How it Works

Once you send through an enquiry we can arrange a phone call, video chat or no obligation vibe check in my home office.

Upon booking I will ask for a deposit to secure your date we will go from there.

​

Legal requirements

Don't stress! I will do all of this for you!
Once you have chosen me to be your celebrant the first thing we will do is complete your Notice of Intended Marriage.
The form must be completed no later than one month and no earlier than 18 months prior to your ceremony date. 
​Identification you need to present for your NOIM:

• Your original birth certificate OR your original current or expired (but not cancelled) passport

• Your current drivers license or other form of photo ID.

If you’ve been married before, you will need to show evidence of end of previous marriage. ​

Before you walk down the aisle you will need to sign a Declaration of No Legal Impediment.  This is usually done at your rehearsal or just before the ceremony depending on what is most convenient.
The final pieces of paperwork you will sign during the ceremony are two Official Certificates of Marriage, and the commemorative Marriage Certificate. 
You will do the signing of these Certificates at the end of the ceremony, with your two nominated witnesses. 
​Note, your witnesses can be anyone, but they must be over 18 years of age.  Also, it is good to be aware that you can't use the commemorative marriage certificate for name changes, you need to apply for an official marriage certificate via Birth, Deaths and Marriages or I can do that on your behalf.

Prior to the ceremony we must also do a Real Consent Separate meeting to ensure both parties are happily consenting to the marriage.
​
After the ceremony I will send your documentation to through Births, Deaths and Marriages. This is all done electronically by me - nothing for you to worry about and that is when it is official - you’re 100% MARRIED!

​

Rehearsal:

Having a rehearsal will depend on the pakage you choose or you could also add it on.

I do recommend a rehearsal particularly if you have a large bridal party as it gives us an opportunity to run through the ceremony and discuss any last minute questions which will make you feel more relaxed on the day.

​

Music:

I recommend you choose four songs.

One for the processional, two for signing and an exit song.
 

Colour Theme:

I will do my absolute best to suit your style, theme and colour choices.

​

PA system

You are more that welcome to play your music through my Bose S1 Pro speaker.

​

Personal vows:

There are some legal components we need to include otherwise we can create a ceremony to suit you.

We can work with any ideas you have or I can suggest a range of options for you.
If you do choose to write your own vows I will provide you with my Vow Writing Guide.

I am also happy to make you vow cards to read from.
