  Marriage, Renewal, or Commitment - Your ceremony is the area where advise on wording and overall style is my focus. Assistance with unique ceremonies and rehearsal attendance is part of what I do. I ensure that Alberta Government guidelines of a Civil Marriage Ceremony are followed within the parameters of the words you wish to use to express your love for each other.

Renewal Ceremonies

If you wish to renew your marriage using your original wedding ceremony, this is easily accomplished.  That ceremony may be embellished with the experiences that have made your marriage stronger as a couple.  The alternative is to choose a completely new ceremony that reflects your life experiences leading to this special Anniversary. 

Commitment Ceremonies

Commitment Ceremonies are individually composed to reflect your devotion and promise for a happy future together.  Guidelines are available for a starting point.
