Weddings
Weddings are very special and the ceremony that you choose, be it formal and classical or informal and funky, will reflect the bond that you share and your own personalities and characters. It is a time to rejoice in everything that makes you a loving couple, with a lifetime of experiences to share.
I hope that you will find this information useful when planning one of the most memorable days of your life — your wedding day.
Your wedding ceremony includes:
- A professional, registered and experienced celebrant who is sensitive to your needs.
- Consultations and communication as needed.
- Completion, witnessing and lodgment of all legal documents according to Australian law.
- A full range of options presented and discussed to make for a truly personalised and happy occasion celebrating your special bond.
- Designing and drafting of a ceremony for your consideration and approval.
- Optional rehearsal at a mutually agreed venue.
- Checking the placement of chairs, table and flowers.
- Conducting the solemnisation ceremony on the wedding day.
- Liason with photographer to ensure best view for photographs.
- Portable PA or CD system so that the ceremony is audible to all guests.
- Providing a commemorative copy of your wedding ceremony in a leathergrained folder.
- Optional appreciation certificates for bride/groom attendants.
- Forwarding Marriage Certificate to Birth, Deaths and Marriages Registry.
I can advise you on all the options available for your wedding ceremony. I will provide you with an extensive range of ceremony ideas, vows, poems and verses for you to choose from. You are most welcome to include your own vows, special poems or readings.
I will compose a draft ceremony which you can amend and contribute to where necessary. You can contact me as often as you need to. You have final approval of the ceremony draft. It is important that you are entirely happy with it.
Your wedding ceremony can take place anywhere: a garden, a park, the beach, or a function venue. The choice is yours, however, keep in mind an alternative venue in case of inclement weather on the day. I am happy to solemnise your marriage wherever you wish (with some exceptions, for example, while abseiling, snorkling or skydiving!)
