Planning a Wedding
Celebrate your love with a personalized wedding ceremony designed to reflect your unique story.
As an ordained minister and wedding officiant, who enjoys travelling, she serves all those celebrating their love in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. The sky’s the limit!
Whether a wedding ceremony is held in a backyard or in a Cathedral in someone's kitchen or in a great hall...to be able to help create and be a part of a couple's First most Special Day...their Wedding Day...is a gift!
This open, warm and witty professional, welcomes all to-be-weds, to the altar from all walks of life with ceremonies that are timeless, unique and wonderfully memorable! You may also choose religious ceremonies or non-denominational ones.
Each couple will be met with at length to discuss and create their dream wedding. Perhaps a large formal traditional, more secular ceremony is envisioned....or something more intimate like an informal quiet elopement on the beach, watching a golden sunset.
“ I’m excited to get to know you...learn of your Love Story and have it come to life!
I am at your service from the time we begin our journey together, up to and including your Beautiful Wedding Day! “
The Key Wedding Pkg $550 (includes the wedding rehearsal)
Unlimited wedding consultations with the couple!
First, we meet to ensure that we are confident and comfortable with one another while answering any questions regarding the licensing, the ceremony, and general wedding information.
Second, I will walk you through the ceremony in detail, helping you plan your day. I like to ‘hear your heart’ while creating your wishes. Whether you'd like your ceremony to be contemporary, inspirational or traditional (or a blend of all 3), I’ll help you create the ceremony of your dreams. And to ensure a perfect and elegant ceremony for all involved, this package includes:
-
A wedding rehearsal – a one-hour full walk-through and line-up at your venue or another location.
-
Unlimited calls, texts or video chats up to and including the wedding day
-
Over 72 Inspirational, Contemporary and Special Occasion vows to choose from or to help you with writing your own.
The Quaint Wedding Pkg $450
This wedding package includes all the same services as the Key wedding package; only the wedding rehearsal is not included. Usually, those couples who have a smaller or no wedding party find the Quaint ceremony package perfect!
The Elopement Wedding Pkg $325
Maximum of 8 people (not including the Officiant).
We begin with a phone call to get to know you a little better and to answer all your questions regarding the ceremony, licensing, and any other wedding information you may require.
Then follows an intimate pre-designed wedding ceremony for the couple with their 2 witnesses and perhaps one or two more family members or close friends. Perfect for couples heading away on a destination wedding, and want to ensure a legal and cost-effective marriage. I will even have vows for you to choose from on your wedding day if you haven't already written your own.
Renewal of Vows $350
Even though you have been married or committed to one another for years, a vow renewal is very heartfelt for a couple to say, “I chose you, and I continue to choose you.” Most couples request a Vow Renewal ceremony to celebrate a milestone anniversary, overcome a life-threatening illness, recover after a long separation or difficult period in the relationship, or for no reason at all!
Rehearsals $150
If you’re feeling stressed about things going the way you want, a wedding rehearsal could be very helpful. I’ve designed it so that everyone will know what’s happening, where to stand, and get a good sense of the entire ceremony's follow-through.
Note: If we’ve scheduled a wedding rehearsal, bring your marriage documents (placed in an envelope that properly fits the unfolded documents).
Paper Work Only Package begins at $200
This is a stand-alone service that does not include a ceremony. Just the signing of the marriage documents, nothing more. It can be used in two ways:
-
If the couple is planning a destination wedding but would prefer to be legally married in Canada before leaving. There would be no service involved, just the couple, the 2 witnesses and the Officiant sitting at a table and signing the documents. This could occur in your home, at a restaurant or at your favourite location.
-
When the couple has chosen a special friend or relative to perform the ceremony, who is not an Officiant, a licenced Officiant would step in only for the signing part of the ceremony. The fee for this service would vary depending on how involved you would like the Officiant to be.
