It is my goal that each ceremony enables individuals to feel important, valued and connected to family and community, and that it validates and mark the individual’s growth and their meeting of life goals. Each service also complies with the laws of the Province of Ontario.

 

TYPES OF CEREMONIES:

Custom Ceremony: 

• up to 2 meetings

  • the first to understand what you want from your wedding, your vision, the style, the length of the service and the intended tone of the ceremony.

    • Your input of content, stories and traditions are welcome but optional. This can include a summary of your story as a couple.

  • The second meeting is a talk through of your ceremony, going through the whole thing to know who does what when.

    • legal paperwork and the follow through to obtain your legal proof of marriage

Classic Ceremony: 

• one meeting 

  • this meeting will cover the contents of a 7- 10-minute ceremony that is fashioned towards smaller groups.  There are still places for customization and options for you to contribute, if you wish. 

  • we will cover the logistics of the day. 

Standard Ceremony: 

• Your choice of two pre-written ceremonies. You can mix and match the content from each and either insert your own vows or go with the ones provided. The ceremony is composed of tried and true pieces from my favourite readings. 

Fast and Efficient Ceremony:

• A short 2-3 minute ceremony that include a few words about marriage, ring exchanges and all of the legal requirements.

• Suitable for very small groups/informal occasions. 

Signing/Legality only: 

If you only need me for the legal aspects of your wedding or you just want to get legally married without any hoopla there are a few options that I offer. This may be what you need if you are going on or coming back from a destination wedding or if you want a friend or an out of province clergy member to perform your ceremony.

• Onsite: 

  1. I come to the location of your choice and sign with you and your 2 witnesses prior to your ceremony. 

  2. I come to your location and sign with you and your 2 witnesses during the ceremony

• My Location:

• 1.  You and your 2 witnesses come to my location (29 Lorindale Ave.) for a non-formal signing. 

 

Rehearsals:

I don’t include rehearsals in the packages above. I have found that the preparations that we do make them unnecessary. However, if you feel it is needed (help directing the large wedding party, people are nervous and it will help, or any other reason) I’m happy to attend. Please make sure that we book the time and date and an additional fee will be applied.

 All services are provided by a fully licensed officiant (Risa) and are adherent to the Marriage Act of Ontario. This includes completing your legal paperwork, filing the license with the government and advising on follow-through to obtain legal proof of marriage.
