How To - "I do!"
If you're planning to get married in Ontario, obtaining a marriage license is an essential step. To save time, download the Marriage License Application form before visiting City Hall.
You only need one applicant to go if you have your partner's two pieces of government-issued identification (one must include photo) and signatures on the form. Once you have completed the form, you can pick up your license from any City Hall in Ontario within 90 days of your ceremony.
On the day of your wedding ceremony, as your officiant, I will guide you and your two witnesses through the necessary paperwork and register it with the government.

Shelley was absolutely amazing as our officiant! She created a beautiful and loving ceremony that perfectly captured the essence of our relationship. She brought a wonderful blend of class and humor, making the experience both heartfelt and lighthearted. Her calm demeanor was a gift, especially when handling some of the inevitable chaos that comes with weddings. No matter what was happening around her, she kept everything flowing smoothly, allowing us to be fully present in the moment. Shelley made our night truly unforgettable, and we are beyond grateful to have had her as part of our special day. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who brings warmth, professionalism, and a touch of magic to their wedding!
