About
Alex is a licensed BC Marriage Officiant and Life-Cycle Celebrant serving the Okanagan Valley including Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, and surrounding areas. She specializes in creating personalized wedding ceremonies that reflect each couple's unique story, values, and beliefs. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a micro-wedding, or a full traditional celebration, Alex works closely with you to craft a ceremony that feels authentically yours - from the processional to the recessional.
Her approach starts with getting to know your story over a consultation. She then creates a full customized script based on your history together, incorporating personal vows, readings, rituals, and music that speak to who you both are. Alex handles all the legal requirements as a registered officiant, signing the marriage license and managing the registration with BC Vital Statistics so you receive your marriage certificate.
Beyond weddings, she also performs vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, anniversaries, memorials, family celebrations, pet memorials, and business ceremonies. She works in both English and German, and is an LGBTQ+ supporter comfortable working with couples of any faith, religion, culture, and belief system.
FAQs
Can a celebrant legally marry us in BC?
Yes, if your celebrant is an ordained minister and registered with BC Vital Statistics, they can sign the marriage license and marriage register. After your ceremony, the celebrant sends your license to BC Vital Statistics to register your marriage, and you'll receive your certificate by mail.
Do we have to write our own vows?
You can write your own vows, pick standard ones, or have your celebrant write personalized vows based on your story. There's no requirement either way - it's entirely up to what feels right for your ceremony.
How much does a wedding celebrant typically charge in BC?
Pricing varies across the province depending on location, type of wedding, date, season, and what you're looking for. A celebrant puts significant work into getting to know you and creating a one-of-a-kind ceremony that reflects your values and story. If you want a simple signing of papers, a commissioner may be better; if you want a personalized, meaningful ceremony, a celebrant offers a no-obligation consultation to discuss options.
