All people deserve to feel and experience love and being loved. Although same sex marriage ceremonies for gay & lesbian couples have been legally permitted in Ontario since 2003, despite all the media controversy, the simple reality is that few same sex marriages have actually occurred since then. Presently, about 10% of the ceremonies Lynne and Keith Langille perform each year in the Ottawa area are for gay couples, so having designed and delivered over 50 same sex ceremonies, they've likely been at and seen far more gay & lesbian weddings than most people in the Ottawa area.

In breaking new ground, each ceremony that Lynne and Keith perform is another opportunity to establish new traditions that borrow from the old yet find new forms of expression. Whether it's two brides or two grooms, with each new same sex ceremony that Lynne and Keith officiate, they have built up an appreciation of the unique issues that should be addressed in order to ensure the complete satisfaction for all. As with conventional ceremonies, no two are alike and Lynne and Keith strive to help you find the balance that is appropriate for the two of you and your guests.

As more same sex couples come forward to formalize their relationships, they expect to add to the growing resource base they now offer. Lynne and Keith have a far more comprehensive selection of gay and gender neutral ceremony scripts to review than you will find from almost any other officiant in Ontario or Quebec. Lynne or Keith will be delighted to assist you.

If your wedding is scheduled to occur any time within June to November period, you are advised to contact Lynne or Keith about your specific requirements as early as possible, given the significantly increased demand for their services. Contact them either by by phone at (613) 831-7555 or inquire by e-mail at Keith@ExceptionalCeremonies.com to secure a reservation for your preferred ceremony date & time.
