Other than her own words, Francesca can help you create your wedding vows and has an eye for suggesting significant additions to your wedding script, such as welcoming family members, friends and pets into the ceremony, exploring different ceremonial traditions or honouring someone who cannot attend the ceremony.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
All Expressions of Love

Weddings With Woof
Incorporating pups in the ceremony is one of Francesca's specialties. Her love and understanding of dogs comes from the special bond she has with the furry love of her life, Zoya! She believes that the deep connection you have with your dog adds tremendous joy to your wedding day. Watching your fur-babies happily bound down the aisle will undoubtedly warm our hearts! Even if your pet cannot attend, Francesca has a fabulous way of intergrating your pup in the ceremony.

A Celestial Ceremony Experience
A True Gift - Katie & Renan Share from their Hearts
"As we reflect on our wedding day, one truth remains undeniable – Francesca's impact on our celebration was profound and everlasting. Her presence added an irreplaceable dimension of love, joy, and meaning to our union. From start to finish, she demonstrated not only her skill as a wedding celebrant but also her genuine passion for creating unforgettable moments.
From the moment we connected with her, her genuine warmth and infectious joy made us feel like old friends. Francesca's exceptional organizational skills and unwavering professionalism further solidified our trust in her abilities. Francesca's words were like poetry. Her ability to craft and deliver a ceremony that resonated with us on such a profound level was incredible. Her heartfelt words weren't just spoken; they were felt by every soul present, creating an atmosphere of love and connection that will forever remain etched in our memories.
One of the most heartwarming aspects of our experience with Francesca was her collaboration with Ren's stepfather. Being new to the role of guiding the ceremony, he needed guidance and support. Francesca stepped in with her innate grace and patience, nurturing his confidence and ensuring that he flawlessly contributed to our special day. Her dedication to making everyone feel comfortable and valued is a testament to her character.
Francesca's enthusiasm for incorporating our best dog Apollo, as the ring bearer was so wonderful. The sight of Apollo trotting down the aisle with the rings was so moving. Meeting Francesca's own doggie, Zoya was a delight! It was a charming reminder of the special bond that humans share with their four-legged friends.
Francesca's warmth, organization, and remarkable ability to evoke emotions through words make her an extraordinary wedding celebrant. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for the role she played in making our day so incredibly special. The memories she helped us create will forever be cherished, and we can confidently say that anyone who has the privilege of working with her is truly blessed."

Truthfully it felt like a natural evolution of my purpose in the world of supporting & holding space for others. Plus I LOVE wedding dresses (you will understand this once we meet-haha) & celebrating LOVE is the best!
Yes, I am legally licensed through C.I.M.M. and under the Ontario Marriage Act. The Ontario data catalogue shares the full list of active legal Ontario wedding officiants.
After the ceremony, I will file your marriage licence with the province so your marriage can be legally registered. I’ll also send very clear notes on how to order your official wedding Certificate should you choose to request one.
If you are looking for a personalized, heartfelt approach with lots of flexibility, an officiant is the way to go. I have come to learn that so many people do not even know this option exists. I cannot count how many times I've heard, "wow, I wish we knew about you instead of getting married at xyz. It was so stale, cold and boring. It did not seem like they cared about us as a couple".
An officiant, who takes their vocation seriously and authentically will ensure that your wedding, be it in a backyard, a park under a tree or your favourite diner, feels special, reflecting who you are as a couple.
Love is love! Having had a plethora of experiences means I have a great understanding of the best way for us to create a seamless and flowing wedding ceremony. A paperwork, elopement, a more intimate wedding or a grand space, every wedding ceremony is created to match each couple's vision. I am well versed in creating ceremonies for multicultural, interfaith, LBGTQ+ and neurodiverse couples, plus combinations of these elements as well. I welcome each couple with an open heart and mind. Incorporating cultural rituals, fusions or creating something unique lights me up.
I am licensed to officiate weddings anywhere in the province. I prefer to stick closer to downtown Toronto and happily send my team to venues across Ontario.
I am incredibly mindful of timeliness in responding to couples. I am open to emails at francescabonta@gmail.com or texts to 647-213-5838. You can also choose to contact me via the contact form on my website.
