Congratulations, you're getting married!
The Town of Georgina has several Registered Officiants ready to help you take that leap into marriage.
We offer two types of Wedding Ceremonies:
- Onsite Ceremony
- Located at the Town of Georgina Civic Centre at 26557 Civic Centre Road, Keswick, Ontario, L4P 3G1, during the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
- Offsite Ceremony
- Location of your choosing, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday or after 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Are You Planning a Destination Wedding?
We commonly marry couples who are planning their wedding outside of Ontario. You can get legally married prior to your departure in a civil ceremony to ensure your paperwork and marriage information are filed within Ontario. This way, the stress is off, knowing everything will be taken care of back home, and you can enjoy your wedding getaway!
Marriage Ceremony Requirements
- Complete the Ceremony Booking Form
- You must have a Marriage Licence prior to your scheduled ceremony
Ceremony Options
We offer four ceremony scripts. You can personalize portions of the script, subject to approval by your Officiant.
Witnesses
Two witnesses are required for you to become legally married. These witnesses must be able to understand and appreciate what is taking place and be able to give evidence of such at a later date, if required. If you are unable to provide your own witnesses, we are happy to provide witness for you (for Onsite Wedding Ceremonies only), for a nominal fee. If you require one (1) or two (2) witnesses, please indicate this on your Ceremony Booking Form.
