Meet Yevhen & Lyudmila
Yevhen Natalenko
Yevhen’s journey into officiating began in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 2012 — quite unexpectedly. While working as a sound engineer for a wedding officiant, he stepped in at the last minute to officiate a double-booked ceremony. That moment changed everything. What started as helping “save the day” quickly grew into a full-time passion and career.
With over 12 years of experience and more than 1,000 weddings officiated, Yevhen is known for his calm presence, creative approach, and exceptional attention to detail. His background includes officiating weddings, hosting corporate events, concerts, private celebrations, and public ceremonies, all delivered with confidence and care. Couples value his deep knowledge of traditions, his ability to create a unified atmosphere, and his commitment to crafting a ceremony that truly reflects their vision.
Yevhen is fluent in Ukrainian and Russian, with English soon to follow, and is happy to travel to officiate weddings. When he’s not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife, their two children, outdoor adventures, travelling, cars, singing, and their beloved Yorkshire Terrier, Zhorik.
Lyudmila Natalenko
Lyudmila brings creativity, elegance, and emotional depth to every ceremony she officiates. Before immigrating to Canada from Ukraine in 2022, she built a successful career in Kyiv as both a wedding officiant and professional sound engineer. Working alongside Yevhen, she became known for her harmonious collaboration, professionalism, and ability to capture the unique personalities and stories of each couple.
Lyudmila thrives on creating moments of joy, inspiration, and meaning. Her natural warmth and storytelling ability allow couples and guests alike to feel deeply connected to the ceremony. She finds her greatest fulfillment in organizing and officiating weddings that are personal, heartfelt, and beautifully memorable.
A loving wife and mother of two, Lyudmila is passionate about her work and excited to continue doing what she loves most — helping couples celebrate one of the most important days of their lives.
