Wedding Packages
As a Licensed Wedding Officiant I look forward to working together with you to help create a memorable and inspirational ceremony. I am here to assist you in any way I can, so don't hesitate to contact me, and I will do my best to answer your questions and help guide you in creating the ceremony of your dreams.
I am committed to creating and delivering wedding ceremonies that are personal, passionate and professional. I invite you to participate in preparing your ceremony by writing your own vows and ceremony elements or by selecting from my library, which overs a diversity of choices.
The Elopement / Legalize It!
The Elopement / Legalize it package is the perfect package if you are planning a destination wedding and want to take care of the legal paperwork in advance, if you need a marriage certificate for legal reasons, or if you just want to get it done without a lot of fanfare. A perfect alternative to city hall weddings.
The legal parts of the ceremony are completed to meet the Ontario Marriage Act, and the paperwork is quickly and easily completed. Bring your marriage license and two witnesses to a location selected in advance. All required legal paperwork will be completed and sent in for registration by me. This option can include a basic ring ceremony and vows if requested but does not include any ceremony customization.
This Package Includes:
Phone/email contact
Virtual Meeting (if required)
Completion and Filing of Paperwork
Up to 10 Guests (including couple and witnesses)
Officiant arrival 10 minutes prior to Ceremony
$300.00
Full Service / Custom Ceremony
The Full Service / Custom Ceremony is the way to go if your ceremony is more involved: bigger wedding party, the inclusion of additions (unity candle, sand ceremony, etc), cultural elements, multiple speakers, involvement of children, or if you simply want to personalize your ceremony text to suit you both.
After booking an initial consultation takes place to discuss the legal requirements for getting married in Ontario and a discussion of your wedding ceremony options. This is typically done via telephone or on a Zoom meeting.
Unlimited phone consultations, emailing and Zoom meetings prior to your ceremony date are included. You are required to bring your wedding licence and have two witnesses at your ceremony. All required legal paperwork will be completed and sent in for registration by me.
This Package Includes:
Phone/email contact
