My (now) husband and I moved into our first home in June and decided we wanted to get married in our backyard in July, 25 days later! We wanted only an officiant and two witnesses and started to research our options. All Seasons Weddings looked to be a great option, and when looking up officiants in our area, Mary Collinson appeared, someone I knew and respected from my home area. I immediately called All Seasons to see if a quick wedding could be planned; not only would this be possible, but Mary responded immediately, set up a schedule to discuss our wishes, AND provided two witnesses as we are new to the area! She was in constant contact up until the day of the ceremony to ensure all went smoothly. The ceremony she planned for our intimate gathering was perfect, and the personal touches she added made the day even better. Mary also provided complete instructions for applying for the marriage certificate once the marriage is registered with the province. I highly recommend All Seasons Weddings and especially Mary Collinson. July 2023

Seeing Mary's video was a great way to get a sense of her warm and enthusiastic personality, and within our first conversation with her we knew we were in great hands. From our first meeting over the phone, to a detailed in-person meeting a month before the wedding, to the rehearsal with our party, Mary took the time to get to know us as a couple and helped us immensely along the way in preparation for our ceremony. She is incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented and organized, which we appreciated greatly especially since we planned and coordinated our wedding ourselves - quickly realizing how much there was to learn and remember along the way. She had thought of every detail when it came to running a smooth ceremony, even giving us tips on how to ensure the photographers could easily capture important moments. We got married in a unique venue with a fairly non-traditional layout, and Mary was open and receptive to our ideas and any changes we wanted to make to the ceremony. It went off without a hitch and we couldn't have been happier! Highly recommend Mary to anyone who wants an officiant who is not only very skilled at what she does, but personally invested in your special day being as perfect as possible. Thank you, Mary! It was a great experience. August 2023

Mary Collinson is the absolute best wedding officiant in the entire world. She held our hands the entire way. Professional, informative, thoughtful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic are just a few words to describe her. My husband and I wanted something simple and intimate and Mary facilitated that and so much more. We were blessed to have her. It was truly the beginning we needed to start this new and exciting journey. October 2023

Mary Collinson was such a wonderful addition to our wedding! Darren and I were clueless to the ceremony process, but Mary confidently walked us through the process a month before hand over a video call and attended and led our rehearsal. Her professionalism shone through during all of our interactions with her and you can tell she takes great pride in doing what she does and doing it well. Her personality is so bright and calming at the same time, that we were grateful to have her part of our day! She also knew the exact moments when she needed to be seen and heard and which moments were meant to highlight us as a couple and took a step back for photography purposes. Mary, you were a JOY to work with and it was an absolute pleasure to have you, a family friend, perform our ceremony. Thank you for everything you do! We can't recommend Mary enough! September 2023

Mary Collinson made our day flow so beautifully! We had a rather large wedding party, 20 in total including big and little kids. We could not have made it through our day without her. Thank you so much Mary, from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️ August 2023

Words cannot adequately express the gratitude we feel for Mary Collinson, our incredible wedding officiant. Mary's warm and inviting personality immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease during the planning process. She took the time to genuinely get to know us as a couple, listening attentively to our love story, and understanding our vision for the ceremony. It was evident that she was genuinely invested in creating a personalized and heartfelt experience for us and our loved ones. Mary guided us every step of the way, offering valuable suggestions while respecting our unique preferences. On our wedding day, Mary was an oasis of tranquility amidst the whirlwind of emotions. Her words were eloquent and her delivery heartfelt, resonating deeply with our guests, who were moved to tears and laughter throughout the ceremony. We wholeheartedly recommend Mary as a wedding officiant to anyone seeking a truly enchanting ceremony that captures the essence of their love story. We will forever cherish the memories created under her guidance, and we can confidently say that our wedding ceremony was a dream come true, all thanks to the incredible Mary. February 2023

We absolutely loved Mary Collinson! She is such a jovial person. She made us feel comfortable by walking us through the event and her jokes was just a tip of the iceberg!

Zeljko & Ingrid
As far as we are concerned, our wedding day could not have been more perfect with one of the best officiants we have ever encountered! It was a pleasure working with Mary Collinson who helped and informed us on our perfect/imperfect day. Despite the fact that we did not have a rehearsal, she carried out our ceremony so effortlessly and professionally. While nervous, we were still excited for this day, and we believe it was God who chose not only this day, but also allowed me to choose the correct officiant for this momentous occasion. Our marriage process has been full of ups and downs, and many things have changed throughout. However, meeting Mary and choosing her as our officiant was the best decision we could have made. Thanks to Mary, who was there for us on our most special day and made the celebration even more magical! Aug 2021

Mary [Collinson] was the best officiant Katie and I could have asked for. From the very first phone call, Mary made us feel comfortable and supported.

Carly and Lenny
Mary Collinson was an outstanding officiant, she was compassionate and truly a joy to be around. She performed her role efficiently and with confidence. She made the legalities of the ceremony a breeze to handle, getting all the instructions and documents together for us. Mary came prepared, she went above and beyond to hold a spectacular ceremony, we all kept smiling as the rain poured down; it was absolutely beautiful! It was so special that Mary had personal connections to some of our vendors, guests, and the venue, making it feel all the more personal. Thank you Mary! Carly and Lenny August 2020

Ryan & Sara
Mary Collinson was the utmost professional, always punctual, willing to accommodate by working with us when schedules needed to change and patient while explaining the process for our big day. Mary brought calm into a day that, at least for the couple; inherently comes with some stress and a little chaos. Mary’s previous carrier as a teacher and experience as an athletics coach shows through and makes her well suited for directing such an important event. Mary’s attention to detail was impeccable, she even considering wedding colour scheme so as not to wear an outfit which may standout or clash with the wedding party. It was obvious that Mary does not simply want to marry the couple but rather help provide them with the best memories possible. Ryan & Sara September 2019

Jacob & Rebecca
Mary Collinson was absolutely amazing! From the very first call we knew that we made the right decision with our officiant. Her professionalism and knowledge eased our minds. To be honest, we really had no idea what we were doing and Mary helped us with planning out the ceremony and how it would flow. During the rehearsal she was well prepared and had knew exactly what we wanted. Parents and wedding party were included in the rehearsal and she was able to go over every detail for each individual thoroughly. This was a tremendous help and it made the ceremony run smoothly. We could not have had a better ceremony and are so thankful that Mary was apart of it! Jacob & Rebecca August 2019

Mary Collinson far exceeded our expectations! She was warm, kind, friendly and professional! She knew exactly what we needed/wanted and answered all of our questions before we even asked. Just after one phone call I felt like I had known her for years and after meeting her she felt like family. We were very nervous and had no idea what to do or expect and Mary quickly put all our concerns to ease. I am so grateful that she was our Officiant and would highly recommend her to anyone!
