Booking process
Booking a Date
Once you have decided you would like me to perform your ceremony, you should reserve your date ASAP. This requires you to pay a 50% deposit. Once the deposit has been received, I will forward you a package for you to begin thinking about what you want to include in the ceremony. At this point, we can plan the dates of our meetings and I am also available by phone or email to discuss your plans.
Meetings
Depending on what package you have selected, our last meeting will be at least two to three weeks before the wedding. At this meeting we will discuss the specifics of the wedding and finalize the wording. Some couples choose to have a small, informal rehearsal at this point. I will also be collecting the marriage license from you at this point. A formal rehearsal is possible but not usually necessary.
Obtaining Your License
In order for me to marry you, you must have a marriage license which can be obtained at any municipal office in Ontario. A marriage licence expires three months from the date of issue and can be used anywhere in Ontario. The following offices can issue you a license:
