Nancy Boate is a certified wedding officiant whose official website describes customized ceremonies, planning support, rehearsals and post-ceremony paperwork. For couples looking for a wedding officiant in Port Hope, Ontario, her stated coverage of Northumberland County and surrounding regions makes this a relevant local service to consider.

This profile was last reviewed on August 3, 2026. The official domain matches Nancy Boate’s name and contains substantial wedding-officiant content, including dedicated fee, legal-information and contact pages. The website does not publish a street address, so the older address associated with the directory record is not repeated here as verified information.

Services and specialization

Nancy’s official website centres on personalized wedding ceremonies. It says couples choose the ceremony content and the desired feel rather than receiving a fixed script. The site also describes her role as helping couples understand their options, plan the ceremony and prepare a customized service.

The published ceremony package includes two consultations. The first covers Ontario’s legal marriage requirements and ceremony choices. The second is described as a talk-through rehearsal used to confirm the ceremony’s details and flow; the website notes that this meeting can also take place by phone or Skype. Nancy also offers access to a ceremony-planning resource with wording and ceremony options.

On the wedding day, the package includes conducting the ceremony and coordinating as needed with the couple’s other wedding professionals. Afterward, the official fee page says Nancy files the Marriage Registry and mails the completed marriage licence to the Office of the Registrar General.

Service area and who it may suit

The official website names Northumberland County, the Kawarthas, Belleville and Prince Edward County. It also says Nancy is available at a couple’s chosen wedding location and has worked at venues in Ontario. Couples should still confirm whether a particular venue falls within her current travel range and whether travel affects the final quote.

This service may suit couples who want to participate directly in selecting their ceremony wording and structure. It may also suit those who value face-to-face planning where practical: Nancy says she prefers meeting couples in person when possible, although the website identifies phone or Skype as alternatives for the second meeting.

Ceremony planning and legal role

Nancy’s legal-information page identifies her as a religious official licensed through Celebrating Life Ministries and explains that couples should verify any officiant against Ontario’s authorized-officiant information. Her site frames the ceremony as a reflection of the couple’s commitment rather than requiring it to express a particular religion.

The website also distinguishes the record of solemnization provided around the wedding from the government-issued marriage certificate. Nancy’s listed package covers submitting the completed licence, but couples remain responsible for ordering their official marriage certificate from Ontario after the marriage has been registered. Current provincial requirements and processing details should be checked with Ontario directly.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the degree of ceremony choice described on the official site: couples select the content and overall tone, supported by consultations and a ceremony-planning resource. Another confirmed feature is the inclusion of paperwork handling after the ceremony. The fee page also provides useful transparency by publishing the base fee, deposit, payment timing and listed inclusions.

There are practical evidence limitations. The official contact page does not publish a street address or specify regular office hours. The site does not clearly state whether taxes, mileage, long-distance travel or venue-specific expenses are additional. Although a rehearsal is listed as included, the page’s detailed description specifically calls the second meeting a talk-through rehearsal, so couples who want a full on-site rehearsal should confirm the format before booking.

Confirmed feature: couples choose ceremony content and tone
Confirmed feature: consultations and a rehearsal component are included
Confirmed feature: Nancy submits completed marriage paperwork
Limitation: no official street address or office hours are published
Confirm whether travel, tax or other charges apply

Pricing

Nancy’s official Wedding Ceremony Fees page publishes a ceremony fee of $325. It lists a $175 deposit, with the balance due two weeks before the wedding. The page says payment is accepted by cash or email money transfer.

The published inclusions are two consultations, a customized ceremony, wedding-day ceremony support, access to Nancy during planning, filing and mailing the marriage documents, and a rehearsal. Couples should request a current written quotation for their date and location, particularly because the page does not specify HST, travel charges, rescheduling terms or whether an on-site rehearsal differs from the described talk-through session.

Contact and booking

The official contact page lists 905-885-2522 for calls or texts and nancyboateofficiant@gmail.com for email. Nancy asks couples to send detailed questions so she can respond with relevant planning information.

Couples who already know their ceremony date and time are directed to the inquiry form on the official website. Those ready to proceed can use its separate booking form. An inquiry should include the ceremony date, start time, venue and municipality, whether an on-site rehearsal is required, and the preferred degree of ceremony customization.

What couples should confirm

Before paying a deposit, ask Nancy to confirm current availability, the complete price for the venue, exactly what the rehearsal includes and whether travel or tax is extra. Obtain the payment schedule, cancellation and rescheduling terms in writing.

Couples should also confirm the planned ceremony’s religious or non-religious character, any readings or personal vows they want included, the final script-approval process and when the marriage licence must be provided. As with any Ontario officiant, verify current authorization through the applicable provincial information before the ceremony.
