Marriage
Love is a beautiful gift
and uniting that love for a lifetime is a sacred endeavor.
As a Licensed Marriage Commissioner it is a joy for me officiate your Wedding or Vow Renewal Ceremony as you celebrate your love and commitment for one another.
I specialize in short notice bookings. If you have had your Marriage License a full 24 hours and want to get married tomorrow or this week, or within a month, I will try to accommodate you. On occasion I will book a few months in advance but this is not my preference.
There are some options for you to choose from.
✼Basic - an uncomplicated simple civil service, perfect for those who favour a quiet coming together, or for those planning a destination wedding and wanting to avoid the hoopla required to be legally married in another country. It is a succinct declaration and signing of your wish to be legally married. 💍$150.00
✼Ceremonial - This is a little longer service and includes some ceremonial aspects to it. It has a message woven through, and a lovely exchange of vows and rings and may include a sand ceremony or hand-fasting. It is more elaborate than the Basic service and usually includes guests and attendants. 💍$200.00
✼Renewal of Vows - can be an extremely meaningful experience for couples who simply want to reaffirm their commitment to one another. Some choose it as a means of celebration of a milestone anniversary, or after a time of reconciled discord. Vow Renewal is a non-legal ceremony and thus does not require witnesses. 💍$150.00
Particulars that must be attended to prior to the wedding.
✼Purchase a Marriage License - at least one day prior to, but not more than three months prior to the wedding. Click here for a link to marriage license issuers. The license costs $60.00 and both parties must be present with two pieces of identification at time of purchase. If this is not your first wedding you must present your divorce certificate.
✼Book your Commissioner - I require a $50.00 non-refundable deposit to secure your date and time. Click here to send your e-transfer. (Balance to be e-transferred the morning of the ceremony). Alternatively, and most often preferably, you may pay the full amount at this time. Because I may have more than one wedding to officiate that day, it is important to respect the time we agree upon.
✼Send me the information I require to prepare the registration forms for your wedding.

After you are married I will present you with a Marriage Certificate.
✼You may use the certificate I give you to get your name changed on your Driver's license, and then use your renewed Driver's license photo ID to have the rest of your ID updated.
✼In addition, if you wish, you may also order a government issued Marriage Certificate as legal proof of your marriage. Click here to order your official Marriage Certificate.
