Shelley Kabelin is a Burlington wedding officiant serving couples in Halton and the Greater Toronto Area. Her official website presents three ceremony packages, ranging from a short private legal ceremony to a fully customized public ceremony. It also publishes package prices, selected add-on fees and information about her approach to inclusive, contemporary ceremonies.

The site identifies Shelley as a Metaphysical Minister with the Canadian International Metaphysical Ministry and states that she is licensed to marry couples in Ontario. It describes an approach intended to accommodate couples from different faiths, cultural backgrounds and the LGBTQIA2S+ community. These are statements made by the operator on the official website; couples should still confirm credentials, availability, the ceremony location and all current terms before booking. This profile was last reviewed on October 4, 2026.

Services and specialization

The official site lists three wedding ceremony packages. All About Us is the most customized option and is designed for couples who want their love story incorporated into a public ceremony. The described process can include conversations with the couple, a questionnaire and conversations with two people close to them. The package may also incorporate meaningful symbolic, cultural or traditional rituals, readings and personal vows.

Our Day is presented as a shorter personalized public ceremony with a wedding party, an aisle entrance, personal vows and a ring exchange. Making It Legal is the simplest option: a private legal ceremony without rings or personal vows. The site positions it for couples seeking a small ceremony, couples holding a separate celebration with an unlicensed friend, or couples having another ceremony outside Canada.

For the two fuller public-ceremony packages, the website describes planning support, a virtual rehearsal, coordination with other wedding participants, early arrival, registered mailing of the completed licence and guidance about obtaining the marriage certificate. The site also lists couples counselling and an optional in-person rehearsal as separate services.

All About Us: fully customized public ceremony, listed as under 30 minutes
Our Day: personalized public ceremony, listed as under 20 minutes
Making It Legal: private legal ceremony, listed as under 10 minutes
Optional in-person rehearsal and on-site ceremony space are advertised
Couples counselling is listed separately from officiant packages

Service area and who it may suit

Shelley states that she serves Halton and the Greater Toronto Area. The official site specifically names Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Milton, Hamilton and Grimsby in its service information. Because distance charges can apply outside a 15-kilometre radius of the business's Burlington location, couples should provide their exact venue address when requesting a quote.

The service may suit couples who want a contemporary ceremony with room for their own vows, story and selected traditions. The website expressly welcomes different religions and spiritualities, LGBTQIA2S+ couples, and couples from varied cultural backgrounds. Children and pets are also described as welcome, although venue policies and the practical details of their participation should be checked separately.

Couples who primarily want the legal ceremony rather than a longer personalized event can consider Making It Legal. Those seeking a wedding-party processional, ring exchange and personal vows may find Our Day closer to their needs, while All About Us is the option with the most extensive story-development and customization described on the site.

The site also names Mississauga, Milton, Hamilton and Grimsby
Options cover private legal ceremonies and personalized public ceremonies
The stated approach includes interfaith, culturally varied and LGBTQIA2S+ couples

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the clear distinction among the three ceremony formats. The official comparison identifies differences in customization, vows, ring ceremonies, rehearsals, arrival time and approximate ceremony duration. This gives couples a useful starting point for deciding how much personalization they need.

Another documented feature is the ceremony-writing process for the fullest package. Shelley says she gathers information through conversations, a questionnaire and input from two loved ones before shaping the couple's story. The website also explicitly discusses symbolic, cultural and traditional elements rather than presenting one standard ceremony style.

The principal limitation in the supplied evidence is that availability and date-specific terms are not published. The site does not establish whether a particular venue or wedding date can be accepted. There is also conflicting address information on the same official page: the location-space description gives 1177 Fisher Avenue, while the contact area displays 1777 Fisher Avenue. For that reason, no address is presented as verified in this profile.

Pricing

The official website publishes All About Us at $450 CAD plus HST, Our Day at $350 CAD plus HST and Making It Legal at $250 CAD plus HST. Couples counselling is listed at $100 per 55 minutes plus HST. An in-person rehearsal is listed at $100 per hour plus HST, and the location-wedding space is listed at $50 per 30 minutes plus HST.

The site states that locations more than 15 kilometres from its Burlington location incur a distance fee of $0.80 per kilometre in both directions, plus HST. It also notes that distance fees may apply to an in-person rehearsal. Couples should ask for a written total based on the venue, package, rehearsal needs and any location-space booking rather than relying only on the base package amount.

These figures were displayed by the official website when this profile was reviewed, but they should not be treated as a guaranteed quotation. Confirm the current rate, tax, travel calculation, deposit, payment schedule, cancellation terms, rescheduling policy and any overtime or waiting charges before entering an agreement.

Burlington location wedding space

The website advertises an on-site wedding space with a flower arch, signing table, parking, a private washroom and green space for photographs. It lists indoor seating for up to 10 people and outdoor seating for up to 20 people. These are published capacities for this particular space, not general limits on the officiant's ceremonies at other venues.

Couples considering this option should confirm which street number is correct before travelling or signing an agreement, as two different Fisher Avenue numbers appear on the official page. They should also ask whether the stated capacities count the couple, officiant, witnesses, photographer and other vendors; whether a weather backup is included; and what accessibility, parking and washroom arrangements apply to their group.

Contact and booking

The official website invites couples to request a free consultation through its contact form. The form asks for both partners' names and pronouns, contact information, the proposed time, date and location, the number of guests and the ceremony type. Shelley also publishes the telephone number 905-335-5531 and the email address shelleykabelin@gmail.com.

A useful first enquiry should include the exact venue address, preferred date and time, expected guest count, desired package and any cultural, spiritual or accessibility considerations. Couples interested in the advertised Burlington ceremony space should specifically request the correct address and confirm whether their guest and vendor count fits the stated seating limit.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm that Shelley is available for the date, time and venue and ask for the applicable package inclusions in writing. Couples should verify whether a virtual rehearsal is included, when an in-person rehearsal would be recommended, how early the officiant will arrive and whether delays or changes create additional charges.

Couples should also confirm the current marriage-licence requirements through the appropriate Ontario government or municipal authority. The official business site offers general guidance and states that Shelley handles the ceremony paperwork and registers it with the government, but legal procedures and identification requirements can change.

Finally, request the complete cancellation, postponement and refund terms, along with the deposit and final-payment schedule. If the ceremony involves specific rituals, readings, personal vows, pets, children or an outdoor setting, establish what is included and what must be supplied or approved by the couple or venue.
