Rhona Segarra (she/her)

My personal mission is to fill the world with love, one person at a time. And today, that starts with you! I look forward to getting to know you, hearing your love story and learning what matters most to you. I want to understand your dreams – both for your wedding day and for your life – and create a ceremony that is unique to who you are and what you love; a ceremony which you remember and treasure forever. 

I have always loved the joy, excitement and romance of weddings. From officiating a family vow at my brother’s wedding to creating a blessing ceremony at my own wedding, I’ve always felt that ceremonies should not be limited by a standardized, impersonal script. I want to create a ceremony that has deep meaning and tells your memorable story. I believe that every couple is unique and every couple deserves a beautiful and heartfelt wedding ceremony, officiated by a person who cares about people.

When I’m not officiating weddings, I work as a minister at Unity of New Westminster Spiritual Community. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors and dancing flamenco. I love travelling the world with my husband, who I have been married to since 2009. When we embarked on our marriage journey together, we trusted our love for one another and always promised to support each other as we learn and grow. Plus, he always makes the bed, which makes me happy! 

In marriage, my advice is to treat each other kindly, take time to respond rather than react, and create an emotionally safe space so you are free to be who you are. My parents were married 60 years and their advice was to always pay attention to the little things; small, everyday moments are your opportunity to show big consideration. 

My wish for you is that you treat your wedding ceremony as the beginning of a new phase in your lives. Your wedding can be a reflection of who you two are and what you value most. 

 

 

  • Our officiant, Rhona, was wonderful. She genuinely cared about creating an excellent personalized experience for us and our guests. She was a joyful calming presence during our wedding planning process and on the big day. Highly recommend!

  • Rhona from Young Hip & Married put together an amazing ceremony for us. She took the time to get to know us and always kept in touch with us. Our families thought she did an amazing job with the ceremony. I felt like I knew Rhona very well before even meeting her face to face. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

    Jenn & Scott
  • The day was amazing! We had the best experience with Rhona; she was personable and kind. She had the sweetest and calmest voice. We had to make a quick change and she was able to do so in a short time, very accommodating. Thank you so much Rhona and to the team at Young Hip & Married! 🙂

  • We had the pleasure to meet with Rhona from Young Hip & Married. She was fabulous. Really contributed to making our wedding day special. We had many compliments from our guests about her, how personal she made the ceremony and how pleasant she was. Would highly recommend Rhona.

    M & M
  • The good people of Young Hip and Married (YHM) made our elopement so simple and hassle-free, which is exactly what we wanted. We just wanted to be married, with very minimal planning involved, and the helicopter elopement package offered by YHM was perfectly suited to our wants and needs.

    Rebecca was our main point of contact throughout the entire process, and she was so kind, helpful and informative. I didn’t once have to stress out about anything; everything was smooth sailing from the get-go.

    On wedding day, we had Rhona as our officiant, and I can’t begin to tell you what a kind, pure-hearted person she is, just from our interactions that day. She genuinely was so happy for us, and it felt like we had known her for years. Having someone like that officiate our marriage was so special. I wouldn’t have changed a thing about the way we planned our wedding, and how it ultimately played out that day. YHM made our elopement dreams even better than we could have imagined – thank you so much for doing what you do, and for loving love! <3

  • We would like to thank you again for being such a good spirit about the rain and really being professional throughout the ceremony despite getting completely poured on. A lot of our guests commented on what a trooper you were! Mauricio and I agreed that you were the real heart of the day and kept us thinking about what was really important and not worried about the rain as much as we could have.

    Amy & Mauricio
  • If you don’t choose Rhona as your wedding officiant then you may as well not get married 😊 We both met Rhona for the first time as we both walked down the aisle. We couldn’t be happier in the officiant that we chose with her. Her personal demeanour, and what she wrote in her profile: “We honor all people: all races, all creeds, all political ideologies, all abilities, all ages, all expressions of gender, sexuality and who we love.” Were the reasons why we chose her to wed us as we have a son who is gay and that is important to us. Love is love is love ! ❤️ Thank you Rhona for being an integral part of our special day. We couldn’t be happier ! We both highly recommend Rhona as an officiant in making your special day come to life.

    Thanks again Rhona and Clint! You were both exactly what we were looking for in making our day a special one.

    Kathryn & Lyndon
  • Thank you so much for everything you helped us with, the warm vibes and…just everything. You made the process so easy for us and we definitely needed the help with everything else going on. We got so many comments on how thoughtful and genuine the ceremony was, and you were a huge part of that.

    Lisha & Richard
  • My experience with Young Hip & Married was beyond amazing. They provided me with everything I needed. Our officiant Rhona is one of the most beautiful souls. She was so dedicated to making our day unique and special; we felt supported and like our wedding and ideas mattered. Amber Leigh was our photographer and we had such an amazing experience with her. She had us laughing, and caught some of our most special moments. I would highly recommended these two to anyone looking to make their wedding day special.

    Ashley & Sara
  • They made the whole process very seamless. Always contactable and had great contacts for vendors to complete our day.

    Rod & Jessica
  • We had such a fabulous experience working with Rhona from Young Hip and Married. We had a bit of a different request as we wanted a dear friend of ours to perform the ceremony. Rhona was nothing but supportive and helpful through the whole process. She provided all we needed to have a successful ceremony and was full of warmth and support the whole way through. Her presence on the big day was a calming one for us, and our friend who was marrying us – we couldn’t have asked for better 💕 With Rhona, you can’t go wrong! Thank you so so much.
    Melissa & Kevin
  • Our ceremony was so special because of Rhona Segarra – she was professional and responsive from start to finish. She created a beautiful and personalized ceremony for us that we will cherish forever.

  • Our officiant Rhona from Young Hip & Married was amazing! She helped us create a personal and meaningful ceremony, was incredibly down to earth and made us so comfortable. Rhona reminded us to take our time, enjoy the moment and even included a really sweet ring warming ceremony with all of our guests. Highly recommended!

  • We had the best experience with Danya, Rhona and Clint. They were personable and in contact with us throughout the whole thing – even for random questions I had.

    We opted for an officiant and a photographer for our small ceremony. Rhona was super nice and lovely. She is a great officiant! Clint was amazing at his photography. He made us feel comfortable and not awkward taking the photos.

    I would recommend Young Hip & Married to anyone getting married.

    Laura & James
  • We had an amazing experience with our officiant, Rhona at Young Hip and Married. She made the whole process so smooth and easy. My husband and I are quite shy people but she made us both feel at peace standing in front of everyone. Thank you again for everything Rhona.

  • We were a little unsure of how the process would work when we signed up, but we were impressed with the level of service and care. All e-mails were answered promptly regarding any questions we had and when we found our officiant the process became even better. We chose Rhona based on her profile and after meeting via Zoom we could feel her warmth and that she genuinely wanted us to have the wedding ceremony of OUR dreams. She was very easy to work with, understanding and delivered a phenomenal ceremony. It felt like we knew her for years, our family and friends were extremely impressed by her words. I would recommend this website for anyone who is looking to get married. It’s very straightforward and easy to use.

    Having our wedding officiated by Rhona was the greatest! Rhona made the process so simple and every piece reflected who we are as a couple. During the ceremony I felt anchored by Rhona and my family was happily surprised that we found someone with such sweet energy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Matthew & Jazmine
  • Rhona was wonderful and had such a beautiful energy. The Young Hip & Married team was so easy to deal with too. Highly recommend!

    Marie & Danny
  • We just wanted to reach out and thank you so much for a wonderful day. You were fantastic and we really appreciate you taking the time to come out and marry us. Your words were perfect and we are so thankful for your energy on the day.
    Nikki & Stefan
  • I manage the Princess and the Pea Hotel in Langley BC and had the pleasure of meeting Rhona, who officiated a recent wedding here. Professional, kind, and her grounded presence made this ceremony absolutely magical. I highly recommend her.

    Ange
  • We did the Signed, Sealed, and Delivered package! My husband’s brother conducted our ceremony and then Rhona took care of all the legalities – she was awesome and even came to the rehearsal to make sure we were all set! Thank you for everything!!

    Kennedy & Scott
  • I’ll start off by saying that Young Hip & Married is the way to go! Not only do you get a fantastic officiant that is hand selected for you, you get the support of the YH&M team! Unfortunately our original officiant wasn’t able to facilitate our ceremony but YH&M already had another officiant lined up. Rhona took the original officiant’s script that we built with her, and tweaked it to make it her own. The personalized ceremony was well worth the upgrade. Our guests loved hearing our story, and it was a beautiful way to say our “I do’s” and start our celebration. Thank you Rhona and the YH&M team for the best ceremony we could have asked for!

  • We were married by Rhona on a cold and rainy day in May. She was wonderful; calm, competent and so kind. She delivered a beautiful and well-paced ceremony. If we ever renew our vows we will definitely ask Rhona to be the officiant again!

    Jake & Diana
  • We worked with Rhona and she was amazing! Very responsive, flexible with what we were hoping for our ceremony and just overall a lovely person. Would definitely recommend!

    Samara & Anders
  • These guys were amazing from the start. Very professional and accommodating when we changed our location. Our officiant, Rhona, was so lovely and really helped to make our wedding a great day. I’m so impressed with how professional this company is.

    These guys were amazing from start to finish. Thank you!

    Michelle & Glen
  • When I was first looking for an officiant, I had a lot of concerns. I’m a non-traditional bride and our wedding was so diverse that I was worried that I would have a super traditional and rigid officiant. My husband and I found YH&M through looking up online reviews and we were really drawn to the fact that we could customize the ceremony. They were so responsive once we filled in the information form. We got to meet our officiant before making any commitments as well.

    Our officiant was Rhona and she was absolutely amazing!! Her energy matched my partner and I so well. She was so helpful and responsive when we emailed her with questions. Having her at our rehearsal made everything run so smoothly on the day. We asked her for a very sweet ceremony with some humour and she absolutely delivered! The ceremony was absolutely the highlight of the wedding. All of our friends and family thought she was great!

    Lastly, the vow writing course was so helpful for organizing what we wanted to say to each other 🙂

    Shaira & De'voreaux
  • We had Rhona as our officiant and could not be happier. We purchased the customized ceremony package and the process was amazing. Working on the ceremony script leading up to the day made us feel comfortable and confident that what was going to be delivered was exactly what we wanted. Rhona was so warm and kind and make our ceremony extremely special. We had many comments from our guests about how lovely she speaks and how engaging she was. Definitely recommend Young Hip & Married especially if you are looking for something unique and/or more personal.

    Caitlin & Derek
  • Oh my goodness, thank you so so much for Saturday. We are still glowing from the beautiful ceremony. Everyone always said how fast it would go by in a blur, but I remember every single moment. It was amazing. You were amazing from start to finish of the process. I will absolutely recommend you to anyone getting married!! Wishing you the best and sending our love & endless thanks.

    Emilie & Ryan
  • Young Hip & Married is an amazing company to work with. We had Rhona as our officiant and we would not have had it any other way! She is so patient, calm and has a peaceful aura to her. Myself and my now husband highly recommend Rhona Segarra and using Young Hip & Married!

    Natalia & Leo
  • We eloped with young hip & married! Rhona was our officiant and we were so happy with our experience. She calmed our nerves and made us feel comfortable while exchanging our vows. Her words and delivery were heartfelt. Would definitely recommend booking Rhona!

    Ellen & Travis
  • Our experience with this company was nothing short of amazing. They are very prompt and selected an officiant that worked perfectly for us. Rhona was amazing and we do not have enough nice things to say! She was so helpful in each part of planning and preparing our perfect ceremony. My husband and I were nervous about writing our own vows and Rhona helped us create a very special and meaningful ceremony and vows and we could not be more appreciative. I would highly recommend for anyone planning a wedding! Thanks again!

    Anne & Duncan
  • We had Rhona from Young Hip & Married officiate our wedding on Sept. 23. She wrote such a beautiful ceremony with our contributions, and she was so thorough and supportive through the planning and rehearsal process. And she is truly just such a kind and warm person. We had so many compliments from our guests about how engaging our ceremony was and how much they enjoyed listening to Rhona. We’re so thankful we chose YH&M and grateful Rhona was available on our wedding day!

  • Having Young Hip & Married officiate our elopement was extremely easy and fun. Rhona, our officiant, was great! She’s very kind and sincere and Mark and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. We are very happy we chose Young Hip & Married to be part of our special day! Thank you once again!

    Nicole & Mark
  • Our wedding ceremony was everything I dreamed it would be, and that could not have happened without the lovely, Rhona Segarra. My husband and I chose the Custom & Creative Ceremony package. This allowed us to tailor the ceremony to our preferences and ideas. Rhona Segarra, the officiant we chose, was so helpful during the planning process. She took the time to meet with us via zoom, since we lived outside of her driving range. She took the time to get to know us and was open to hearing our ideas of how we wanted to ceremony to look and if there were any questions, she did not hesitate to respond and help.

    On the big day, she made my dreams come true. The ceremony was everything I hoped it would be and more. She really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. Overall, I am extremely impressed with the professionalism, the responsiveness and the helpfulness Young Hip and Married provided throughout this whole journey. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

  • Rhona Segarra was a joy to work with in officiating our multi cultural wedding blending two different traditions into a beautiful cohesive ceremony. She took the time to know us well, allowed us to co write her part of the ceremony with her, projected heartfelt warmth and love, and brought many happy tears to the day. We recommend her wholeheartedly as a wedding officiant.

    Rhona, you BROUGHT DOWN THE HOUSE! Thank you a millions times over, you were amazing! Your words and the way you spoke it was just exceptional. We felt such warmth and love and support from you and this just added to all the love in the room. We felt connected to you when we first zoom-met and you were the absolute right person to share our love with the world. Thank you!

  • We used Young Hip & Married for our recent wedding and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. They made the process stress-free with great communication from the start and paired us with an officiant who was perfect for us, Rhona! We cannot say enough good things about Rhona; she was so kind and lovely to work with, provided great insight and suggestions from her experience and was all around just amazing. She even asked us for our wedding colours to ensure that she matched the aesthetic, we were amazed by how considerate she was. Our ceremony was exactly what we hoped it would be. I would recommend Young Hip and Married and specifically Rhona to anyone looking for a wonderful officiant.

    Vanessa & Ben
  • Rhona was a dream to work with for our elopement. Her words were so beautiful and sincere for our ceremony, and the ambiance and calm energy she brought to our day was wonderful. Although we had only met Rhona for the first time the day of our elopement, we felt like we had known her for years! We are so grateful to Rhona and YHM for making our ceremony as meaningful as it was. Thank you!

  • Rhona was an amazing officiant. She has such a loving and warm energy and was really easy to work with. She helped make our special day even more special! I do recommend going for the option with the rehearsal. It will make all the difference.

    Aldo & Kristal
  • Thank you so much for being a part of our special day. You truly made our ceremony special and exceeded all expectations! We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to share this moment with.

    Abigail & Jan Michael
  • Rhona, thank you for officiating our wedding. It was a great day and the ceremony was perfect. We received a lot of compliments on how the ceremony was done, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went.

  • Thank you so much for officiating our wedding. We were so happy with your service and glad you were a part of our special day!!

    Rika & Hiroshi
  • We found Young Hip & Married in 2021 when we were considering an elopement package. When 2022 rolled around and we decided to have an in-person wedding we decided to reach out to them again. And we’re so happy we did!

    Through YH&M we found both our wedding officiant, Rhona Segarra, and our wedding photographer, Clint Bargen. Both were absolutely the best! We met with them online first and decided to work together because our values really synced up with theirs.

    Rhona was very sweet and was totally prepared when the time came. She was able to keep us calm and grounded so that we could be present and enjoy the moment. Many of our guests commented that the words she chose were very moving. And that she smiled and seemed to really enjoy the ceremony.

    Clint takes wedding photography to a whole other level! Not only did he take beautiful pictures that captured the moment he also helped us through each moment throughout the day. He’s been to more weddings than we have and was a dedicated guide. We didn’t know how to do the ceremonial cake cutting and Clint took over and gave some simple instructions so we felt comfortable in front of our gather family and friends.

    If we had to do it all again, we wouldn’t change a thing.

  • Well…what to say about this lovely company but more specifically Rhona??? They are absolutely amazing! Their professionalism is top notch.

    Our first meeting with Rhona was via Zoom. She came with a great and genuine spirit which immediately put us at ease. She was so real and walked us through what that part of the evening might look like. She followed up with so much support material around writing your own vows or choosing an already curated one.

    Thank you Young Hip and Married for sharing Rhona with us!

    Rhona, it was such a wonderful wedding and you will always be a part of it. We can’t thank you enough for your calmness and professionalism. We will never forget you.

    Adanma & Peter
  • Young Hip and Married made our elopement an amazing experience!! Through covid changes, snow storms and having to postpone multiple times, every step of the way was a breeze. They listened to what we wanted, got to know us and made our day so special. We had Rhona as our officiant and she was the sweetest, and Amber Leigh as our photographer and she had a great eye for detail!! We highly recommend YH&M and the photographer package, it made planning that much easier.

    Bobbi-Jo & Nathen
  • Our wedding ceremony was perfect! It was personalized to explain us as a couple, and really did just that. Rhona was fantastic! She made our experience very special, and was very helpful and easy to get a hold of. She was very thorough and we really felt that she had an accurate description of us as a couple. She contacted our friends and family for their input as well. We had our guests raving about the ceremony afterwards and how personal and loving it was. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! We highly recommend!
