“I wish I could give Bernadette ten out of five stars for her role as celebrant at our wedding. From the moment we met, Bernadette was the utmost professional and was also a pleasure to be around. On the day, Bernadette helped with some of our setup and was so open to adapting to any changes that we wanted to make on the day. What's more, she is such a pillar of support and positivity and helped to keep us both smiling and happy through the nerves. Bernadette genuinely played a huge role in helping to make our day as special as it was, and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a warm and happy ceremony.

About
I’m 30 (something 😉) so there’s lots to tell, but in brief.. I grew up in Melbourne, met hubby at high school, reconnecting 10 years later while adventuring Europe. 11 years on, (married for 6) we have created our dream life together on the Sunshine Coast, making the most of the glorious weather and relaxed lifestyle while we raise our beautiful girls Vada and Elke as they lead us on many adventures.

FAQ
If you want to have a legal ceremony you need 1 months notice. You must fill out a notice of intended marriage (NOIM) and it needs to be signed 1 month before the big day with an authorised person (like myself!!!)
NOIM attached:

You can legalise the ceremony at a later date with two witnesses if you want to have a ceremony earlier than 1 month.
I have done this several times before, please get in touch if you wanted to chat about your options.
Sadly no, you need to apply for your legal marriage certificate with Births, Deaths and Mariages.
This is the Queensland link to BDM- Remmeber you need to apply in your own state.

I would find some local accommodation ideas and baby sitters and then address the "issue".
Telling her firstly you wont be having children and then following on with but, I have some great accommodation and baby sitting options so you can still bring them and they can be close by but can also get baby sat so you can let your hair down.
There are lots of reason you might not want children at your wedding so think of a few that might resonate with your sister to let her down easy.
I have children and know first hand that even if they are easy going kids, they will still be hanging off you, wanting food, sleep, drinks.. Having a child free wedding allows all parents t let their hair down for the night and make the most of their time away. Highly recommend (from experience).
