Weddings

We started Vancouver Officiant in 2019 with a simple idea: every ceremony should be written from scratch around the couple. Their story, their voices, their people. Never a template.

Today our team of more than 40 officiants performs warm, personal ceremonies across British Columbia, and we handle the legal side so couples can be fully present on the day.

Systems

Running a busy wedding company taught us that the work is the easy part. Keeping up with everything around it is not.

So we built our own systems: a semi-automated back office, an AI receptionist that answers our line day and night, and a content workflow that turns one wedding into a month of posts. Through iWeddingBoss we package what works for photographers, planners, florists, venues and officiants.

The ideas aren't only for weddings. Any small service business can use the same approach: tools like Blotato for scheduling and systeme.io for pages, and automation that does the repetitive work.

Our story

We've been married for 40 years, and we've spent most of them building things together.

In 2003 we established East Gate Ministries, a non-profit that began as a local church. Today it also facilitates the officiant licensing bodies in British Columbia and Alberta, the legal backbone for the officiants on our teams.

That work led to Vancouver Officiant, to our partnership with Wild Rose Officiants in Alberta, and to iWeddingBoss. Different names, one thread: helping people mark the moments that matter, and making the work behind them a little easier.
