Ontario Humanist Society Officiants offer personalized secular ceremonies for all life passages; including child namings, weddings, funerals and memorials, and other significant events.
All Ontario Humanist Society Officiants are licensed to perform legal weddings for the entire Province of Ontario.
LOCATION: We have listed our officiants in general areas of service, and indicated their ‘home base’, next to their name. Some of us travel widely and serve a variety of other areas, or we cover other areas in summer. Please contact each officiant individually to see if they are available for your specific location and dates. We will respond to you personally to discuss your request, provide sample ceremonies and offer a fee schedule, travel rates and more information.
