This package is designed for completing the legal components & paperwork for getting married in Ontario.  The couple and their two witnesses will be present.  If you do not have witnesses, arrangements can be made to bring witnesses for you for a fee.  Paperwork experiences are completed at Francesca's space in Liberty Village. 

Initial Consultation
We will have a phone or video meeting to clarify your needs and then you'll be sent the official wedding contract. Once the wedding contract is completed and your payment is received your date is secured.

Walk-through
The week of the wedding we will touch base by video or phone call to ensure all parties are clear of how the experience will flow.

Ceremony
On the day of the wedding we will meet promptly at the scheduled time at our predetermined location.  
If paperwork only offerings are requested at another location a travel & parking fee may also be added & fees will be discussed on an individual basis.  

Paperwork
We will complete the necessary paperwork with your witnesses and I will submit your completed license to the Marriage Office within 48 hours. You are then personally guided as to how to apply for your Marriage Certificate online anytime after the wedding and will receive it within a few months. Should you need the Marriage Certificate expedited for a valid reason, Francesca can thoroughly guide you through the process. 

Please ensure you bring the Marriage License in the Government Envelope.

FAQs

You are welcome to reach out anytime for questions or concerns about anything related to your special day at no extra cost. If I can help you, it would be an honour and a privilege to support you.

1. You can pick the licence up from any City Hall in Ontario within 90 days of the ceremony. The newest policy is to make an appointment before you go in. Only one applicant needs to go, and must have the partner's original pieces of ID and signatures on the form.

2. Fill in the form before you go to City Hall.

3. You will need to bring 2 pieces of government-issued identification for each person getting married. One piece of identification must include your photo. These are the documents that are permitted:

- Government-issued birth certificate, including any change of name certificates.

- Valid passport.

- Record of immigrant landing.

- Canadian Citizenship Card.

- Valid Driver’s Licence.

- Valid Ontario Photo Card.

- Certificate of Divorce.


You can go online to apply for your marriage certificate the day of your wedding onwards. I always suggest getting the long (full copy of the license) and short (certificate) forms because you never know when you might need them. Currently it can take up to 12 weeks to receive the certificate, so you would not want to be left waiting if you needed it.

Expediting a marriage certificate is possible, however, the processing time can vary depending upon your needs and the happening at the marriage office. I am more than happy to support you through these steps if you need. I have clients with medical emergencies and immigration needs receive their certificate within 2-3 weeks. If there is an urgent need, we will do all we can to speed up the process.

It is so important to ensure that your wedding officiant is actually registered with the Ministry of Ontario. Here is a link to the government website where you can find my official registration.

Being registered with a Ministry as a reverend, clergy or a chaplain does not guarantee that the person is registered with the province. My personal designation is a Minister with the Canadian International Metaphysical Ministry (CIMM) whose head office is in British Columbia, but I am only registered in Ontario. However, I can obtain a temporary license to perform a wedding in other provinces.

Laura is so kind

We got married today and Laura was at the venue even earlier than us, making sure the chamber was ready for us.
She carefully instructed us how to process the ceremony with all the paperwork completed.
We wanted a simple legal ceremony that felt warm & professional.
Francesca's team member was exactly what we needed.

A beautiful ceremony

Francesca was so warm, kind, and welcoming, and although we opted to do a paperwork only ceremony, the words she shared to mark the occasion made the moment feel so much more than just signing documents. She created such a lovely atmosphere for us and our families - a memory we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. 💕

A special shoutout to her sweet dog, Zoya, who was an absolute darling and made the experience even more memorable!

We would recommend Francesca to anyone looking for an officiant who truly cares about making your day, no matter how big or small, feel truly meaningful. Thank you, Francesca, for making our special day so beautiful!

Francesca walked us through every step of the legal paperwork ceremony ahead of our destination wedding. She has such a warm and positive energy, making even just the paperwork a special experience for us. The little ceremony at the end, in the comfort of our own home with our friends and puppy, was the cherry on top. Thank you, Francesca, for bringing the magic to our civil ceremony!

Exceptional guidance!

We're so grateful to Francesca for all her amazing help with our civil marriage here in Canada. As newcomers to the process and unfamiliar with the Canadian system, we were a little unsure of the steps involved in getting married. Francesca was our rock throughout the whole process. She was so patient, clear, and attentive to our needs. She gave us all the information we needed and directed us to the right places. Her kindness and professionalism made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance with marriage paperwork or any related services!
Thank you, Francesca!

Francesca did an amazing job doing our legal paperwork and even took the time to do a small ceremony at the end as we wore our rings. She made the process enjoyable and special I would highly recommend her. Thank you Francesca

A very gracious officiant

It was incredibly troublesome for our witnesses to arrive on time, despite having clear directions, an address, a time and date, everything you can think of underneath the sun that would allow someone to be on time. However, the witnesses were 30 minutes late. Francesca was very patient, calming me down the whole time and being very sympathetic about this. On top of this when I was filing the marriage license application via another country, she would be in constant communication, helping me understand what the Toronto courthouse needed. Francesca is very kind, comforting, and empathetic. Treat her well :).

Francesca deserves all the stars in the sky! She went above and beyond by letting us have a small ceremony when she saw we were dressed up for photos. Her kindness and generosity left us speechless, and we'll forever cherish that unexpected moment. If you want an officiant who truly cares about making your day special, she is the one. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Best paperwork service!

I was referred to Francesca by another Officiant who was busy to do my paperwork on that day i requested but was glad i got Francesca as the alternative. Francesca did an amazing job doing our legal paperwork and even took the time to make it a little special by doing a little ceremony at the end since both our parents attended. She made the process fun and enjoyable and would highly recommend her. Thank you again Francesca for making our legal paperwork a great experience
