About
You might be interested to know I'm also a business coach. IKR, a wedding celebrant & business coach? Odd hey? Interestingly, both roles share the same two basic qualities. 1. Being totally comfortable & confident in my natural habitat in front of 5, 20 or even 750 people; ensuring every single person there has an incredibly memorable & moving experience. 2. Bringing out the best in others; helping people present the very best version of themselves is extremely fulfilling for me.

FAQ
Your original birth certificates and current photo IDs (driver's license, proof of age card, etc.) and/or a passport are required for both parties. If either party was born outside of Australia and you don't have a birth certificate, an Australian passport can be used instead.
If either of you have been married previously, then you must also provide evidence of the termination of the marriage. This can be in the form of an original of your final divorce papers or if one of the parties is a widow, an original death certificate.
Please ensure that all the documents you provide are the originals, and if the originals are not in English, then a qualified interpreter must translate them.
Your Marriage Celebrant must receive a completed Notice of Intended Marriage form at least one month before the wedding. You can give it to your celebrant up to eighteen months beforehand, and it remains valid during that period.
Couples can apply to shorten the minimum notice period by making an application to a ‘Prescribed Authority’, located at your Local Magistrates Court or the Registrar of Births Deaths and Marriages. The prescribed authority can shorten the required period of notice if they are satisfied that the circumstances specified in the Regulations are met.
There are five categories of circumstances set out in the Regulations.
And, importantly, lodging an application does not automatically mean a shortening of time will be granted.
You need two people as witnesses. They must speak and understand English and be at least 18 years of age.
Typically between 20-30 minutes, depending on how many readings you have, how many elements you include in your service, and how long the signing photographs take.
You can have a surprise wedding for your guests, but you can’t have a surprise wedding for your intended spouse.
Both of you need to be fully aware that you are getting married.
On her wedding day, the Bride must sign the marriage certificate and other documents with her maiden name, or her married name if she was previously married and still uses that name. All of the signatures must be the same across all documents.
They certainly can, if that is what you want to do.
The minimum legal marriage age in Australia is 18 years, but in "unusual and exceptional circumstances" a person aged 16 or 17 can marry with parental consent and authorisation by a court.
Under no circumstances can two people under the age of 18 marry.
I would recommend that you choose to have music for your ceremony, it’s another way of personalising your ceremony. Traditionally, you would play one track at the start, for your arrival, and one to be played during the signing and one at the end of the ceremony.
Yes, you can as long as the required legal wording is included.
Or, alternatively you can say your own personal vows separate to the formal legal vows.
Depending on which package you choose, my services as your wedding celebrant will generally include:
I am also available for other special ceremonies such as:
None of these ceremonies have a legal component, so you will be able to have a ceremony that is entirely designed by you. It will be personal and meaningful and include those people who are special to you and make the celebration exactly as you would like.
You can even make some of these ceremonies a surprise for party guests, and I’m good at keeping secrets!
