Kamla was exceptional and professional with helping us craft our vows and keeping our goals at the forefront. She really made the process easy and simple for us.
My favourite takeaway is her saying to take a deep breath right before starting the vows. It really made a huge difference and I felt I was able to be more present because of that quick pause. Something I hadn’t even thought about and am eternally grateful for!
My husband’s favourite takeaway is of the same notion. When he walked out during the precession, she was there to calm his nerves before everyone walked down the aisle! Again, something you wouldn’t think of but just such a lovely gesture from Kamla and shows she’s paying attention to how we’re feeling.
We were honoured to have Kamla be part of our wedding and wouldn’t have it any other way.
Her words were full of kindness and love.
Thank you again,
Aisha & Matthew
Lynnea spent quality time with us to understand and really feel into what we wanted. She helped us articulate our wishes for our ceremony and then to bring those wishes to life. I felt seen and heard and held by her in a way that made this very special day for us even more our own. Lynnea is a superstar.
Revered Brinkerhoff worked with us to cultivate the unique, meaningful wedding ceremony we had been dreaming of. She is uniquely spiritually connected and was able to synthesize some of our more abstract ideas into tangible components of our ceremony. If you have an idea for a ceremony that isn't fully fleshed out yet, Lynnea is the person to call! During the ceremony itself, she brought a wonderful love-filled energy that could be felt by us and everyone in our audience. She was also involved in other aspects of our wedding and helped us manage concerns we had and put our minds at ease for our big day. We highly recommend her!!
Lynnea was absolutely the best choice. She was very organized, took time to know both of us, created a ceremony that was specialized and intimate. All our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Grateful we choose Lynnea.
We would like to thank you Lynnea once again for being part of our magical wedding day in San Francisco at City Hall for our vow renewal. You were amazing and brought the light and love that we were looking for in our ceremony. We honestly can't thank you enough for the rose quartz heart. It made our day even more special with you placing that into our hands. :)
Our friends felt your positive energy and were touched by the way you presided over our ceremony. Truly grateful to you and we are so happy to have met you.
If anyone is looking for an awesome officiant, look no further. Lynnea was fantastic, helpful, positive and a joy to work with.
Rev. Lynnea was the best possible officiant we could've hoped for. We found her by accident online while doing research one day. She is warm, funny, dedicated, and very attuned to her clients. We connected with her early on in our planning process, and she was quick to get back to us always, and very helpful in answering all of our questions.
Over the course of many months, we met via Zoom many times, and Lynnea really spent time getting to know us. Based on a template she provided us with, we created our dream ceremony outline collaboratively. My husband and I had so many special requests and ideas and she accommodated every single one.
On the day of the wedding, Lynnea sat with me before the ceremony began, holding my hand and speaking very kind words as my nerves were getting the best of me. She was a wonderful presence to have around during both the special and stressful moments!
Our ceremony itself was magical. To this day, we still hear compliments from our guests about how great of a speaker and officiant Rev. Lynnea was on our big day. We managed to fit so much in the space of a 30-minute ceremony, and we even engaged with our guests during the ceremony! Neither my spouse or I have very defined spiritual practices, and we wanted to mix many pieces of our heritages, traditions, and cultures, and the final product was absolutely beautiful, heartwarming, and made most of our guests tear up. Specifically, many told us this was one of the most unique and beautiful ceremonies they had witnessed. This was all thanks to Lynnea's attentiveness and dedication to creating the spiritual space we wanted on our wedding day.
For any of our future big life moments, Rev. Lynnea will remain the first person I think of. We are so grateful she was a part of this time of our lives.
Rev Lynnea was such a fantastic choice. I don't like sounding cheesy, but she was the perfect fit for our ceremony. The first thing I told her was that we had "great vibes" from the first message she sent. She communicated quickly and laid out her general plan from how things traditionally work but made sure to include OR remove anything we didn't want in our ceremony. Afterall, this was for my wife and I; Lynnea understands that most of all and caters to the moment. Because cookie cutter wasn't what we wanted, she helped us create what we had envisioned for us. She does provide a lot from her experience and can make sure you have every moment you want; she was open to everything.
If you want someone that is willing to listen to you and help guide you with a fun, jovial manner, Lynnea is definitely the officiant to choose. She made everything easy and fun. Our photographer even mentioned how great she was; she just gives a special feeling to all involved for the occasion.
I cannot say enough great things about Lynnea. She has a beautiful soul and such positive energy. My husband and I were scrambling to find someone we felt comfortable with because a family friend wasn't able to officiate last minute. We are so grateful we found Lynnea! She made even my very shy, reserved husband open up. By our third (virtual) meeting, our ceremony was written, practiced, and perfect. She listened to what we did and didn't want, and suggested so many great ideas that made the ceremony extra special - things we didn't have time to think about. Our big day exceeded our expectations, and our families. We couldn't be more thankful that Lynnea shared such a special day with us.
Lynnea did a wonderful job celebrating our wedding. She made us feel comfortable throughout the preparation and came up with creative suggestions to make our guests participate to the ceremony. She also gathered a lot of information ahead of time to make it feel very personal.
Lynnea has a natural charisma and was able to keep our guests’ attention despite very noisy kids running around. We deeply appreciated her happy demeanor and professionalism and could not be more satisfied with her work. We received only positive feedback. Our wedding felt very intimate and moving and we have to thank Lynnea for it. I could not recommend her enough…
Lynnea was wonderful. She was great to deal with pre, during and post phases of the wedding. We did something simple and private, and she happy to accommodate all our requests or make suggestions. We liked her energy and professionalism throughout. I would recommend her to others. Thanks again!
We wanted our ceremony to feel magical. Lynnea did everything possible to make that happen for us and it was the most magical day ever!! 10/10 stars just isn’t enough.
