About
My life goals are to follow my dreams and surround myself around positivity. I was extremely humbled by my best friends asking me to marry them out of the blue, this has opened up an amazing journey of happiness and great experiences. Outside of being a marriage celebrant I run my own corporate clothing/merchandise business and do part time acting which I love and have been doing for 10 plus years.

Get Expert AdviceMy daughter is being married in 12 months time . Am I able to become competent in that time to perform her wedding?
Weddings By Steve Veenstra
It can be completed, and you can become competent with in this time... The course does take time to complete and then completing the government registration can take time also so I would do some research in this area first. If you can complete the course and gain registration within the 12 months, then in that time I would contact some experienced celebrants to gain further "performing ceremonies" advice and techniques etc. I hope this helps :)
What time should my ceremony be?
We're making a ceremony local due to a close family member that can't go far. Our reception venue is 1 hr away, We'll need to arrive around 6:30-7pm at reception. We have a wedding photoshoot prior to the reception venue, this will be about 2 hrs.
Weddings By Steve Veenstra
I would recommend 2.30pm - 3pm start - guest to arrive 20 to 30 mins prior to ceremony commencing and all guests to be seated and welcomed 10-15 minutes prior to the ceremony. I hope you have a wonderful wedding :)
Elopement In A Hotel Room
I'm thinking of eloping in a nice hotel suite/room. Do we have to advise the hotel of an elopement if it's just going to be in the hotel room with 2 witnesses?
Weddings By Steve Veenstra
Yes you can... All you need is two witnesses present over the age of 18 years and your marriage celebrant :)
