In-Depth Vision Meeting

A month before the ceremony, we will set up a virtual meeting for me to learn about your love story, your vision for the wedding and the ceremony specifics  For example: Are you writing your own vows? Would you like any special additions, such as hand fasting, dove release or family/religious traditions? Do you have a special poem or quotes you would like to add? This meeting is to ensure that your ceremony flows eloquently, is personalized and heartfelt! As I am a clergy with CIMM, Metaphysical Minister, we can speak about love and marriage or add bits from your family's cultures or religious background. This is all about make your event as magical or simple as you'd like!

If couples are choosing to create their own personalized vows, support throughout the process is provided as needed.  Francesca promises to ensure that your vows are meshed within the ceremony and coaches you as to how to deliver them with ease.

Virtual Walk Through

About a week before your wedding we will do a walk through to make sure the vows are to your liking and logistics in are place so the wedding events will flow as smooth as possible. 

Ceremony

On the day of the wedding Francesca will arrive about 30 minutes before the scheduled time and meet you at our pre-determined location on the premises. At that time she will connect with all the vendors and ensure the ceremony space is ready.

Following the ceremony you will be personally guided as to thow you can apply for your Marriage Certificate online and should receive it within 6 months (currently the marriage office is very busy).

Jade & Ricky’s wedding at Shangri-la

Thank you so much Francesca for being a great officiant on our special day! You got to our venue early to check in with us and made sure everything was running smoothly. Your professionalism, enthusiasm, and energy was perfect for the ceremony. We’re very happy with everything.

What an amazing person!

When we were planning our wedding, we were looking for someone who could captivate our guests attention and help us bring a warm and loving feeling into our ceremony. One day, we watched a wedding clip on Instagram and heard Francesca's voice and instantly knew she was the one for us! Unfortunately, my screen refreshed by accident and it took a few tries to find the same video and eventually, find her page, but we found her! We knew it was meant to be! From the moment we connected with Francesca, we felt supported, and I as a bride, felt I has someone I could trust in the process of navigating the scary job of wedding planning! Francesca helped us step by step and her sweet, warm and soft personality made our ceremony feel absolutely magical! Thank you so much Francesca! You will be in our hearts always!! <3

Francesca was a Gem!

What I looked during my search for an Officiant, was someone who would provide us with guidance and options to have a ceremony just the way we wanted / pictured it. With Francesca, we got just that and more! Along the way Francesca provided advice, next steps, a cohesive timeline, information on how and where to apply for the marriage licence, and how to obtain the certificate after the ceremony. She was wonderful to work with and was a gem the day of! In the whirlwind of the day, she was rock that we were able to lean on for guidance, direction and support. Thank you Francesca!

A day we will remember forever

From the moment we first spoke with Francesca, we knew we had made the right choice. Her level of communication and organization, and attention to detail, was a huge comfort to us in the busy days and weeks prior to the wedding -- when there are SO many other moving parts. The ceremony itself was beautiful, and Francesca did an amazing job matching the mood of the day and making it feel completely unique to us. The whole day was better than we ever could have imagined, and Francesca played such an important part in it. We will remember it forever. Thank you!

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.
