Originally from Montreal, Lise Leroux has lived a third of her life each in Canada, the US, and the UK, and has never been very good at staying in one lane. A writer, officiant, and facilitator, she works at the intersection of ceremony, communication, and human behaviour—often in places that make other people slightly nervous.
Afraid of heights (and unwilling to let fear win), Lise completed over six hundred skydives, including parachuting into her own wedding—an event that ended with an unexpected landing on a sheep and a much more predictable divorce. Her work has taken her from corporate training rooms to prisons, cruise ships, and wedding cliffsides, and her writing has been praised for its dark humour, emotional intelligence, and refusal to behave itself. She is currently writing Beyond Happily Ever After, a book about relationships, communication, and what happens after the fairy tale.
What I’m Known For
In all areas of what I do, I combine elements of ceremony, creativity, communication, and learning—often where things matter most.
- Non-traditional weddings and ceremonies
- Pre and post wedding experience activities
- Relationship and communication coaching
- Corporate and community facilitation
- Published writing (print, stage, online)
- Mental-health-informed training
- International experience (Canada · US · UK)
How I Work
I’m interested in work that is thoughtful, honest, and useful. Whether I’m designing a ceremony, facilitating a training session, or writing a book, I care about communication, clarity and connection – meeting people where they actually are—not where they think they “should” be.
Short Backstory
My work is shaped by a life that hasn’t followed a straight line—by movement across countries, careers, and identities, and by a long-standing curiosity about how people make meaning when certainty falls apart. If you’re looking for something thoughtful, a little unconventional, and grounded in real experience, you’re in the right place.
You can explore my work through weddings, writing, training—or start with what brings you here.
