What is a Wedding Officiant (Ontario)

A Wedding Officiant is anyone who can legally perform a marriage ceremony. In Ontario this would include judges, municipal clerks (or their designate) and registered Wedding Officiants*.

However, conducting the ceremony is only part of their job. The Wedding Officiant, works with the couple in the months before the wedding day to craft the ceremony, which may include personal vows, readings, music selections, and more.

On your wedding day, the Wedding Officiant will ensure that the marriage license is properly completed and signed by you and your witnesses and they will file it with the Registrar of Marriages.
