Civil Marriage Solemnization

Description

The Marriage of Act has many regulations under which an 'officiant' — clerk or designate — must be familiar with and able to perform and administer civil marriage solemnization. In addition, regulations identified under the Municipal Act must be respected. This workshop reviews all the critical components of both the Marriage Act as well as the Municipal Act and the legal obligations that must be addressed within each ceremony. Participants will review the full process — everything from first contact with potential clients, up to and until the ceremony has been performed and completed. Participants will also learn about other judicial elements that may not be within the Act, but that are nevertheless critical to the effective process including details around events, documents, venues, and other specific situations.

Learning Outcomes:

Identify the right questions to be prepared to ask and answer including communicating important information couples need to know before the wedding date

Understand how to navigate various ceremony situations that may arise

Identify key processes and timelines
