The Small Onsite
Wedding Ceremony with guests offers you greater
customization of your ceremony. This is perfect for a
group of less than ten people who may not wish a larger
venue. There is the choice of the Angel's Chapel or,
weather-permitting, the Promises Garden for your ceremony
location.
You
may include several elements, readings and even exchange
your own vows. Deborah works with you to help create the
ceremony of your dreams. Couples are responsible for
bringing along the elements for the Flower, Unity Candle
and Love Letter ceremonies.
The
cost of the Small Onsite Wedding is $225. We can
provide the elements for the sand ceremony for an
additional $25.
Offsite
Weddings
If
you are in need of a wedding officiant, Deborah is
delighted to travel to you. The ceremony is customized to
suit your individual faithstance and preferences. More
information and details can be found below. The cost of
offsite services begins at $250. Options are outlined in
the next section.
Securing
your date
Whether
planning a wedding ceremony or a renewal of your vows,
the season books up quickly, so it is very important
that you secure your time and date with Rev. Deb as
soon as you can.
Offsite
ceremonies
Deborah
travels all around the Niagara area and beyond to
officiate at weddings. Fees begin at $250, and that
includes travel (unless it is over 25kms away) and
consultations to personalize your ceremony. When you
book the wedding, you will be given a final cost for
her services. No surprises!
For example:
Officiating at a wedding in Niagara-on-the-Lake with two
or three planning meetings (in person, over the phone or
via email) costs $250 inclusive. A wedding in Toronto or
other destination requiring more than an hour travel time
begins at $300 and includes travel to Toronto on the day
of the ceremony.
Rehearsals are
generally not necessary. By the time of the wedding,
choreography and details have been thoroughly discussed.
There is an additional fee of $100 for
rehearsals.
This applies to
offsite Renewal of Vows Ceremonies as well. A fee of $250
includes personalized ceremony creation, consultation,
preparation, time to and from the venue and time involved
with the ceremony itself.

The
Process
To
secure the date and time of your ceremony a $100 deposit
is required. This is non-refundable, covering the time
for consultations and the preparation that goes into
making each ceremony unique.
We can accept your
VISA and Mastercard card over the phone at 905-468-9502.
Further payment options are listed below.
Bishop Deb will
discuss the total cost with you at the time you book.
There are no surprises.
Once your payment
is received, we send along the basic ceremony via email
which is the starting point of a ceremony that will
reflect the unique love that has brought you together.
Some couples desire a printed copy of the final ceremony
and we are happy to provide a keepsake copy. Other
elements such as readings, unity candle, flower ceremony,
sand ceremony can be added in.
This begins the
dialogue of creating a ceremony that perfectly reflects
your "voice", your spirituality or faithstance, and even
the kind of vows you wish to say.
This is the
hallmark of a service with Bishop Deborah -- we create
the ceremony that is uniquely yours! Many couples desire
to meet and that can be arranged. Others organize the
ceremony by email and telephone. It is up to
you!
After you decide
what you would like in your service, a personalized
ceremony is created and sent for your approval and
necessary revisions are made. At this point the service
is ready to go and one less thing for you to worry about!
As the ceremony
gets closer, "touching base" emails are sent to make sure
that plans are coming together.
At the ceremony the
balance of the cost of Rev. Deb's honorarium is paid in
cash. It may also be paid ahead of time online using
Paypal or an email money transfer. We can also accept
your VISA or Mastercard onsite or over the
phone.
What
you receive:
Upon receipt of your deposit or payment, a
verification of booking is sent to you which includes
the time, date, receipt of payment and balance. It
also outlines Bishop Deb's duties.
Some couples love their ceremony so much that they
wish a printed keepsake copy and we are happy to
oblige them. Just let us know and we'll have one
ready.
You will receive a beautiful certificate from Holy
Angels Parish suitable for framing.
Consultation
Deborah
is happy to consult with couples sharing ideas, expertise
and advice about their ceremonies. There is a fee of $80
an hour for those who wish her assistance as consultant,
but do not wish to book her services.
