Information Pack

There’s so much about your wedding day to be enjoyed and especially the part where you officially get married - the ceremony! As a celebrant, I looove to create beautiful moments. It’s my wish that in the years to come, the memory of your ceremony will bring big spontaneous smiles as you reminisce about how fun and special it all was.

First step is to check I’m available for your chosen date, time and location. Once that’s confirmed, let me know what type of ceremony you’d like (Elopement / Simply Sweet / All About Us) and we’ll get started.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Kate

Elopement $600

Over the past few years this intimate style of ceremony has become increasingly popular. It’s also sometimes referred to as a ‘micro-wedding’.

The format is intentionally low-fuss and as short as can be, while still honouring the significance of the occasion.

Includes the option to personalise your vows and exchange rings.

If you’re dreaming of finding a beautiful ceremony location around Sydney Harbour, feel free to ask. I know lots of great spots!

This option is also suitable to book alongside a cultural marriage ceremony when a celebrant is needed simply to meet legal requirements alongside traditional celebrations.

Guests: usually best suited for up to about 20

PA system: not available

Simply Sweet $1000

A heartfelt, meaningful ceremony that includes everything you’d expect for a classic wedding. Not too long, not too short. Delivered in a thoughtful, modern way.

Your ceremony will strike the perfect balance of reverence and fun, so you can enjoy every moment as it happens.

The planning stage will be easy for you. We’ll schedule a meeting to discuss your ceremony with special attention given to the many moments that can be personalised. This can include your processional entrance, words about marriage, personal vows, ring exchange, and how you’d like to be introduced as newlyweds.

Closer to your ceremony date, let’s have a phone rehearsal to reconnect and review our ceremony plan, ensuring everything is beautifully prepared for your big day.

All About Us $1600

Your wedding, your way. A personalised ceremony that couldn’t belong to anyone else as it’s written for you, in consultation with you.

Together, my creativity and experience teamed with your input and ideas will make your ceremony the absolute highlight of your day.

I’ll take the time to understand you as a couple so when it comes to writing, your script is perfectly suited to you and your ceremony vibe. This is tailored to each couple but one thing all my ceremonies have in common is they’re designed to make you feel fantastic, and for your guests to experience a truly special celebration filled with depth and joy. Might they also wonder if we’re old friends? Yes, possibly.

With my signature attention to detail, your ceremony will be written to align with your values and preferences from beginning to end. Personal touches will be seamlessly blended to make it completely “you”. We can include your love story, rituals, readings… anything you’d like! If you’re dreaming of a particular idea, let’s make it happen.

A preview of your ceremony script can be provided with opportunity to give feedback. Or, perhaps you may prefer it to be a lovely surprise on the day. What matters most is that you feel confident and completely happy.

Closer to your ceremony date, let’s have a phone rehearsal to reconnect and review our ceremony plan, ensuring everything accurately reflects your wishes and is perfectly prepared.

Next steps

  • Confirm your booking
    Please let me know which package you’d like (Elopement / Simply Sweet / All About Us) and I’ll send you the booking papers.
    Bookings are locked into my calendar once the booking fee payment ($200) and signed Service Agreement is received.

  • Payment Terms
    $200 booking fee payment is required to secure your booking. Balance due closer to your ceremony date.

  • Notice of Intended Marriage (‘NOIM’)
    This pre-ceremony paperwork must be lodged with your celebrant at least one month before your ceremony. Earlier is better. As your celebrant I can help you complete it.

Other services / fees

  • Legal Marriage Certificate issued from the government Registry Office of Births Deaths & Marriages.
    As your celebrant, I can submit the application on your behalf. This is an optional, separate service as not everyone wants one. It’s usually ordered for official purposes such as changing your name.
    If you’d like me to arrange this for you, I simply ask the fee charged by the Registry Office to be covered, which is $68. You can let me know at the same time as making your ceremony booking so it goes on the same invoice, or decide closer to your ceremony date.

  • Travel Fee
    All packages include up to 50km return travel from Lane Cove NSW to your ceremony venue. Further travel is $2/km

    • Elopement package: maximum distance is 100km return from Lane Cove

  • Public Holiday fee
    For ceremonies held on a NSW public holiday weekend, an additional fee of 25% will apply.

Anything else to know?

  • My PA system can be available for use during your ceremony, subject to venue rules and weather forecast. Personally I don’t mind a bit of rain but my PA system must stay completely dry. I use a high quality microphone and speakers for excellent sound.

  • For meetings held in person, I’m available to meet in Lane Cove / Hunters Hill / Chatswood / Barangaroo / Sydney CBD at a café or bar of your choice.
