Celebrations by Anne Lemon is an Owen Sound wedding officiant offering ceremony services from Owen Sound, Ontario. The confirmed official website presents Anne Lemon as the officiant and provides an active request-a-quote/contact route, current mobile number and service information reviewed on August 11, 2026.

The business’s official materials focus on wedding ceremonies, including a streamlined legal option, a short ceremony option and wedding rehearsals. A street address is not published on the official website, so no mailing or meeting address is listed here.

Services and specialization

Celebrations by Anne Lemon provides wedding officiating. The official services page lists a Streamlined Legal Ceremony, described as a basic legal ceremony without religious or spiritual references; it may suit couples who plan a destination celebration but want their marriage registered in Ontario, those seeking a simple legal ceremony, or those who want a friend to lead a separate symbolic ceremony.

The published Short & Sweet Ceremony allows personal elements such as vows, readings and ring-exchange wording. The official site describes it as approximately 20 minutes long. It also states that the written ceremony is non-religious, while religious or cultural elements can be incorporated if requested.

Wedding rehearsals are listed separately. The site also offers co-officiating with a friend or family member and can provide witnesses for an additional fee, subject to advance notice.

Service area and who it may suit

Anne Lemon states that she is based in Owen Sound and performs wedding ceremonies throughout Grey and Bruce Counties. The official website also lists travel to Collingwood, Duntroon and Shelburne. Requests outside those places may be possible, but travel fees can apply.

The offering may suit couples who want a local Grey-Bruce officiant, a brief legal ceremony, a short ceremony with selected personal details, or a rehearsal before the wedding. It may also be relevant to couples who want a non-religious ceremony or who wish to include specific cultural or religious elements after discussing them with the officiant.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Confirmed features include clearly described ceremony formats, published fees, a stated travel area, an online contact form and a phone contact. The official FAQ says couples may write their own vows and that support/resources are available for preparing them. These are documented service features, rather than third-party endorsements.

There are practical limits to consider. The streamlined legal option is stated to be available Monday to Friday or at off-peak weekend times, and travel beyond 25 kilometres can attract an additional fee. Ceremonies held at Anne’s home are limited to 10 attendees, including the couple and witnesses. No street address or postal code is published on the official site, so couples should confirm any meeting location directly.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published. The Streamlined Legal Ceremony is listed at $350, the Short & Sweet Ceremony at $440 and a Wedding Rehearsal at $130. The Short & Sweet fee includes travel within Grey and Bruce Counties and the adjoining communities of Collingwood, Duntroon and Shelburne.

Optional published fees are $50 for co-officiating with a friend or family member, $30 for witnesses and $0.68 per kilometre for travel outside the stated service area. The official site also notes that additional travel fees may apply to the streamlined legal option when travel exceeds 25 kilometres. Couples should confirm taxes, final travel charges and the applicable ceremony scope in writing.

Contact and booking

The confirmed official website lists mobile number (905) 251-1091 and provides a request-a-quote/contact form. The booking process described in the FAQ begins with sharing the wedding date and venue so Anne can confirm availability. If proceeding, the business sends booking information outlining the agreement.

The official FAQ states that a $150 non-refundable deposit is required to secure the date and time. It lists e-transfer as the preferred payment method, with cash, cheque and PayPal also accepted; the final balance is due one week before the wedding date. Availability is not independently guaranteed by this profile, so contact the business before making related bookings.

Ontario legal and ceremony considerations

The services page says a valid marriage licence must be provided to the officiant before the ceremony, and two witnesses are required. For couples using a friend in the ceremony, the official FAQ distinguishes a symbolic ceremony from a legally registered marriage and describes either completing the legal ceremony in advance or arranging co-officiating.

The official FAQ states that any requested vows should be submitted at least one week before the wedding. It also explains that date or time changes must be requested in writing as soon as possible and remain subject to availability. These details should be reconfirmed directly because they are booking terms.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm the ceremony format, date and start-time window, exact venue, total travel fee, whether a rehearsal is needed and whether the location is within the stated service area. If planning a legal ceremony, confirm the marriage-licence and witness arrangements well before the date.

Ask for the current booking information in writing, including the deposit, cancellation or change terms, payment schedule, any added fees and what is included in the selected ceremony. Couples planning a home ceremony should also confirm whether the 10-person attendance limit applies to their plans.
