Asked Questions:
Q. We would like to be married at St Andrew's. How do we go about it?
A.
For all enquiries regarding weddings please call 905-468-3363 or email standrewsnotl@bellnet.ca . The availability of the date and time will be checked. The Minister will then approve, deny, or suggest other available
times. Once approved, the date will be reserved for you. An appointment will be made for you to meet with the minister several
months prior to the wedding date.
Q. We are not Presbyterian. Is that a problem? Can we still be married at
St. Andrew's?
A. Providing at least one of the couple is Christian, then yes you can be married here.
Q. We do not live in Canada. Does that make a difference?
A. Generally no, it does not matter.
You must however obtain a marriage licence from the Province of Ontario.

at another location (e.g. hotel or indoor venue) Can we do that?
A. This can be arranged.
Q. We
would like to have our marriage at another location (e.g. outdoors, parks etc.) Can we do that?
A. The Minister
does not normally conduct wedding ceremonies outdoors for the following reasons:
1. marriage is a Holy ceremony and should be conducted in the Church
2. weather conditions and logistics may often preclude holding the ceremony outdoors
3. often there are many disruptions at a "public" venue that distract from the high and holy ceremony. (tourists
walking around taking pictures etc.)
