Weddings

Take the concern and uncertainty out of planning your wedding service.

Our lay chaplains help you create a personal service full of meaning for you, your beloved and your family. We can provide a variety of materials and suggestions to help you get started. But the important thing is, we can work together to incorporate the elements you find meaningful and the words that will express your love for each other in a unique ceremony.

Unitarian lay chaplains are proud to perform marriages for any two people who wish to dedicate themselves to each other. This includes same-sex marriages. Also, if yours is an interfaith marriage or one involving two cultures, we can help you honour both traditions by providing a bridge between the two faiths. For Unitarians, all religious traditions have wisdom and meaning in them and we have experience at incorporating a range of traditions to weave together a ceremony that is meaningful to all participants.

A sensitive, caring lay chaplain can make all the difference on your special day. Let’s talk about making your wedding service exactly the way you want it to be. Our lay chaplains are trained by our national religious organization, the Canadian Unitarian Council, and registered to perform marriages in the province of Ontario.
