**The way marriage commissioners in BC quote has recently changed and can vary from person to person depending on how they choose to quote (either as a package deal or a la carte by the hour). The fee is charged based on the number of hours a marriage commissioner spends with the client beginning with any detailed discussions of vows/ceremony timing through to general guidance sought out by the client, to rehearsal, and finally on day ceremony officiating. Most often it comes out to $150-$200.00 including the rehearsal. The government takes a considerable portion of the fee quoted so gratuities are always appreciated when a marriage commissioner has shown extra care and kindness in their efforts.
