Your Wedding celebrant

For an unforgettable ceremony
Your bespoke
and intimate ceremony
Through a unique approach to bespoke ceremonies, I offer you my attentive presence and my talents as a writer and speaker.
A professional artist, singer, and actress, I have been guiding couples and their families for 12 years in creating their tailored ceremonies.
Each ceremony is an original creation that will leave an unforgettable imprint on your heart and those of your loved ones. Because being gifted your own story and hearing how deeply your loved ones cherish you is a profound, extraordinary moment. For me, it’s a celebration of life, of human bonds, and therefore, love itself.
How I Craft YOUR STORY
I LOVE CREATING SOMETHING UNIQUE FOR EACH COUPLE.
Drawing on my threefold experience as a performer, expression coach, and writer, I offer you my attentive listening, my singular perspective, and all my creativity to make your ceremony a true gem.
I know how to listen to your loved ones and put them at ease, gathering the very best of your lives and your story.
Together, we’ll celebrate the bonds that have shaped who you are today and brought you to this moment…
I’ll invite your loved ones to honor the connections you’ve built together—the ones that make each of you unique in their eyes.
I’ll guide them through this process, and on your wedding day, you’ll receive their beautiful & heartfelt messages…
There will be tears, laughter, and so much love.
In the end, it’s my skills as a writer, speaker, and musician that allow me to craft and orchestrate your ceremony, riding the great wave of emotion. So that it becomes the most beautiful, the most alive, and the most “humanly yours” you could ever imagine.
To bring you joy, and to accompany you with authenticity, sincerity, and humanity.
A Wedding
That's Truly YOURS...
Each time I’m writing a wedding ceremony, I become the ear, then the mouth of those who don’t dare speak in public.
Brothers, sisters, parents, friends… and of course, the couple themselves—each one opens up to me in an hour-and-a-half conversation. I record everything and take notes. Lots of notes.
I’m absorbing it all, trying to capture what I see, hear, and feel: the sparkle in their eyes, the bursts of laughter, the catch in their voice. And of course, the words they say, the expressions they use.
“We’re not used to this….diving into ourselves, trying to put into words what moves us about the other person, the place they hold in our lives…I know it’s going to be extraordinary!”
A TRUE CONNECTION WITH THOSE YOU LOVE,
AN INTIMATE AND ORIGINAL CEREMONY.
Your loved ones play an essential role in your life, and they’re just as important in crafting your ceremony. Through in-depth video conversations, I gather their stories and memories about you.
"A ceremony filled with life, truly yours!"

« Emmanuelle is an exceptional officiant. We were truly impressed by her ability to get to know us in such a short time and to tell our story as if she had known us forever. We had a bilingual ceremony (French-English) and Emmanuelle seamlessly alternated between both languages with ease and fluidity, without doing a word-for-word translation. Her writing is moving, precise, and elegant. She knows how to convey a couple’s love with authenticity while preserving what makes them unique. She successfully included our loved ones by involving them in the speeches, without pressuring those who were more hesitant, and through them, she painted a portrait of us that allowed our guests to know us better. She brought us so much joy during our wedding and truly contributed to making our ceremony a memorable moment. If you want a ceremony full of emotion and elegance, we highly recommend her! »

« We’re so grateful to have found Emmanuelle. She has made our wedding very unique and memorable for everyone.
From the first phone call, Emmanuelle was very professional and warm. She guided us through our ceremony and took charge of all the interviews. After the first set of calls, we didn’t need to worry about anything. She reached out to our friends and family for interviews, was very efficient, and everyone who spoke with her had the most wonderful experience. »

“Hi Emmanuelle,
Thank you for taking the time with us and our friends and family in order to put the ceremony together.
As a result the ceremony was intimate and personal, and more importantly a great representation of us. The words were beautiful and touching and it was so special to hear what our closest said. We are lucky to have found you.
It was a fantastic day with an even more special ceremony. We can’t thank you enough.
Thank you again.”
Cherie & Jean-baptiste
