FAQ
Good question, because couples ask me that all the time. That’s why I share my free Step-by-Step Ceremony Guide: so you get the full picture of what needs to happen, when, and who needs to do it. It’s all about feeling confident and comfortable so you can get on with enjoying your day.
As a registered marriage celebrant, I’m authorised to legally marry you and make it all official. But I also take care of all the details of your ceremony and give you support and inspiration, then make it run smoothly on the day. My job is to make your ceremony feel like effortless magic so you can just enjoy it.
I love love, so I travel to work with couples in Forster-Tuncurry, Port Stephens, Newcastle, Central Coast, Sydney, Hunter Valley, Barrington Tops, Port Macquarie and beyond.
Well yes, but you need to plan and organise the ceremony and some legal stuff that needs to happen first. We’ll lodge your Notice of Intended Marriage at least one calendar month before your ceremony, and I need to see your ID to confirm your identities. Oh, and it’s worth mentioning here that legally you need to be over 18 or have a court order allowing you to marry if you’re 16–18 years old.
Absolutely! I have a range of packages to suit.
Why yes, I can. In fact, I’d love to! I offer a Style Your Ceremony package to bring your dreams to life.
Poor Uncle Barry. Yep, he tells a mean joke, but deep down he doesn’t like public speaking. So why not make it easy for him (aka your family and friends), and especially you (so you can relax), by having me MC your reception?
Imagine a reception where everything runs smoothly. With me as your stage manager, I’ll take care of:
?? Introducing the bridal party as you enter
?? Introducing the speaker and keep time (being kind while I make sure your guests don’t fall asleep with too-long speeches)
?? Liaising with the venue for timing of meals and toasts
?? Liaising with your musician or DJ
?? Troubleshooting and fixing anything that comes up
In short, I’m a warm, engaging presenter who makes people laugh, cry and cheer at the right times.
It’s peace of mind for you at your reception. Awesome, right?
We’ll talk about your dress code, colours, theme and style. From there, you have a couple of choices:
1. Leave it to me to choose (I have a whole wardrobe of celebrant attire that does not include stuffy suits or name badges)
2. Choose an outfit from photos of me modelling said professional wardrobe
3. We can discuss your dress code and colours, then I’ll give you some suggestions on the perfect outfit to work in with you
I’ve got you covered, because you’ll get my ‘How to Write Your Vows Step-by-Step’ guide and I’ll be there to help (as well as giving you cards to read your vows from during the ceremony – awesome, right!?).
