            Your reception is as important as your ceremony, and by having a Master of Ceremonies at your wedding will ensure the smooth and timely running of the day. 

            Weddings and receptions are exciting celebrations. 

            Preparation is key to a reception that flows effortlessly, and that is why it is always recommended to hire a professional who is experienced, confident, and can be trusted.

            You could have a guest or family member do it - but they will have to remember to hold back on their wine consumption. We've all heard of stories where its gone all wrong!

            Guests, the wedding party and the bride and groom are usually buzzing with good wishes, sentimental tears, and later, food, fun and dancing. With a mix for friends, families, new in-laws, co-workers, and neighbours, things can become quite chaotic. 

            To keep the ceremony moving along, to make sure that everything the bride and groom want to have happen at their reception takes place, the "MC" at a wedding reception is the point person with the microphone in hand to keep the energy and flow to this part of your day.

            With years of experience - I can make it work for you and all you need to do is relax and enjoy the party!

            FAQ

            During the ceremony, there are four things that must happen.

            • I must introduce myself by name as an authorised celebrant,  
            • I must recite the Monitum, 
            • both parties must recite the legal Form of Vows as laid out in the Marriage Act, and
            • the couple, two witnesses and I must sign three marriage certificates.

            Outside that we can create your dream ceremony, as simple or elaborate as you want!

            • Evidence of date and place of birth e.g. original birth certificate or birth extract, passport
            • Photographic evidence of identity e.g. drivers licence, passport, proof of age card
            • Evidence of the end of any previous marriage/s e.g. divorce certificate, death certificate

             

            Ideally these original documents should be sighted at the time of lodging your NOIM with your celebrant.    

            An authorised Marriage Celebrant is appointed by the Federal Government to solemnise marriages according to the Marriage Act 1961. They may solemnise marriages anywhere in Australia including outside the State or Territory in which they reside. This means although I am based in South Australia - I can come to you wherever you are in Australia to officiate your day.

             

            There are two main tasks - the legal side of the wedding ensuring paperwork is completed on time, accurately, solemnising your wedding on the day and then registering the ceremony soon after.

             

            I will also help you to plan, design and deliver a ceremony that reflects the personality, "the feel" and wishes of both of you.

            As soon as you have a date - it is really wise to find that perfect Celebrant who aligns with you and lock them in. 

            My calendar is filling fast and as with Photographers and venues - to get the best person... well me, to help you, guide you and support you through your planning and day - so book straight away! 

            Dates are still available in 2024 and bookings for 2025 are now open.

            You must:

            • Be over 18 years of age
            • Not already be married
            • Not be related
            • Both consenting and willing to enter into  the marriage 
            • A one months’ notice must be given by signing The Notice of Intention to Marry form

            As long as you are no longer legally married and can supply evidence of the ending of that marriage - divorce certificate or death certificate of your previous partner, we can move forward.
