hey there!
i'm james latour, your ceremony celebrant. my philosophy? your ceremony should be as awesome and authentic as your story. no stiff formalities here—just pure joy, genuine emotion, and maybe a few tears (the good kind!).
my path to becoming an officiant has been a pretty wild ride. i grew up in a super conservative tradition, but i eventually realized it wasn't my true north. so, i bravely stepped out and embraced a life guided by openness, compassion, authenticity, and inclusivity. and guess what? that's the vibe i bring to every single ceremony i officiate.
of course, i’m a pro - also licensed to make marriages legal in stunning british columbia! but more than that, i’m here to ensure your ceremony - whatever the occasion - feels intentionally personal, reflects your values, and is packed with laughter, warmth, and joy—no boxes, no pretending, just pure, unadulterated you.
seriously, i absolutely love what i do. i have the best job ever. I can't wait to connect with you, hear your adventures, and dream up a ceremony that's as unique as you are!!

I can't express enough how amazing James was for our ceremony! The whole process was a breeze, and he hit every beat perfectly. For two people who had no idea how to organize anything, James guided us through it all — and our guests agreed he was the only man for the job. Thank you again, James — you helped make our day truly unforgettable!

james was so easy to work with and highly organized from beginning to end! on our wedding day, my husband was very nervous standing up waiting at the altar, but he told me that as soon as james started talking to him, he instantly felt calm and at ease. many of our guests commented on how charismatic he was, and one even said he felt like he'd known him for 20 years listening to him tell our story. if you choose james for your special day, you will not be disappointed!
spoiler alert: they’d do it all over again.
