This has never happened, but fortunately I have a deep bench of several licensed and experienced colleagues who I know would knock your ceremony out of the park as well as I would. Your ceremony will already be completely written by me, of course, and I would call on one of my colleagues to seamlessly step in and read and perform what you and I have created together.
I recommend and gently insist on a rehearsal. Rehearsal is included in my Deluxe ceremony.
If your venue is not available for a rehearsal, don’t fret! We just need a space where we can imagine a “front area” and practice walking down a mock aisle and standing in a line. I’ve done rehearsals in city parks, living rooms, condo party rooms, and restaurants.
We want to do everything we can to make sure everyone is as relaxed as possible on your wedding day. A rehearsal – anywhere – goes a long way towards that.
After we meet and you decide to book me, then I would appreciate a 50% retainer, most people do an E-Transfer. I ask for the remaining 50% well after you have the draft of your ceremony script and it’s almost complete. Then I start building your story, editing along with you, and reaching out to your friends and family.
Yes you obtain a marriage license from the Alberta Registries. I like to receive it before the wedding so I can do some work on it. We can discuss that more on our first meeting. After your wedding I will submit the license to the Provincial Government so it can be registered.
Good question, I would allow an hour for the whole ceremony. You will be required to have a marriage license, and two witnesses. The amount of ceremony is up to you. These ceremonies can done during the week Mondays to Thursdays in the evening. But check on other available times. I can provide witnesses as well for an additional fee.
