Testimonials

Here’s what a few of my couples had to say about their experience.

“Dorothy was the perfect marriage commissioner for our special day! She was integral to how the day flowed with total freedom and ease; she thought of / anticipated all of the little details that caused guests and wedding party alike to be set up powerfully, be fully present and to enjoy every moment. Polished, poised and professional throughout it all, Dorothy helped us bring our dream wedding to life.”

“It took about 30 seconds of time with Dorothy for us to know she was the right officiant for us. Her upbeat demeanor and delightful sense of humor coupled with ours instantly. She definitely “got” us. We had big silly grins on our faces every time we met, and all through the ceremony as well. She helped us think through some of our planning, answered some questions for us to set our minds at ease, and best of all we just had so much fun with it all. I could gush at length for quite a while, but I’ll finish with this: We couldn’t have been happier with how the ceremony went, and would in a heartbeat recommend her to anyone and everyone we know. We loved her, our guests loved her… Thank you Dot!”

“We were lucky enough to have Dorothy as the officiant for our wedding ceremony. She was a blessing for us both during the preparations and on the day of our wedding. Dorothy is incredibly kind, caring and beyond professional. Her experience was evident as she was able to anticipate our needs and help us with details we hadn’t yet considered. Dorothy brings her warmth and kind presence to the day. She created a ceremony for us that was unique, personalized and incorporated everything we had asked for. Dorothy’s bright smile and calm words of encouragement before walking down the aisle will not be forgot. Her compassionate touch was so appreciated. We would highly recommend Dorothy for any style wedding”

“When my husband and I decided to get married, I knew we had to have Dorothy as our wedding commissioner. She made us both feel totally at ease, and brought both humour and professionalism at the right times. We never had a rehearsal since our wedding was a bit spontaneous, so I wasn’t sure how the ceremony was going to be, but it couldn’t have been more perfect. We would recommend her to anyone! “

“It was a pleasure to have Dot be a part of our wedding day. She was easy to work with and accommodating with out schedules when preparing the ceremony. She has such a calming nature which helped as neither of us like speaking in front of people. She was well prepared for the ceremony and spoke wth loving words. We are so glad she was available to help make our day so special.”

“We are very glad we chose Dot to be our wedding commissioner. She listened to our requirements and put a lot of thought into our ceremony. She made our day feel very special, and couldn’t have wished for a better day. Dot was just perfect, professional and such a lovely person. It was really important for us to have someone with all these qualities as it was such an intimate ceremony.

We cannot recommend her enough, thank you so much!”

Dot’s genuine love of people and their stories is what makes her an exceptional officiant. Her professionalism was only rivalled by her ability to personalize her program to make it align with our vision for the day. She brought warmth and joy to our ceremony and was funny, thoughtful, and sincere in all the right places. Can’t imagine a better person to entrust with this most sacred of tasks.

Dorothy Karlson was the most amazing, funny, lovely and professional officiant we could have asked for. You can tell from just 5 minutes of meeting Dorothy that she has an amazing sense of humour, is confident speaking in front of people and is genuinely interested in making your special day unforgettable. Matt and I wanted a very personalized, intimate ceremony and boy did she deliver! She took the time to ask us exactly what we envisioned the ceremony to look like, personalized the entire ceremony script to be exactly what we wanted it to be and made it unbelievably personal, including stories/experiences from our lives. It was the perfect balance of humour, and intimacy. There were equal amounts of laughter and tears from us and our guests and we still have people telling us that our ceremony was the most beautiful wedding they have been to. Dorothy by far made our day unforgettable and we can’t recommend her enough!

Jenna & Matt

Summer 2017 Wedding

It was a true blessing to have Dorothy officiate our wedding ceremony! She brought joy and sincerity to one of the best moments of our lives. She was able to incorporate personal experiences by getting to know us and discussing what we wanted before hand. She kept things fun and light but also serious when they needed to be. We could not imagine a better person for the job!

Kyle & Jennifer

“Dorothy performed my farm wedding in 2007 and not only was she professional she added warmth, humor and personality to our customized wedding ceremony. Every bit of it was perfect and having Dorothy walk us through our vows of commitment in front of friends and family was the cherry on top! Not to mention 10+ years and counting… So she’s good luck too;)
