special day so perfect..she was amazing and very personable so happy how everything turned out..so great even when it started to rain I would highly recommend as Robertas personality totally shines in a wonderful way. October 2021
Roberta (Bedard), Marissa and I just wanted to say thank you so much for conducting a very memorable wedding ceremony for us. There were many tears of joy shed by us and family. You captured our love for each other beautifully and took the time to get to know us. It showed. We will definitely recommend you to others. Marissa & Angelina Oct 2021
Mike and I got married on August 7th, 2021 and we were very blessed with Roberta Bedard to marry us. From the first time we spoke with her on the phone without even knowing her, she was a charming person, sweet, relaxed, giving me options that I loved, she answered all our questions, and brought us all the forms we needed. But the most wonderful thing for us was the day of the ceremony, my family in Mexico told me that it was sensational, emotional, entertaining and very sensitive since she gave me the option to say words to the family that could not attend due to the closed borders . We feel like she is a part of our family, she is sensational, professional and knows what she’s doing!! I will always recommend her. We love you Roberta!! Mike & Denisse, August 2021
Using this service was quite easy to find someone in such a remote area. Because my daughter's wedding was canceled twice due to covid we decided to just do it while on vacation at our friend's cottage as we love the area. They were also wanting to get married in front of the lake outdoors. Roberta Bedard was so understanding of this that she said hey I am only 45 minutes away I can be flexible if it rains we can work day and time around it. She kept her word. We knew it was going to rain at 5 that day so she got ready quickly and got there for 3pm and we beat the rain. She was easy to work with and a friendly face that day. Thanks so much! Lynn June 2021
Roberta takes the time to get to know you and guide you, resulting in a special ceremony uniquely designed for you. However, she will not take over your day... she never forgets that this is your wedding. She is punctual and reliable and a problem solver. Roberta has poise and confidence when speaking, and her sense of humour and bubbly personality shine through. Gisele, April 2021
Roberta, you bring so much joy to the people around you. I can see why you choose this way to share your gifts with others. Chantal, April 2021
