Ceremonies – Your Way
I am certified by the Ontario Humanist Society and legally registered to perform marriages in the province of Ontario. I provide non-religious, personalized wedding ceremonies. I also perform vow renewal, funeral, memorial, adoption and baby naming ceremonies.
My goal is to help make your ceremony unique and reflect you. I will work with you to create a ceremony that is impactful and reflects the joy of your day and/or honours your loved one. The ceremonies I perform reflect Humanist values. Together we will design your ceremony to leave
you with memories of a lifetime.
Weddings
Your wedding day should be memorable and reflect the couple. There are as many different styles to a wedding ceremony as there are people. I will help you customize your ceremony while maintaining the legal requirements. You can choose a short, minimal ceremony (bare bones) or a full ceremony with vows, exchange of rings, readings and music…..or something in between.
As a Humanist Officiant, the marriage ceremony I perform is equivalent to a civil ceremony. However, together we can make the ceremony warm, loving and reflect you.
Once we have met, either in person or digitally, we can discuss your expectations for your marriage ceremony and if I am a good fit for you.
You will be responsible for obtaining a valid marriage license and providing the necessary proof of divorce if it is not the first marriage for either of the couple.
Renewal of Vows
Couples choose to renew their vows to reaffirm their commitment to each other on a special occasion or anniversary. I will help you make this day as special as your love for each other.
You may also choose this to share your ceremony with family and friends after a destination wedding.
Baby Welcoming
Celebrating the birth or adoption of your child is a wonderful way to introduce your child to your friends and family. During the ceremony, we can announce the name of your child and
acknowledge the impact your community will have in their life.
Funerals and Memorials
The loss of a loved one is a significant time in life. I will help you create a ceremony that honours the life of your loved one and the special contributions they made during their life. We will gather to share memories and grief and reflect on the impact they made.
