In order to be married legally in Saskatchewan couples must first purchase a Saskatchewan marriage licence. A marriage licence is only valid for a period of 3 months, or 90 days. The marriage licence becomes effective the day after it is purchased. Therefore, the marriage licence can be purchased anywhere from one day to 90 days prior to the wedding ceremony.

Following the purchase of a marriage licence, either a religious clergy member or a marriage commissioner (wedding officiant) who is registered in Saskatchewan can perform your wedding and complete your legal marriage paperwork. That paperwork is then mailed to eHealth Saskatchewan - Vital Statistics to be officially recorded.

Unfortunately no, couples cannot get married at a Courthouse in Saskatchewan. In this province, the authority to perform and complete marriages is exclusively granted to religious clergy members and registered marriage commissioners. If you are looking to get married in Saskatchewan, you will need to work with either a religious clergy member or a registered marriage commissioner to register your marriage. Visit the Saskatchewan Government Website to view a list of marriage commissioners in your area.

Couples planning a destination wedding can register their marriage in Saskatchewan by completing the legal paperwork in advance, then hold a symbolic ceremony at their chosen destination. In fact, some destinations may require couples to be legally married beforehand to allow a symbolic ceremony. Destination examples include: Bahamas, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Mexico, and more.

If you are having a destination wedding, The Knotary offers a Legal Marriage & Paperwork Service to register your marriage in Saskatchewan in advance (see The Knotary Wedding Services for current rates). 

 The fee to purchase a marriage licence from a registered issuer is $60.

Wedding services provided by The Knotary start at $120. For a full list of wedding services and prices please see The Knotary - Wedding Services. These prices are subject to change at any time. 

Yes! I am an ally to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and I complete same-sex marriages in Regina. I believe in equality and inclusion when it comes to celebrating love and commitment. As a marriage commissioner I consider it an honour to facilitate meaningful unions for couples who have chosen to embark on a journey of love, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

Absolutely! Choosing the person who will officiate your wedding is a big decision, and I always recommend meeting first to make sure you feel comfortable and at ease. We can connect over coffee, virtually, or by phone — completely free of charge. After our meeting, there is no obligation to move forward with a booking. It’s all about making sure you feel confident in your choice!

 I accept the following methods of payment:

• Cash or e-transfer

• Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, JCB, Discover credit cards and Visa Debit

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required upon booking to secure your wedding date. The remainder of the amount will be billed/due 30 days prior to the date of the wedding ceremony. 

If for any reason you are required to cancel, cancellations must be made in writing via email. Your refund will be the total amount paid, excluding the non-refundable deposit. 

In the unlikely event that I’m unable to officiate your wedding due to illness or an emergency, I will have a backup plan in place to ensure your day goes smoothly. This may include finding an alternate marriage commissioner who shares my values, in addition to offering a full refund for my services.
