Officiant Services

The Municipality of Grey Highlands now offers Civil Marriage Ceremonies.  Ceremonies are held in Council  Chambers at 206 Toronto Street South Markdale on the last Friday of each month and are performed by the Clerk or designate.  Alternate times and locations may be available upon request and at the availability of the Officiant.

All ceremonies require a pre-wedding consultation prior to the ceremony, usually arranged at least 4 weeks prior to the wedding date. For consultations, couples must come prepared with the following:

  • A valid marriage licence (date issued must be within 3 months of ceremony and may be obtained during the pre-consultation meeting)  

  • Two pieces of Government ID per applicant (one photo)

  • Payment for service

  • Names and addresses of two witnesses

* Please note that any Civil Marriage Ceremony performed by Marriage Officiants will be a non-denominational and dignified ceremony, which adheres to the requirements of the Marriage Act for the Province of Ontario.

The base fee for a civil marriage ceremony is $300.00 which includes pre-consultation meeting and the ceremony.  Marriage licence obtained by the Municipality of Grey Highlands are $150.00.  Bundle your licence and ceremony together and save $50.00.
