This website is all about helping you take full control over how your ceremony can be designed to reflect your personalities and styles. As Ottawa professional wedding officiants, we (Lynne & Keith) will guide you as to how all of the elements that you want in your ceremony can be seamlessly woven together and leave your guests awestruck by your boldness and innovation.

A wedding ceremony is really intended to be an intense expression of emotions and feelings. We know how to help you harness all of the energy surrounding the charged atmosphere of the event so that you can the kind of impact that you've wanted. Moreover, we will help you display the calm poise that projects confidence in your every move during the ceremony.

Our objective is to have your guests complimenting you after the ceremony on how wonderfully personalized and refreshing your wedding ceremony was, compared to the many traditional wedding services that they have endured in the past. When that happens, you'll know that you've satisfied the needs of your guests. And when they're happy, you'll be even happier!

The following 3 paragraphs were copied from comments on an Internet wedding board site. They were written by a married woman looking back on her wedding day. She posted these thoughts as a way of advising soon to be wedded couples. The ideas expressed here are so in-tune with our own thoughts, and we can't think of a better way to say what she said. So here they are:

"… a very well-regarded wedding photographer, very smartly says there are only two kinds of weddings, regardless of size, budget, location, style, or anything else: fun weddings and stressful weddings. Aim to make yours fun and the rest will fall into place."

"You're in charge. Not the wedding industry. I'm so tired of brides asking 'Can I do this?' or 'Would it be ok if I did this?' When it comes to your wedding, YOU are the ultimate authority, not Martha Stewart, and not a chorus of anonymous women on the Internet. Of course there are protocols to help guide you, but that's all they are: guidelines, not legal doctrines written in stone. Don't be afraid to deviate from them and follow your gut. The only way to make your wedding truly memorable is to make it truly yours, not to make it a carbon copy of every other bride's."

"Don't let the reception planning overshadow your ceremony planning. It's really what the day is about. And besides, nothing puts guests in a better mood to party than witnessing a meaningful and personal wedding ceremony. I remember a very, very fancy, over-the top, country club wedding that must have cost $100,000. But they had an incredibly mediocre, 'insert-bride –and-groom here' kind of ceremony. And to be honest, when I think back on that wedding, what I remember most is the crappy ceremony, not the vodka shot bar."

Now this is important: During the wedding, the more true to yourselves that you are, the happier you will be with the wedding ceremony . . . for both yourselves and your guests. If you're funny people, be funny. If you're dazzlingly beautiful, show off. If your focus is on friends &/or family, then bring them into your ceremony, either by mentioning them or in having them participate in the ceremony.

Tell us who you are, what you've done, how you met, and what is happening in your lives. We will create a script of the ceremony, and then perform it with you. These things change an impersonal, otherwise meaningless set of words and actions into a rite of passage that moves you ... both emotionally and personally, into the next phase of your lives.

What are you like on a daily basis? What do you really want said and done on your wedding day? How do you want to express what you feel towards your beloved partner and friend? What feelings do you want conveyed to your guests: your family and friends?

These questions and others don't need immediate, verbal answers. We are here to help you to move from questions and possibilities to realities.

When you choose to work with us, we will present you with lots of alternatives and options. We will also encourage you to enter into this process by "brain-storming" … allowing all types of experiences and thoughts and research to move through your minds … like a wind blowing across a field, carrying with it things that it's picked-up. Some things will start to settle, and some will simply keep blowing away. For the best results, don't settle for what first appears. Wait for the winds to die down … and see what providence has brought your way.

If we could show and tell you how we could help you visualize and experience having the best wedding ceremony that you and your guests have ever been to in your lives, you would want, at least, to have a look, hear about it, and get a good feel for it, wouldn't you?

If this looks good, sounds great or gives you the feeling of control that you want for your wedding ceremony, then please contact us (613-831-7555 or inquire by email at Keith@ExceptionalCeremonies.com) so that we discuss and focus upon creating a unique, enjoyable ceremony that fits you like tailored made clothing.
