Blessings By Kate Bellman

I can marry you anywhere, any time and in any scenario. I am based in Port Douglas, and can travel to Cairns and south, to the Tablelands, and north to Cape Tribulation. I'm also happy to travel interstate - at a cost to be discussed.

As your celebrant, I ensure that all your paperwork to be married is correct, legal and ready to be filed after your ceremony.

During our meetings, we'll chat and I'll get details about you as a couple. I will provide you with copious readings, vows and poems to help you personalise your ceremony.

I can guide you through your ceremony with a rehearsal prior to your big day.

I will be there on your wedding day to guide you through.

I will send off all your forms to register your marriage. 

I also provide you with a PA system on the day, so your guests can hear you exchange your vows and a table and chairs for you to sign your Marriage Certificates. 

All documents you supply me with need to be ORIGINAL documents, of which I will take a copy. 

I need your birth certificates with place of birth and parents names and registration number. 

If you’ve been married before, documents of proof that it ended. 

I can accept passports if they have place of birth. 

If any of your documents are in another language, you will also need to supply a CERTIFIED translated document from a registered translator.

I cannot marry you as you would be committing bigamy. But I can accept your NOIM, your intent to marry, if you are to be divorced within your chosen timeframe.

I must stress, if your divorce is not finalised, I cannot carry out your marriage ceremony.

You can, but you need an extraordinary reason such as;

*Medical/Illness reasons

*Travel/Employment commitments

*Legal reasons

You will be required to gain consent by requesting a "Shortening of Time", which isn't guaranteed to be given.

My first ever wedding was done as a shortening, married the couple in under three weeks of meeting them. Everything went perfectly!
