Manitoba Man of Matrimony is a Winnipeg wedding officiant and wedding commissioner offering several ceremony formats for couples marrying in Manitoba. The official website describes a choice between a straightforward signing, a more structured ceremony with vows and rings, a full-service custom ceremony, or support for a loved one who will conduct the ceremony. Published fees make it possible to compare the main options before contacting the business.

This profile was last reviewed on September 25, 2026, using the company's official website. Couples should confirm current availability, package details, licence procedures and travel charges directly with the officiant before booking.

Services and specialization

The business presents itself as a licensed Marriage Officiant and Wedding Commissioner based in Winnipeg. Its website says ceremonies are performed according to Province of Manitoba guidelines and that marriage licences can be reviewed, signed and registered with Manitoba Vital Statistics.

The service options range from a legal signing to a more personalized ceremony. Package One is intended for couples who mainly want the paperwork completed and the legal questions answered in front of the required witnesses. Simple Signing Plus adds an exchange of vows, a ring exchange, “I do” statements and signing the licence with family and friends present.

Package Two is the full-service option. It includes an initial consultation, custom ceremony wedding vows with edits, service performance, rehearsal attendance and coordination, and marriage-licence registration. The website also says the officiant specializes in non-denominational services and can incorporate a requested religious reading, ceremony or ritual, while noting that the officiant is not ordained, a member of clergy or affiliated with a particular religion.

Package Three is designed for couples who want a loved one to conduct the ceremony. The website describes guidance through the process, help with the legal requirements, rehearsal attendance and registration of the marriage.

Simple Signing: legal signing and registration.
Simple Signing Plus: signing with vows, rings and “I do” statements.
All Inclusive: consultation, custom vows, ceremony performance and rehearsal support.
Performance by a Loved One: guidance and legal-process support for a chosen ceremony leader.

Service area and who it may suit

The official website identifies Winnipeg as the business base. It also states that mileage fees are extra for venues outside the City of Winnipeg, so couples planning a ceremony elsewhere in Manitoba should ask how travel will be calculated before reserving a date.

The documented options may suit couples seeking a small signing, a ceremony with familiar traditional elements, a custom non-denominational service, or a wedding in which a friend or family member takes the speaking role. The site says all couples are welcome. It does not publish a broader service-area map, venue list or travel-fee schedule, so those details remain important booking questions.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the range of ceremony formats. Couples can choose between a minimal signing, a ceremony with selected elements, a custom ceremony with rehearsal involvement, or professional guidance while a loved one leads the service. The website also clearly separates the officiant's fees from the cost of the Manitoba marriage licence.

The main practical limitation is that several booking details are not specified on the supplied pages. The website does not state current availability, a maximum guest count, a complete travel schedule, ceremony duration or a postal business address. It also does not provide a current booking calendar. These are not negative findings, but they should be confirmed before a deposit is paid.

Pricing

The official website publishes the following package prices. Package One Simple Signing is $220, while Simple Signing Plus is $295. Witnesses can be provided for $50 each if required. Package Two All Inclusive is $595. The site lists Package Three, Performance by a Loved One, at $495.

The website says a $50 non-refundable deposit reserves the date and time. For Package One, the remaining balance is stated as $170; for Package Two, the remaining balance is $545; and for Package Three, the remaining balance is $445. It says payment may be made in cash or by e-transfer and that fees must be paid before the licence is signed.

The marriage licence is not included in the package prices. The site states that the licence costs $100 and that an additional $20 charge applies for travel to the licence meeting at 2401 Pembina, identified as a Tim Hortons location, and for travel to drop off or mail the officiant's copy to Vital Statistics. Mileage fees may also apply outside Winnipeg.

Contact and booking

The official website asks couples to call or text 204-290-1492 or email layted11@gmail.com to discuss their ideas. The package pages request the ceremony date, time, address and contact information when arranging a service.

The site says a non-refundable deposit is required to reserve the date and time. Because no live availability calendar is provided, couples should contact the business before assuming that a preferred date, ceremony location or package is available. They should also confirm the current payment instructions when booking.

Phone or text: 204-290-1492.
Email: layted11@gmail.com.
Have the proposed date, time and ceremony address ready.
Confirm availability before paying the deposit.

Marriage licence information

The website says couples must purchase a Manitoba marriage licence before the ceremony and that the licence must be purchased at least 24 hours before the wedding. Manitoba Man of Matrimony states that it sells marriage licences and reviews the licence with both parties and two witnesses for the relevant signing options.

Licence requirements and government fees can change. Couples should verify the current process and eligibility requirements with Manitoba Vital Statistics, as well as confirming exactly what the officiant will handle, what the couple must bring and how the licence will be returned or registered.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, ask whether the chosen package is available for the proposed date, time and venue. Confirm any mileage fee outside Winnipeg, the exact $20 licence-meeting and document-travel charge, witness arrangements, deposit terms and the balance due date. Couples choosing Package Two should discuss the ceremony format, revision process and rehearsal schedule. Couples choosing Package Three should clarify how the loved one will be guided and which legal portions must be completed by the licensed officiant.

It is also sensible to confirm the current package prices, licence cost, payment method, ceremony duration, expected guest arrangements and document-registration process. These checks will help ensure that the website information still matches the service being booked.
