VENDOR SPOTLIGHT // OFFICIATE I DO
There is a special kind of magic that happens when a ceremony feels deeply personal — when every word, every moment, and every detail reflects the heart of a couple’s love story. At Officiate I Do, that magic begins with Amalia. As a professional registered wedding officiant in the Province of Ontario, Amalia has built her work on a foundation of genuine connection, heartfelt storytelling, and unwavering support. Her warm, encouraging presence invites couples to feel at ease from the very first conversation, giving them the confidence and freedom to shape a ceremony that feels authentically their own.
With passion, energy, and a beautifully grounded approach, Amalia treats every couple like family, guiding them through the ceremony-planning journey with kindness and expertise. Whether assisting with personal vows, crafting meaningful narrative moments, or travelling across Southern Ontario to bring a wedding vision to life, she approaches each celebration with care and joy. From intimate elopements to grand gatherings, Amalia’s goal is always the same: to create a seamless, memorable, and heartfelt ceremony that couples will look back on with pure happiness.
In this week’s Vendor Spotlight, Amalia opens up about the heart behind Officiate I Do, the inspiration she finds in each couple she meets, and the advice she shares with those planning their ceremony. Rooted in authenticity and guided by genuine connection, her work celebrates the beauty of unscripted moments and the joy of telling a love story with intention.
“As a professional registered wedding officiant in the Province of Ontario, I enjoy helping couples create a personalized ceremony that reflects their vision and captures the essence of their relationship.
I am genuine and reliable, bringing passion, energy, creativity, knowledge, experience, endless support and lots of positive encouragement.
I treat couples like family! I'm kind and very easy to work with, encouraging couples to have as much freedom as possible to make that special day unique and something to call their own. At any time, couples can reach out to ask any questions, this includes if looking for guidance to write vows or to include a beautiful story about their journey.
Whether you choose to have a traditional or non traditional ceremony, I am flexible with traveling to your venue or location and for intimate or a larger guest count. I offer a competitive rate and a range of services to accommodate anyone’s budget and needs. I can also help couples who engage my services, with connecting them to professional wedding vendors who I work with regularly.
There are many resources available to every couple that decides to use my services to help make that perfect ceremony and most memorable day seamless and one to look back on with such joy!”
What inspires you? My passion is creating memorable experiences and fostering meaningful connections and providing a lot of support. Every ceremony that I have officiated has been so dear to me and I sincerely enjoy meeting couples. Every couple is unique, and their love story deserves to be celebrated in a way that truly reflects their bond.
Who is your mentor in the industry? There are so many terrific vendors and creative and talented individuals out there in our industry. Each one is my hero and offer a uniqueness that is inspiring. Just like at all the locations I have officiated at, each has their own special niche that separates them from other locations.
On your day off, where would we find you? I'm all in, so most days you will find me at the office preparing beautiful ceremonies, on the road going to a venue or attending a location to officiate for someone’s special day. You will find me volunteering in the kitchen baking something sweet for an event, maybe if anything is left over I will also indulge.
My other down time may includes spending time with family and friends dining and exploring different wineries and discovering the amazing wines that Niagara Region has to offer. If I take a vacation, you will find me SUP boarding or Kayaking on the lake. I love long walks on the beach and getting in a vigorous workout while listing to motivating music. My life is simple and tranquil so most nights its tea before bed, sitting in front of a fire when its cooler outside, or snuggling under a blanket to watch a mystery, serious, or funny movie.
What great wedding trends are you seeing this year? Being organic. Unrehearsed! The beauty and magic is in the things that are natural.
Do you have any practical advice for couples planning a wedding? Take your time and enjoy the experience. Be true to your vision and what you would like to have and stay true to who you are. Remember family and friends have their opinions, they should be there to support and encourage you. Don't feel you need to please them or consider something they would like to have or see. You are the captains of your ship and your own team of 2 and in navigating your course in the end.
