Marriage Commissioner
Randall Edge performs wedding ceremony services for the solemnization of marriages
within the boundaries of the City of Regina, Saskatchewan (which is the area he has been appointed to provide service to. Randall's appointment by the Saskatchewan government is for Regina. For this reason Randall does not normally accept bookings in areas surrounding Regina as there have been Marriage Commissioners specifically appointed for these areas. In order to perform such services Randall is obliged to consult with the Marriage Commissioner appointed in that area.
(As a result Randall does not normally provide services to locations such as Balgonie, Bethune, Central Butte, Condie Park, Craven, Bethune, Lumsden, Fort Qu'Appelle, Kipling, Lebret, McLean, Montmartre, Moose Jaw, Pilot Butte, Regina Beach, Saskatchewan Beach, Sherwood Forest, Truly Unique Weddings, or White City).
=====
All appointment bookings are made on a preliminary basis. To secure a booking, Randall does not require a deposit to confirm a booking but does require a booking couple to complete and fax a MA-1 information form to his fax at 306-205-2396 or by scanning the document and sending it to his email account at Randall.Edge@gmail.com. This is the only way to change your booking from a preliminary to a confirmed booking. RPS does reserve the right to cancel any booking which includes any bookings involving a payment of a deposit and there will be a 100% refund of such deposits.

The basic fee for a Marriage Solemnization ceremony: $105.00 (including GST) per ceremony performed (which includes the cost of a wedding rehearsal as well). Randall's service is provided through his registered company RandallEdge Professional Services (RPS). Please provide the payment in the same envelope that contains the original marriage license form when Randall arrives on wedding day. Randall must be given the original marriage license form before the wedding ceremony can be performed. It is requested that the final payment for Randall's services be placed in the same envelope. This approach will avoid the awkward issue of dealing with the issue of payment after the wedding service is complete and when most couples need to be wisked off for their wedding pictures. (There is no charge for mileage for ceremonies within the boundaries of Regina)
======
Most wedding ceremonies are conducted at locations that are provided by the wedding couple. Should you not have such arrangements yet made; please refer to Randall's web site for a listing of alternative locations. Couples desiring to book weddings in locations that are out-of-doors are cautioned to prepare to cope with issues like rain and wind storms. Having a widely known alternative location for the wedding service (in case of rain) just makes good common sense. Consider advising your wedding guests of the alternate location (in case of rain) right in the text of the original wedding invitations.

Randall suggests that when the weather is sunny, that the Rotary Park is ideal for small intimate wedding ceremonies. The park is located at Albert Street at Regina Avenue. In the fall, winter and early spring, couple consider making use of the Atrium public space (Noon to 5pm on Saturdays) at the McKenzie Art Gallery (3475 Albert St, Regina, SK). In order to use this space it is suggested that you visit the security desk beforehand and they will login the day and time you are looking for. These settings are perfect for wedding pictures and is available year round for booking.

Under the requirements of the Marriage Act, 1997, the couple to be married should avoid the consumption of intoxicating beverages (etc.) prior to the conduct of the marriage ceremony. The couple should possess the ability to speak and comprehend the English language in order to understand the legal nature of the marriage vows. The Act also stipulates that the timing of marriage ceremonies between the hours of 10pm and 6am (22:00 to 06:00) should also be avoided. The couple is expected to provided two witnesses for the ceremony, both of which are eighteen years of age or older.
