Wedding Officiant in Niagara, Ontario
A wedding ceremony should sound like the people getting married.

Your story. Your promises.
I’m Jared Miller, an experienced wedding officiant, minister, mediator, and writer. My experience in ministry and creating personal services shapes the care I bring to a ceremony: listening closely, finding language that feels like you, and giving readings and rituals a thoughtful place.
I am registered to officiate through the Presbyterian Church in Canada. We’ll discuss your beliefs, traditions, and preferred language together, including the place of prayer or religious elements.

Your quote confirms the package, any extras, and applicable taxes before you book. Travel outside Niagara and any rush fee are quoted in advance.
Can we add a rehearsal or more consultation time?
A rehearsal can be added to The Promise or The Story for $175. Rehearsal direction is included in The Gathering. Extended consultation is $100/hour.
Can we write our own vows and include traditions?
The Promise includes traditional vows or personal vows supplied by you. The Story adds writing guidance; The Gathering adds dedicated vow coaching. We’ll discuss the readings, rituals, beliefs, and family, cultural, or faith traditions that matter to you, including the place of prayer or religious elements.
