Dear engaged couples.
If everything goes ahead with a June 14 1st step opening, l will be willing to perform weddings in my backyard starting July.
All rules will be followed as per Ontario rules to distancing, masking, the number of people etc.
If it is ok to go ahead than l will need 48 hours notice and of course depending on the weather. Please feel free to contact me once everything is ready to go!!
I know many of you would like to get married some time this year and than have your big party at a later date. So we will work together as we get closer to July, 2021.

Dear Engaged Couples;
Weddings are still happening but of course the rules and regulations are based on each area of the province.
Many couples still wish to keep their special dates and when the province opens up later they will than host the celebration that they have been looking forward to.
Even if it means allowing the minimum number of people allowed, which must include the officiant.
So we officiants are still willing to work with you to get married on your special date.
Please feel free to reach out and see how we can work together to make your date a reality.
There is always something we can!!
Looking forward to working with all couples.

Dear Engaged Couples:
It's been a long couple of months and so much has happened and changed since the Corona Virus decided to pay us a visit.. To all the couples I can only imagine what you have had to go through to try to hold onto your special day. The day that both of you have been looking forward to. Plans have had to be changed, some of you had to re-book until 2021.
Well we're sort of back into the wedding season along with some restrictions that come along with it. They are now allowing 50 people for the ceremonies and yet only 10 people for a reception. It's step forward and hoping ore good news will come in the next few weeks.
With all that's said and done, officiants are with you as some of you may still want to keep your special day for this year. There are still protocols that we all have to follow, but I am willing to help you achieve your special day.
Weddings: Religious or non, Elopements, Commitment Ceremonies, Vow Renewals and Same-Sex Marriages are a go.
Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]
or at https://www.facebook.com/Enchanted-Unions-Weddings-Elizabeth-Lobbezoo-931744863540465/. We can go through everything that you will need to know as to how to go about achieving your special day along with my special rate for the rest of the year.
Hope to hear from you soon!!

To all Engaged Couples:
As per the Government Marriage License issuing is not an essential position. But what of the couples who have the licenses already and had to cancel the Wedding Ceremony. According to our Leadership within the Community Catholic Church have been given guidelines that we and the couple must/should follow. We are still here to help you to perform your small and very intimate Wedding Ceremony: Here are our guidelines to help you:

March 25, 2020
Dear Clergy and Chaplains
Earlier today I spoke with a number of Ontario Government agencies in the hope of
getting some direction around potential issues involved with offering small weddings
during this time of non-essential restrictions.
I haven't yet heard from Thunder Bay, but was told by a Public Health Nurse and a rep from the Community and Social Services line (211) that it was up to the Church's
discretion to give the go-ahead for such weddings, for the time being.

I explained that for many couples coming forward it was a pastoral need. Their original wedding had been cancelled
or postponed, their license had a limited time frame and, they wanted to be married to one another - a comfort in
these unpredictable times.
It is a pastoral response to a need. And, at this point in
time there is no enforcement action taking place by the government.
Note: If you get a request to perform a wedding please ask is anyone has travelled out of country and returned
recently. If the answer is yes, then this wedding should not take place. Please do not jeopardize your health or that
of your family. The couple can wait out the isolation period. We have agreed that clergy and chaplains may officiate at weddings for those who have a current license under the following conditions.

1.You must observe the guidelines set out at this time by the government, namely: sanitize,
use social distancing and refrain from personal contact with the couple.
2. Wedding size must be kept to the minimum. The couple, their witnesses and
you. If they have children, they should stay with a friend or family member.
You may elect to wear a mask and gloves.
3. Where possible, the wedding must take place outdoors. This limits the amount
of time in your space and the potential touching of surfaces.
4. Everyone must practise social distancing. The couple may stand together, but
officiants must maintain a six foot space and the same for the witnesses.
5. Everyone must use their own pen to sign the paperwork and take turns doing so
with personal distance in mind.
6. Given the circumstances, the ceremony should be as short as possible, following
the guidelines of the Marriage Act.
7. Please wash your hands or sanitize before and following the ceremony.
Not everyone will be comfortable responding to wedding requests at this time and that is perfectly fine. Your health
comes first. For those who are willing, we feel that if these directives are observed, everyone will be safe and have a
great experience.

As long as all stipulations are met than we can perform a very small and intimate wedding ceremony!
