Ceremonies by Design

Last reviewed: August 2, 2026. Availability unconfirmed. Review pending.

Couples researching Ceremonies by Design wedding officiant in Victoria, BC should treat this listing as an identity-checking resource rather than a confirmed booking page. A current first-person biography for Susan Blackwood on the RestSure website says that she developed Ceremonies by Design and created ceremonies for marriages and other life transitions. However, that page discusses the venture historically and does not confirm that Ceremonies by Design is currently accepting weddings.

Canada Wedding Guide could not establish a current dedicated website, verified wedding-booking page, official business address or current telephone number for Ceremonies by Design. The Facebook URL previously attached to the listing did not provide enough accessible first-party evidence to confirm the present identity or operating status. The profile therefore remains review pending as of August 2, 2026.

Identity and evidence status

Susan Blackwood’s current RestSure biography provides the clearest first-party connection. It directly names Ceremonies by Design, identifies it as a Victoria life-cycle ceremony venture begun in 2011 and describes marriage ceremonies among her past work. The biography also lists her training as a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant and her role as a Reverend with the Canadian International Metaphysical Ministry.

This evidence establishes a historical relationship between Susan and the named business, but it does not establish a current Ceremonies by Design wedding operation. RestSure is an end-of-life-focused organization, not a confirmed official domain for this wedding business.

Services and specialization

Susan’s first-person biography says that her ceremony work included marriages, funerals, life celebrations, interment and burial rites, end-of-life transitions and personal ceremonies. She describes developing ceremonies that honoured a client’s beliefs and values and taking her direction from the client.

Those statements document the approach associated with Ceremonies by Design historically. They do not confirm which wedding formats, rehearsals, vow-writing assistance, consultations or legal-document services are offered now. Such details should not be inferred from older directory listings.

Service area and who it may suit

The first-party biography identifies Ceremonies by Design as a Victoria venture. No current official Ceremonies page was found confirming a present travel radius, Greater Victoria coverage or service elsewhere on Vancouver Island.

If the business is still taking wedding bookings, its documented client-led ceremony approach may be relevant to couples seeking wording shaped around their beliefs and values. Couples should first confirm that Susan currently performs legal marriages and travels to their chosen municipality or venue.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

The strongest documented feature is Susan’s own description of an individualized, values-led ceremony process. Her biography also provides named celebrant and ministry credentials rather than relying solely on an anonymous directory description.

The practical limitation is the absence of a current official wedding-service page. Availability, ceremony packages, geographic coverage, legal authorization for the wedding date, contact details and operating status all remain unverified. This is missing evidence, not evidence that the business has closed.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. No confirmed first-party Ceremonies by Design page was found listing wedding packages, deposits, rehearsals, travel charges, taxes, cancellation terms or payment schedules.

Prices shown by unrelated Victoria officiants are not evidence of this company’s rates. Couples who establish a valid contact should request a written quote stating everything included and any additional charges tied to travel, parking, ferries, rehearsals or ceremony revisions.

Contact and booking

Canada Wedding Guide could not verify a current official wedding email address, telephone number, street address or booking form for Ceremonies by Design. For that reason, the unverified legacy contact details have not been republished in the structured fields.

The RestSure contact channel should not automatically be treated as a wedding-booking channel. Before sharing personal information or paying a deposit, couples should obtain direct confirmation from Susan that the contact belongs to the current Ceremonies by Design operation and request a written service agreement.

What couples should confirm

Before relying on this listing, ask for current first-party confirmation of the following practical details:

These checks are especially important because the available first-party material establishes Susan’s background but does not document a current wedding offering.

• Whether Ceremonies by Design is currently accepting weddings.
• The officiant’s current authorization to solemnize marriages in British Columbia.
• Availability for the exact ceremony date, time and venue.
• The ceremony format, level of personalization and number of revisions included.
• Whether a rehearsal, marriage registration and travel are included.
• The full price, deposit, cancellation terms and contingency arrangements.
• A current business email, telephone number and written agreement.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ceremonies by Design currently accepting wedding bookings?

That could not be confirmed from a current official Ceremonies by Design website or booking page. The business remains review pending rather than being described as active or closed.

Is Susan Blackwood connected with Ceremonies by Design?

Yes, in a limited historical sense. Susan’s first-person biography on RestSure says she developed Ceremonies by Design and identifies it as a Victoria life-cycle ceremony business begun in 2011. The page does not confirm that she currently accepts wedding bookings under that name.

Does Ceremonies by Design publish current wedding prices?

No current first-party price list was found. Couples should request an itemized written quote directly from a verified representative if a legitimate current contact is established.

Is there a verified Ceremonies by Design address or phone number?

No. Canada Wedding Guide did not find a current official Ceremonies page substantiating a postal address or wedding-booking telephone number, so those fields have been left blank.
