Get to know Okanagan wedding officiant Nan Maxson.
Okanagan, BC
I believe in the power of ceremony to be formative, unitive and to celebrate who you are, where you come from and who you want to be together.
As a wedding officiant, I love getting to know couples, learning why marriage is so important to them, and building community as we extend a couple’s circle of care. Seeing people come together to witness your journey, to love you and to support your relationship is a powerful thing.
When it comes to your wedding ceremony, there are so many ways to find meaning and make memories (that don’t have to be overwhelming!). I can’t wait to get to know you and your story, guide you through your options, and facilitate a ceremony that is meaningful and special to you and your community.
My wish for you on your wedding day is that you feel supported and witnessed as you go through your ceremony, a rite of passage that will fortify your life together. I can’t wait to sit down with you and discover what will make your ceremony most meaningful.
Nan's Story
After a number of friends asked me to officiate their weddings, I got the message that officiating might be the right path for me. I’ve loved celebrating with couples ever since.
In addition to officiating weddings, I am a registered clinical counsellor here in BC. I work with individuals and couples. I am passionate about learning people’s stories and supporting them in meaningful ways.
Outside of work, I love being outside, reading, and pursuing my creative hobbies, such as music, photography, and soap making. I enjoy this time the most when I can also spend it with my partner and our daughter.
