Lowest costs for your wedding offered by any independent ministry serving the Ottawa Valley & Region, our mission is to provide the least expensive wedding for Couples who want to save for the future.
Our Elopement Wedding
costs less than Ottawa City Hall.
Please be informed: Many Towns & Cities in the Ottawa Valley no longer offer marriages at their City Halls or Courthouse Weddings.
We have performed many weddings for European, South American & Chinese nationalities who are welcome for a totally civil marriage ceremony who have or will be having a ceremony reflecting their cultural traditions but their religious leader does not have their license to perform marriages.
Our Half Hour City Hall Elopement Wedding For Small Weddings
(10 Guests Only Not Including the Couple)
Create Memories With A Ceremony Special to you
1. You can have your wedding outdoors on a special ceremonial deck surrounded by the Chapel gardens. This is not a Reno style wedding, it is done with dignity and respect to the sanctity of marriage yet done with fun and joy reflecting the happiness of the day.
2. We have a indoor Chapel if the weather is inclement. Both the Chapel and outdoor Ceremony Deck are seasonally decorated. See our beautiful pictures of other weddings and gardens go to our photo gallery. You want more then a converted office room at City Hall. Which holds only 10 people.
3. Save your money for more important things you will need for your new family, we are a ministry wanting to make your wedding day a special moment to remember not just a rubber stamped ceremony.
4. You can have a religious ceremony which the city can not offer, honour your faith and not just have a secular civil ceremony. We offer both Civil and a Non-Denominational (Mentions God) ceremonies and a Catholic/Anglican ceremony.
5. The costs of driving to our Chapel are far cheaper then stop and go city driving three times once for the licence, second time to book the wedding and then the wedding day itself, at City hall everything has to be done in person at the downtown City Hall or Courthouse and think of all the parking costs you will save.
6. Enjoy the quiet country side at our estate not a noisy city hall corridor and take some pictures in our gardens handier then having to go to a park.
7. Have an experienced wedding officiant perform your marriage not just a city employee paid by your taxes. Justice of the Peace no longer really do weddings they are too busy.
8. City Hall is open all week days and only for a 2 hours Friday 5-7 and Saturday 2-3 for 20 minutes with a 7 minute ceremony, no Sundays or Civic Holidays. We are open for you anytime.
9. All documentation is handled by us and properly recorded with the government. You only need to apply for the "Marriage Certificate" 90 days after the ceremony yourself.
