Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Your decision to marry is the ultimate expression of your love for one another, with a desire to share that commitment and excitement with your family and friends.
As a marriage celebrant I enjoy getting to know you, listening to your needs, and doing my upmost to ensure that your wedding day runs as smoothly as possible in every way from the 1st meeting to the completion of the ceremony itself.
The first step is to make contact, assess my availability and have a chat. I will be happy to explain the process to you and answer any questions that you may have.
~ Overseas and distant wedding enquiries are very welcome and I can offer suggestions for suitable locations and venues ~
The most important initial task is the lodgement of The Notice of Intended Marriage, a legal document which must be completed a month and a day before you are married. Birth certificates are required and a divorce certificate if you have been married before.
Once you have decided to proceed, a deposit secures you day and time; we discuss the type of ceremony that you would like and the aspects of the ceremony itself depending on your needs and beliefs.
I give you a booklet to take home with many choices of the various parts of the ceremony, including how you can include family members. The second meeting is more relaxed and we finalise every aspect of your wedding day as the excitement builds in readiness for the day to arrive.
"Look to this day! For it is life…The very life of life
For yesterday is only a dream and tomorrow is only a vision
But today, well lived… makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, And tomorrow a vision of hope!"
–Sanskrit proverb
Alternatively I can write the complete ceremony for you or you are welcome to write some or all of the ceremony yourselves.
I am professionally trained as a marriage celebrant and I am a member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants. I attend Professional Development seminars frequently to ensure that I constantly improve my professionalism and to be aware of the latest updates within the wedding industry. I can offer advice on all aspects of your wedding day and I endeavour to be prepared for the unexpected.
~ Listening to your needs is my priority to ensure that your wedding day is special in every way. ~
