For Weddings & No Funerals
OVERVIEW
Led by charming and experienced celebrant, Silvana Grdovic, For Weddings & No Funerals creates memorable, romantic, and fun ceremonies for couples - because your wedding shouldn’t be the ‘obligation’ part of the day you need to get through, it should be an enjoyable occasion.
Confident and entertaining, Silvana gets to know her couples over coffee in order to provide an intimate, joyous ceremony full of sweet personal touches. Your wedding ceremony might include cheeky mentions of how you met, or perhaps a romantic reading that will bring a tear to your mum’s eye. Whatever you have envisioned for your bespoke ceremony, Silvana will work with you so it fits into your wedding perfectly.
From the minute you reach out for an informal chat about your wedding to the signing of your marriage certificate, Silvana will be your greatest support, listening ear, and confidant, ensuring you feel excited about the planning process and the big day.
“My wife and I had a wonderful day with Silvana as our celebrant. Silvana made the planning and lead up to the wedding easy and fun. Nothing was ever a hassle and she was always quick to respond and help out. We loved the ceremony and the personal feel that Silvana gave it, we couldn’t have wished for it to be better. Thank you.” Sam

Here’s what else you need to know about For Weddings & No Funerals:
“Silvana came very highly recommended from some friends at my work and she certainly didn't disappoint. Now my wife Stacey and I are the ones who can't recommend her highly enough. She was fantastic from start to finish. Approachable and easy-going during our first meeting. She provided some great recommendations for the ceremony and was completely flexible with our ideas. She was well-organised and the ceremony ran perfectly and was prompt with the legal paperwork. A five-star service all the way! Thank you again.” Ben
About
In 2017 I completely changed my career path and started my profession as a marriage celebrant and working with children with disabilities. I halved my earnings but had never been happier and I knew it was the right decision. My life is surrounded by loved up couples and children. I look forward to creating a bespoke wedding ceremony to reflect your unique relationship. Forty something weddings later I still truly consider it an honour and a privilege to be part of your special day.

FAQ
Most civil marriage ceremonies last between 10-15 minutes with an extra 5-7 minutes for the signing of the register and certificates. Your ceremony may be shorter or longer depending on the content you would like to include but generally, allowing 30 minutes from start to finish is a good guide.
As your Adelaide marriage celebrant I believe rehearsals are optional but preferable. They help to fine tune the script and clarify the ‘when, where and why’. It is preferable that all people participating in the wedding ceremony attend the rehearsal if they are in town at the time – this includes the bridal party, readers, those involved in the giving away and the person you have chosen to operate your recorded music (if applicable). The rehearsal ideally takes place 1-2 weeks before the wedding, and preferably not immediately after the buck’s or hen’s night.
A Civil Marriage Celebrant has certain obligations under the Marriage Act 1961. I will explain these to you during our first meeting. Once these obligations are met, the contents of the marriage ceremony are up to you. I can write the entire ceremony as overseen by you or guide you in writing your own ceremony. You may wish to include symbols, a special dedication or cultural tradition or ritual.
Two people, over the age of eighteen are required to act as witnesses. They should be able to speak and understand English, otherwise an interpreter will be required. At the completion of the ceremony you, the Marriage Celebrant and the witnesses will be required to sign the Marriage Register and Marriage Certificate.
No. The certificate you receive at the end of your ceremony is a commemorative certificate and will not support your application to change your identity documents. I will lodge the official documentation with the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages on your behalf after the marriage ceremony. Once they have contacted me to advise that the marriage is officially registered (6-8 weeks later) you can obtain a legally recognised certificate from the Registry.

You too have been amazing through a postponement and a pregnancy. You took it all in your stride and it was an absolute pleasure to be part of your special day finally with darling Oakley making his entrance in the motorized Lamborghini. I am also very grateful for every time you have put my name forward on wedding sites and sung my praises. I wish you and your beautiful family all the happiness you deserve.
