I craft personalized wedding ceremonies for couples who want their 'I do' to feel like them — not a script. From the full Braided Ceremony experience to an intimate Bloom Ceremony, every word is written around your story, your people, and the love that brought you here.

Absolutely — every love story is welcome here. Braided Rivers Bloom is rooted in my own Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) and Lebanese heritage, and I approach every ceremony with the same respect and care, regardless of who you are or where you come from.

Yes — every package is a starting point, not a script. We'll talk through what matters most to you, and I'll tailor your ceremony to reflect your story.

Yes — your vows are the most intimate moment of your ceremony, and I encourage you to speak from the heart. If you'd like support, I'm happy to guide you through writing them so they feel natural, true, and completely yours. No pressure, just space to say what's in your heart.

Every love story has its own geography. I'm based in Ottawa and honoured to travel across Ontario to be part of yours. Depending on your location, a travel fee may apply — reach out and we'll sort it out together.

Reach out as soon as you're ready, whether you have a set date or just a season in mind. I welcome the chance to connect about what's possible. That said — always ask, even if it feels last-minute.

I want to hold your day with the intention it deserves. A retainer secures your date, and the remaining balance is due one week before your ceremony, payable by e-transfer. Full details are outlined in your contract.

Yes — a rehearsal helps everyone feel calm and confident on the day. We'll walk through timing, positioning, and any special moments together, so there are no surprises when it counts. This is an add-on service, subject to availability.

Once you've said 'I do', I take care of everything — signing, submitting your marriage licence to the province, and following up to confirm it has been registered. You leave as newlyweds. I handle the rest.

In the rare event of an emergency on my end, I have a trusted network of officiants I can call on who understand my approach and will honour your ceremony with the same care. Your day is safe with me.
