Getting Married?
The Town of Georgina is delighted to offer wedding officiate services whether you wish to be married at our Civic Centre or at the venue of your choice.
A civil marriage ceremony is a great alternative to a traditional ceremony or if you are planning a destination wedding and wish to ensure that your paperwork is filed in Ontario.
We will tailor the ceremony to suit your individual needs – your day your way! After the ceremony, you will receive your Record of Solemnization of Marriage and a copy of your vows.
Marriage Ceremony Requirements
- Complete the Ceremony Booking Form
- Obtain a Marriage License prior to your scheduled ceremony
Ceremony Options
We offer four ceremony scripts. You can personalize portions of the script or add to it, subject to approval by your marriage officiate.
Witnesses
Two witnesses are required who 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, Town staff (for Civic Centre ceremonies only) can act in this capacity for a nominal fee. Please arrange at the time of booking.
