Our Story
We’re Kristen and Brian, the heart behind Vancouver Officiant — and first, let us say this:
Congratulations.
Your engagement is the beginning of something truly meaningful, and we’re honoured you’ve found your way here.
Our journey together spans decades, seasons of life, and thousands of love stories. We’ve been married for nearly four decades, and through that time we’ve learned something simple but powerful:
Marriage isn’t just about the wedding day — but the wedding day matters deeply.
It’s the moment where intention is spoken out loud.
Where two people pause, look at each other, and choose this life — together.
That belief is what inspired us to create Vancouver Officiant.
Why We Do What We Do
We’ve officiated thousands of ceremonies — from intimate elopements on mountaintops and quiet backyard gatherings, to grand celebrations filled with family, culture, laughter, and joy.
Through every ceremony, one thing remains constant:
People don’t remember perfect timelines — they remember how a moment made them feel.
Our role is to create ceremonies that feel:
Genuine, never generic.
Personal, never scripted for the masses.
Grounded, calm, and deeply meaningful.
Whether you’re planning something simple or something wildly adventurous, your ceremony deserves intention, care, and heart.
Our Team, Your People
Vancouver Officiant is not a referral directory — we are a dedicated team.
Each officiant who represents us is:
Carefully selected and trained.
Fully licensed.
Warm, inclusive, and people-first.
Aligned with our belief that love is for everyone.
Together, our team brings diverse voices, backgrounds, languages, and styles — all rooted in the same purpose:
to honour your story and hold space for one of life’s most important moments.
What Matters Most to Us
We believe:
Love is worthy of celebration in all its forms.
Your ceremony should reflect you, not a template.
Presence matters more than perfection.
Marriage is a journey worth entering with intention.
Your greatest adventure truly is just beginning — and it would be our privilege to help you begin it well.
We can’t wait to celebrate your love.
— Kristen & Brian
