Edmonton Area Marriage Encounter uses a unique “Pay-it-Forward” cost model.
Registration Fee
The Registration Fee is a set amount of $150 (or $130 if you register before the early-bird deadline).
Donation
There are fixed costs for hosting a Weekend, so the full cost per registered couple depends on the total number of couples attending. Typically, the full cost ranges from $650 to $800 per registrant (which includes materials, meals, accommodation or private discussion room for each couple, presentation room rental, etc).
The registration fee is intentionally set below the full cost. The difference between your registration fee and the actual full cost of the Weekend is covered by donations from previous attendees. Near the end of the Weekend, an exact cost per couple will be communicated and you will be invited to make a tax‑deductible donation to help continue this pay‑it‑forward model of funding.
Payment
We offer secure payment online at time of registration using your credit/debit card or e-transfer. Payments can be on a one-time basis or through monthly commitments. Payment also can be made using your personal cheque.
Refunds
Your registration fee is refundable if you cancel no later than 4 weeks before the Weekend starts. If you need to cancel after that deadline, your fees can be put towards a future experience.
