OVERVIEW

OUTSTANDING! PERFECT ceremonies. But reviews are the best way of finding out about me. Please click my profile to check me out and see how I have helped to create an amazing day for all my couples.

Unique, fun and intimate weddings are my specialty.

 

But what am I like as a person?  And what are you looking for in a celebrant?

 

The most authentic and truthful way of finding out is to read the many reviews about me, right here on Easy Weddings.

 

To help out, here is a snapshot of what couples have said. 

 

  • So easy to talk too, friendly, down to earth, kind and inclusive
  • Has a great sense of humour
  • Incredibly professional, organised and resourceful
  • Nothing was too much trouble, everything was so easy and stress free
  • Incorporated our ideas and ensured everything was just what we wanted
  • The package of information and book of wording choices provided made the process so much easier
  • Our first meeting was very relaxed and obligation free
  • The cost was all inclusive, no hidden extras and VERY REASONABLE
  • Jan is AMAZING at what she does. She certainly created a perfect day for us and a life time of great memories

 

Now, what do you want your ceremony to be like?

 

  • Most couples want a marriage ceremony that is not too long, relaxed, memorable, contains a few laughs and is certainly not boring, but    at the same time being thoughtful and respectful.
  • Couples who are becoming a blended family often wish to recognise their children.
  • Some couples wish to include their precious furry members of the family or include symbolic cultural traditions.
  • And some couples are not sure what they want or where to start.

 

This is where I come in.

 

As a full time celebrant, I’m here to provide unlimited assistance, expert knowledge and many great ideas to guide you through the planning process in creating the magic for your special day and to celebrate the beginning of your new life together.

It’s not only what a celebrant does, it’s how they do it that makes the difference.

 

So what I will provide for you at no extra cost?

 

  •  A folder of information to help understand the process, legalities and plan your ceremony
  • A book containing range of ideas and wording options for each section of the ceremony, including symbolic ceremonies
  • Ideas on how to include children or your precious furry members of the family
  • Complete freedom to choose how and what you wish to include to create a truly unique ceremony
  • Over 1200 music tracks (or you can provide your own)
  • PA system with an independent operator
  • Plus heaps of other extras which can be found on my website. 

 

 

My main objectives:

 

  • To discover what’s important to you as a couple. Understand what makes you tick, what you like and don’t like.
  • Enable you to relax and enjoy the journey, knowing your ceremony is in reliable hands and will run smoothly.

 

My promise:

 

  • To never tell you what you should or shouldn’t include in your ceremony (except for the legal bits of course) – after all, it’s your day so it should be exactly what you want.
  • To create and expertly deliver a unique, sincere, personal ceremony (with some fun and precious moments) that you and your guests will be talking about in years to come.

 

If you are still reading this, you have seen, read or heard something about me that you like and you probably have some questions.

 

So what’s next?  

 

1.    Get in touch a.s.a.p to make sure I’m available on your day.

 

2.    We can then have a chat so you can get your first glimpse of who I am. I can also find out a little more detail and give you a firm costing.

 

3.    We can set up a time to meet in person or on Zoom (no obligation of course!) so you can check me out and feel comfortable that I am the right fit for yourselves and your special day.

If you are reading this then you must be planning a ceremony, so congratulations! I have been a celebrant since 2006 and have had the privilege of performing hundreds of ceremonies . I love meeting people, hearing their stories and helping them to achieve their dreams.

FAQ

I will organise all the legal paper work for you, including sumitting it to the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages. The first document that needs to be completed is the Notice of Intended Marriage. This must be signed, witnessed and in my pocession at least one month before the ceremony can take place.

Yes. I always use my PA system to ensure everyone can hear your ceremony. I also bring an assistant who will play all the music, adjust volumes and turn microphones on and off so that I am free to concentrate on delivering your ceremony without interruption. My microphone is a small discrete lapel mic so I am not holding a big chunky one in front of my face. Your photos will look a lot better!

Yes. I can bring a table with a white linen table cloth as well as two chairs to use for signing all the certificates.

Absolutely!  Children can be included as a Flower Girl/Page Boy, Ring Bearer, or if old enough, they can read a poem or walk the bride down the aisle. They can also take part in symbolic ceremonies such as The Rose Petal Ceremony or be included in a Blended Family Ceremony. Animals are also welcome to be part of the ceremony (just make sure it’s OK with the venue). For example, the rings can be tied to your dogs collar or the bride can ride in on a horse. It’s a great spectacle!

Yes. I provide a 150 page resource book containing wording options for all components of the ceremony. You are free to choose alternatives from this or use it as inspiration to write you own wording. eg:  Your Vows.  I will also write your own personalised ceremony, according to your wishes and ideas. 

I always encourage couples to have a rehearsal as this ensures everyone knows what they have to do and where they have to go. This takes the stress out of the day and ensures your ceremony runs smoothly and professionally. If it is not possible to have a rehearsal at the venue I am happy to meet the bridal party somewhere else to run through the proceedings.

Jan was the most amazing celebrant we could've ever wished for. As soon as we met Jan we felt that she was the right person for our wedding journey. Jan made everything feel so easy and stress free, she was so helpful from the start to finish. We had to make the decision to post pone our wedding due to Covid and if it wasn't for Jan going above and beyond for us then we would of been at a loss. We can't thank Jan enough for her efforts in helping us achieve such a beautifully personalized wedding ceremony. it was our dream come true. Thank you Jan.

The 1st time I spoke with Jan on the phone I knew she was the one. I have never felt so comfortable like I did with Jan. She was absolutely amazing, would always answer phone calls, or call back and always responds to emails. Highly recommend. Thank you Jan

Me and partner couldn't thank Jan enough for helping us with our wedding and making it such an amazing ceremony. She helped us throughout the whole ceremony and making it exactly how we imagined it would be. Thank you!

Our celebrant gave us a brochure called "happily ever before and after"?

They explained why which is fine, but this brochure is really terrible haha, why is this still a thing?!

Jan Mason

The Attorney General's department, which registers and control celebrants insists that all celebrants give this to couples. There is a tick box on the Notice of Intended Marriage document where we have to indicate that it has been provided to the couple. It could have some info that may be helpful to you eg. making a will and changing your name if you wish to do so. Hope this helps. Jan Mason (Registered Celebrant)

Help! I need vows help, I honestly have no idea what to say! I love her. What else should I say?

I asked my friends and they said it'd come to me. It hasn't. I am freaking out!!!

Jan Mason

1. Make a list of all the positive and special qualities about your partner. These can be individual words or phrases. Eg. Jane supports me in all my wild ideas.

2. Using this list of qualities, write them in complete sentences – you might call upon some of the words on your list from number 2 above to help make it sound fluent. If you find this difficult, don’t worry about grammar and sentence structure, your celebrant can help you with this.

3. Read it to yourself. Does it sum up how you feel about your partner ?

Does it explain why you want to be with this person for

the rest of your life ?

Does it show your passion and desire for your partner ?

Is it passionate and meaningful ?

4. Congratulations you have written your vows !

Are there any affordable celebrants out there for a simple ceremony?

Hi, I'm looking for a celebrant to perform a simple (yet still professional) wedding ceremony. I don't want all the usual song and dance or long storytelling - just a simple, sweet and short ceremony. And a streamlined process in the lead up with whatever legalities are required; no coaching, or coffee catch ups as I'm just not that kind of bride. Are there any celebrants out there that do this and are affordable? (Needs to be under $500) Thanks for your suggestions :)

Jan Mason

Hi Alessia, Any celebrant should be willing to create and perform the type of ceremony you desire, regardless of what they personally think. After all, it's your wedding - not theirs. In the no obligation meeting that I provide for couples I like to show them all the options available, as it would be regretful if there was something they would like to include but weren't aware of. After that however, it's up to them to decide what they want and don't want. (apart from the legal requirements of course). As you have stated, you don't want a personal story, so one meeting would be sufficient to organise everything. After that we can communicate via email or text. I live in Taylors Lakes and depending on where the ceremony will take place my fee would definitely be under $500. Regardless of what I charge couples, the ceremony is always delivered in a professional and friendly manner. Please have a look at my profile so you can get a feel for who I am. Good luck in the planning for your day. Regards, Jan.
