About Kerstin

I bring heart, heritage, and a touch of Celtic tradition to life’s most meaningful moments. As an Ontario-certified Humanist Officiant, I specialize in creating personalized wedding and funeral ceremonies that honour your story - while weaving in a little bit of magic.
My roots span the Celtic world: Swedish by ancestry, raised in the UK and Australia, and married to a Scotsman, I’m deeply immersed in Celtic traditions. One of my specialties is handfasting - an ancient Celtic ritual where couples’ hands are bound with ribbons, symbolizing unity and commitment.
Whether you’re looking for a classic ceremony, a unique cultural touch, or an inclusive LGBTQ+-friendly celebration, I’ll craft a ceremony that reflects your values, your love, and your vision. Let’s make your day unforgettable!

Note that I can conduct both wedding and funeral ceremonies in Japanese, or a mix of English and Japanese.
