Port Hope and Cobourg Wedding Officiant for commitment ceremony, renewal of vows, marriage, elopement, handfasting

Reverend Avril is available to officiate your wedding ceremony in Ontario.

Together we’ll create a ceremony that makes your special day perfect.

Your retainer will guarantee your time and date in the wedding book at which time Avril can work on your behalf.

Upon receipt of your retainer Avril will send an intake form for you to fill in, the contract, and the basic ceremony to be personalized just for you. You can even write your own vows!

“My husband and I are basking in the glow of being a newly married couple, and this is largely because of Avril. Working with Avril throughout our wedding planning journey was always a delight. She was always quick to respond if we had any questions, and her guidance and tips along the way were so valuable, especially when writing our own vows. On our wedding day, she was a calming and guiding force as she coached us through our ceremony. Though we both had some nerves, she kept us focused. Avril is such a strong public speaker, and she has a great cadence to her delivery. We can’t imagine our big day without her, and are so thrilled that she is a part of our love story. Thank you, Avril!”

The religious affiliations Avril is able to adhere to include Metaphysical Spirituality, Buddhist, Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist, Mormon, Presbyterian, Earth-based, Pagan and Unitarian…and of course, LOVE.

Please don’t ask Reverend Avril for a non-religious ceremony – that’s what town hall is for!

Avril also offers other services which include Elopements, Commitment Ceremonies, Vow Renewals, Handfastings, Baby Blessings, House Blessings, Biker Blessings, Memorials, Graveside services, Celebrations of life, Funerals.

Couples in Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Port Hope, Cobourg, Grafton, Brighton, Belleville, Trenton, Peterborough, Millbrook, Bailieboro, Durham Region, Northumberland County, and the Kawartha Region can count on their wedding ceremony being beautiful and memorable.

***MORE PACKAGES COMING SOON***

NB – Wedding pricing does not include phone calls, zoom calls, or in-person meetings.
Coaching calls are $100 an hour on zoom.

If you are about to request a non-religious ceremony, please take a moment to remember Reverend Avril is in fact a realio trulio Ordained Minister in the Church of Metaphysical Spirituality. Yes, that means Avril is religious and asking her to spiritually compromise herself isn’t fair. Avril’s standard ceremony is written in a way that meets all of the spiritual requirements her church and the Province of Ontario insist upon without sounding like a church service or a mass. Christian (and other) elements are included by request.

Fun Fact! That ‘love is patient, love is kind’ reading…is from the Bible.
It is most often requested by couples who have emphatically told Avril absolutely NO religion.

If you request a call with me before, during or after your booking and wedding day,
you will be offered a 1 hour Coaching call and will be given the payment information.

NEW POLICY STARTING AUGUST 1, 2022

Going forward, all marriage type services will require full payment at the time of booking to retain the date and time you want. This includes weddings, elopements, renewals of vows, and commitment ceremonies. Basically if you want to get in my book, full payment to retain your date and time slot will be expected.

This will save everyone aggravation later on by eliminating the administration step of me chasing you, and you paying the balance closer to your wedding date, and will make for a more streamlined relationship between us.

Thanks! Avril xoxo


Your ceremony date/time is reserved upon receipt of a non-refundable retainer, until then, the date/time is available to other couples and families.
