The Elopement / Legalize it package is the perfect package if you are planning a destination wedding and want to take care of the legal paperwork in advance, if you need a marriage certificate for legal reasons, or if you just want to get it done without a lot of fanfare. A perfect alternative to city hall weddings.
The legal parts of the ceremony are completed to meet the Ontario Marriage Act, and the paperwork is quickly and easily completed. Bring your marriage license and two witnesses to a location selected in advance. All required legal paperwork will be completed and sent in for registration by me. This option can include a basic ring ceremony if requested but does not include any ceremony or vow customization.
This Package Includes:
Phone/email contact
Virtual Meeting (if required)
Completion and Filing of Paperwork
Up to 10 Guests (including couple and witnesses)
Officiant arrival 10 minutes prior to Ceremony
The Full Service / Custom Ceremony is the way to go if your ceremony is more involved: bigger wedding party, the inclusion of additions (unity candle, sand ceremony, etc), cultural elements, multiple speakers, involvement of children, or if you simply want to personalize your ceremony text to suit you both.
Two face to face consultations are included. The first consultation includes an explanation of the legal requirements for getting married in Ontario and a discussion of your wedding ceremony options. The second meeting includes a "talk-through Rehearsal" where the details and flow of the ceremony are confirmed. This can also be done over the phone or Skype.
Unlimited phone consultations, emailing and Skype, prior to the date, are included. You are required to bring your wedding license and have two witnesses. All required legal paperwork will be completed and sent in for registration by me.
