This is the full package. It includes an in-depth interview process where we get to talk about your ideas and mine, how you envision your ceremony, and from there, planning and composing a customized ceremony, performing the ceremony, and filing your marriage license with the Registrar of Ontario. We can add a walk-through to ease any last-minute jitters.
I will work with you to make this ceremony as personal as possible, incorporating your love story, any additional elements you want (sand ceremony, unity candle, honouring loved ones, anything). I will have you complete a questionnaire in order for me to write YOUR story, I will provide you with vow samples and a vow writing template should you decide to write your own vows, and I will send in your signed marriage license and explain how to apply for your marriage certificate.
Your Love Story includes:
A no-obligation in-person, or virtual consultation.
A ceremony questionnaire, which I will use to compose your personalized ceremony script.
A lovely, personal ceremony script (that will either tug at your heart strings or have your guests rolling in the aisles with laughter.
Unlimited ceremony edits and revisions, as well as full control of the final draft.
Peace of mind knowing word for word what your officiant is going to say – no surprises here!
I will continue to stay in touch before the ceremony either by phone or email during the entire process to make sure we have everything just right.
Arrival at your wedding venue at least one-half hour prior to ceremony to chat with photographer, planner and DJ to make sure all goes as planned and get last minute changes.
A lovely ceremony delivered as promised and a souvenir copy as a keepsake.
All of your paperwork sent off to the Registrar of Ontario.

This is for the couple who want just a small intimate ceremony in a restaurant, in a park, in a backyard or some other location that is meaningful. This is a great alternative to a City Hall wedding for anyone who is planning a destination wedding. All you need is the happy couple and 2 witnesses and up to 10 guests. The Ottawa region has some beautiful locations for these small ceremonies and I can provide you with some recommendations.
The Elopement Ceremony includes:
A no-obligation in-person, or virtual consultation.
A choice of ceremonies, which I can personalize just for you.

This is the perfect option for couples who don’t want all the pomp and circumstance of a wedding, but just want the commitment. It’s quick, it meets all the regulations of the Marriage Act and is easily done with 2 witnesses. No rings or vows are part of this ceremony.
Couples must have their marriage license and two witnesses at a location discussed in advance. They may bring up to 4 more people with them, but it is understood that it is a simple legal ceremony, no vows or ring exchange.
After the ceremony I will mail off the paperwork to the Registrar of Ontario.

A commitment ceremony is a service that allows a couple to make a commitment to one another without legal rights or responsibilities. You can still say vows, ask guests to do readings, play music, express your love for another, exchange rings and kiss in front of your nearest and dearest, but the service isn’t legally binding and your marital status will not change.
You can have a commitment ceremony in a barn, in a boat, in a garden, on a hill, on a beach, in a hot air balloon, in a castle, anywhere. Many couples choose commitment ceremonies over legal weddings if they’ve been married previously or simply favour an alternative way to share and show their love for one another.
Each part of a commitment ceremony can be handcrafted to suit individual couples. There are no limitations to the content that can be used unlike that of marriage ceremonies that are legally bound by its scripts. Couples also have the choice to include traditions that are meaningful to them should they wish, such as handfasting or religious readings. The sky’s the limit.

I love meeting new people, and I love being a wedding officiant, so feel free to call anytime! You'll probably find me in the garden in good weather or out training my dog, Lola. Or, at a wedding, of course.
I'm always available
