Susan Veale, BSc (Waterloo)
When it comes to your wedding, it’s all about the two of you! I have dedicated my career to helping people. Living life well is my credo and as a wellness practitioner, my life involves fitness as a Pilates and Senior Fitness Instructor, meditation as a Mindfulness Meditation teacher and healthy lifestyle choices. My husband and I call Calabogie home sharing our lives with our children and grandchildren. When I am not in my garden tending herbs and flowers, my summer hobbies include golf and tennis. Winter hobbies are curling and snowshoeing. I’ve done some fun wedding events including a gentle stretch and release with a mediation time for a whole bridal party the morning of the wedding. I’ve hiked mountains, stood in water, baked in hayfields, traversed golf courses and have been immersed in backyard gardens. I’m here to help you fulfil your special wedding ceremony. I’m mindful, sincere and have a sense of humour, and I would be delighted to pronounce you married!

Susan Veale did an amazing job and made everything easy and not stressful. She did an amazing job and we were very happy to have her part of our day. September 2024
Susan was a wonderful asset on our big day! She was very organized, had a lot of suggestions and examples. She is very experienced and so much fun to work with. Our dress rehearsal went perfectly with all her tips and tricks and organization, it all felt very natural. Our wedding party was very grateful to have Susan as no one felt they didn’t know what was going on. Susan was very professional and very personal all at the same time. Our ceremony was very much our style, which made for a perfect day! My husband and I very much appreciated having someone like Susan officiate our special day! We would 100% recommend her to any and all our friends and family who require her services. It was a 10/10 ceremony! Also, we wanted thank All Seasons Weddings for having such and easy site to navigate and putting us in touch with Susan! September 2023
When our church wedding plans fell through. Rev. Susan Veale became our saving grace, helping us get back on track and focused on our marriage, Susan knew exactly what to say in this time of worry. With Susan’s guidance and flexibility, we pivoted and were able to choose a new location and plan a new ceremony. During the ceremony, my husband and I were filled with tears of joy, but Susan was calm and had us take a breath, reminding us to enjoy the moment. Swept up quickly into the night's celebrations, we could hardly remember the spoken words, but our family reminded us how beautiful and meaningful they were. Now that we are settled back home and have a sense of calm back in our lives, we can better appreciate Susan’s words about how God plays a role in our marriage and can take genuine time to reflect on how the vows we made will keep us strong through both the good times and the hard times. With the greatest respect and appreciation, Zach and Natalie Bidgood
We are incredibly grateful for the role Susan Veale played in our big day! Our dream was to elope at the stunning Eagle's Nest Lookout, and we were thrilled when Susan not only agreed, but also offered to hike up with us to officiate the ceremony. From our first interaction, Susan impressed us with her organization and thoughtfulness. She even arranged for a witness to join us for the ceremony, ensuring everything went smoothly. Susan was professional, well-prepared, and customized the ceremony so beautifully for us. Her words were heartfelt and meaningful, making our moment atop the lookout truly unforgettable. We couldn't have chosen a better officiant for our elopement. Susan exceeded our expectations in every way possible, and we can't recommend her enough! Thank you Susan! May 2024
We made the easy choice of choosing Susan Veale as our wedding officiant, not only because she's my best friend's mom, but because I know how amazing she is and how she puts everything into her work! She was extremely organized and thought of all the little things that passed by me. She added cute little testaments into her speech at our alter that made everyone smile and giggle. She was extremely thorough and considerate of what we wanted. I can't recommend Susan enough. August 2023
