HOW TO BOOK
A deposit of $100, paid by way of e-transfer to rdcountyweddings@yahoo.com secures my services for your ceremony. The remainder is due two weeks prior to the wedding. If you have to postpone your wedding, you will not lose this deposit. If you are having a wedding on very short notice, then the full amount will be payable immediately upon booking.


CUSTOM WEDDING CEREMONY                                              $475
Have the ceremony of your dreams with this custom wedding package. We will go over all of the details, big and small, so that the wedding vows truly reflect who you are as a couple, and every part of the ceremony runs smoothly.

This fee includes:                            
  • Detailed pre-wedding consultation. We will sit down together and discuss at length all of the details of your wedding  - the tone and style of the ceremony that you want - and the personalizing of your vows. I love to get a feel for the couple so that the ceremony really reflects who you both are, so I send you a detailed questionnaire about your love story so far and your hopes for the future, and then use those answers to craft the wording of your wedding. From the opening welcome, to the vows,  the ring exchange and the closing declaration, we will make the wedding unique to the two of you. If an in-person meeting isn't possible, we can do this over the phone, Zoom or FaceTime. Following that initial meeting, we will work together in the months before your wedding to personalize and fine tune your ceremony, especially the wording of your vows and any symbolic ceremony you might be including. We will go back and forth until every single aspect of your wedding ceremony is absolutely perfect.
  • Officiating the Marriage Ceremony.
  • Completion of the Civil Marriage Statement (your proof of marriage document.)
  • Submission of completed Marriage Registration to Alberta Vital Statistics.
  • Post wedding follow up.
Please note: if your wedding requires an exceptional amount of planning, there may be extra charges.



STANDARD CEREMONY                                       $250 
This fee includes:
  • Officiating the Marriage Ceremony.
  • Completion of the Civil Marriage Statement (your proof of marriage document.)
  • Submission of completed Marriage Registration to Alberta Vital Statistics.
This is the perfect way to go if you are looking to keep your wedding ceremony simple and affordable. Standard (but very lovely!) vows are used for this ceremony but you can, of course, read your own personal vows to each other during the wedding if you wish so to do. We will chat either on the phone or via a Zoom or FaceTime call and get to know one another beforehand, but don't have an in person meeting.

Personal "I Do's"  Want to slightly personalize your Standard ceremony on a budget? We can slip a couple of tender or funny "I Do" type questions into your ceremony to add a special moment that your guest aren't expecting.            $75





WEDDING REHEARSAL                                                          $175

We will run though your ceremony 2 or 3 times until you and the entire wedding party feel comfortable, confident and ready for your special day. From the procession in to the recession out, the accompanying music, the bouquet, the ring exchange, the vows, the kiss, the signing of the paperwork, and the positioning of the wedding party, we will go back and forth until every single detail is absolutely perfect.This is a great way to iron out any wrinkles, and reduce stress by preparing for the unexpected clunky moments so that your wedding flows really beautifully! A rehearsal is highly recommended if you have a large wedding party or are very nervous about your vows!   




RENEWAL OF VOWS / COMMITMENT CEREMONY          $350
This fee includes:
  • Pre-ceremony consultation - whether in person or via phone/email.
  • Assistance with writing your vows (if needed).
  • Performance of the vow renewal / commitment ceremony.    


TRAVEL CHARGES
For any of the above services, there may be travel charges depending on the distances involved.  In general, weddings within Red Deer County will not involve travel fees, and weddings outside of the County will have a minimum fee of $75.



RUSH REGISTRATION OF MARRIAGE                             $100
I will personally register your completed Registration of Marriage on the next business day (after your marriage ceremony) rather than mailing it to Vital Statistics as per usual. This will reduce the time before Vital Statistics can
issue your Marriage Certificate by about 3 weeks.

  • All prices include GST
  • Payment can be made by cash, cheque or e-transfer to rdcountyweddings@yahoo.com
  • $100 deposit is due at the time of booking, remaining payment is due 7 days before the ceremony
