We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy to communicate with—professional, prompt, and always clear. She provided us with thoughtful guidance throughout the entire process, which made planning the ceremony feel seamless and stress-free. On the big day, she delivered an absolutely beautiful ceremony that perfectly captured who we are as a couple. Her calming presence made us feel so comfortable and at ease, and she spoke with such warmth and sincerity that truly touched us and our guests. Not to mention, she looked fabulous and brought such a lovely energy to our day. We’re so grateful for her role in making our wedding so special—highly, highly recommend!

Catherine was so lovely to work with! She was very patient in walking us through the ceremony structure and providing all the information required for pre- and post-ceremony marriage documents. She was punctual, professional and just so sweet! We highly recommend Merry Fairy Weddings to officiate your special day!

Catherine was absolutely exceptional and our ceremony was everything we could have dreamed of and more! We were extremely well prepared for our big day, thanks to Catherine. She clearly explained all of the documentation, covered all the steps along the way, and lead the rehearsal ceremony. She took the time to meet with us to truly understand our vision. She turned our dream celebration into reality! We can not recommend The Merry Fairy enough. - The Laviolettes

Catherine is great. We had a short and sweet, intimate paper signing ceremony and it couldn’t have gone any better. Catherine put a nice touch with a ring warming ceremony and we were all very touched! Highly recommend. Thanks again!

When my wife and I needed to have a non-secular wedding in our home, we discovered The Merry Fairy. After a brief discussion, we knew we had found someone who was able to check all the boxes and went forward. The Merry Fairy team were very accommodating to our time and location needs and adapted the flow of the ceremony to meet our needs. On the actual day, everything was well organized and Sofie was amazing. Simple, sweet, and painless. I would highly recommend.
