An intimate, simple and unique wedding ceremony anywhere in Quebec
in connection with nature
Why choose Josée as your wedding officiant?
A complete, bespoke service for intimate weddings & elopements
Planning an intimate wedding in Québec—especially off the beaten path—can feel like a real challenge. You might be wondering how to find an officiant who truly gets you and is willing to hike up a mountain at sunrise to make it official…
After capturing countless elopements, Patrick had a lightbulb moment: “Have you ever thought about becoming a wedding officiant? I can totally see you doing that!” And just like that, it all clicked.
Why not offer a seamless experience where, beyond photography and planning assistance, Josée also officiates your ceremony? It makes the whole process even more intimate and stress-free.
A one-of-a-kind ceremony, filled with emotion
While I officiate your ceremony, Patrick is behind the lens, capturing every heartfelt moment. Together, we create an intimate and authentic atmosphere where every emotion of your day is documented naturally. Whether you’re exchanging vows in front of a breathtaking view, on a secluded beach, or on top of a mountain, we turn your intimate ceremony into something truly magical.
I’ll be there to guide you through every step of the ceremony, while Patrick captures the laughter, the knowing glances, and all those little sparks. The rest of the time, we document your day together, seamlessly. Our connection allows you to be fully present in the moment, while we create memories you’ll cherish forever.
A ceremony that’s as unique as your love
Every ceremony I craft is one-of-a-kind, just like you.
I’ll get to know your story, your dreams, and what matters most to you both so we can create something that truly feels like you. Want to add a personal ritual, a special reading, or even involve your loved ones? It’s your moment, and we’re here to make it exactly what you want.
A ceremony that reflects you both
My goal is to make your ceremony as heartfelt, unforgettable, and joyful as possible. Every word, every gesture, and every detail is designed to make this vow exchange meaningful and full of happiness—a moment you’ll cherish forever.
Exclusivity
My celebrant services are exclusive to Love is Nord. Except in very rare cases, I do not officiate weddings unless our photography and planning services are also booked—this ensures we can give you the best possible experience, from start to finish.

How to legally get married in Quebec?
Leave it all to me, from A to Z…
No need to worry about paperwork! I’ll handle all the administrative steps with the Directeur de l’État Civil. Whether you’re in a heterosexual or same-sex couple, marriage is legal for everyone in Quebec, no matter gender or identity.
Even if you’re not residing in Quebec, you can still get married here, no problem.
All I’ll need from you are a few essential documents (like your IDs and birth certificates), and I’ll take care of the rest—even finding witnesses for you if needed! That way, you can just focus on enjoying your day, worry-free.
…Or choose a loved one to be your officiant
If you’d rather have someone close to you officiate your wedding, that’s totally fine! As long as they’re authorized under Quebec’s laws, they can become your one-day officiant—what we call a designated officiant.

We answer the most frequently asked questions here.
As your wedding officiant, I’ll take care of the legal side, ensuring your vows are exchanged with all the necessary paperwork in place. My role is to create a ceremony that’s not only meaningful but also seamless, so you can focus on what matters most – each other.
I’m proud to be part of the Centre Amour & Mariage Québec, and with my deep knowledge of wedding rituals, I’ll craft a personalized ceremony that speaks to your story. No awkward moments here – I’ll guide you through every step, ensuring everything flows effortlessly and beautifully.
Yes. As an accredited officiant by the Government of Québec, I’ll provide you with a copy of the declaration (DEC-50) on your wedding day, which I will then submit to the Directeur de l’état civil (Registrar of Civil Status). Afterward, you’ll need to request your official marriage certificate from the government, just like you would with a birth certificate issued by Québec’s civil status office.
I can officiate legal wedding ceremonies anywhere in the province of Québec and symbolic ceremonies anywhere else.
Yes, you can get married according to the Civil Code of Québec. You’ll need to check the specific requirements with the appropriate legal authorities in your province or country. Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through the process to make everything easier!
Legally, your wedding officiant must publish a notice, which must then be displayed for 20 days prior to the wedding.
In certain situations, for serious reasons, it is possible to have the wedding before this period expires by obtaining a dispensation from the notice. If you think your situation might apply, feel free to let me know.
