Okanagan Wedding Officiant
In Grade 12 for my final English project - where you could choose anything in the whole wide world - I chose weddings. I have always loved love and desired to learn more about why we choose to partner. I researched the significance, the history and the traditions. I held a mock wedding on the lawn of my high school.
Over the course of my life, I’ve been a bridesmaid a dozen times, a Maid of Honour three times, an adult flower girl once 😂🌸, the MC a few times and I’ve stood in front of my friends and their families and conducted the wedding ceremony.
After a two year dive into A Course in Miracles, I became Reverend Tamara McLellan ✨a Metaphysical Minister.
I am stoked about living an enchanted + romantic life and one of the ways we bring enchantment in is through magical declarations of love. I focus on small weddings with BIG heart. We bring deep reverence into the ceremony. Marriage is sacred. Committment is b i g.
And, I’ll also do Self Marriage ceremonies, Vow Renewals and Coming Out Ceremonies…and more✌️
The ceremony was everything we could have imagined and much more!

Tamara was one of the first people I connected with when I was thinking about dates for my wedding! She connected early, reassuring me that the stars would be aligned on our big day. We both got a series of questions that she used to weave our individual words into the ceremony. It brought beautiful spirituality while respecting my husband's asks of brevity and "not too much woo". She gracefully integrated into our day and sent us a chart and reading for our day afterwards! I would trust Tamara with any ceremony in my life.

Just doing some reflecting on our lovely elopement and I am so grateful you were part of our big day. I felt so comfortable with you as if you were a friend I already knew. I wish you all the best and appreciate the role you played for us in that moment.

Enchanted Weddings
I want everyone to have the chance to live life like it is a sacred, living ceremony. Getting married can be a beautiful way to honour that.
Our wedding culture is focused on the dress, venue, flowers and food. We need the reverence back in this life giving ritual. The sacred intimacy, the connection with witnesses and feeling seen and heard by our village are important ingredients to a long successful marriage.
I want to work with you to create an enchanted ceremony.
Let'‘s create magic for your wedding, partnership ceremony or vow renewals.
Self Marriage
Here’s the thing. We are sovereign beings experiencing lives of interconnectedness. I see a lot of people getting married who aren’t truly committed to themselves. It takes a level of devotion inward to be able to hold space for an outer commitment. I do think this is a big reason why we see many relationships that don’t work.
Can you accept all of who you are? Do you allow yourself full radical expression and freedom for ALL the parts of you?
I hear a lot of people say, 'heal yourself before committing to another' but the truth is that you can't fully heal without "the Other"and the lessons that come from intimacy. We only have to be willing to be with all the parts of ourselves - and when times are hard to be willing to look inside and clean up our side of the street.
Part of my work is to celebrate the Sacred Marriage of all of our parts. It’s uniting the Masculine and Feminine, the Chaos + Eros within.
If you’re interested, let me guide you to a Self Marriage ceremony of your own. This takes an hour long Zoom call with references provided by moi to help you plan your own committment. It's $111 and you can email hello@wildbreath.ca to register.
