The Ceremony We Always Wanted

Joanne was fantastic to work with. My wife and I felt that she would be the one to give us a memorable wedding ceremony and she did exactly that. From our first consolation, Joanne took the time to get to know us as a couple. She had such a positive vibe and that resonated throughout the entire process, specifically on our wedding day. She helped us have the ceremony we always wanted that was unique to us. We had multiple guests come to us on our wedding night saying her ceremony was the best and most personable ceremony they have ever attended.

Wonderful Experience

Joanne made our wedding day ceremony so, so beautiful. She really takes her time to get to know you as a couple and it shows in her ceremony script. She is responsive and would get back to you in a short amount of time to answer your questions! The Keepsake ceremony script she makes for you is so lovely and we really had a great time with her on the day of our wedding. Thank you, Joanne

Personal, with an Extra Touch

We loved working with Joanne, and especially during COVID, she was very easy to connect with. The personal story for our ceremony was everything, and we had no concerns on how things would go as she had everything under control. I am very pleased with the extra touches and couldn't recommend her more!

Elopement at Emerald Lake!

Joanne couldn’t have been more accommodating and incredible for our elopement to Emerald Lake, British Columbia. She was a wonderful officiant for our ceremony, and catered a wonderful story surrounding our time together, culminating in a beautiful ceremony. It was something we will remember for the rest of our lives together, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be our officiant. It genuinely felt as if we had known her for years prior. We are so happy with our decision to pick Joanne!

An Excellent Fit

Joanne was an excellent fit as the officiant for our wedding. She offers many types of ceremonies, from religious to non, and it’s obvious once you meet her, she has a lot of experience to draw on. The meet and greet was very helpful, especially for those with little past experience at weddings. Joanne was able to walk us through options and create a ceremony to fit us incredibly well, personalizing it with our own story. She was organized during the rehearsal and on the day of. Our guests had many wonderful things to say about how enjoyable the ceremony was. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience with Joanne’s help, and could not have written a better ceremony. I would 100% recommend Joanne for any type of wedding ceremony - she makes it seem easy.

We love Joanne!!

Joanne was very attentive to detail from start to finish in creating a ceremony script that was unique to us. She was responsive to the feedback we had and ensured we were happy with the outcome before proceeding. We could not have asked for a better officiant. The icing on the cake was the Keepsake script of our ceremony she made for us. It’s so awesome as we get to go over elements of the ceremony with each other.

The Perfect COVID Wedding

Joanne was great in personalizing our experience! With COVID in AB constantly changing the rules and restrictions, we were able to meet via teams/Skype to amend our plans on the fly over a few months. She also took the time to get to know us and find out our story to share with our guests. Joanne helped make our ceremony perfect and helped us get all the little details just right before the big day. Even though it was a blistering 33 degrees, she was 100% there with us and happy to share our day alongside our few family and friends that could attend.

Super Accommodating!

We highly recommend Joanne, she was very understanding and accommodating regarding uncertainty with COVID restrictions. Between planning a wedding and buying a house my husband and I were very scatter-brained. Joanne was capable of reeling us back in and gently reminding us to focus on what needed to happen and when, so as to be prepared for our ceremony. The ceremony script Joanne put together was very thoughtful and emotional; there was not a dry eye in the house when we were through. Thanks again Joanne!

Joanne is Amazing

Joanne from Circles and Ceremonies was amazing. The whole ceremony was way beyond our expectations. We had so many unexpected changes during COVID that we decided to just do something simple and quiet. Joanne really got to know us and put a special touch on the ceremony. What started out as a simple wedding turned into something truly beautiful. From our Keepsake script from the ceremony to helping us with pictures and witnesses. She made each of us comfortable with her friendly down to earth mannerisms. We would recommend Joanne to everyone..... and we have :) Thank you so much Joanne.

Absolutely Perfect!

Joanne was amazing through the whole experience. She was very quick to respond and had wonderful ideas to make our ceremony unique. I think she went above and beyond and completely exceeded our expectations. Both of our families loved the ceremony and they just loved her. She was super professional and we would highly recommend to anyone needing a public speaker for any celebration or event. I know if we need another public speaker for anything, it will be Joanne.
