HOW DO WE GET STARTED?
Contact Me
Email or call to arrange an online, no-obligation meeting to see if I'm the right celebrant for you.
I'll talk you through the legalities, how I approach creating a ceremony and answer any questions at all that you might have. It's also a great chance for me to get a feel for what you have in mind for your wedding day.
Ceremony Creation
Work with me to plan a fabulous ceremony with a bit of spark! Creating a custom ceremony is a two way street. Once I've drafted your ceremony we go back and forth until you're happy with every single word.
Notice of Intended Marriage
Both parties to the marriage will need to complete a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) and submit it to me no later than one month prior to the wedding and no longer than 18 months prior.
Statutory Declaration
Prior to the wedding you will also need to sign a declaration stating that you are over the age of 18 years, that you're not in a prohibited relationship, that you're not already married to someone else and that there is, to your knowledge, no reason that you cannot legally marry.
Documents
Prior to the wedding I will need to sight original copies of the following documents from both parties:​
-
Birth Certificate OR Passport
-
Photo identification such as a driver's licence
-
Proof of termination of any previous marriages
Wedding Ceremony
Show up on the big day and enjoy yourself, have a couple of laughs, a few tears and enjoy every moment knowing that I'll be there to guide you through the whole ceremony.
WHAT DO YOU CHARGE?
A $200 deposit will be due upon booking, after your first obligation-free meeting, with the remainder due one month prior to the event.
Weddings
I have a variety of wedding ceremony packages available ranging from $380 to $880. You can download the package options here. If you have any questions at all about the package options or would like to arrange an online, obligation free catch up to find out if I'm the right celebrant for you then please don't hesitate to contact me.

Commitment Ceremonies, Renewal of Vows and Naming Ceremonies
Ceremonies of these types vary greatly in nature and require a customised quote. Please contact me and share as much detail as possible about your proposed celebration to receive an indicative quote.

Documents in a foreign language will need to be translated by a NAATI accredited translator
