Arranging Your Wedding
WHEN would you like your wedding?
Rev. Arthur Kelsie is available to perform wedding ceremonies, any day of the week, between, 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., including holidays.
WHERE would you like your wedding?
Rev. Arthur Kelsie performs wedding ceremonies in Mississauga, Oakville, Brampton, and Burlington, Ontario
What LOCATION would you like for your wedding?
- - You may choose a romantic location, like the place you first met,
or the chapel where your parents were married.
- - Or maybe you’ve always dreamt of getting married outside, like
in your friend’s backyard, in a park, in a public garden, or at
the waterfront.
- - Or how about at a glamorous location like a banquet hall or hotel,
with all the beautiful decorations.
- - What about in a meaningful location, like in your own home, surrounded
by your children.
- - Or you may decide on a location that is convenient for your friends
and family, like an airport hotel, or a well-situated restaurant.
- - You can even choose to get married in a whacky location, like in your vintage 1923 car!
After you’ve made your decision, check with your desired location to see if it is available. And then check with Rev Arthur Kelsie to see if he is available.
WHO you will need for your wedding?
You will require 2 witnesses who are 18 years of age or older. And of course, a bride and a groom !
However, wedding attendants are optional – you do not need to have brides maids or groomsmen.
If you need an interpreter, because English is not spoken by either the bride or the groom, that’s okay. Rev Kelsie can marry you through an interpreter. Just let him know in advance, when you book your wedding with him.
WHAT would you like your wedding to include?
TYPE OF CEREMONY: You can have the type of ceremony you prefer. Rev Kelsie serves virtually every type of couple from purely civil (non-religious) to very religious and everything in between including non-denominational, interfaith and multicultural.
RELIGION: Religion is not required at your wedding – the choice is yours. It is perfectly okay to incorporate any Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Hindu, Spiritual, Non-Denominational, Jewish, or other religious traditions you feel comfortable with.
TRADITIONS: Feel free to center your wedding around any special traditions or themes your family or your culture has.
RINGS: legally, rings are not required – they are at the discretion of the bride and groom.
DRESS: any attire can work. It is fine for the bride or the groom to wear a traditional garment of their choice.
MUSIC: Music is optional. Time can be allocated in your ceremony for a soloist if you so choose. You can also use a CD player or sound system for background or special music.
FLOWERS and DECORATIONS: Optional: You can plan these in accordance with the location that you have chosen.
VIDEO & PHOTOGRAPHY – Your friends, family, and professional photographer are allowed to take pictures, according to the instructions given by you, the bride and groom. Some people prefer to have several visual accounts of the ceremony taken by friends and family; however, other people prefer to allow only a few pictures to be taken during this special time by a professional. The choice is yours.
PRE-WEDDING INTERVIEW with Rev. Arthur Kelsie: Optional. You can arrange this when you book your wedding time with him.
WEDDING REHEARSAL: Optional. You can arrange this when you book your wedding time with him.
