Question 1

Are you an Ordained Minister?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am a Metaphysical Minister with the Canadian International Metaphysical Ministry (CIMM) and a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant with the Celebrant Foundation & Institute (CF&I) completing wedding ceremonies, milestones, healing, and other special life events.

Question 2

What can we expect at our first Union Ceremony meeting?

Accepted Answer

Our first meeting is a ‘no obligation meeting’ where we have the opportunity to connect with each other to see if we are the right fit. We can also discuss potential options that you would like to integrate within your special ceremony.
 
While some couples  review which 'fit' is right for them, others will confirm and secure their special ceremony date by filling out a contract and submitting their Non-Refundable Retainer.

Based on the availability of bookings, should you choose to confirm your date at a later time, the contract can be digitally submitted and payment sent via online money transfer.

Question 3

Will you meet with us prior to a Union Ceremony?

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples utilize the Rehearsal date to finalize their ceremony details, however if additional time is required, we can meet in person,  remotely through Zoom or via email exchanges to help you prepare for your personalized ceremony.

Question 4

What will the Union Ceremony look & feel like?

Accepted Answer

The ceremony is your love story and it is a shared document that I write with your help and input in order to create a personalized ceremony that speaks to you and your partner’s journey.

You are part of the process in the revision stages of the document until the ceremony speaks and sings to your individual personalities as a couple. Within the ceremony, we can include special rituals and traditions that acknowledge your family’s history & heritage. We can also integrate essential readings, poems, songs or readings made by friends and loved one’s.

Question 5

Do we need to book a Rehearsal for a Union Ceremony?

Accepted Answer

Rehearsals are optional bookings prior to your Union Ceremony and are meaningful as they give you and your guests the opportunity to ‘run through’ the ceremony before your big event!   
 
Rehearsals also assist the couple in creating an opportunity to present their Marriage Licence before the ceremony takes place. Please note that Wedding ceremonies can not be performed without the presentation of a Marriage Licence.

Question 7

Do you perform Vow Renewals?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I perform vow renewals & milestone anniversary celebrations. These ceremonies are significant aspects of the marriage journey as they concretely acknowledge and celebrate your wedding anniversary. These ceremonies reflect the couple’s union and maturation of their marriage relationship and journey together.
 
While couples’ decide to rededicate themselves to one another during specific milestone anniversaries, other couple's select years that are meaningful to them which speak to their marriage journey and maturation of their relationship.
