Your Ceremony: I use a questionnaire, which is completed by the couples individually. The answers provide me with the information I need to craft your ceremony. It might take a couple of drafts to get the ceremony just right. You ultimately sign off the ceremony once you are 100% happy. No surprises on the day. I encourage couples to involve family and friends in their ceremony but suggest we leave the dad and uncle jokes to the party that follows.
Wherever possible I like to meet with you face to face asap.
I want you to be happy about your choice of celebrant – am I the right person for you?
I also get to understand what kind of ceremony you want, who you are and some details regarding the logistics. We will also get some paper work done.
I then like to prepare and share a schedule of what happens when and by whom. This keeps us on track.
You will get:
As much of my time as you need
A tailored and personalised ceremony
I will listen to what you want
Material to help with Readings, Poems, Vows, Ring Ceremony etc.
Rehearsal - this is ultimately your decision but I think it is a good idea
PA system
Careful guidance through the legal requirements to ensure they are all met
Official Marriage Certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriages (NSW only, current fee is approx. $60 which will be included in my fee).
You Wont Get:
Meaningless fluffy stuff
Me taking centre stage in all your photos (celebrant photo-bombing)
