Barbara's service is second to None! We can't thank her enough for what she's done for our ceremony, it is absolutely unbelievable the level of service we received from the beginning to the very end and also the follow-ups of all the marriage documents after the ceremony. She's the most thoughtful person with eyes on all the details which has made a big difference in the final outcome, guided us all the way throughout the whole process, she's done lots of extra work to make sure everything is presented professionally, the ceremony she delivered has taken our wedding to a whole new level! Everyone was so impressed with her. Being such a gorgeous lady, her presence and great manner added heaps of shine to the ceremony! Thank you so much Barbara for creating us the most beautiful & memorable ceremony, we has been truly blessed having you as our celebrant!

Barbara created a bespoke, beautiful and fun ceremony - we're so happy to have her conduct our ceremony. Barbara was professional, easy-going and thoughtful when creating our ceremony. It's lovely to have someone so attentive in the lead up to our big day. We're eternally grateful to have found her.

Barbara helped make our wedding day the most incredible day of our lives. She was so personable and entertaining which made it enjoyable for us, and our family and friends. She put an amazing amount of effort in and we loved planning it too!

pros and cons of outdoor ceremonies vs indoor? do indoor have to be religious?

Barbara Colless

Pros: Anywhere outdoors is very Australian; lovely ambience; can be as informal or formal as you like; great photo opportunities;

Cons: A rainy day; too hot; too windy; too cold; distance people have to walk to the ceremony site; some guests may need seats; a beach wedding may be uncomfortable for some guests; the tide is out (or in too far) for a beach wedding.

Dealing with the Cons

*Always have a Plan B venue that is undercover; liaise with your Celebrant about when to change to Plan B 

*Check weather reports; if it's a beach wedding, check tide times well in advance 

*Consider providing o few chairs for guests (elderly or  health problems)

*Be prepared to be flexible with the area you have chosen - a spot 20 metres away might be more sheltered than on the edge of a cliff

*Ask your Celebrant about whether  1. they have a sound system 2. the sound system will provide good sound coverage for all guests 

*Provide a few chairs (if needed)
