Wedding Ceremonies
Congratulations on your engagement!
Now you’ve reached the very exciting time of beginning to plan your ceremony!
I would love to meet you both and be your marriage celebrant. I provide gorgeous, sentimental ceremonies for all couples.
I feel it is important that your ceremony reflects the two of you, your beliefs, wishes, style and with those you wish to share it with.
Get in touch to arrange a meet. We start off with an obligation free chat, so I can get to know you both with a drink on me!
We can chat about your ideas and I can answer your questions and set your mind at ease by outlining the easy steps in the process.
I look forward to exploring your vision with you, ensuring your personalities and taste are reflected in your ceremony,
that’s perfect for the two of you!
Your marriage ceremony is a very cherished moment in your history as a couple. Your ceremony is the day you enter into a marital contract by exchanging vows which unite you, in the exclusion of all others, voluntarily for life. Your ceremony enables you to share this marriage commitment as a celebration intimately or elaborately, and usually publicly amongst your family and friends.
As an authorised civil marriage celebrant, I have a duty of care to attend to all the legal aspects to officialise the appropriate paperwork with the Attorney-General’s Department and with Births, Deaths and Marriages to solemnise your civil marriage ceremony according to Australian Law. I guide you through the relevant documentation of what you need to marry in Australia before and after your Ceremony and am happy to help you with any advice whenever you need.
I professionally plan, create, facilitate and deliver your ceremony to meet your choice in size, style and budget.
I create and include either a shorter standard script which focusses on the legal aspects to solemnise your marriage, or a personalised script which additionally reflects your characters, story, beliefs, values and commitment to each other. I look forward to discussing your choice to include some ceremony optional extras, such as your own vows, music, a reading, a poem and even a personalised ritual or a cultural tradition that can take place using props to symbolise relationship beliefs, which can also include special family members and children to take part.
A ceremony rehearsal will take place, ideally one week before your ceremony, to finalise everything, ensure everything will run smoothly and your bridal party know where to walk and stand.
I will arrive on the day in a timely manner to set up, await your guests arrival and delightfully perform your gorgeous wedding ceremony in a professional and friendly manner and am very excited to legally declare you as just married!
