The contract and invoice will be sent to you once we have had our initial conversation and agreed to proceed. 

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!

Vow Writing Support

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.

Paperwork

We will complete the necessary paperwork with your witnesses and your completed license will be submitted to the Marriage Office within 48 hours by Registered Mail. 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). Should you need the Marriage Certificate expedited for any reason, Francesca can efficiently guide you through the process.

Even better than we'd hoped! An important part of a magical day.

Francesca was truly the perfect Officiant! We couldn't have asked for more. We had some sticky feelings about typical wedding ceremony language, and she worked with us to craft a ceremony that was even better than we could have hoped for! The whole process was super organized (a big help for a swamped couple trying to juggle all the planning!). And when it came time to crafting the ceremony, she took the time to ask really smart questions that felt as if we'd really gotten to know each other without endless meetings, and she was so understanding and respectful of the type of language we were comfortable with, how we wanted our ceremony to feel, and how to include special shout outs to our dear cats, and people no longer with us. But best of all, even with that careful planning, the actually ceremony itself was a surprise on the day, which made it feel poignant and fresh, not just to our guests, but also to us. We both got a bit teary! The best part was when I forgot the rings in another room and the whole ceremony had to stop ;) Francesca kept the guests entertained and we all had a good laugh through it while we waited for my poor frantic MoH to find them. She helped everything run smoothly, and we had numerous guests remark afterwards that it was the most lovely, unique, and genuine ceremony they'd been to. We could not have been happier with how it all turned out. Thank you Francesca for being such an important part of the most magical day! <3

An integral part of our perfect day

Francesca was an integral part of our perfect day. right from our first meeting, she established a connection to get to know us and found all the things that made our relationship unique. Her words were crafted just for our story, which brought depth and authenticity to our ceremony. We've received so many kind words about Francesca from our guests; specifically the way she commanded the room and her beautiful words.

Amazing! Stanley Wedding 2023

Francesca was an amazing officiant. Not only did she make the process leading to the wedding easy, she provided a heartfelt and beautiful ceremony. Many of our guests made comments to us after the wedding saying how amazing Francesca was! We cannot recommend her enough!

Perfect, personalised wedding ceremony

Francesca came as a recommendation from our planner and we are SO grateful we met her - we knew we had made the right decision immediately after our first meeting. Francesca offered us so much support throughout the process and really took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple to deliver a perfectly, personalised ceremony. We had so many guests tell us how amazing she was and that it seemed like she had known us for years! Everyone also loved how interactive the ceremony was and loved the selfie game! During the ceremony, Francesca's calm, fun, and lighthearted demeanor kept us calm and helped us to forget how many eyes were on us.
We would hands down, without hesitation, recommend Francesca as an officiant to any couple looking to tie the knot with a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony.

Authentic and Heartfelt

Francesca was amazing! As our title said... she was authentic and heartfelt. Everyone kept asking us how we found her because they thought we had known each other for years. They said she just seemed so happy and excited to perform our ceremony and everyone was so impressed with her. She took great care to understand us as a couple and delivered a really beautiful and meaningful ceremony. She even brought her dog Zoya per my request and dressed her up in a glitter tutu to match our disco theme!
Thank you Francesca!! 😊 We really appreciate you!! You are a gem!

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.
