Pastors & officiants
A sacred promise. At the heart of your day.

What this covers
Pastors & officiants
The ceremony is the reason for the day. If you already have a pastor or a church, your planner works around them. If you are looking for an officiant who shares your faith, DOVE can help you find one and shape a ceremony with prayer, Scripture and worship where you want them.
Conversations often begin with
- Planning around your own church and pastor
- Finding an officiant who shares your Christian faith
- Thinking through the shape of the ceremony: readings, prayer, music, vows
- Coordinating rehearsal timing with the rest of the day
Worth thinking about
Practical considerations.
Your church comes first
Many congregations have their own requirements for marriage preparation and ceremonies. Your planner respects those and plans the rest of the day around them.
Traditions differ
Couples come to DOVE from many Christian traditions. Tell us what is meaningful to you, and we will listen rather than assume.
Legal requirements
Officiants confirm their own registration and the marriage licence requirements for Alberta. DOVE does not make legal claims on anyone’s behalf.
