Leanne is an absolute gem of a celebrant! She was a tremendous help throughout our wedding journey, guiding us seamlessly through everything and always being available to address our questions. Her warmth and kindness made working with her an absolute pleasure. The ceremony she conducted was simply beautiful - she narrated our love story perfectly, making it incredibly personal and touching. Leanne's dedication to getting to know us as a couple truly shone through during the ceremony. We are immensely grateful for Leanne's incredible contribution to our special day. If you're seeking a celebrant who not only officiates flawlessly but also cares deeply about telling your story, Leanne is the perfect choice! Highly recommended!

Oh my beautiful two, these words are magnificent. Your wedding was one of the highlights so far. It was an amazing backdrop with the Sydney Harbour Bridge as your Arbour, beautiful people travelling from around the world, a reception you included me in and a Love story to last the ages. I had the honour of being your celebrant and I will always remain so very grateful that you chose me. Thank you so very much XX LEANNE

We chose Leanne to be our celebrant for our wedding in October 2023. She provided us with the legals only component as my aunty assisted with the ceremony. Leanne was warm, welcoming, gentle and easy going. She checked in with us frequently to offer assistance and ensure everything was running smoothly. I have no doubt that if she were to have done our whole ceremony it would have been beautifully said and presented. 10/10 service. There are so many celebrants out there - choose Leanne!!

These are my favourite style of Wedding ceremonies as the person who knoows you so well, gets to be the one to tell your story and share your vows too. Your wedding was magical in the Groundz and I am so grateful you chose me. Thank you and gratitude in abundance

October 2023

Leanne was very warm on approach from the very first interaction. She was quite flexible and as keen to get to know us from the first meeting as we were. We felt very comfortable through the process of submitting the notice of intention through to the wedding day. Leanne helped us organise all the paperwork and we hardly had to worry about any of it. All of our guests commented on how warn and friendly Leanne was on the day. we received comments that she had greeted our guests and welcomed to the ceremony very pleasantly. My partner and I made up our mind to have Leanne officiate our wedding from the first meeting and we did not even meet any other celebrant. She was very attentive and listened to our needs and was also very reassuring on our big day. We would highly recommend!

Your wedding day was spectacular and it was my pleasure meeting your families and being in awe of traditional outfits. You chose an absolutely amazing venue, and I was so thrilled to be your Celebrant. Thank you for this wonderful review. I appreciate it deeply

Leanne was our celebrant in November and I couldn't fault anything! She was very easy to communicate with and always willing to help and guide us in the direction we wanted to go with our ceremony. I would highly recommend Leanne to future Brides!

Certificate of marriage without the ceremony

Hi, we only need a certificate of marriage without a ceremony. This is for the partner visa application. Do you offer the service? How can we start, and what is the price? Can I have more details? Thank you.

Tears of Joy Weddings And Celebrations

Hi?

Firstly, marriage in Australia is the union of two people for life.

If you're getting married just for visa purposes, then no.

However if you need to be married to your chosen partner, the marriage still needs to be legal.

It can be between you, your partner and two witnesses over 18.

You must sign documentation to validate your marriage.

Anything we need to consider or do differently for a weekday wedding?

Hi there. We're considering a weekday wedding, maybe a Thursday or Sunday. Is there anything ] different or unexpected we'd need to consider about having a non-Saturday wedding?

Tears of Joy Weddings And Celebrations

These are becoming more popular.
Just be aware of extra work day traffic on the roads.

Some hairdressers don't open on Sundays, however, there are plenty of mobile options.

As others have mentioned, your Guests will need a little more notice to take the afternoon off work for a Thursday.

Some places will ask you to finish earlier on Sundays, but start your package earlier.

Leanne

Hello. I currently hold a Working Visa here in the UK. Could I go to Australia and get married?

My partner will be coming from Philippines. Can we possibly go to Australia and get married? Thank you.

Tears of Joy Weddings And Celebrations

Hi

You absolutely can.

You will need to complete legal paperwork a month before your wedding day.

This either must be signed in Australia or can be signed by a consulate or other in your Countries.
