My Services to You........

Congratulations!

As a marriage celebrant, I am here to take you through each and every step to get you down the aisle and say I do!

Why is getting married so important?

Marriage marks the start of a new journey – the foundation of a lifelong commitment to building a life together.

Why is a wedding ceremony so important?

Your wedding ceremony is where your marriage starts, where it breathes life and takes shape. A moment where you both will come together and proclaim never-ending love, appreciate each other, and share before your community of family and friends your spoken promises that your intention is to join your lives in love and commitment for life.

What is a lawful marriage?

Under Australian Law, Marriage is a contract - entered into by two people, of their free will, to the exclusion of all others and for life.

A lawful marriage is performed by, in my case, an authorised Marriage Celebrant.

A ceremony may be performed in any Australian State or Territory, on any day, in any place, and at any time that is agreeable to all parties.

What is my role as the celebrant?

My role encompasses several crucial aspects to ensure your wedding ceremony is seamless and memorable.

Firstly, I handle all the necessary legal paperwork, including:

- The Notice of Intended Marriage, which must be completed at least 31 days prior to the ceremony.

- The Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marry, typically finalised during the rehearsal.

- The signing of the Certificate of Marriage, with three different types to be signed by you and two witnesses over 18 during the ceremony.

Secondly, I meticulously craft your wedding ceremony script, tailored uniquely to reflect your love story and convey the heartfelt sentiments you wish to share with your loved ones on the day.

Thirdly, we collaborate on a rehearsal, usually held the evening before the wedding. This session focuses not on rehearsing the script, but on refining the music and choreography for the ceremony.

On the big day, I arrive 45 minutes early to set up my PA, sound equipment and signing table, to warmly welcome your guests and assist with any last-minute tasks. I then proceed to officiate the ceremony, culminating in the joyous declaration of your union.

Finally, as you embark on your journey as a married couple, I take care of lodging your paperwork and officially recording your marriage, ensuring all legal formalities are attended to seamlessly.
