FAQ

Fuel/travel costs to your ceremony are included in the price if your wedding is within the boundaries of the City of Toronto. The boundaries of the City of Toronto include Toronto, North York, East York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, and Toronto Islands only.  Travel beyond the boundaries of the City of Toronto is $.90 per km in both directions from my North York location.

At present, I am limited to travelling in the Greater Toronto Area. I use Uber to get to wedding locations. If you would like me to officiate at your wedding, and it is outside of the GTA, please get in touch with me to discuss your options.

This has never happened, but fortunately I have a deep bench of several licensed and experienced colleagues who I know would knock your ceremony out of the park as well as I would. Your ceremony will already be completely written by me, of course, and I would call on one of my colleagues to seamlessly step in and read and perform what you and I have created together.

I recommend and gently insist on a rehearsal – that’s why it’s included in my services!

If your venue is not available for a rehearsal, don’t fret! We just need a space where we can imagine a “front area” and practice walking down a mock aisle and standing in a line. I’ve done rehearsals in city parks, living rooms, condo party rooms, and restaurants.

We want to do everything we can to make sure everyone is as relaxed as possible on your wedding day. A rehearsal – anywhere – goes a long way towards that.

After we meet and you decide to book me, I send you an email with a link to my PayPal account. You can choose to pay either by PayPal or e-Transfer if you prefer. You can pay by credit card online using PayPal. I ask for a 50% booking deposit as a retainer, and I ask for the remaining 50% well after you have the draft of your ceremony script and it’s almost complete. Then I start building your story, editing along with you, and reaching out to your friends and family.

You must purchase your Marriage License within 90 days of your wedding day. Marriage licenses expire after 90 days. Licenses must be purchased through your local municipality’s civic center, in the City Clerk’s Office. Most City Clerks’ Offices require that you make an appointment to acquire your license.

*Pro Tip: You can purchase a Marriage License at ANY City Clerk’s office in any city in Ontario. Please check with the office first to see if they require an appointment.

I provide legal handling and registration of your marriage with the Province’s registrar’s office.
