Looking for something more meaningful than your boring 9 to 5?

 Becoming a wedding officiant is a fulfilling, flexible side gig that lets you connect with people, celebrate love, and actually enjoy the work you do. Whether you're looking for a creative outlet, a way to meet amazing couples, a side hustle that actually feels good, or just something that feels more you, officiating could be the meaningful change you've been looking for—something with heart, purpose, and a whole lot of joy. 

Meet our founder

Karen Trines (she / her)


Karen started her journey as a wedding planner, where she noticed a major gap in the industry: couples were struggling to find modern, inclusive officiants who could deliver meaningful, personalized ceremonies. In 2020, she launched her own officiant business to fill that gap—and it quickly grew into a thriving team performing over 100 custom weddings a year across Ontario and Quebec.

Now, through the Canadian School of Wedding Officiants, Karen is sharing her experience to help the next wave of officiants create unforgettable ceremonies and build fulfilling businesses of their own.
