Few of us enjoy asking for favours, affirmation, or extra scoops of ice cream. I know, I'm one of them. But here I am anyway.
I made it to the finalist round for Best Wedding Officiant in the Best of Kelowna 2026 awards, and the final voting round is open now through May 12. Kelowna has an incredible group of wedding officiants, and I'm honestly honoured to be among them. But the only way this works is if the people who know my work show up, and that's you.
I've spent the last seven years officiating weddings in the Okanagan, and I'm currently writing a book about how couples can help their relationships last, because what inspires two people to get married should also help them stay that way. This community is a big part of what drives that work.
If you've been to a wedding I officiated, you're a couple I've had the privilege of marrying (or you're about to be!), or you've just always had inexplicably good taste, I would love your vote.
Here's how:
1. Google "Best of Kelowna 2026 voting"
2. Log in or create a free account
3. Find Wedding Officiant under Entertainment, Events & Tourism
4. Vote for Lise Leroux or Reimagine Celebrations
5. Save your vote
That's it. Two minutes. And I will be honestly grateful. It means that what I love doing is actually working.
