The Wedding Ceremony

This is the day that you have been waiting for. The careful planning, all the excitement, all the celebrations, the ceremony...

Getting married in Australia and Marriage Equality

• Attend to all legal requirements of marriage - this includes lodgement of all signed legal documents with Births Deaths and Marriages Registry

• The first step includes the signing of the Notice of Intended Marriage, to learn more about you both and the style of wedding you are thinking about. It’s also a great time for you both to think about what would make the ceremony uniquely yours

• A ceremony is then created by me for your valued input and discussion

• A week or so prior to the wedding, I will finalise all legal paperwork, ceremony details and venue or site facilities. Depending on your requirements, we could meet at the location to briefly oversee the plans for the wedding

• On the Wedding Day, I will arrive at least 45 minutes before the ceremony to ensure all is in place for your wedding ceremony.

• If required I will also provide a suitable PA system which includes two speakers and a cordless microphone for guest speakers

• Meet with you on your arrival and finalise all the paperwork and ensure all is set for the ceremony

• Oversee the ceremony with happiness, warmth, feeling, and spirituality

• Present you with your Marriage Certificate as a momento of your Wedding Ceremony

• Lodge all final legal paperwork with Births, Deaths and Marriages Registry

MY OTHER SERVICES

A Commitment Ceremony is one that is a very important and special occasion designed for those couples who are making a life-long commitment to each other as an alternative to the traditional marriage ceremony.

The ceremony is one that you, as a couple, have ultimately designed around your ideals and beliefs and is the special time when you openly declare and celebrate your love for each other and one day that will be remembered forever.

It is this dedication that you can announce to your family and friends as one that is committed with love and understanding and is to be celebrated by all.

The Commitment Ceremony

This ceremony truly celebrates the on-going love and unity that you as a couple have for one another.

It is the special occasion when both of you can again re-affirm your love and commitment, maybe on a special wedding anniversary or a time that has special meaning in your lives. You might want to include your children or close friends, with a thought maybe for music that brings back special memories or a piece that signifies this special time in your lives.

With your family and friends, this ceremony is one that will be treasured by all of them and is quite unique.
