Molly Johnson | Your Wedding Officiant

Born and raised on the infamously friendly Unama'ki (Cape Breton Island), I'm an islander at heart - sociable, resourceful, a believer in community, and keeper of an ever active sense of humour.

Growing up next to the ocean on unceded Mi'kmaq land, a relationship with nature has been a part of me for as long as I can remember and I carry this with me wherever I go.

I am a human who delights in the world around me and if you pass me on the street you'll likely find me smiling - at other humans doing beautiful human things, or maybe just at an elegant rock or particularly chipper bird. 

While the first half of my life was spent on the east coast, the second was spent calling Tkaronto (Toronto) home - until recently when my partner + cat and I began a new chapter in Prince Edward County!

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to make a life on the shores of a great lake, on the rich territory of the Anishinaabeg, Wendat, and Haudenosaunee peoples, and now in relation to the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk) community of Tyendinaga.

I recognize these nations as the ongoing caretakers of this land, and recognize my own role and responsibility as a settler as one grounded in respect, reciprocity, and allied resistance.

Alongside being an officiant, I'm a professional dance artist and for 20+ years have been performing, creating, and writing within the realms of dance and live performance.

I've performed all over the world and in every kind of location and scenario you can imagine - from theatres in Paris, to a street festival in Marrakech, to parks across Ontario, I'm no stranger to being in the spotlight or adapting to new situations.

I bring this creative language to my work as an officiant, alongside a deeply embedded ability to listen and understand what people are looking for.

Whether I'm creating ceremonies or making art, I take great joy in cultivating care and bringing vibes that put folks at ease.

In the space between, I read + garden + cook + eat + think about eating (give me all the tacos), and plan solo adventures in far off places or closer to home.

I am lucky to share life with a very kind fella + sweet cat who sounds like a baby dinosaur and I try to live and act with compassion, a light touch, and gratitude for all this abundance.

The ocean is my heartbeat and I try to visit as often as I can.
