As your celebrant, it is my duty to ensure that your wedding ceremony is special and unique to you, while also make sure that all the legalities of a Personalised Ceremony are taken care of.
The most important part of my role is to listen and to guide. I will work with you to craft and officiate a ceremony that respects your wishes and any traditions that are important to you.
This is a journey we will walk together.
My Process
My process varies depending on your needs, however the following provides a guide as to how we would work together.
Initial meeting
It’s important to ensure that I am the right celebrant for you. This all starts with a no-obligation conversation. This could be a phone call, a video call, or meeting in person. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each
other and for me to walk you through the process in more detail including all the legal requirements, and for you to ask any initial questions.
Confirming the date
If you decide that I am the right celebrant for you, this is where we make it official and book in the date for your special day. A 20% deposit would be requested at this point to secure the date.
Guidance
I provide you with any guidance you may need in terms of legalities and helping you with organising your Wedding License.
Crafting the content for the ceremony
We work together on crafting your perfect ceremony. We do this collaboratively using Google Docs to ensure transparency and that we all have access to the resources.
Rehearsal
If desired, we hold a rehearsal with your wedding party to ensure we all understand what we need to do and how the ceremony will flow on the day.
Your special day
I will officiate your perfect ceremony and ensure all the legalities are taken care of.
The paperwork
Following your ceremony I take care of submitting all the paperwork to Births, Deaths, and Marriages.
Fees
I offer a couple of base packages to accommodate most couple’s needs. If your needs fit outside of these packages then a tailored package can be put together to meet your specific needs and budget. Prices are inclusive of GST.
Registry-Style Ceremony – $149.50
A basic registry-style ceremony. This is intended for small weddings, typically with fewer than 10 guests (however I do not enforce a limit).
This uses a set ceremony script which meets all the legal requirements.
I will provide you with guidance on applying for your marriage license and answering any questions you may have about the process.
On the day, I will arrive 15-30 minutes prior to your ceremony and officiate your ceremony ensuring all the legalities are taken care of.
Following the ceremony I take care of ensuring the paperwork is filed with Births, Deaths, and Marriages.
Fully-Personalised Ceremony – $499.50
If you are wanting that personal touch with a ceremony tailored for you, then this option is my recommendation.
This option accommodates more traditional components of the ceremony such as a procession, involvement from friends and family, personalised vows, etc.
I will work with you to ensure you have a ceremony that is unique to you.
Leading up to the day, I will provide you with guidance on applying for your marriage license and answering any questions you may have about the process.
Prior to the day, if deemed necessary, there is the option of a rehearsal to ensure we all know what we need to do.
On the day, I will arrive 30-45 minutes prior to your ceremony and officiate your personalised ceremony.
