WeddingChaplain's Journal

I am a wedding officiant in Ottawa. Weddings are about our search for Love, Hope and Happiness. Dr. Alan Viau shares wedding ideas and stories based on the over 800 weddings he’s conducted. His useful tips outline things that have gone really well as well as some issues to watch for.

Dr. Viau has been performing weddings and other life celebrations in the capital of Canada, Ottawa, since 2004 with All Seasons Weddings. As a multi-faith, multi-cultural wedding officiant, he works with and crafts a personalized wedding ceremony for the bride and groom. He aims to ensure the ceremony is a true expression of what is in their hearts and respects their heritage.

He has over a decade of experience with live performances. He has been on-stage as a performer in plays, musicals, concerts and operas. He has worked off-stage as artistic director and stage manager. He has designed lighting, sets and sound.

Dr. Viau is married to his Sweetheart of over 30 years and has three wonderfully creative adult children. When not marrying folks, he likes to study yoga and ride his horse.

Wishing you many blessings,

Dr. Alan Viau

My Approach: In crafting a ceremony with you, the couple, I look to the love in your hearts. A wedding is about  celebrating your love & commitment in a way that’s built around you & your lives. It is sharing your joy with your friends and families. The feelings that you express take life in your wedding ceremony by your choices of words and rituals. Your wedding ceremony comes from your hearts and spreads to those gathered with you. I welcome the addition of cultural, religious or spiritual aspects that resonate with you to honor your backgrounds.
