Leo and Jordan's wedding

Getting Married

When a couple decides to marry there's often a great sense of excitement and anticipation! On a practical level there's also often much to plan and choosing a celebrant is just one of the many decisions to be made!

Clearly you want a Celebrant who will be sensitive to your needs and one who is competent to guide you through the legal requirements and paperwork.

On the day, your chosen Celebrant should be able to deliver a vibrant, meaningful service that leaves friends, family and of course, the two of you, with the feeling that your wedding day has been joyful and memorable and that the service has been a true reflection of all your hopes and dreams for the journey on which you are embarking.

Your First Step

Alison and Rod's wedding

Call or email me with the planned date, time and place for your wedding so that I can confirm my availability.

I am happy to arrange an obligation free meeting so that you may meet me in person.

What happens when you choose me as your celebrant?

I arrange with you a mutually convenient date, time and place for our first important meeting! I will advise you of the necessary documents to bring to this first meeting, such as birth certificates, Decree Absolute, etc.

At Our First Meeting

Together we complete and sign the NOTICE OF INTENDED MARRIAGE form. This form MUST be lodged with your celebrant, by law, ONE MONTH AND ONE DAY prior to your Wedding Day!

  • I confirm all details as to the time, date and venue for your Ceremony, including an alternative venue in case of rain, should your service be planned as an outdoor event.

The Booking Fee is paid to confirm my services. It should be noted that the booking fee is non-refundable.

  • We discuss the type of Ceremony you would like, including readings, vows, and any rituals you may wish to include as well as any special requirements you may have.
  • I will provide you with as much assistance and guidance in these matters as possible. Once committed to a Ceremony I am also committed to you as a couple and to the planning of your service. You will leave our first meeting with a folder of details to assist you in some of the choices you'll need to make for your service. I also provide a booklet entitled “It’s Your Wedding” which includes sample services to assist you in planning your day and writing your vows.

We then set a date and time for a rehearsal which is usually held about a week prior to the Wedding date.

After the Ceremony

I provide you with a written copy of the service in a simple but elegant white folder including your vows, readings etc. and any other information you would like included in this memento.

As a professional Celebrant I am called upon to adhere to very strict codes of practice and, in the interests of my own growth and development, I also include a feedback form and a stamp self addressed envelope. I welcome any feedback that you might wish to give.

MAY YOUR UNION BE LONG AND HAPPY, RICH AND FULFILLING, JOYFUL AND BLESSED
