Matthew & Heather
We are pleased to be a part of the accredited Angels of the Earth Interfaith Community (AEIC). Our wedding ceremonies are designed for interfaith, non-denominational, spiritual, civil, and LGBTQ2S+ couples in Ontario. The AEIC recognizes people of ALL faiths and spiritual beliefs.
We welcome a variety of ceremony additions such as smudging, handfasting and unity or other ceremony ideas that you may have. We encourage our couples to create unique ceremonies that tell the story of who they are and how they will continue to support one another.
We offer wedding ceremonies in Kingston, Prince Edward County, Toronto and many other locations in Ontario.
Our Stories

I was raised in a military family with many stops throughout Canada and even Germany, but Kingston is “where I’m from” and has been for 30 years.
If you are passionate about building lasting relationships that foster trust, respect, and love, then I look forward to meeting you and your partner and learning more about you.
From funny to formal or somewhere in between, I’m comfortable working with you to create a ceremony that meets your needs.
I look forward to helping make your wedding day memorable.

From beautiful indoor venues to stunning outdoor weddings and exquisite historic family homes I have had the privilege of coordinating more than 100 weddings for some really incredible couples.
My officiating role will focus on more intimate ceremonies and elopements for two to twenty guests. I enjoy brainstorming with couples and thinking outside the box when it comes to writing their vows and picking ceremony locations.
You have an incredible love story, and I look forward to hearing all about it. Let's find a time to grab a beverage together and you can tell me all the details.
