Civil Marriage Ceremonies

Getting Married at the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville

The Town is pleased to offer civil ceremonies, held on available Fridays between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Starting 2015, civil wedding ceremonies are also being offered at the Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum & Community Centre, and 19 on the Park.

A civil marriage ceremony is a great option 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. It is cost-effective and can be as low-key or upscale as you wish. After the ceremony, you will receive your Record of Solemnization of Marriage, a copy of your vows and a congratulatory certificate signed by the Mayor.

Ceremony Options

We offer three basic ceremony scripts. You can personalize portions of the script, subject to approval by your marriage officiant.

  • Script 1
  • Script 2
  • Script 3

Marriage Consultation

Both applicants must attend a pre-ceremony consultation one or two weeks prior to your ceremony and bring the following documents:

  • A completed Civil Marriage Ceremony Questionnaire
  • Current valid photo identification
  • Valid Ontario Marriage Licence
  • Receipt for payment of the ceremony

Witnesses

Two witnesses are required, both of whom should be over fourteen (14) years of age; they 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 can act in this capacity for a nominal fee. Please arrange at the time of your consultation.

Fees

Ceremony $316.00 (Municipal Office) or $428.00 (off-site at designated Town facilities)

Witness(es) $61.00 per witness

Payment may be made in the form of cash, debit, credit card (VISA or MasterCard), certified cheque or money order made payable to the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville. Failure to make payment will result in cancellation of the ceremony. *All fees are subject to H.S.T.

Interpreter

Applicants must provide an interpreter if they do not speak and/or understand English or require sign language interpretation. The interpreter must not be one of the witnesses. The interpreter will be required to sign a form confirming that he/she has accurately interpreted the wedding ceremony.
