Traditional Wedding

Are people allowed to take pictures during the service?

Answer

Pictures and videos are welcome, however the use of flashes is strongly discouraged, as it can alter the quality of pictures taken by professional photographers and can be distracting to you. I will make myself available for a short while after the service should you want to include me in any pictures.

What do I require to be married in Ontario?

Answer

To be married in Ontario you must be 18 years of age. You require a marriage license and must have two witnesses over the age of 18 witness your marriage.

A marriage license can be purchased at the clerks office in city hall, and is good for 90 days. There is no waiting period in Ontario to be married. i.e. you can be married the same day as you purchase your license.

When should I book my Officiant?

Answer

As soon as you book your venue you should then book your Officiant. Summer months are busier than others, one year in advance is not too early to book. Off season weddings November-April do not require booking so far in advance. A good rule of thumb is: As soon as you know the date of your wedding book your Officiant.

Will you incorporate elements from another culture or religion?

Answer
