Congratulations to you on the announcement of your engagement.  Exciting times are ahead of you as you prepare for one of the most special days in your life –
‘Your Wedding Day’.

Your Wedding Day is about you as a couple and is a day that you share just together, or with your family and close friends, a day that can never be recaptured.  So it is very important that the ceremony be created which reflects your relationship, your dreams, your desires and your beliefs.  Your Wedding Day can be casual or formal, traditional or contemporary.

A Civil ceremony allows the freedom to choose your ceremonial destination, time and day.  Keep in mind that your ceremony is the most important part of being married, as this is where you both declare your love for each other and unite as one.

I am happy to meet with both of you either in your home or a mutually convenient coffee shop,  to discuss your ceremonial requirements and explain the required legal formalities.  If you decide on using my services, a booking and second meeting will take place to complete the required legal paperwork.  I will present to you samples of ceremonies, readings, poems, vows that can either be used as we build your ceremony or inspire you to write your own.

As your celebrant I will work together with you, to create your unique ceremony that is meaningful for both of you.  Family members can participate in the ceremony by delivering a reading, poem or participating in a cultural tradition, ritual or symbolic act.  You can choose your own vows or from material provided, I just need to say a few phrases to make it all legal, but the rest of the wedding ceremony is whatever you choose to say.

A draft copy will be sent to you for approval, you will have unlimited contact support via email or phone until our draft copy is finalised and up to your wedding day.

A rehearsal at the location of the wedding should take place either a week prior or at least 2 days before the wedding date.  This is where we will rehearse the entering of the bridal party and the positioning.  At this point we will discuss any final preparations and complete the legal paperwork to declare that you are free to marry.  Final payment to conduct the service is also required at this meeting.

I will arrive 1/2 an hour prior to the ceremony at the wedding location.  At this time I will check the necessary requirements, set up the table and chairs required for signing of the marriage certificates, chat with the groom and bridal party, liaise with your wedding planner, musicians or venue co-ordinators, and greet the Bride on her arrival. At the conclusion of your ceremony I will present you with your marriage certificate.

I look forward to conducting your Wedding Ceremony and providing a high level of service to you.
