Carmen Barnett
Winnipeg Marriage Commissioner 

I'm a professional communicator-turned Marriage Commissioner.

For twenty years, I've helped people find the right words for some of life's biggest moments and guided them through with calm and confidence. Now I pour my experience into designing personal, meaningful and unforgettable ceremonies as a wedding officiant and the owner of Brick & Vow Urban Elopements. 

 

As a professional writer, I've written thousands of keynote speeches and have ghostwritten memoir and articles for clients. I served as a public speaking advisor for local leaders and I also and perform on stage. I write for emotion, clarity and for how it shapes the environment when spoken. 

 

I've planned hundreds of events across Winnipeg, and can help navigate bookings, permits, and find your ideal location if you're still looking. I care deeply about the small and unexciting details, so you don't need to worry about them. 

 

I built an extraordinary ceremony script library, all professionally written in-house and write custom scripts , wedding speeches, and vows for couples, their families and officiants around the world. We can build you something unique, or select any one from my library. 

​

I officiate weddings, civil ceremonies, simple ceremonies, and my services are always included with Brick & Vow elopement packages. 

​

Don't hesitate to connect with me, even if all you have are questions for now. I'm always happy to help.
