About
I'm known for relaxed, fun filled, memorable ceremonies that stay in the heart forever. I've been a Celebrant for over 10 years now and have never, ever regretted it. What started out as a sideline has now become my career. It's all I do. It's not a sideline anymore. It's also not my 'job'. It's.. what.. I.. do. So, if you want a ceremony filled with love, and a day filled with more love, amazing memories, 'happy' tears and lots of belly laughs, please, get in touch.

Hi Felicity. Thank you for your kind words. So sorry it's taken so long to reply but my online presence doesn't get anywhere near enough attention, I just get so caught up with my couples and their ceremonies, as you know. To be honest, how i operate is easy when you love what you do.

Get Expert AdviceWhen I get married can I change my given name at the same time as I change my surname
My given name is currently Rebecca but I have only ever been called Bec, I am wondering when I get married can my celebrant register my name with births deaths and marriages as Bec (Husbands Surname) or do I need to apply to change my given name before the ceremony? Thank you.
Tim Kelly - Marriage Celebrant + MC
Hello Bec.
Your Celebrant can change neither your given name nor your surname, I'm afraid. We have to use the legal names recorded on your identity documents.
To change your given name would require you to do so legally, via deed poll. The Celebrant then submits the paperwork for the legal name change when they submit the paperwork to the BDM, thereby verifying the veracity of the name change.
You can only change your surname once you have received your Official Certificate of Marriage, which gives you the authority to take your husbands surname.. or vice versa ??.
I hope this helps, Bec.
Help! We forgot to file our NOIM
Will our wedding date be off now officially and we'll have to have it dated after our actual wedding which is in two weeks?
Tim Kelly - Marriage Celebrant + MC
In this situation I would suggest lodging your NOIM with your Celebrant (who should have been on top of this, by the way) and conducting a commitment ceremony on the date of your wedding. You then meet with your Celebrant one month from the date the NOIM was lodged and you just do the legal parts.

Hi Nick. Hi Kat. Sorry that it's taken so long to respond to this review, I'm terrible when it comes to my online profile. Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your special day AND evening. It honestly felt like I was there to enjoy myself and not to work.
