The Township of Guelph/Eramosa offers Civil Marriage Ceremonies performed by the Municipal Clerk or the Deputy Clerk. Services can be held in Council Chambers at 8348 Wellington Road 124 and are available by appointment only. Other locations may be arranged at the discretion of the Officiant (Municipal Clerk or Deputy Clerk). Certain dates and times may not be available throughout the year, including statutory holidays. For weddings in Council Chambers, alcohol, confetti, bubbles, rice, candles or incense are not permitted.
