I’ve done large fancy weddings in hotels, casual backyard ceremonies, sandy beachfront elopements and I’ve even canoed into a ceremony! The best thing about each of them is that they represented what the couple wanted.
I’d love to work with you to help create a ceremony you love. Have no idea what you want? No problem! Know exactly what you’d like? Speak right up. I’m listening.
I will be professional and calm (because most people are a bit nervous in front of everyone). Whether you want a light-hearted and fun ceremony or something more romantic and serious, I’m happy to create what you desire. I’d say my natural style is professional with a side of humor. You’ll be confident I know what I’m doing but I won’t steal the show.
Choosing a wedding officiant is a big deal! We’ve all been to the long boring ceremony where the officiant reads the same script and clearly doesn’t know the couple. But I want to hear your story, what makes you tick and what your hopes are for your wedding ceremony.
I’d love to get together for a chat and make sure you get all your questions answered. Mainly, I want you to feel totally comfortable walking down the aisle toward me!
Jane's Story
I did my first wedding for two friends in 2002, followed by a myriad of cousins’ weddings and a few weddings for friends from my swim team.
When I first joined Young Hip and Married in 2013, I wasn’t sure if I would like doing weddings for ‘strangers.’ But it didn’t take long (one wedding!) for me to realize I love it. Not to mention, by the time we are done planning a wedding ceremony together, we won’t feel like strangers.
In addition to my work as a wedding officiant, I head up our partner business, Thrive Couples Coaching. No two days are the same, just like no two couples are the same.
When I’m not marrying people, I love spending time with my husband and two boys. We enjoy going to the beach, making pizza and hanging out in our East Van neighbourhood.
Feel free to read some of my reviews and ask as many questions as you’d like.
