Your Wedding * * * *
…..Is likely to be the most important day of your life and you want to ensure that everything is organised to the very last detail.

As a Civil Marriage Celebrant, it is my job to ensure that you, the Wedding Couple, have every opportunity to express yourselves in your own individual way.
No two marriages are the same and each couple want their wedding to be an occasion that will never be forgotten, either by themselves or their families and friends who attend the ceremony.

It is with this in mind that I take a great deal of pride in making your day a memorable one. 
I will co-ordinate my services with your other service providers (Musicians, Photographers, Wedding Planners and Venue Co-ordinators etc.), to ensure the smooth running of your wedding.

I will give you some useful tips regarding the vows that you choose, the positioning of your Bridal Party and the Ring Ceremony. 

I am always available to answer your queries during our consultation right up to the Wedding Day itself. You will have a copy of the Wedding Vows to keep as a memento of your very special day and you can be assured that I will conduct myself in a professional and sincere manner. 

I will provide at your request, a Free Rehearsal at either your home or a designated place (within a reasonable distance from my home/office) at a mutually agreeable time before your Wedding Day.

Under special circumstances, one person can be sixteen, but that person will require written consent from their parent or legal guardian and a special dispensation from a Judge of the Court or Magistrate.
There are other requirements and circumstances and consultation with your Celebrant will be necessary to gain further information. Alternatively, persons under these circumstances may contact the Attorney-General’s Department.

Do we require counselling?

In some cases, Yes.

You are making a commitment for the rest of your lives to each other. Pre-Marriage Guidance and Counselling Services are always highly recommended.
