About
I am may not be a 'young' celebrant but I am certainly young at heart. I have worked as a Registered Nurse and a Learning and Development Consultant, both jobs that have required me to be able to connect with others, to be empathetic, compassionate and an advocate for the needs of others. I love my family, wine, my friends, G&Ts, gardening, good food, chocolate, kids, dogs and meeting new people and hearing their stories. I hate ironing broad beans and eggplant!

FAQ
We will have at least two meetings when I will ask you and your partner lots of questions about you and your life together.
I will also send you a questionnaire that I will ask you to fill in individually that helps me write a ceremony that is about the two of you and your story. I will send you the draft version of your ceremony four weeks before your ceremony and work with you to make any changes you require to make it your ceremony.Generally l will wear a dress or skirt and top that complements your colour scheme, if you have a themed wedding, I am happy to discuss dressing in costume, although there may be an additional fee for this.
Absolutely! As marriage is a serious and legal binding affair, all celebrants must comply with the requirements of the Marriage Act (1961) and abide by the Celebrant Code of Practice.
Not only can you write your own vows, I strongly encourage you to do to so as it is your opportunity to tell your partner and your guests just what you love about each other.
I can help you by sharing lots of sample vows and I will always help you write your own vows if you need me to.

Hi! My partner and I would like to get legally married without a ceremony at this stage - is there anyone that can provide advice as to whether we can formally sign the legal documents without having a ceremony and saying vows? We haven't submitted the NOIM as yet but have it ready. Ive asked BDM however they arent able to provide me any advice. Thank you!
Liz Manera Celebrant
Hi ya,
Yes, you can have a legals only ceremony with just the two of you, two witnesses (must be adults and speak English).
Any celebrant can do this for you, or you can go to a registry office.
You will need to submit a NOIM a minimum of 30 days before the ceremony.
The trick is that you cannot get married if you are already married, including to each other. This means that while you can have a ceremony at a later date it will have to be a commitment ceremony - you can have all the components of a normal ceremony but it cannot pretend to be your marriage. The celebrant can say something like 'While A and B took care of the legal parts of their marriage at an earlier date, this is the marriage of their hearts that they want to share with you, the people who matter to them most."
Hope all goes well
Liz
