Your Wedding
Congratulations on finding that special person to marry. It’s certainly worth celebrating!
Getting married is a significant milestone of life and a pretty special thing to experience. As your celebrant, I will:
Make your marriage ceremony amazing. When you reminisce in the years to come, I’d love for the ceremony to be your favourite part of the whole day. To do this, I’ll make the effort to get to know you and how you’d like your ceremony to be. Perhaps you’re wanting something intimate or grand, traditional or modern, formal or lighthearted… all possible! But safe to say it won’t be boring, or too long, or monotone, or any of those other things that nobody wants yet most of us have sat through at one time or another. I only do great weddings.
Make the planning process enjoyable. Yes, even for non-planners. I’m known for my easy-going nature but behind the scenes I’m super-organised so you can relax any pre-event jitters in knowing everything is under control. For anxious types, my background experience in meditation definitely helps in offering a calming influence and if you like, we can look at ways to support managing nerves and anxiety throughout the planning process and of course especially on the big day.
Simplify the legal requirements. Alongside all the celebrations and fun stuff, there’s also a bit of paperwork. I’ll guide you through each step, making it as easy as possible.
Your Ceremony in 4 Easy Steps
To get things started, let’s chat over the phone or meet in person. Then, we’ll work out the details of your ceremony and make it happen!
1. Contact me
Get in touch to find out if I’m available on your chosen date. You can also request my info pack which outlines the three types of marriage ceremonies that I offer.
Still not sure? Let’s schedule a phone call to chat further. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.
Bookings are locked into my calendar after the booking fee of $200 is received, along with signed service agreement.
2. preparation
I’m here to make the planning process fun and easy.
If you’ve chosen to have a personalised ceremony, we’ll schedule a preparation meeting (usually 3-4 months before the big day is ideal) for an in-depth chat about your ceremony, with special attention to how it will be customised.
I can also assist you with writing vows and any other resources you may need, including ideas for traditional and modern marriage rituals, readings, and music inspiration.
Closer to time we can schedule a phone rehearsal so you can relax in knowing what to expect, and I can make sure everything runs smoothly.
3. The Ceremony
It’s your big day! Thanks to our earlier preparation, I’ll be ready to deliver your ceremony exactly as planned.
During your ceremony I’ll be a calm presence while guiding you through each stage including the vows, signing marriage documents, and introducing you as newlyweds.
Congratulations, you’re now married!
4. post-ceremony
As you coast into the sunset of wedded bliss, I’ll still be working for you behind the scenes as I lodge the paperwork to officially register your marriage.
If you need an official marriage certificate this can be happily arranged on your behalf.
