Last reviewed: August 11, 2026. Aileen Dockerty is an Ajax wedding officiant and certified celebrant for couples seeking an Ontario ceremony with room for personal wording, vows and symbolic rituals. The confirmed official website identifies Aileen as a licensed wedding officiant in the Province of Ontario.

Based in Ajax, the business serves Durham Region, the Greater Toronto Area, York Region, Northumberland County, Peterborough and the Kawarthas, among other Ontario locations. Published wedding-ceremony pricing begins at $325 for a legalization of marriage and ranges from $495 to $695 for listed ceremony packages; travel and selected additions can affect the final total.

Business overview

Aileen Dockerty’s official website presents a professional certified celebrant and Ontario-licensed marriage officiant. Wedding work centres on planning, writing and leading ceremonies that can reflect a couple’s values, beliefs, cultural background and desired level of personalization.

The business also mentions vow renewals, handfastings, commitment ceremonies and life celebrations. This profile focuses on the wedding-related offerings. The official site states that LGBTQ2S+ couples are honoured, respected and cherished.

Services and specialization

Wedding options include a short legalization of marriage, a prepared Naturally Sweet ceremony, a customized I Do ceremony and an Ultimate Wedding Ceremony written specifically for the couple. The official site says the listed wedding packages include a written ceremony-planning guide and written rehearsal guide.

Couples can make their own personal vows if desired. The customized packages include ceremony preparation based on the couple’s wishes, while the Ultimate Wedding Ceremony can include planning meetings, a written story about the couple’s journey and guidance with vows.

Documented special-element options include handfasting, sand, ring-warming, rock, wine, wine-box/love-letter, unity candle, glass breaking, rose and broom-jumping ceremonies. Confirm whether the preferred element is included in the chosen package or priced separately.

Service area and who it may suit

The official contact page says the business operates from Ajax and serves locations throughout the Greater Toronto Area, York Region and Durham Region. It also names Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Markham, Vaughan, Toronto, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Oshawa, Uxbridge, Port Perry, Clarington, Cobourg, Port Hope, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Northumberland County, Peterborough and the Kawarthas.

This service may suit couples looking for either a concise legal ceremony or a more individualized ceremony that incorporates their values, cultures, beliefs, personal vows or symbolic rituals. Couples outside the normal service area should ask about travel costs before booking.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed feature is the choice between a straightforward legalization-of-marriage service and three published wedding-ceremony packages with increasing customization. The official site also states that listed wedding packages include completion and submission of legal marriage documents for registration.

Another documented feature is transparent base pricing for the main ceremony options, witnesses, rehearsals and handfasting. The site also describes an inclusive approach to diverse cultures, beliefs, gender and traditions.

A practical limitation is that the official site does not publish a complete travel-fee schedule, a fixed price for every special element or a live availability calendar. Couples should confirm whether their date and venue are available and obtain the full total in writing.

Pricing

The official site lists inclusive pricing with no additional tax for three wedding-ceremony packages: Naturally Sweet at $495, I Do at $595 and Ultimate Wedding Ceremony at $695. The short legalization-of-marriage service is listed at $325 inclusive. It can take place at Aileen’s Ajax office or at the couple’s location; services outside Durham Region may be subject to travel expense.

A full handfasting ceremony without legalities is listed at $525. A combined wedding and handfasting ceremony is listed as a $95 addition to the selected package. The Ultimate Wedding Ceremony package can include one special element; other additions may carry fees.

A $200 retainer is stated to secure a booking, with the balance payable 30 days before the ceremony date. Rehearsal attendance is listed at $200, or $275 for Friday-to-Sunday rehearsals, plus applicable travel. Two witnesses are required for an Ontario marriage; subject to availability, the business can provide witnesses at $35 each, paid directly to the witnesses.
