about: sondra richardson

I am a Ceremony Designer, contemporary Metaphysical Minister, a certified Celebrant, licensed BC Marriage Officiant, a lover of love and a lover of life, and all it encompasses!

I’m inspired by people; their cultures, their customs, their stories, their lives. I am a LGBTQ2-ally, and have a deep respect for individual lifestyle, beliefs and choices.

I’m also a painter, a designer, a storywriter, a crafty-thing-maker & repurposed-stuff-creator. I’m a philanthropist, a trial-by-error gardener, an experimental cook, a thrift-store-vintage-treasure-hunting-junkie, a traveler, an adventurer, a happy wife and doggy-mama, and last but not least, an exuberant human and frequent laugher… who’s crazy about licorice and salt & vinegar chips – together or separate.

With over a decade of ‘Celebranting’, I feel fortunate to do what I love, and truly love what I do, and consider it an privilege to be spreading the love by creating and performing personalized one-of-a-kind ceremonies that commemorate & celebrate love and life for all people, all beliefs.
