OVERVIEW
Your ceremony is the start of a whole new and wonderful life together. Let's make it the most Memorable moment of the day!
Let us both celebrate your wedding in the beautiful surrounds of Cairns, Port Douglas or the Atherton Tablelands. It is SO important that we ‘connect’, so do please read my Website.
· I will listen to you in regards to your aspirations, and your needs.
· If you are Local or from Interstate of Overseas - I’ll help you with all the Legalities which can be scanned to me, so Distance is not a problem at all.
· I will be there for Support the whole way through, and even after.
· Your personal Input is vital to the whole ceremony - I will be asking you to write me a short Love Story - ABOUT US
· I encourage your own ideas – fun, crazy, or very traditional - write your ideas down and we'll work on them.
Along the way, I will get to know more about you personally, so that on the day, you won't feel as though I am an impartial 'stranger' ! I will be enjoying your ceremony as much as you and your guests, and YES, they are so important to you, so much so that I do encourage you to include them, perhaps by inviting one or two to do a Reading.
My role as your celebrant is to help guide you all the way. I do offer you creative and simple ideas to celebrate and remember your ceremony for always. We can (and I love to) include your children if they are already a part of your lives. It will be an engaging ceremony full of love, laughter, good humour and happy tears!
YES! You can change my suggestions or even be inspired to write your own, particularly the Vows, which I suggest you read to one another, rather than repeating them after me. You don't want me in that precious moment. You need to be focused on each other. If you make a mistake, who cares!
Your ceremony and the saying of your Vows, are two of the greatest moments of your lives, so every, every moment is important.
If you are Happy, then so am I!
About
In 2001, whilst walking across the Simpson Desert, with a lead of 16 Camels, for 28 days, and in the solitude of 'nothingness', I decided to give up my 'other job' and just concentrate on being the best celebrant I could be. It was one of the greatest decisions of my life. 17 years on, and it is just SO rewarding, to know that as a celebrant, I have contributed to my couple's lives, helping them to achieve a Wedding day that they will always remember.

FAQ
Yes, you certainly are. But, if you don't supply the celebrant with a Birth Certificate, there is a very real chance of incorrect information being scribed onto the official legal Marriage Certficate, because the Passport shows very little personal or family information.
For instance, a Mother's surname at Birth, may have been Patterson (with 2 "t's") but the bride/groom have actually written Paterson (with one 't'). Nothing worse than for that Mum to see the Official marriage certificate at some stage, and have to point out the error. Or Dad was born 'Alfred Michael' but was only ever known as 'Michael', so it was presumed that Michael was his first name. If that did happen, the Birth Certificate would have to be obtained anyway to prove to the BDM (Births, Deaths and Marriages Dept) the reason for the change on the Certificate, and if any Changes are requested after the marriage is registered, this will incur a fee.
So try your best to produce your Birth Certificate in the first place. If this is not possible, you can apply online to the BDM in the State you were born in, and within only about 3 weeks usually, you should receive your new Original Birth Certificate.

Janet, you and Joel were just so organized yourselves and yet SO laid back. Can still see Joel with tears in his eyes as you and your Dad walked towards us through the orchard. Your 'country theme' was just perfect for you two, and your Dad excelled himself in getting all the work done in time. Thanks so much for your lovely words. xx
