Weddingbella is a Marriage Officiant business based just outside the city of Winnipeg near Birds Hill Park (Manitoba) that services the City of Winnipeg and many rural areas in Manitoba. I am a licensed and experienced Marriage Commissioner that provides couples with a one-stop experience. From the aquisition of a Marriage License, to the rehearsal and ceremony, plus assistance with completion of the Marriage Certificate Request form, I ensure that your ceremony needs and all legalities are taken care of so you can concentrate on other Wedding Day details.

Services Offered

Weddingbella offers services for single-faith, multi-faith, and non-religious ceremonies as well as civil unions and vow renewals. We love incorporating cultural elements and traditions as well. If to-be-weds want to be wed by a loved one (personal officiant), our team also offers "Helping Hand" services by being the legal signatory and other assistance, such as vow creation, assisting with writing a ceremony or simply providing resources to help their personal officiant create a wedding ceremony that looks and feels like a professional officiant. Every couple can anticipate a ceremony that truly reflects their wishes and needs, tailored just for them.

SERVICES AND FEES: Effective January 1, 2026

Uniquely Yours Ceremony ($400 or $525 with rehearsal)

Wedding ceremonies are a personal and intimate exchange of love, which is why the Uniquely Yours ceremony is a favourite choice amongst couples. Your ceremony will be a reflection of you, incorporating cultural traditions, faith-based beliefs, or traditional elements. Weddingbella will schedule a Zoom meeting with you, then customize your ceremony down to the smallest detail ensuring that it is Uniquely Yours!

Mini-Matrimony Ceremony ($300 or $425 with rehearsal)

The time-saver ceremony. You provide us with your vow and ring exchange selections (don't worry, we have resources to help you with that), and we'll write you a beautiful ceremony approximately 10 minutes long. Before you know it, your "I Do's" are finished and you're ready to continue the celebration with your loved ones!

The Quickie Ceremony ($200)

No need to shake the nerves off for this ceremony....it's not a ceremony at all. A quick exchange of verbal and written legalities in front of 2 witnesses (and your officiant) and your married!

Vows are not included in this ceremony, however a short ring exchange can be added at no extra charge if desired

Perfect for couples planning a destination wedding and want to "make it legal" before their tropical sandy beach wedding.

Wedding Rehearsal ($175 on it's own with no other services)

The Wedding Rehearsal is an important service to consider when planning your wedding. A one-hour wedding rehearsal is usually sufficient in ensuring that the ceremony goes smoothly. While not mandatory, a rehearsal is encouraged if you have a medium-large wedding party, have small humans/kidlettes walking down the aisle or have incorporated additional elements in your ceremony (practice makes for a perfect wedding ceremony)

Helping Hand

The Helping Hand service is often used when couples select a friend or family member to officiate their wedding. We will assist your Personal Officiant by providing our advice and guidance on creating the ceremony, or review the ceremony to ensure it includes all the legal requirements. We will also assist them with running your rehearsal.

To legally marry you and your fiancé, your Personal Officiant will require a Temporary Marriage Officiating License from the Province of Manitoba. For a few dollars more, we can provide the legal signature at your ceremony, saving your Personal Officiant's time and anxiety of applying for their own license. We also take care of all the legal paperwork, ensuring error free forms are sent into Vital Statistics in a timely manner. Your friend or family member still performs the ceremony, while we ensure the legal obligations are met.

Depending on how many services are requested - bundling discounts applied. Contact Weddingbella for a quote and a list of all Helping Hand services.

Mileage fees: apply to rural Wedding Rehearsals and Ceremonies only (starting at 0.50/km)

Marriage License ($100)

Before tying the knot, a Marriage License is required. Weddingbella can provide this service to you.

Marriage Licenses must be purchased at least 24 hours prior to the ceremony and are valid for 3 months.

• Identification
• Parental BIRTH Names and Place of Birth (biological parents only but also applies to deceased parents)
