About
Crafting amazing ceremonies that reflect my couples dreams for their day, is really important to me as a celebrant, for over seven years and almost 1000 ceremonies of all types from traditional, renewal of vows, and now same sex marriages has enabled me to really understand that every couple has an expectation that their ceremony will contain all the elements of their journey to their special day and along the way involve their loved families and in many instances their friends.

FAQ
Normally I meet couples at their home as I find it much more erlaxing for them, naturally my office or a convenient location are also fine.
At the meeting we discuss your dreams for the day, the theme, giving away of the bride and in many instances now I include
the groom which makes it very special for all parents.
How to involve family and friends in many special ways.
And most importantly personalising the ceremony so it is not just a lot of words by is about the couople and their journet to the day.
And I have so many rituals that can be blended into the ceremony for children, family, friends, we discuss all this at the meeting and go from there.
Nowadays the choice of celebrant is so important for the biggest day in a couples life and the choice of a professional celebrant
who has lots of experience and works closely with the couple to craft a personal and intimate ceremony that reflects their love for one another is so critical to the success of the day.
My fee for a ceremony is $620 which reflects my level of professional service from the crafting of the ceremony, multiple meetingss, a rehearsal, professional PA system including CD player for the wedding music, signing table and wedding flags if required, plus travel to 70klm.
A a preferred celebrant for many of Brisbane's leading venues my quality of service is evident, being named as one of Brisbane's top 10 Wedding celebrants by Easy Weddings 2017.
Yes and I love doing them, having conducted dozens of amazing cremonies in the most unusual places, clifftops, in the forest, boats of all sizes, beaches, under bridges, on the roof of a house, the drawbridge of a castle.
Working closely with couples to craft a themed wedding is a challenge I really take on, I have a full Navy Captains whites for beach and nautical weddings, Buddist robes for a budist themed ceremony, celtic white robes for a medieval ceremony.
Naturally the majority of my ceremonies are formal with suit and tie which I have many to choose from, but a tux on the beach is certainly not out of place these days.
Give me a calal with your ideas and we can go through.

Who writes the vows? Do we say them or have to repeat after the celebrant?
I Do Creative Ceremonies - Geoff Mazlin
I consider the personal vows the most important part of a ceremony, and encourage the bride and groom to write their own, I have a selection of vowes they can go through and amend and also a planner where there is a section on how they can write their own vowes from scratch which has been extremely popular with my couples.
Many brides and grooms though have trouble writing their personal feelings on paper, I ask them to send me their thoughts, words etc and I then compose vows for them to consider and we go from there, takes a lot of stress out of it for them.
I prefer my couples to say their vows to each other and not repeat after, if they have often spent countless hours crafting words that are pesonal and from the heart, I consider they should not hear them from someone else first.
My ceremony booklet is a small A5 tapestry covered one and the couples read directly from it and i am not in the picture, so many professional photographers comment that they wished all celebrants did it this way, but in the end it is a peronal choice of the couple and the celebrant.

Eloping is becoming far more common as the costs of weddings increases, whilst they are cost effective they do as the other celebrants have stated to be legal require two qualified witnsses to be present and sign the legal documents, I have officiated at many elopements where there have been two best friends present and the ceremony has been just with a cup of tea and biscuits.
I do however put a lot of effiort into the ceremony with regard to the wording to make it a personal as possible for which my couples who just wanted the legals have afterwards said that it made the day very special for them and thanked me.
