The Kettle Creek Weddings Story:
Kettle Creek Weddings (KCW) was founded by Rosanne and Wayne Prevett in 2000. Prior to founding KCW Rosanne and Wayne spent 6 years offering humanitarian assistance in the city of St Thomas where they live. After 6 years of life changing service providing free weekly meals, a lunch program for children, a very successful co-op, and so much more their focus began to change from meeting physical needs to providing service to people who were in need of someone to officiate their common rites of passage. In 2003 they decided to commit themselves to making this a full time venture and performed 187 weddings that first year. Since it's inception Kettle Creek Weddings has expanded into other regions, trained and developed new team members, opened offices in major Canadian Regions and can boast a world class web site. In the last seven years, Wayne and Rosanne along with their team of associates have performed over 2500 weddings.

Our Foundation:
The foundation of all we do at Kettle Creek Weddings is our passion to see lives transformed. We are convinced from our own relationship that marriage can be and should be the greatest thing going. To that end we are committed to investing into each couples lives. Kettle Creek Weddings is based on the same principles and practices of our not-for profit incorporated religious charity called Celebrating Life. We know that many people who do not have a faith community are in need of an ordained Minister (Officiant) to perform their wedding ceremony, because in Ontario there are no marriage commissionaires to do this as there are in other provinces. We are ordained ministers who are licensed to perform wedding ceremonies through government recognized denominations. We started Celebrating Life in 2001, and its purpose is to help people to celebrate and navigate life's transitions, such as weddings, funerals, baby dedications, marriage counseling and many other family life issues. Over the past few years we have assisted thousands of families and couples Celebrate Life.
