Hi - my name is Rev. Shelley and I’d love to get you married!
Wedding Officiant & Celebrant · Comox Valley & Vancouver Island
I create ceremonies that tell your story, not a script with your names dropped in. Nearly 50 couples have trusted me with their day so far: engaged for 34 years or 34 days, arriving by helicopter or on foot, with hundreds of guests or just two witnesses.
From your first hello to your first kiss as a married couple, I'll help you feel grounded, seen and celebrated.
Now booking June–September 2027. Let's talk about your day.
"Our wedding was the most perfect, unforgettable day! Shelley’s delivery, the detail and the passion made the ceremony our favourite part!”
~ Jeremy & Karlee
“All of our guests told us how incredible our ceremony was and that she was the best reverend/officiant they've ever seen.”
~ Ariana & Devon
_______________________________________
As a celebrant, Gottman-trained couples coach, speaker and storyteller, I create heartfelt ceremonies and breathtaking adventure elopements. My coaching background means I don't just ask what you want on the day. I learn what makes the two of you work, so your ceremony carries your energy, your vision and your values.
An Island-season officiant
I officiate weddings on Vancouver Island from June through September only. Those are the months the Island is at its most alive, and they're the months I'm fully here, rooted in the Comox Valley and giving every couple my whole attention. Because the season is short, dates fill early. If your heart is set on a summer wedding, reach out sooner rather than later.
Your love deserves a ceremony that feels like no one else's.
“The best decision we made was to choose Rev. Shelley for our ceremony!”
— Frank & Lynda McGuire
“Every single attendee raved about the ceremony and how it was the best ceremony they had ever attended.”
— Anna & Richard
