Spiritual Minister's Course
based on A Course in Miracles
Become a legally ordained Metaphysical Minister and licensed Wedding Officiant
in the provinces of Ontario, Alberta, Quebec and British Columbia.
Some people come to this work because they love weddings.
Others come because they are good with words, or calm in meaningful moments.
And some come because, somewhere inside, they recognize that this is a role of service — a way of standing with people at one of the most important thresholds of their lives.
Many who are drawn here also feel a quiet calling to share what they have learned about love, presence, and peace — not as doctrine, but as lived wisdom. For some, that inner formation has come through A Course in Miracles, or through years of sincere spiritual practice.
Being a wedding officiant is not about performing a script. It is about holding a moment. It is about steadiness, presence, and the quiet ability to guide people through something that will be remembered forever.
This training is not a quick certification or a technical course. It is a path of preparation — inward and outward — for those who feel genuinely called to serve couples with care, clarity, and integrity.
Through Say I Do With Love, you are invited into a formation process that prepares you both legally and professionally to do this work, and also humanly — with depth, responsibility, and heart.
If you are here because something in you recognizes both the service and the spiritual dimension of this role, you are in the right place.
A Note About A Course in Miracles
A Course in Miracles is a spiritual self-study curriculum focused on inner peace, forgiveness, and the practice of love. It is not a religion and does not require adopting any belief system.
In this training, the Course is used as a formation and inner grounding path — a way of cultivating clarity, presence, emotional maturity, and ethical responsibility.
You do not need to be “religious” to study it. You do need to be sincere about inner work.
Many of our students come because they feel called not only to officiate ceremonies, but also to embody and share a deeper understanding of love and peace in practical, human ways.
Requirements and the Training Path
This training is designed for those who feel genuinely called to serve couples with presence, responsibility, and integrity.
Because wedding officiants in Canada carry both legal and human responsibility, there is a clear and thoughtful pathway to preparation through Say I Do With Love.
In Canada, wedding officiants must hold recognized ministerial credentials in order to legally solemnize marriages. For this reason, the Say I Do With Love training path includes two integrated and complementary components:
1) Ministerial Formation (Spiritual & Ethical Foundation)
This stage focuses on inner development, ethical grounding, and personal steadiness. It is based on study and formation through A Course in Miracles. The focus is about cultivating the clarity, responsibility, and inner stability required to hold people in meaningful moments and to serve the public with integrity.
2) Professional Officiant Training (Craft & Practice)
This stage focuses on the practical and professional skills of officiating, including:
-
Ceremony structure and flow
-
Language and pacing
-
Holding emotional space
-
Professional boundaries and ethics
-
Real-world preparation and readiness
These two components are not separate tracks. They work together to prepare you both legally and professionally for this role.
Who This Training Is For
Those who feel genuinely drawn to serve couples
Those willing to prepare, not just certify
Those who value presence, responsibility, and integrity
Who This Training Is Not For
Those looking for a quick or purely technical credential
Those who want to perform without preparation
This is a path of formation and practice, not a shortcut.
