Services Offered

Here is an outline of the resources and service that I can offer :- 

 

INITIAL - "NO OBLIGATION" MEETING 

An initial meeting will give you the opportunity to ensure that you would be happy to have me as your celebrant.
At the meeting, I will outline the services that I offer, show you examples of ceremonies and the resources that I have available including a simple Planning Template. 

STYLE OF CEREMONY
The  wedding ceremony we prepare will be individual and special for you.
It can be creative, formal, informal, traditional, modern, romantic, humorous – whatever suits your style.  As I have a religious background, I celebrate lots of weddings for people who are looking for something meaningful. 
FURTHER MEETINGS
If you subsequently decide that you would like me to prepare and celebrate you wedding, we would arrange a meeting where:
  •   I will assist you to lodge your Notice of Intended Marriage
  • We will discuss the resources that we can use to compose a ceremony that suits your style -   the type and content of ceremony, readings, vows, music and other possibilities (Sand Ceremony, Candle Ceremony, Blessings etc)
  • I have   “Planning Your Ceremony” and “Personalising Your Wedding Ceremony” templates that will help bring all your ideas together.
CEREMONY PREPARATION
We will begin to compose a ceremony that suits your purpose.  You can send me your initial suggestions and I will begin to prepare  the first draft of a ceremony.
Most of this can be achieved via email.   However you may contact me at any time with queries or to discuss anything related to your wedding.
We will continue to make additions, suggestions, corrections until we have a final draft.
REHEARSAL
There will be a Rehearsal during the week or two preceding the ceremony when the Government Declaration will be signed and final draft of the Ceremony will be checked.
The Rehearsal can be at the venue, your place or mine – depending on what is convenient for you.  You are invited (but it is not necessary) to have present other members of the wedding party.
THE WEDDING DAY
On the day of the ceremony, I will arrive at least 45 minutes prior to the commencement time to meet any of the readers, family members and ensure that all is in place for a memorable and meaningful ceremony.
AFTER THE CEREMONY
Following the Ceremony all the legal documents will be lodged immediately.
I will forward you a Presentation Copy of the complete Ceremony and ask if you have any comments.
