Yes. The Wedding Ceremony as written, does not reference any particular religion or spiritual belief.

If you are interested in incorporating religious or cultural elements into your wedding ceremony, I’m here to help. Let’s connect and discuss how we can weave these traditions into your special day, creating a ceremony that reflects your love, values, and heritage.

The first step is to get in touch with me. You can do this by filling out my contact form or by phone. Tell me a bit about your wedding, venue and date. I will then let you know if I am available. Once I have the important details, I will email you a Booking Information document that outlines our agreement. To secure your Wedding date and time, I require a non-refundable deposit of $150.

The preferred method of payment is through e-transfers. I will also accept cash, cheque and PayPal payments. A deposit of $150 is required at the time of booking. The final balance is due one week before the wedding day.

Writing your own vows allows you to speak from the heart and share your deepest feelings and promises with each other and your guests. It’s a chance to make your wedding ceremony truly unique and meaningful, reflecting your love story and your vision for your future together. I will provide resources and support to help you craft your vows. Your vows are to be submitted to me at least one week prior to your wedding. I print your vows on cards for you to read at the ceremony.

In some cases, couples are ready to book right away after our initial conversations. Other couples prefer to meet first. If this is your wish, I am happy to accommodate by scheduling a ‘meet and greet’ opportunity either in person or via video chat. Once booked, and closer to your wedding day, I will reach out to schedule your ‘pre-wedding’ meeting. At this meeting we will review your wedding ceremony details and do a read through of the ceremony together.

A friend can perform a symbolic ceremony for you; however, this ceremony is not legally binding and cannot be registered with the Province. In order to have a legal marriage, you need to have your wedding ceremony performed by a licensed Wedding Officiant. There are two ways to do this.

First we can arrange a meeting prior to your wedding day to conduct the Streamlined Legal ceremony; this ceremony only takes a few minutes and will satisfy all legal requirements. You are then free to have your friend perform a public symbolic ceremony on your wedding day.

The second option is to have your friend co-officiate with me on your wedding day. Your friend will perform the non-legal aspects of the ceremony while I perform the required legal elements. This will satisfy the provincial regulations. An additional fee will be added to the ceremony price to account for the extra time involved with the planning of the ceremony. A rehearsal is also required.

Absolutely! I perform wedding ceremonies for all couples. Love is love and I am honoured to be a part of celebrating the commitment and love shared between two people.

Yes, I can assist with getting two witnesses. An additional fee will be charged for their services. Advance notice is required.

In Ontario, obtaining a marriage license is a necessary step before you can legally marry. Locate a municipal office or city hall in Ontario where you can apply for your marriage license. You don’t need to apply in the municipality where you live or where your wedding will take place; you can apply at any municipal office in the province. I recommend contacting the office ahead of time to book your appointment. Only one person needs to attend the appointment, however original documents for both parties are required. Well in advance of the time frame for getting your license, make sure you have all necessary documents available. It can take some time to apply for and receive replacement documents from government agencies. The Marriage License is valid for 90 days from the time of issue. I recommend that couples set this priority 6 – 8 weeks prior to the ceremony date.

I will do my best to accommodate your request. Wedding ceremony dates and times are reserved on a first come, first served basis. Once I receive your deposit and confirm your booking, your requested date and time are reserved for you. If you need to change your wedding date or time you will need to contact me in writing, as soon as possible. Please understand that in some cases I will not be able to accommodate the change at which point I will retain the $150 deposit and return any other money which had been paid to me.
