Affinity - Jill Barnes

It is a privilege to be a Marriage Celebrant and to be part of your special day. It gives me so much joy to help turn your wedding dreams into reality, and I assure you of my full commitment to your wedding day.

Based on your ideas and wishes, I create a sincere and meaningful ceremony reflecting your thoughts and beliefs, sharing your love story, and capturing the essence of your relationship.

All the necessary legal aspects and documentation are taken care of professionally and confidentially. I truly believe the words of Dorothy McRae-McMahon, that "all loving committed relationships add to humankind and are to be celebrated."

I offer you:
• A relaxed interview to discuss your ceremony.
• A personal and unique ceremony reflecting your feelings, beliefs and personalities.
• A high quality P.A. sound system ensuring that all of your guests can enjoy the ceremony. The P.A. system can also be used to play your own music at your ceremony using a CD player, iPod or MP3 player.
• Unlimited communication regarding your ceremony via phone or email.
• Information on and access to many resources for vows, readings, poems (we can discuss many ideas to incorporate simple rituals such as ring-warming, sand pouring, hand fasting etc or cultural symbols into your ceremony).
• A presentation copy of your ceremony as a keepsake.
• I only accept one booking per day so all my attention is focussed on your special day.
• A rehearsal is included (and recommended) to ensure your special day runs smoothly.
