FAQ
I sure do! I ensure that we go through the NOIM, DONLIM, and certificates on the day to ensure you are legally married. I also lodge your paperwork with the relevant authorities and order your certificate to be sent directly to you so it is one less thing to worry about!
Finding the right celebrant that fits your vision for the ceremony is important and the best way to find the perfect celebrant is to meet with them or at the very least have a chat on the phone!
Don’t settle for a celebrant that you don’t feel comfortable with. Choose someone who:
· Is the right fit and personality for your day
· Informs you of the legalities of a civil marriage
· Explains and takes care of the paperwork required
· Gives you plenty of ideas/advice/tips for planning your ceremony
· Listens to your ideas and involves you in the process
· Makes sure your ceremony is everything you dreamed it would be!
As your marriage celebrant, I will work with you to co-create a personalised, personally meaningful, wedding ceremony. Your wedding can and should be an authentic expression of who you are - both individually and as a couple - your love for each other, your hopes and dreams for your relationship, your shared values and visions.
I welcome your creative engagement with the development of your wedding ceremony in whatever way works for you. If you want specific things included we can include them, such as readings, rituals, traditional inclusions or non-traditional inclusions.
The day is about you as the couple, not the celebrant!
I absoultely do! I want to make sure that your wedding day goes perfectly, and therefore, would love to offer a rehearsal to get every little thing up to the highest standards!
Absolutely! If a wedding is within 50km of my suburb (Manly), I am happy to travel at my own cost. Anything further than this, I would be willing to travel to your wedding for a small travel fee.
I'm a bright and enthusiastic celebrant who loves to take care of the logistics for you and create original customised ceremonies!
I will arrive at least 1 hour before your wedding! This is to set everything up and ensure that when you arrive, your ceremony is ready to go!
The majority of ceremonies I perform are between 20 – 30 minutes in duration. However, your ceremony can be as short or as long as you would like! This most often depends on what you would like to include and just how personalised you would like everything to be.
I always make every effort to co-ordinate as best I can to your bridal colours and styles, so tell me what colours your bridesmaids are wearing, what flowers you will carry, and the theme of your wedding, so I can fit in as best I can.
You don’t have to have a formal, traditional ceremony, at all. You can be light and friendly and casual, or funny, or elegant and simple – or anything you like. No need to pretend you are anything that you aren't...
