Greetings from Song & Romance Weddings!!! I am ecstatic to introduce myself as a newly appointed Wedding Officiant. I have recently been ordained as a Pastoral Chaplain and began serving my pastoral charge of Brantford as of September 14th, 2024. As a licensed officiant, I can perform ceremonies in Brantford, Brant County and surrounding areas. I am writing to inquire if any of your couples may be seeking an Officiant -- I would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to forward my name and information. I have decades of experience in emceeing, motivational speaking and as a long-time professional entertainer. With my years of coordinating events, I bring creativity to meaningful and personalized wedding ceremonies for couples of all backgrounds and beliefs. I will happily officiate at Elopements, Spiritual, Short & Legal, Religious, Vow Renewals, Commitment Ceremonies, Non-Religious, Non-Denominational, and Mixed Faith. My ceremonies are of various styles: Romantic, Simple, Modern, Personalized, Customized, Traditional, and Theme -- we LOVE theme weddings!!! I take the time to get to know their love story, crafting a ceremony that reflects their unique relationship and values. I am passionate about supporting people's choices in life and love. I help create ceremonies to be proud of while fostering inclusion and comfort within every portion. I officiate at all weddings with an effervescent medley of humour, music, happiness, and respect. * And as a bonus, I can sing the happy couple down the aisle and teach them their first dance!!! It is paramount to me that at the core of my officiant duties is a commitment to welcoming all couples seeking matrimony. I am inclusive and progressive -- I am adamant about upholding the rights of anyone legally able to marry in Ontario, including LGBTQIA+ couples.? I look forward to possibly working with you in the near future. Respectfully & Musically Yours, Chaplain Joan Minnery, M.A., R.E.C.E
