Marnie Stretch, Alberta Marriage Commissioner

Your ceremony will complement your perfect wedding day.

Are you looking for a heartwarming and captivating ceremony for your wedding? Do you want it to include all the things you want – and none of the things you don’t? Do you think your wedding should actually be about… the two of you?

That’s what I do.

CUSTOM.

I COLLABORATE WITH YOU

Custom means that from the welcome to the vows to the ring exchange to the pronouncement and everything else, I guide you through the options and we work on it together in a personal planning session. You get the ceremony you’ve always wanted.

PERSONAL.

I TELL YOUR LOVE STORY

Personal means (and this is the best part!) I’m not just pulling platitudes out of a can from the wedding I did the week before. There’s magic in how you met and got engaged and love each other, and even more magic in telling your family and friends on your day.

I REGISTER YOUR MARRIAGE

Legal means I’m certified with the province of Alberta to register your marriage and fulfill all obligations as a lawful officiant. Your paperwork is handled and filed according to provincial regulations, and you get peace of mind knowing that your marriage is fully legalized.
