Expenses and Mileage
Depending on location there may also be a charge for mileage and accommodations. Mileage fee of about 45.85 ¢/km..This is the rate set by the province. I would be delighted to do your wedding but if you can find someone in your area you may be able to save yourself the mileage fee. ( I waive the mileage fee for the first 50 km of travel)
