It’s incredibly exciting to plan a wedding but it can also seem very daunting at times. As your marriage celebrant I will tailor your wedding ceremony package to meet your unique needs and requirements and do my best to eliminate any worry or stress you might have. My idea of a marriage celebrant is to support you the whole way. So if you are inviting all your friends and family, have bridesmaids and groomsmen, photographers, music or musicians, wedding stylists and so on, it sounds like you want your day to be really memorable and for all the right reasons. That means your ceremony, the really important part, needs to be done properly too. I’m sure you want you and your guests to cherish the memory long into the future. So this is the package that covers everything, gives you peace of mind and leaves you feeling very special.
♥ Firstly, you will find me an enthusiastic, professional and engaged celebrant who enjoys both the traditional and the unusual ceremony. I will do everything I can to encourage and support your ideas and together we can make your dream wedding ceremony a reality. It will be memorable and fun, relaxed yet sacred and beautiful.
♥ After a preliminary meeting to get to know you and your needs and wishes, I will help you complete the NOIM (Notice of Intended Marriage). This has to be lodged with me at least one month before your wedding and no longer than 18 months beforehand.
♥ I will prepare & lodge the NOIM & related documents, declarations and all legal components of the Marriage Ceremony professionally and reliably.
♥ I will help you create your own unique ceremony, written especially for you and with you. It can be as different as you are, there are incredibly few legal requirements that need to be included. Together we can make your dream wedding ceremony a reality.
♥ Includes two Love Bird Ceremonies iBook poetry collections.
♥ Your personal vows are something I will encourage you to create yourselves but I won’t abandon you with this and together we will make them special. Read some examples and tips on writing great wedding vows
♥ Rituals & Readings can be an interesting and entertaining way to include what’s meaningful to you in your ceremony, I will do the research for you and all you have to do is choose.
♥ If you want your bridesmaids, groomsmen or guests to participate in your ceremony I will organise and coordinate this for you.
♥ I will coordinate and liaise with your photographer, videographer & musicians in preparation for your ceremony. You want to have great photos so it’s important that the photographer and videographer know what is going to happen and when.
♥ Your Official Commemorative Marriage Certificate on the day of your wedding
♥ Includes 1 hour rehearsal for the entire wedding party at the venue, usually in the week before the wedding.
♥ A ‘How to Change Your Name After Marriage’ Kit
♥ I provide an excellent PA system which includes various microphones and Bluetooth. As well as a signing table with 2 chairs
♥ Travel is included up to 100 kms from my office, additional travel to be negotiated.
♥ Any associated costs, such as parking or entrance fees will be passed on at cost.
♥ Would you like me to tell the guests how difficult it is these days for the official photographer to get a photo of the guests without iPads and Phones in front of their faces… Do you want first rights on social media sites? These, and anything else you like, are things I am happy to mention to your guests before the bride arrives.
Together we can make your dream wedding ceremony a reality.
“She made our day so special. She held my hand through the wedding planning and gave gentle coaxing when needed. There wasn’t anything that was too difficult for her. I couldn’t thank her enough for the perfect day she helped create!”
“Where do we start! Firstly a MASSIVE thank you! You made the biggest and most exciting day of our lives so incredibly unique and special. From the first time we had contact, I knew that we had made the perfect choice in picking you as our celebrant. You had all the time in the world for our questions, agreeing to meet with us on many occasions and suggesting creative and thoughtful ideas to us to really make the day ours. You kept in touch with us throughout the process – even when you were enjoying your time in Europe, made the daunting paperwork seem easy peasy and you showed so much patience and understanding while we fussed around making decisions. You are kind, thoughtful, friendly, professional, well prepared, knowledgeable, helpful and entertaining. We have had many people comment on how wonderful the ceremony that you created for us was. I will be recommending you to EVERYONE!!”
