All people deserve to feel and experience love and being loved. Same sex marriage ceremonies for gay & lesbian couples have been legally permitted in Ontario since 2003. Since then, having designed and delivered over 200 same sex ceremonies, we have likely attended more gay & lesbian weddings than anyone else in the Ottawa area. Presently, about 10% of the ceremonies we perform each year in the Ottawa area are for same-sex couples. And we are ready to put this experience to work for you. . In breaking new ground, each ceremony that we perform is another opportunity to establish new traditions that borrow from the old yet find new forms of expression. Whether it's two brides or two grooms, with each new same sex ceremony that we officiate, we have built up an appreciation of the unique issues that should be addressed in order to ensure the complete satisfaction for all. As with conventional ceremonies, no two are alike and we strive to help you find the balance that is appropriate for the two of you and your guests.
As more same sex couples come forward to formalize their relationships, we expect to add to the growing resource base we now offer. We have a far more comprehensive selection of gay and gender neutral ceremony scripts to review than you will find from any other officiant in Ontario. We will be delighted to assist you.
If your wedding is scheduled to occur any time within the May to October period, you are advised to contact us (Lynne or Keith) about your specific requirements as early as possible, given the significantly increased demand for their services. Contact us either by by phone at (613) 831-7555 or inquire by e-mail at Keith@ExceptionalCeremonies.com to secure a reservation for your preferred ceremony date & time.
