Growing Vital Religious Communities In Canada

Weddings
Take the concern and uncertainty out of planning your wedding service. Our lay chaplains help you create a personal service full of meaning for you, your beloved and your family. We can provide all kinds of materials and suggestions to help you get started. But the important thing is, we will work with you to incorporate the music and the words that express your unique love for each other. Unitarian lay chaplains are proud to perform marriages for any people who wish to dedicate themselves to each other. This includes same-sex marriages. Also, if yours is an interfaith marriage or one involving multiple cultures, we can help you honour each tradition. For Unitarians, all religious traditions contain wisdom and meaning; we have experience at incorporating a range of traditions to weave together a ceremony that is meaningful to all participants. A sensitive, caring lay chaplain can make all the difference on your special day. Let’s talk about making your wedding service exactly the way you would like it to be. Our lay chaplains are trained by our national religious organization, the Canadian Unitarian Council, and are registered to perform marriages in their provinces.
