Officiant
Vancity Officiant
Based in: Vancouver, BCService Areas: Metro Vancouver · Fraser Valley · Sea to Sky
Vancity Officiant is a Vancouver-based wedding officiant team led by Kit and Kevin, offering wedding ceremonies, intimate elopements, legal marriage signings and Chinese tea ceremonies across Metro Vancouver. In English, Cantonese and Mandarin, they guide couples through traditions and styles, from legal signings to personalized celebrations.
Why They’re Beyond Pet Friendly
As the founders of Pawfect Witness™, Kit and Kevin believe that welcoming animals into weddings begins with understanding their place in a couple's life. Their approach recognizes the relationship beyond an animal's physical presence, whether they attend the ceremony, remain at home, or are remembered after their passing.
Venue

The Ensora is Vancity Officiant's private indoor ceremony space in Richmond, BC, specializing in legal marriage signings and intimate wedding celebrations.

Why They’re Beyond Pet Friendly
The Ensora considers each animal's comfort, individual needs, and relationship with the couple. Its private ceremony space allows dogs, cats, and other companions to stay close to their people, with flexibility for natural behaviour and participation without pressure. Animals are considered part of the celebration, not simply permitted to attend.
