Professional Training for the Modern Wedding Officiant
Whether you're brand new to the industry or looking to sharpen your skills, CSWO offers professional training, ordination pathways, and resources designed for modern wedding officiants across Canada.
You're in the right place!
Choose the training path that fits your journey.
At CSWO, we offer professional training, ordination pathways, and resources for wedding officiants at every stage — whether you're just starting out or looking to grow an existing practice.
Our Foundations courses are everything you need to become a legally ordained wedding officiant in Ontario, BC, Alberta, Quebec, or Yukon. CSWO Foundations is an approved training program through CIMM, the Canadian International Metaphysical Ministry — your pathway to ordination and provincial registration.
CSWO Foundations — Self-Paced
The complete CSWO Foundations program, on your schedule. Covers everything from A Course in Miracles to Wedding Officiant 101 — all the training you need to apply for ordination through CIMM, at your own pace.
CSWO Foundations — Live Cohort
The same complete program, delivered live over Zoom with a small group. Covers everything from A Course in Miracles to Wedding Officiant 101 — best for people who learn through discussion, connection, and real-time feedback.
CIMM Ministry Foundations
Already ordained through another religious organization and looking to switch to CIMM? This track covers the metaphysical and legal foundations you need to apply for CIMM ordination — without the wedding officiant training you don't need.
Beyond the Licence
Already ordained and legally authorized to perform weddings? This track skips the ordination piece entirely and focuses on professional training to write and deliver meaningful, memorable ceremonies — and build a business around them.
Already ordained? These focused courses go deeper on the topics that matter most to working officiants.
