Joanna Polley
In our contemporary world, marriage is one of the few places left where we get to step out of our daily lives and take the time to reflect on and articulate our values and commitments. To do so is to participate in a fundamentally human ritual, one that not only symbolizes finding joy in relationship but that also sets us out on a path to a life lived more consciously. As a philosopher, I help couples articulate what this ritual means to them, and creatively reflect that in a ceremony both uniquely personal and universally resonant.

I have worked in the wedding industry for over 10 years. I've done Catering, Planning, Serving, Bartending, Set-Up, Tear- Down, Florals, Wedding Cakes and Event Design. I thought I had touched it all, until I realized I have never officiated. Throughout the last many years, I have realized that my favorite part of each wedding, without a doubt, is the ceremony. I watch each ceremony with blurred eyes, thinking of the connection each couple has with one another, and remembering all of the good in this world. It is my sincere privilege to now be able to provide officating services to our couples here at my own Wedding Venue, as well as across Ontario. To get to share in that moment is truly such a gift.

Celebrating people as they are runs through my heart, from my own interfaith family of culturally diverse, queer, and gender-fluid folks, to my professional career as a host and producer of programming that aims to heighten social consciousness. I have hosted thousands of special events and ceremonies in my 25+ year career, and when people ask me, “What will make our ceremony unique?”, the answer is always the same, “YOU”. Your journey, and your story, IS special, and I would consider it an honour and privilege to be a part of your memorable milestone. We will work together to customize a ceremony that speaks to you, from your hearts to the hearts of others. From sentimental to emotional and/or religious to agnostic and/or comedic to uplifting, we can make sure it speaks to you and YOUR values. My professional bio starts with a mention of having won a Canadian Screen Award for my work as host and producer of the show 'Small Talk' on CBC, but it ends with a mention of how people can connect with me outside of work, because I think human connection is everything. Thank you for considering inviting me to be a part of your special experience, and I would be humbled to be a small part of this chapter in the story of your life. It means a lot, so thank you, and congratulations!”
