I create and lead ceremonies for life events, such as weddings, vow renewals, funerals, and naming days. I work closely with you to create personalised, meaningful ceremonies that reflect your personalities, beliefs and stories.

My fees vary depending on the type and complexity of the ceremony, location and other factors. I have listed a range of packages here on the website explaining my pricing structure and what it includes (such as meetings, ceremony script writing, and officiating). Many variables can affect the way I price a ceremony. These listed packages are to be used as a guide only and may not always reflect final costings. Things like travel, particular expenses incurred and additional time required, for example, will be included in the final quote price.

A full quote will be provided, prior to booking being finalised to ensure all costings are clear and transparent.

Once we have met, hit it off and the deposit is paid, together we journey through the following steps -

LEGAL STUFF

I get a start on your documentation. I’ll need to site your ID and sign everything off at least 1 month before your ceremony.

I GET TO WORK

After you complete my Couple’s Questionnaire and your Wedding Details form, I can start writing your epic love story. You will add your vows in here with a little help from me if required.

LET'S TAKE A MOMENT

It’s coming up to the big day and let’s take a moment to run through the ceremony and go through any last-minute details.

WEDDING DAY IS HERE

I’ll be there 1 hour prior to the ceremony to greet your partner and guests. It’s also a great time to liaise with your other vendors to ensure we are all on cue. You say ‘I do’, you get your commemorative certificate, we have a small toast and I leave you to kick on with the rest of the festivities.

IN THE AFTERGLOW

I will send off your legal docs to the Births Deaths and Marriages Registry, ensuring all legal requirements are met.

IT’S OFFICIAL! YOU ARE HITCHED!

My ceremonies are usually non-religious (though may include some religious elements), highly personalised and inclusive, allowing for a wide range of traditions and styles. I can incorporate any elements or rituals you want to create a ceremony that truly reflects who you are.

Absolutely! As a celebrant, I am flexible and will happily incorporate meaningful elements to respect your beliefs and traditions, even if the ceremony itself isn’t religious.

For weddings, ceremonies typically last 30 minutes, but they can be shorter or longer based on the elements included. Funerals and other ceremonies have varied lengths depending on what feels meaningful and right for the occasion.

Including personal vows, readings, or cultural traditions are all beautiful elements that personalise your ceremony. Once I get to know you, I can guide you through some old traditions or newer rituals that may resonate with you.

Some couples prefer to write their own vows, while others might want assistance. While I love to guide you, I can do so as much or as little as you like. I can provide sample vows for inspo to make it easier if you’re feeling stuck.

Yes, as an authorised celebrant, handling the legal paperwork is part of my role. In Australia, the legal requirements for marriage are relatively simple. Before the wedding, couples must complete the Notice of Intended Marriage form at least one month prior (but no more than 18 months beforehand). They must also provide identity documents and, if applicable, evidence of previous marriages.

On the wedding day, both partners and 2 witnesses (who can be anyone over the age of 18), must be sober and capable of understanding the ceremony. During the ceremony, specific legal words must be said, including the celebrant’s identification, the Monitum, and vows from each partner. After the ceremony, the couple, witnesses, and celebrant sign marriage paperwork, with one copy retained by the couple and the rest sent to Births Deaths and Marriages.

Post-wedding, there are no legal obligations regarding name changes or certificate applications, though individuals may choose to pursue these if desired.

Rest assured, I will always have a contingency plan in place, with a network of trusted celebrants who can step in if needed.

GET IN TOUCH

Always best to put a face to a name. Let’s arrange a meeting to see if we click. I love meeting in person, but am equally happy to Facetime/WhatsApp, or have a good ol’ chat over the phone.

WE HIT IT OFF

Awesome! I will prepare a quote and once the booking fee of 50% is paid, your date is secured!
