I bring a fresh and positive energy from my very first meeting with couples, right up to their special day.

FAQ

  • My custom ceremonies last about 15-30 minutes depending on what your ideal wedding looks like!
  • My short and sweet ceremonies last about 5-10 minutes 

The signing of the paperwork takes about 5 minutes, so it is nice for the ceremony to be at least slightly longer.

Weather has to be taken into account with heat, rain, cold and wind as possible considerations. An alternative venue/wet weather option is highly recommended if you are choosing an outdoor ceremony. 

You can have as many wedding party attendants as you wish, or none at all! Two witnesses over 18 years of age are legally required to sign the paperwork but these people do not have to be part of your wedding party; they can be anyone you choose! If you are including young children as flower girls or pageboys, we can discuss their role and position during the ceremony so that everything runs as smoothly as possible. 

Absolutely! Most couples choose 4 songs, one to play at the processional (entry), another during the signing of the paperwork (plus a back up song in case the signing takes a little longer than one song) and a final song at the conclusion of the ceremony. It’s usually easiest to have a spotify playlist ready and have a friend or family member ready to play. Of course, there is live music as an option too!

A small table and 2 chairs for the signing is recommended (if you choose me as your celebrant, I supply these with no extra charge!) However, once I married a couple and their signing table never showed up, so we got creative and used the bride's brother's back! As you can imagine, this caused some laughter and a happy, memorable moment.

This is dependent on location and the number of guests. For custom ceremonies, I can supply a wireless PA system and wireless microphone, suitable for up to 150 guests. 

Your deposit is due when you decide to choose me as your celebrant. This is after a no-obligation meeting, so there is no pressure to drop any money straight away if you decide not to go with me as your celebrant! The balance is due 14 days prior to the wedding. 

During the ceremony you are required to sign 3 marriage certificates. I will bring the paperwork and a signing pen. They are:

  • the certificate retained by me for my records;
  • the certificate that will be forwarded to the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages for the registration of your marriage;
  • the commemorative certificate that will be given to you as a record of your marriage – this will be given to you on the day (this is not considered legal proof of marriage)

 

For an official certificate from the Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages an application needs to be submitted. I can apply on your behalf when I lodge your marriage online. The fee for the standard certificate is $60 and the certificate is posted within 2 weeks.

As soon as we met with Emma we knew she'd be our perfect celebrant. She's kind and warm and casual, and took the time to get to know us before writing us a beautiful, personalised ceremony that captured our story. Our ceremony was delivered perfectly on the day and our guests loved it, particularly the ring warming ceremony facilitated by Emma. Emma was readily available in the lead up to our wedding to answer questions and tweak the script. By the time our wedding day approached, she felt like an old friend. We'd highly recommend her to anyone wanting a sentimental, personalised wedding ceremony.

It was a joy to be part of your special day and get to know you both. I’m thrilled to hear that the ceremony captured your story in a meaningful way, and that your guests enjoyed the ring warming tradition. I always strive to make the lead-up as smooth as possible, so knowing you felt supported throughout the process means a lot.

Emma made our day. The story she told, how she explained our story with so much emotion and laughter was just brilliant. It couldn’t have gone any better! There wasn’t one dry eye in the house. She took the time to make sure what we wanted happened & make us feel so comfortable. Our day was windy and we had to change a few things last minute and she was so flexible and open to change, it just made it so much easier! I have already recommended her to friends and family & another bride has already booked her for December. I’d get married all over again just so we could have Emma be our celebrant!

We cannot thank Emma enough for being the perfect celebrant for our September 2024 wedding. Emma really took to the time to get to know us and understand our relationship to construct a beautifully personal ceremony. Emma’s calm and collected nature always put us at ease, and she provided excellent resources for writing our vows and thinking about what we wanted to include in our ceremony. We had many wedding guests comment on how sweet/personal our ceremony was and asked how we managed to find such a gem of a celebrant! We were searching for a peaceful, approachable and sincere celebrant and we absolutely found that in Emma and more. Thank you so much Emma for the warmth you brought to our wedding day, it wouldn’t have been the same without you.

Emma was great to deal with through the whole process. From the first meeting was organised making everything simple on our end as well as being very personable. On the wedding day Emma brang exactly the vibe we wanted and many guests have mentioned how much they enjoyed the work she did. Highly recommend Emma to anyone else looking for a great celebrant :)

Emma was absolutely incredible as our celebrant and made our wedding day feel so calm, fun, and wonderfully personal. Her professionalism shone through, helping everything run smoothly, and her warmth made us feel instantly at ease. From the start, Emma was so accommodating, attentive to our requests, and quick to respond to any questions, which truly made the planning process so much easier. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through our ceremony! We’re so grateful we chose Emma and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant who goes above and beyond!
