Shelley Rivier, MSW
Love for many is embodied in the commitment made in a wedding. There are few things more meaningful than the wedding ceremony reflecting the love you share. I would be honoured to officiate your wedding. I would love to help you integrate into the ceremony any meaningful customs to you to realise your vision, because a wedding should be about you and your partner. I can read simple Hebrew and am familiar with some Jewish customs celebrated in a ceremony.

We were so lucky to have Shelley Rivier as our wedding officiant. She did an absolutely beautiful job on our special day! She is kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony meaningful and personal. Shelley brought such a calm and joyful energy, and her words truly captured the love we share. So many of our guests commented on how touching and well-crafted the ceremony was. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Thank you, Shelley, for helping to make our wedding so unforgettable!

Shelley Rivier was an incredible officiant! She was patient throughout the entire process and made sure we felt confident & prepared for the big day. She was flexible with our needs and happily accommodated everything we asked for. She made sure all of our paperwork was correct, that we knew exactly where to sign, and even let us know in advance what she would be wearing to ensure everything fit the overall look of the day. Her soothing and comforting voice helped bring a calm presence to the ceremony, which made the moment even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through such an important moment. Sept 2024

We had the great pleasure of being married by Shelley on the 29th of February, also known as Leap Year Day. As a couple with particular desires for an informal though intimate and modern wedding ceremony we were in awe of Shelley's adaptability, and willingness to ensure our wedding day was a day we would forever remember with fondness! Without little to no direction, Shelley crafted a beautiful, and concise speech that not only respected our contemporary wishes, but included thoughtful nods to our respective cultures. Shelley went above and beyond our expectations to conduct the perfect marriage ceremony. We were greatly impressed with Shelley's ability to subtly analyze our personalities, and read between the lines to truly understand what it was that we sought. Shelley's compassion and dedication to her clients and their needs, whatever they may require, render her services to be more than just the typical duties completed by an officiant; rather it truly feels Shelley has a personal investment in your ceremony and your marriage. A million thank you's Shelley for making our wedding day an amazing success!! Jean-Guy & Yadgar February 2020
