Yours is the only wedding that matters...

Shaughan Whalen Your wedding day should be one of the best days of your life. It’s the one time in your life when you can request – and get – just about anything you want or need.

When you choose Shaughan Whalen to perform your civil marriage ceremony, you get so much more than someone to lead you through your wedding vows.

Civil marriages can be performed in just about any location, either indoors or out.

Shaughan’s hometown of Leduc is located in Central Alberta, with easy access to many great outdoor wedding locations, from the beautiful North Saskatchewan River Valley, the Alberta Legislature grounds and the Devonian Gardens to Leduc’s Stone Barn Garden and countless other nearby scenic sites.

Shaughan is happy to travel to the small communities that surround Leduc to perform your wedding ceremony. Shaughan welcomes the opportunity to work with you to make any location the perfect wedding site. One of her favourite unique wedding spots is Em-Te Town, located in west central Alberta. Em-Te Town is an authentic frontier town and a great spot for a western-themed wedding ceremony.

Shaughan would be honoured to be part of your special day. Her years of experience in planning and conducting civil wedding ceremonies gives her special insight into what it takes to make a wedding special and unique. She will commit as many hours as it takes to making your wedding an event to remember.

I had no idea how stressful planning a wedding could be … (Shaughan’s) sense of humor and warmth helped me through some of the craziest of days, including the biggest day of them all. Shaughan was indeed our ‘marriage commissioner’, but to us she was also our rock.

One of the most important things Shaughan told my fiancé and me from the start was to “Remember that this is YOUR day”. Those words echoed in my mind over the next few months of decision making and planning, juggling and over-thinking.

From the first phone call, right to the end she was informative, supportive, professional, approachable and kind. We are looking forward to her renewing or vows when the time comes.

We were concerned what would be thought of our Wednesday Wedding at our own home (being small) but we were treated great and no different than if it was a Church Wedding with 100+ guests.

We were very happy with Shaughan as our Marriage Commissioner and we will have her renew our vows in the future.
