Karen Stocker- Serving Niagara and surrounding areas

Love is the strongest and most uplifting force in the world, and I am dedicated to connecting people who are truly in love and ready to embark on the beautiful journey of marriage. I approach each ceremony with heartfelt creativity, ensuring that every couple’s story is celebrated in a way that is both personal and unforgettable.

I am originally from Fort Erie and now reside in St Catharines with my husband Dave for 35 wonderful years and our dog Mulan. Together we raised 5 children and now enjoy 4 grandchildren. With a lifelong career of hairstyling and entrepreneurship, I opened my first hair salon at just 19 years old and went on to own and operate multiple successful salons; creating beauty and confidence for countless clients. As a master hair colourist my expertise extends beyond everyday styling — I have been a part of many wedding parties ensuring brides look and feel their very best on their special day. Now, as a wedding officiant, I have the honour of uniting couples in love.

As a past president of Honeymoon City Toastmasters, I have honed my skills in communication and leadership. I have also facilitated seminars and workshops, sharing my knowledge and experience to inspire and uplift others. My passion for storytelling led me to write and publish a book called “From the Hairdresser’s Chair”, a collection of short stories gathered from the incredible experiences shared in my salon chair. I also worked for Weight Watchers for 10 years as a leader and coach, inspiring others to achieve a healthier lifestyle and foster personal growth. Additionally I volunteered for a pet rescue, fostering dogs, a cause close to my heart. I embrace life’s adventures riding my motorcycle and spending most of my winters in Florida enjoying the warm weather, biking, swimming and boating.

I look forward to the journey with you both, whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand celebration. It would be my privilege to craft a ceremony that reflects your love story creating cherished memories as you begin your new life together.
