Get Started

I didn’t fall in love with you. I walked into love with you, with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe that we are only fated to do the things that we’d choose anyway. And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.

Tamara did an outstanding job ensuring our ceremony went smoothly and that it resonated with the relationship that my now Husband and I have. She gave us many readings to choose from which allowed us to choose a couple that aligned with our values (one that I was so touched by, I think I'll remember it for the rest of my life). She also helped each of us write our own personal vows to each other. We had a beautiful and personal ceremony and Tamara's words felt very genuine. She is very organized and gave us many useful tips and details during our rehearsal that helped the actual ceremony run seamlessly. The one thing that I really remember, is when I was overwhelmed with emotion walking in as the bride, I thought of what Tamara told me on the day of the rehearsal - take your time, this helped me focus on the moment and cherish it. As a bonus, even when the Groom forgot to place bubble blowers on all the chairs during the ceremony set up, I was told later that Tamara remembered about the bubbles, and hence, saved that part of our ceremony! Tamara is also efficient with communication, any questions I had were promptly answered.

After communicating with 2 other officiants and having a gut feeling of “this doesn’t feel right” I reached out to Tamara and my husband and I strongly believe that is one of the best decisions we made for our special day. She was very easy to communicate with from the start and followed up with reminders all throughout, she gave detailed responses to my queries and she chose the perfect outdoor venue for our elopement ceremony. She made sure our guests felt welcomed and we had a lovely and unforgettable ceremony all thanks to her. We cannot thank you enough for creating that core memory for us Tamara!

We were fortunate enough to book Tamara for our wedding. Her communication in the lead up to our wedding was clear and structured (helping with vows and documentation required for the wedding). She gladly met us virtually to answer our questions and was amazing on the day of the wedding. She has a calming presence and aura which helped ease wedding day nerves and was an amazing part of our ceremony. Would highly recommend Tamara for anyone looking for an officiant!

Tamara Jones did an AWESOME job being the officiant at our wedding for 70 people in mid-August this year. I would 100% recommend her. She made the ceremony so inviting, warm, and welcoming, and all our guests commented at how nice the ceremony was. I almost want to get married to my partner a second time to have the ceremony again, lol! 🙂 I highly recommend Tamara!
