“It was a pleasure working with Brenda for our wedding.
She kept us on track and reminded us of any deadlines, helped us ensure that our vows were consistent (as we wanted to keep them a secret), and helped us tailor our ceremony so it felt like 'us'.
Brenda was a pleasure to work with and delivered a beautiful and touching ceremony. She kept everything organized so we didn't need to worry about anything on the day of.
Her kind nature and calming presence were also very much appreciated.
We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Brenda Hamilton as our officiant for our wedding this past weekend, and we could not have been happier with our experience.

Brenda worked closely with us to create a ceremony that was truly perfect — it was exactly what we had envisioned for our special day. She provided us with advice and different options while we were planning, which made the process easy and stress-free.

The ceremony felt personal, meaningful, and was completely “us.” Brenda was such a joy to work with — warm, professional, and inclusive.

We are so grateful to her for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. We would highly recommend Brenda to anyone looking for a caring and professional officiant.”

“Thank you Brenda for officiating our wedding this past weekend!

She was so professional and knowledgeable, making sure we had all the paperwork ready for our big day. One less thing to be stressed about.

We asked for some movie quotes to be added into the ceremony script and she delivered flawlessly. It had both the groom and I smiling and happy as we stood at the alter.”

"Brenda of Dolce Vita came to us highly recommended from other couples in the Kingston area.

It was very easy to see why everyone loved having her as part of their big day.

From initial contact, Brenda was professional, thorough and genuinely invested in getting to know us as a couple as well as our vision for our ceremony.

She provided many recommendations of her own for other vendors that we eventually hired as well (all of which were just as great).

Hiring Brenda goes beyond just finding your officiant, she will be there with reminders and suggestions along the way to help in any way she can.
