Weddings

It can be difficult to know where to start when planning your wedding ceremony. All of a sudden you’re faced with selecting readings, writing vows, incorporating traditions, including family and friends – it can be extremely overwhelming. That’s where I come in. My role is to guide you through this process and make it not only easy, but enjoyable, too.

Together we will work to create the perfect ceremony that will be remembered with great joy by you and your loved ones for the rest of your lives. We can include tradition if that is what you would like or include any of the following ceremonies: hand ceremonies, sand ceremonies, tying the knot ceremony, whatever takes your fancy.  We can include members of your family or friends. 

At our initial meeting, we will discuss your thoughts on the design of your ceremony, it's essential that you trust and feel comfortable with your celebrant, so I offer an obligation-free meeting to see if I’m the right celebrant for you.. The Marriage Act 1961 has several legal passages that must be recited, but the rest of the ceremony can be created to reflect your personalities and commitment for each other. Also at this meeting, you sign the Notice of Intended Marriage, which must be done no later than a month before the wedding.

Prior to the wedding, I must sight the following documents:

• Photo ID, such as a driver licence or passport
• If you were born in Australia – an Original Birth Certificate
• If you were not born in Australia – either an Original Birth Certificate or an overseas passport
• Either Divorce Order or Death Certificate of spouse (if applicable)

Between the initial meeting and your wedding day, we will communicate as often as necessary to finalise the details.

My equipment

• Professional PA system with wireless microphone and 8 hour wireless battery life.
• Signing table and chairs if needed.
• Black Lecturn
• Wardrobe – yes! You want me to compliment your wedding, so I will wear something that we agree is perfect for your special day.

I’m excited to learn more about the two of you and the life you share together.
