Have A Loved One Officiate | The Marry Mentors

Your Ceremony, Your Way – With Our Support.

Having a friend or family member officiate your wedding is a special way to personalize your day. While Ontario law requires a licensed officiant to make your marriage legal, we’re here to provide all the support you need to ensure your ceremony is seamless, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

How We Can Help | Whether you need us to handle just the legal requirements or want comprehensive support, we offer flexible options to suit your needs:

Legal Officiating Only

If your loved one will officiate the ceremony, we can take care of the legalities by:

In-Office Signing: A quick legal signing at our office before or after your wedding day.
Same-Day Signing: We’ll meet you at the ceremony location (or elsewhere) to make it official before or after your loved one performs the ceremony.
On-Site Licensed Officiant: A licensed officiant can attend the ceremony to sign the required paperwork during your ceremony.

Script Writing & Editing

A well-written script ensures the ceremony flows beautifully. We offer:

Custom-crafted scripts tailored to your story and vision.
Guidance on personalizing vows and ceremonial elements.
Script review and professional editing to give your loved one confidence.

Training for Your Officiant

We’ll help your friend or family member feel confident and prepared by providing:

One-on-one coaching to ensure they’re comfortable speaking and leading the ceremony.
Tips on managing nerves and engaging your guests.
Practical advice on timing, cues, and logistics.

Day-of Ceremony Support

For peace of mind, we can:

Attend the ceremony to assist your officiant with last-minute questions.
Provide ceremony coordination, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Handle contingencies to ensure nothing disrupts your special moment.

Guidance on incorporating cultural or religious traditions.
Assistance with rehearsal planning and facilitation.
Recommendations for personalizing your ceremony to reflect your values and story.
