I performed a beautiful ceremony for Amy and Jordan

Wilma was very professional and very helpful in guiding us before and during the ceremony to ensure a smooth day. She performed an absolutely beautiful ceremony. We could not have asked for a better officiant with whom to share our wedding day."

We got married last Saturday and Wilma did the most incredible job. We are so grateful for her.
We both wanted something short, but still capture the important moments in a ceremony and Wilma delivered. She was very sweet and sincere, exactly what we were hoping for. If you are looking for an officiant, look no further- Wilma is the one!

Despite our new normal, Jenna and Mike's wedding was beautiful and I was honored to be apart of it. Venue 308 did an amazing job ensuring we were physically distanced while still connected. Congratulations to a lovely couple - wishing you a lifetime of happiness! 🎊💕

Testimonial, from The Brooks' (September 24, 2016):

Our wedding was simply the best day ever. We were lucky enough to find Wilma on short notice and within a few minutes of meeting I knew we had found the perfect person to marry us. We planned a surprise ceremony and Wilma was extremely helpful in the process. She gave us ideas and advice during our planning and she was very excited to partake in our special day. The ceremony performed by Wilma was exactly how we wanted it! She captured our style beautifully and was presentable and professional. Our friends and family raved about her, and now Wilma will be marrying my sister to her soon husband this summer! Thank you Wilma for your professionalism. You were an absolute joy to work with!

Love, Pete, Stef & Luke Brooks

Testimonial, from Sadie (September 2015):

Wilma took the time to get to know us, wanted to get to know us and wanted to make sure that the ceremony would be perfect. She was amazing as our commissioner adding a strong sense of professionalism. We wouldn't have wanted anyone else officiating our wedding. Thank you Wilma. We'd strongly recommend to anyone getting married to speak to Wilma.

Testimonial, from Colleen & Jay (September 2015):

Wilma,

Thank you for officiating our wedding! It was a pleasure working with you to plan our ceremony.

From our first meeting, you put us at ease by helping to put structure around our ideas and wishes. We knew right away that you were the right person to marry us! We also think that our roots in south eastern Saskatchewan and current Cougar Ridge connection helped to develop instant rapport! You also took the time to get to know us as individuals and a couple through the planning process. We thank you for that!

Thank you also for the suggestion to incorporate the traditional Ukrainian bread ceremony. It was a special element that we enjoyed and our guests though that it was pretty special too!

Take care and wishing you all of the best with Weddings by Wilma!

Regards,
Colleen & Jay

Testimonial, from Lindy D (June 2015):

I found Weddings By Wilma from the Government of Alberta Marriage Commissioner list online. We reached out to Wilma to officiate our small wedding in Calgary and she was very responsive and helpful right from the start. She took the time to walk through everything with me on the phone and was very attentive, clear, and easy to talk to. I could tell right away that she was a lovely person and would be the right choice for us. Wilma made time to email back and forth with me and answer all of my many questions. She walked me though the process of getting our marriage licence and was genuinely interested in getting to know my fiancé and I and our little daughter. Wilma came and met with us in our home before the big day to introduce herself in person and go over the finishing touches. On the day, Wilma was on time and was dressed beautifully and was well prepared. She spoke eloquently at our ceremony and choice the perfect words for us, even including our daughter in the ceremony and offering her the sweetest book as a gift to remember the day. Wilma was a true pro and had everything prepared and once we signed the documents she presented us with a bound copy of our entire ceremony, our vows, and our certificate of marriage. After the ceremony she goes right to the registry and mails the marriage licence in, so that all we have to do is go in and order our copy at our convenience. As this was a very small wedding Wilma’s fee was very reasonable and worth every penny. I would recommend Wilma to any of my friends or family and we were very happy to have found her for our special day. There’s nothing I would have changed.
