Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant and Wedding Officiant

06/01/2026

Every wedding I officiate is a reminder that love flourishes when people feel safe enough to be their true selves.

While my role is to celebrate a single day, organizations like Skipping Stone are doing the important work of helping 2SLGBTQIA+ people live authentically every day. Supporting that work feels like a natural extension of my belief that everyone deserves to live and love openly, safely, and without fear.

For the entire month of June, I’ll be donating 10% of my profits to Skipping Stone, an organization here in Alberta that provides advocacy, education, and community for two-spirit, trans and gender-diverse people and their families.

Happy Pride Month. 🏳️‍🌈

Sharing this again as I know so many 2026 couples are considering writing personalized vows and unsure where to start!

Personalized vows are such a beautiful addition to your wedding ceremony. If you have booked me for your ceremony in 2026 you will receive my vow writing to sheet, with even more ideas and prompts to get your thoughts onto paper.

I keep a five-year journal, which means every day I write a small note on the same page, year after year. If I’ve married you, your anniversary will be on those pages, which always prompts me to pause, think of you, and put a little hope into the universe that you’re well.

Catching up on my journal recently brought me back to this beautiful ceremony last February. K + B were absolute troopers in –20° weather, and their ceremony was filled with so much emotion and love. It was magical to witness. Captured beautifully by

If you peek at my Instagram, you might think all I do are epic, outdoorsy elopements 🌲✨
But I love indoor ceremonies just as much, and they can be every bit as magical.

This ceremony was originally planned for outdoors, but the weather had other ideas. Thanks to an incredibly smooth last-minute pivot by , we moved into the backup indoor space, and honestly, I’m so glad we did.

More than half of E and O’s guests didn’t speak English, so a dear friend of theirs agreed to translate the ceremony into Cantonese. I’d say a few lines, then Dusty would translate. Yes, it made the ceremony a little longer, but it made it so much more meaningful. It was also fun to have a co-officiant up there, and Dusty did an incredible job.

I truly believe it’s important that everyone present understands what’s happening, because the ceremony is the whole reason for all of this. It’s the big moment. And having everyone warm, comfortable, and fully included made it even more special 💛

Hi, I’m Molly 👋 the human behind Alpenglow Ceremonies. I’m a born-and-raised Canmore local who loves playing in the mountains. For the last two years, I’ve been building my celebrant practice alongside a 9-5 day job, doing ceremonies on evenings and weekends and working pretty much all hours of the day to make it happen 😅.

In 2026, I’m looking forward to more work/life balance as I step full-time into ceremony work. This is truly work that fuels my soul, and I’m grateful I followed the subtle pulls and signs from the universe over the years: because they led me here.

I’m figuring out how to have a “business” as I go, and I’m no boss babe by any stretch of the word. My business plan is basically: follow your heart ❤️ and so far, that’s been working out for me.

I create ceremonies that hold space for the most important liminal moments of your life, and it is my absolute honour to do so. I’ve always been interested in the ways people find meaning in life, so taking the time to truly get to know you is an important part of my process.

I have the best friends and family in the world, they make my life so joyful. I have the sweetest, most thoughtful husband. I’m an eternal optimist who believes everything will work out, even in the hardest, darkest moments of life. And I believe deeply in the power of love to heal our world ☺️

Thank you for being here. If you’re getting married soon and want a ceremony that speaks to what truly matters to you, I’d love to connect. I look forward to meeting you 🌟

Merry Christmas, dear ones. 🤍

As this year gently comes to a close, I keep finding myself thinking about the trust you placed in me, inviting me into some of the most meaningful moments of your lives.

From tear filled vows to laughter that echoed across mountains and lakes, it has been an honour beyond words to stand with you as you promised yourselves to one another. Your stories, your tenderness, your courage to love out loud, I carry it all with me.

To every couple who welcomed me in, who shared their nerves, their joy, their tears, and their hopes for what’s ahead: thank you. This work is sacred to me because of you.

However you’re marking today, in celebration or in stillness, with full tables or in deep rest, I hope you feel deeply held and deeply loved.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with warmth, ease, and moments that bring you joy.

Hi! I took a vacation but kept it local. I’ll never take for granted that both these magical places are basically in my backyard. If anyone ever wants to get married at mount Assiniboine or lake o’hara, please let me know!! ☺️❤️
