Why choose Josée as your wedding officiant?
A service designed for intimate weddings and elopements
Getting married in the great outdoors is pure magic… but it can also add a bit of stress when you’re trying to find someone willing to hike up a mountain, stand by a waterfall or venture into the heart of a remote forest to officiate your ceremony. We often saw our couples excited for their elopement, but a little lost when it came to this step.
Then one day, after a sunrise elopement, Patrick turned to Josée and said it would make so much sense for her to become an officiant. And everything just clicked. It would take one more worry off our couples’ shoulders and make their day even more seamless.
Since then, our full experience also includes officiating your union, unless you prefer to give that role to someone close to you. And the moment “You may kiss!” echoes through the trees, she picks up her camera again and we both continue documenting your adventure without interruption or hassle. You stay fully present — we take care of everything else.
The little extras that make all the difference
Personalized, human, flexible
A ceremony written just for you
Fully personalized, without fixed formulas or overly solemn language. In French, English, or even bilingual, Josée writes warm, human, lively ceremonies that truly reflect who you are.
Meaningful symbolic rituals
Handfasting, warming of the rings, quaich… Josée knows a whole host of rituals and can help you choose if you want to add one to your ceremony.
Moments that make you laugh… and touch your heart
Your ceremony can be lighthearted, intimate, emotional, or a little bit of all three. Josée knows how to strike that perfect balance between tenderness, humor, and depth.
The space you want for your loved ones
If you would like to involve a parent, friend, or even your entire group of friends, Josée will incorporate their participation into the ceremony in a natural and seamless manner.
We take care of the legal stuff
Documents, forms, and mailings to the directeur de l’État civil: Josée handles everything from start to finish. You don’t have to coordinate anything. She can even find witnesses for you if you don’t have any!
A ceremony that follows your pace
Sunrise, changing weather, hiking, the perfect moment arriving 30 minutes later than planned… Josée adapts. Your ceremony takes place at the right time, without pressure.
Josée brought so much joy and smiles to our ceremony. We shared lots of laughs with her—and you can see it in all our photos!
Josée moved us so deeply with her ceremony speech. We could feel her sincerity, generosity, and great sensitivity.

How to get legally married in Quebec
We know that paperwork isn’t the most exciting part of planning a wedding. But don’t panic! We’ll explain your options so that everything is in order:
If Josée is your wedding officiant
She takes care of everything! No need to worry, Josée handles all the paperwork with the Directeur de l’État civil. Whether you live in Quebec or elsewhere, she’ll let you know which documents to provide and take care of the rest. If needed, she can even help find your witnesses!
If you choose a loved one as the officiant
Would you prefer a friend or family member to celebrate your union? This is possible thanks to the status of one-day officiant. But be careful: in this case, it is up to you (and your designated officiant) to complete all the administrative procedures with the Directeur de l’état civil to ensure that the marriage is valid.
