Testimonials

I am deeply honoured when couples take time to let me know the impact I have had on them, and their special day. I will continue to add more to my Instagram account : @this.moment.officiant

Allie + James, August 2026

"The decision to have Dale as our officiant was one of the easiest out of all of our wedding planning decisions. From the beginning, she brought an attentive, calm and warm presence to our wedding. We loved how she approached writing our ceremony script, and had so much fun reflecting on our conversations with her. She gave us the perfect amount of flexibility and freedom to customize. So many of our guests expressed how beautiful the ceremony was, and Dale of course had a huge part in that.                                 We cannot recommend her enough! With lots of gratitude." 

Lea + Tyler, August 2026

"Dale is everything we could have hoped for. She was clear and detailed in guiding is through the paperwork and process of becoming ready for the ceremony. At the ceremony she gave a wonderful and heartwarming ceremony including many personal details, creating an intimate atmosphere, and made sure everything went off without a hitch. I could not have asked for a better person to share out special day with."

Kate + Blain, July 2026

"We loved getting to work with Dale and couldn’t have chosen a better person to stand with us during our ceremony. From previous years of working in the Wedding industry, I had always remembered Dale‘s kindness and intentional ceremonies, and I knew that we would want her for our special day. We both enjoyed our pre-ceremony meetings with Dale and we’re grateful for such a personalized ceremony as a result. We could not recommend Dale enough!"

Brendan + Evelina, June 2026

"Dale was absolutely fantastic to work with! We were looking for an officiant who could provide a simple ceremony that felt personal as neither of us are religious. We preferred to sign our documents after the ceremony rather than during. We weren’t sure if this was a common request but Dale assured us it would be an easy change. As neither of us had been married before, we had lots of questions and Dale always had all the answers!

Through individualized interviews Dale had each of us reminiscing over our relationship to get to know us and to craft a beautiful ceremony. Dale has a wonderfully warm presence and always reassured us when we made mistakes. She found spelling errors on the marriage documents that we sent her but was able to completely take care of the corrections and paperwork leaving us to enjoy our honeymoon! We are so thankful for having Dale marry us!"

Anna + Mike, October 2025

"We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Dale's communication was exceptional—clear, prompt, and always reassuring. The ceremony script she created for us was truly beautiful and so thoughtfully personalized; she captured our story and personalities perfectly. On the day itself, Dale's calm presence put us completely at ease and helped make the moment feel even more special. We highly, highly recommend Dale to anyone looking for an amazing officiant. She made our day unforgettable!"

Madeline + Evan, July, 2025

"We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. From our very first conversation, Dale was kind, professional, and completely in tune with what we wanted for our ceremony. She was punctual, well-prepared, and brought a calm, comforting presence to the entire experience. She crafted a ceremony that felt deeply personal, heartfelt, and true to us as a couple — it was absolutely perfect. We are so grateful for the care and thought she put into every detail. Thank you for making our day so meaningful and memorable!"

Lee + Luc, August, 2024

"We loved having Dale as our officiant. Her services were professional and seamless. She made our wedding ceremony personal to us, and guided us through with gentle ease. She kept everyone engaged with her presence. We would highly recommend her to anyone! A++++"

Paloma + Jacob, May, 2024

"Thank you so much Dale. The time you took with each of us to understand our story from each of our perspectives was amazing. You guided us through this whole process and customized it to us and how we wanted it. We felt heard and understood. We could not have had such a perfect day without you. All of our family members commented on how brilliant your ceremony was, and captured both our love and our history with grace and humour (exactly like us.) I speak for us both when I say there will be only one officiant we recommend going forward in life, and it is with pleasure we are able to do so."

Alyssa + Jake, October 2023:

"Dale, you came highly recommended from a family friend's wedding (another Jake, funny enough) and you didn't disappoint. You were a clear voice when we needed you, guiding us through what the actual process of getting married could/would look like and helping us find the words to express ourselves through the stories you had us share with you. Your video calls with each of us helped us both to open up about our relationship in a way we haven't done before. Your ability to pull the things that make us unique as a couple out of all the rambling and story telling we did with you was incredible to see. You created a perfect ceremony for us, short and sweet, with just the right amount of laughter and love infused in every sentence. It was a beautiful ceremony to be part of, and I think we were both happy to be able to get through it quickly and easily. Thank you for leading us through one of the happiest moments of our lives." 

Lisa + David, August 2023:

"The hand-fasting ritual was something we'd not have considered if you hadn't suggested it, yet it was the perfect way for us to make our ceremony unique, very meaningful and include our children in our commitment to each other. The time, thought, and research you did to create the wording of our ceremony added so much joy and sentiment (with a nice touch of humour) to make our celebration perfect and unique to us. We can't thank you enough."

Mary + Tyson, May 2023:

"Dale was an absolute blessing for our special day. Not only did she take time prior to the wedding to get to know us individually and as a couple, but on the actual day she was very present and kind. There is something about Dale's presence that is so comforting and heart-warming you can feel immediately how much she cares about the important work she does. We would 100% recommend her and are so grateful to have spent the time we did with her as she is a special woman."

Gini + Bhadresh, November 2022:

"We had the pleasure of having Dale Delahunt as our wedding officiant and it was an absolute blessing! She was incredibly kind, attentive, creative, and went above and beyond to make our special day even more special. Her personalized touch, warmth, and professionalism made our ceremony unforgettable. We felt at ease and truly appreciated her efforts to make sure our ceremony was perfect. We are grateful for her contribution to making our wedding day unforgettable and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly special and unique wedding experience."

Aleisha + Jess, July 2021:

"Thanks sooooooo much for everything you've done for us. We absolutely loved having you performing our ceremony today. It was so touching and personal and we couldn't have asked for anything more because it was perfect."

Amber + Mike, September 2020

"Dale was an incredible officiant and the most amazing addition to our big day! From the first time we spoke with Dale, she was friendly, warm and attentive. She listened to all our stories and perfectly captured the details of our relationship in our ceremony. Dale made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process with how organized and prompt she was with her correspondence (exactly what you are looking for when trying to plan a wedding!). Dale has a great sense of humour and was a true calming presence on the day of our wedding. We cannot thank her enough and would recommend her a million times over to any couple looking for a great Humanist officiant!" 

Amy + Michael, September, 2020

"We are so happy Dale was able to officiate our wedding. We had an intimate ceremony and it was important to us that we had a good connection with everyone in attendance. Dale made an effort to get to know use better before the wedding so that she could add a personal touch the ceremony. She was also extremely professional, timely and guided us through the entire process. We greatly appreciated her flexibility throughout the day and would strongly recommend Dale for any future couples looking for officiants in the Kingston area!"
