n elopement. She worked with us via email and Zoom (because we are based in Canada) over the course of the year to plan our perfect ceremony. She arrived on time, and performed the ceremony exactly as we hoped. She is a lovely person and we're honoured to have had her perform our ceremony.

ad to say "yes!". The ceremony itself, written by Irene, was magical, profound, and succinct. Many of our guests commented on the officiant and how her service was unique and well-crafted. Thank you, Irene! You are the best Officiant!
Irene is an amazing soul! She officiated our wedding in October 2021 and my husband and I couldn't be happier. We felt her custom-tailored ceremony that captured our spiritual path...
, which is the foundation of our love for each other, was the icing on the cake. We adore her, and wholeheartedly believe our ceremony wouldn't have been the same without her. Five stars aren't enough! <3
Irene is just fantastic! She is absolutely wonderful to work with, full of positive energy and has the nicest, most well thought out words. I cannot express how many people came up...

the ceremony easy and enjoyable. Our ceremony felt special and deeply authentic to us and our relationship. It was an absolute joy to work with Irene.
she was amazing to work with any questions I had she took care of.
We live in California but had been planning an intimate ceremony in the desert outside Tucson for over a year. Coronavirus had other plans. We had to cancel our original date and I...
rene was completely flexible about rescheduling for the Fall. But then when restrictions relaxed a bit we decided rather spontaneously to get married just three weeks after the day we had planned. So I basically replanned our wedding in 6 days which is why it was so great that Irene was flexible and willing to jump back on board as our officiant on such short notice. Irene was the first officiant to respond of a few officiants we reached out to and communicating with her was always easy and efficient from that point either via phone or email. She actually worked to get to know us as a couple to personalize something for us. She had sent us lots of samples for our ceremony for us to pick and choose from months before and she helped us plan a ceremony that was totally our style and thought of every detail. The result was a sacred, special union that was as unique as our relationship (and of course COVID-19 friendly). I couldn't picture having anyone else marry us. Irene is a treasure who you can tell truly understands the meaning of love.
Until you meet Irene in person it is hard to understand the level of commitment, focus, preparation, depth of understanding and beautiful articulation she brings to a most sacred...
commitment between two people in a union such as marriage. Not all wedding officiants, ministers, are alike. Irene is a good listener and with your participation, as much or as little as you like, will create a wedding with the vows that are are not only for the memory books but will live on in your marriage. The value that Irene brings as a professional and a person of high integrity shines through down to the smallest of details. No matter the size of your wedding from an intimate gathering to a large celebration Irene gives her all! We were so happy to have her assist us in our wedding celebration!
Minister Irene was wonderful, she catered to our intimate private nuptials with the same gravity and consideration as if it was a huge wedding event. She helped to make our weddin...

We created our own unique ceremony using excerpts from many of her various offerings. It was BEAUTIFUL beyond all our expectations! Several of our guests commented on how it was the MOST beautiful ceremony they had ever witnessed. Thank you, Irene!
Ms. Swain met with us and was very professional and offered some great suggestions from her long history of officiating wedding ceremonies. She gave us words to a ceremony that she...
uses and allowed us to tailor it to our ceremony. She arrived in plenty of time beforehand so that we could do a little rehearsal. She was very sincere and genuine when she officiated the ceremony. She also has this million dollar smile that lights up the room. Attendees were touched by the very personal and warm and touching ceremony performed by Irene. I would not hesitate to highly recommend her for your wedding. I cannot remember what we paid for the ceremony but thought it was very reasonable.
Irene was an unbelievably professional officiant. She was very easy to work with and very timely. We like her from the moment we first met with her. She has a great personality as ...
well as a great understanding of what we were wanted from our ceremony.
I want to make sure that this review stresses what a wonderful of a job she did with our ceremony - especially since my husband wrote the ceremony. He was worried that, because it was not her original work, she might stumble a bit with it - but he happily admits he was wrong to think it. She read through it so smoothly, you would have thought she had written it herself. She inflected perfectly. We really enjoyed working with her. Highly recommend!
You go to many weddings and the ceremony is just something that you sit through to be supportive but it's not very engaging or compatible with your beliefs. Irene is different. The...
language she uses is beautiful and she will tailor it to fit your personalities. I got many comments on how great the ceremony was (and that's not a common compliment!)
