Planning a wedding, whether intimate or elaborate, is a lot of work! My goal as your officiant is to support you in preparing for your wedding ceremony in a way that makes it stress-free, and that will become a beautiful memory for both of you as you transition from one phase of your relationship to another. We will work together to make your ceremony what you want it to be: simple and sweet, unique and quirky, a beautiful blend of cultural or religious traditions reflecting your heritage, or a celebration that includes friends and family. My agenda is simply this: to support you in making your vision a reality. Your peace of mind is my priority.
My policy is one of inclusivity and non-discrimination. All couples are welcomed and treated with respect.
Full Wedding Ceremony in the Niagara Region:
A full wedding ceremony in the Niagara region (Beamsville Bench, Jordan, Vineland, Twenty Valley, St Catharines, Niagara-on-the-lake, Hamilton) runs $450 – $550 (+HST), which includes an initial Skype or phone call to learn about you as a couple, and to start to talk about your customized ceremony. I will send you a ceremony draft to start with, and together through Skype, phone and/or emailing we will build in the personal elements that you wish. I am here to answer any questions you have, to conduct the ceremony itself, and to take care of the paperwork. If your location is in the region but quite remote, a travel fee may apply, which we can discuss at booking.
When the ceremony is finalized (or very close to it), we can meet in person (at a central location in the region, subject to availability) or by online video-conferencing to review the content, and do a brief walk through. This is not a rehearsal with extended family, it is private for just the three of us, so that you have confidence and peace of mind for your special day. If you wish to book me for the rehearsal, inquire about pricing, as it depends on date and location.
I live in Beamsville on the vines, a 10-15 minute drive from many popular wine country wedding locations. For these sites, there is no driving fee, as I am right near home!
Full Wedding Ceremony in Toronto:
I will not be booking weddings in the GTA during the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking forward to getting to the other side!
Ceremony Rehearsals at Your Location:
Rehearsal fees range from $180 to $200/hr (+HST) depending on location and is a separate fee from the Ceremony fee. The private walk through that is included in the Full Wedding package, just for the couple, usually should suffice. Doing the walk through with me saves rehearsal fees! Rehearsals are scheduled subject to availability.

Simple Wedding Ceremonies
If you are looking for a very simple, streamlined ceremony without the need for a great deal of planning or a final walk-through, the rate is $425 (+HST). This is usually for elopements with a ceremony, or for a small gathering for a simple ceremony that requires minimal revisions. Please inquire.
Elaborate Wedding Ceremonies
Are you looking for something more elaborate, or personalized, that requires more in-depth planning, writing, and coordination? For example, do you want to include a lot of people in the ceremony, and need me to create roles and cues for them? Are you looking for a full-scale ritual incorporating multiple elements, such as in a pagan wedding? Do you need me to be on-site earlier or longer than usual? If your wedding ceremony is very in-depth and will require more time to coordinate than what has been described above, please inquire about pricing.
