The Knotary - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

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.

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.

I am a registered marriage commissioner in Saskatchewan, but if you'd like to view the full list of other marriage commissioners please visit the Saskatchewan Government Website to find a marriage commissioner in the vicinity of your wedding location.

For basic and personalized ceremonies there are two ways you can secure your wedding date:

1. By paying a non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. The remaining amount will be due no later than 30 days before the wedding ceremony date.
2. By paying the service in full. If for any reason you are required to cancel, cancellations must be made in writing no later than 30 days before the wedding ceremony date in order to receive a refund less the non-refundable deposit. 

Absolutely! Deciding who marries you is an important decision. I always encourage meeting with a marriage commissioner prior to booking to ensure that you feel comfortable and safe. We can meet over a coffee, virtually, or over the phone, free of charge of course.

I accept the following methods of payment:

• Cash or e-transfer
• Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, JCB, Discover credit cards and Visa Debit

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 or sexual orientation.

It is my practice to be at the venue a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the ceremony start. I always do my utmost best to be early and present for my commitments, however, there may be the rare occasion where I might not be able to attend due to unforeseen circumstances. If I am unable to fulfill my obligations I will assist in finding an alternate and/or you will be given a full refund. 

I do not have a physical business location due to the travelling nature of notary and marriage commissioner services. Instead, I will make arrangements with you to meet with you in a public or virtual setting. 

I'm a Notary Public of Saskatchewan as well as a registered Regina Marriage Commissioner. I typically provide these services within the Regina area, however, may be available to travel for an additional fee and mileage dependent.
