Your
Wedding Ceremony I believe in hopes and
dreams and everything magical.
I believe that your wedding day will be just that,
truly magical and truly memorable.
I love being a Celebrant and I would be honoured if
you chose me to officiate at your wedding. It would
be my pleasure to help make your Day so special, so
happy and so stress free!
Being professional in my approach and giving
personal service, reflects my warm and caring
nature. I like to get to know my couples, so I hope
I can be part of your wedding and the months leading
up to it.
Your Ceremony will be personalised just for you. We
will work together to create your magical day.
Please allow me to outline the services that I offer
and what I commit to with all my couples who engage
my services.
● We meet and talk about your wedding ceremony - I
come to you!
We discuss the type of ceremony you both desire and
how you picture it happening. This is also a 'get to
know' each other meeting. It is relaxed. I explain
that some legal documents have to be filled out.
The 'Notice of Intended Marriage' has to be
completed at least one month and one day before the
wedding. If you like what you see in me, we go ahead
and complete the NIM. I have to sight both your
original Birth Certificates and, if previously
married, the Decree Absolute.
I provide you with my Wedding Manual. This is for
you to take and peruse at your leisure. In it, there
are lots of ideas for the ceremony. There are
examples of vows, readings and poems. How about
having my unique Sand, Candle, Wine or Rose Ceremony
included. If you want to have something of your own
included in the ceremony, then that is ok. I will
help you with the wording and will weave it into the
ceremony.
This meeting usually lasts an hour and a half to two
hours.
● We meet a second time before the big day. It's at
this meeting that we finalise the order of ceremony,
the chosen readings and vows and other elements you
have decided to incorporate, if you wish I will
compose as part of the ceremony a personal
introduction, or your story. Your family and friends will
enjoy hearing about the journey you both took from
first meeting, the proposal, the engagement to being
here today.
● We keep in contact by email or by phone and the
month preceding the ceremony I will show you a draft
of the completed ceremony for your approval.
● We conduct a rehearsal a week before the ceremony
if you so desire, with all the participants present.
● I arrive at the ceremony 30-45 minutes before-hand
to arrange the ceremonial setting and to re-assure
the groom and his attendants. I will liaise with the
photographer, videographer and the person who is
responsible for the music to ensure the smooth
running of the ceremony. I will greet the bride, her
father and her attendants as they arrive for the
ceremony. Once in place, I will return to take my
place beside the groom, I then gesture for the
bridal music to start and hence the ceremony begins.
I believe my ceremonies are memorable and I will
make yours so special that your day will live in
your hearts forever.
Included in the services I offer are as follows:-
My fee, as discussed at our initial meeting or phone
call includes all our meetings, travel costs,
parking and GST.
● I provide a table, with a beautiful handmade table
cloth for the signing.
● I provide a PA system with a headset microphone for
myself and a hand held microphone for the ceremony
for the readings or poems.
● I will submit all the legal paperwork to the
Births, Deaths and Marriages Registrar.
● I will give you a decorative copy of your
ceremony.
● I will give you a beautiful, handmade candle,
inscribed with your names and date of wedding as a
special gift from me.
● Please ask me about my unique Sand, Wine, Rose,
Candle or Rope Ceremonies as I can incorporate these
into your wedding ceremony.
