      Ideally as soon as you set your wedding date and decide on your ceremony venue, I would recommend booking me to give you the best chance of availability. I often book wedding ceremonies up to 18 months in advance, but you can also book me much closer to the day if I happen to have availability, but not less than one calendar month before the date as there is a legal requirement to register your intent to get married with your chosen celebrant at least one month before the wedding date.

      If you decide to book my Singing Celebrant option, I can “sing you down the aisle” during your procession, either acapella (unaccompanied vocals only), or with my live acoustic guitarist accompanying me.  I can then also sing during the recessional at the end of the ceremony (after I pronounce you as the newly married couple). 

      My acoustic guitarist can play beautiful instrumentals as your guests arrive and during the signing of the documents, which will add to the atmosphere and create a really unique and memorable ceremony for you and your guests.  If you have other ideas of how you would like to incorporate music in your ceremony, let me know and I would love to personalize this even more for you!

      You of course have the option to book another live musician or DJ if you prefer and just have me officiate your ceremony, the choice is always yours.

      Yes absolutely! I can learn a song to customize your ceremony and make the service more personal to you.  Ideally let me know the song at least a couple of months in advance, and I will confirm that I (and/or my guitarist) can do that particular song for you.

       

      Yes absolutely! I can learn a song to customize your ceremony and make the service more personal to you.  Ideally let me know the song at least a couple of months in advance, and I will confirm that I (and/or my guitarist) can do that particular song for you.

      I will require the deposit of my booking fee (a percentage of the payment) to secure me for your date to my nominated bank account, which will come off the total balance owing.  I can also take credit card payments with Square.

      The balance of payment will be due a month prior to the wedding.   Once your booking fee is paid, your booking is confirmed and I will send you confirmation and next steps after that.

      Upon booking with me (or any celebrant), you and your partner will need to complete a Notice of Intent to Marry form which I can send you, which must be filled in and witnessed between 1 month and 18 months of the wedding date.

      I will then send you my questionnaire to fill in so that I can custom-create and write your personalized bespoke wedding ceremony based on your unique story.

      Then very close to the ceremony (within the week of the wedding), you and your partner will need to sign a Declaration of No Legal Impediment which I will witness and provide to you.

      And finally, you will need to sign the official and commemorative Certificates of Marriage on the wedding day.

      I will then lodge all the paperwork with the Department of Births Deaths and Marriages, and your marriage will soon be legally registered after that.

      Andrea was absolutely fantastic for our big day. She listened to what we needed and wrote a beautiful ceremony that everyone adored. We appreciate how comfortable she made us feel and would recommend her to anyone.

      We honestly couldn’t recommend Andrea more highly! From the very beginning, she was so easy to communicate with and made the whole process feel stress-free. On our wedding day, she was amazing. Her singing during our ceremony was absolutely beautiful and created such a special atmosphere. There wasn’t a dry eye around! Then she switched into DJ mode and absolutely nailed it. The dance floor was full all night, and she somehow knew exactly what songs to play to keep everyone dancing. So many of our guests have commented on how fantastic she was. Andrea is not only incredibly talented, but she’s also such a lovely person. We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our wedding and can’t thank her enough for helping make our day so perfect. Thank you, Andrea!

      Andrea was our MC for our wedding. A must have in our opinion. Andrea was so kind, well spoken, professional and personalised our ceremony. She took the time to ask us a variety of questions and ensure pronunciation of names etc were correct. It was an absolute pleasure to have her as a vendor for the day. Andrea made sure everything ran on time and guests knew what was happening and when (which we think they really valued and appreciated). Andrea's services elevated our event to that next level. Thank you so much 🤍

      Andrea was our celebrant, entertainer, DJ, MC extraordinaire! From the first enquiry meeting, Andrea made us feel so at ease and we knew straight away that we wanted her as our Celebrant. She made us comfortable and really understood us. Then on the actual event, Andrea blew us away with her professional and fun personality, so much so that you would have thought she was one of the guests, the way she fit in with our party. Thank you so much Andrea x

      Andrea was amazing! We dealt with Andrea via email and facetime leading up to the wedding. We chose to have Andrea sing live for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Andrea was able to meet all of our needs by singing our requested song. What an amazing voice she has! We had so many comments from our guests about her voice. Once the reception came around, Andrea was our DJ for the night. Andrea was able to accommodate all of our last minute song choices and nothing was too much of an effort. Andrea was just wonderful! Thank you so much.

      Do celebrants charge more for new year's eve weddings?

      Wondering if there are surcharges for special dates like this.

      The Singing Celebrant

      I think you will find that some celebrants would and some wouldn't.  I actually did one on New Year's Eve last year and didn't charge extra but you will probably find varying opinions on this.
