FAQ

I do have my own PA system.  Also provide a hand held Mike. The PA system has the options of an inbuilt CD player, a USB plug in for the option of playing your own choice of music. I also provide an aux cord if music is to be played through your phone. 

The Notice of Intended Marriage form must be lodged with the Celebrant a minimum of 1 month in advance of the wedding date and a maximum of 18 months ahead of the wedding date.  I am required by law to sight original copies of Birth Certificates, Passports and Drivers Licences. 

I write a personalised ceremony for each couple and lodge all legal paperwork with Births Deaths and Marriages for registration of the marriage.

Rosemary was amazing celebrant. In fact, I was surprised with her service. I heard some of my friends, they all said their celebrants were quite simple and just like doing a job. But with her service, I didn’t feel it in that way, she did it with her passion and heart as like we are her kids. We were so happy and lucky to have her as our marriage celebrant. It was very pleasant memory. Highly recommended for whoever will need in the future.

Rosemary will be marrying my partner & I o the 6.2.21. After we originally had to postpone our first wedding date 8.9.20, Rosemary very quickly accomodated our needs with no fuss and nothing but absolute support for my husband and I. Rosemary takes her work very seriously and works so hard to achieve a personal relationship with you, it almost feels as if now it will be my mum marrying us on our wedding day as opposed to just another celebrant. If you want to remember that day you married your best friend in a beautiful soulful, supported environment please hire Rosemary. There is no better person we could think to marry us.

Rosemary is a lovely, caring and professional wedding celebrant. She is easy to work with, always listen to her customer and being respsctful. There were moments that me and my wife were really tense during the process, she would make some appropriate jokes to manage with the circumstances and provide us with guidance to lead us through in the ceremony. Highly recommend for Rosemary's service and we are really glad that we have chosen her as our celebrant.

We cannot thank Rosemary enough for everything she did for us throughout our wedding journey. From the very beginning, she treated us like her own children and genuinely cared about making our day special. Rosemary was always available to answer our questions, no matter how big or small, and guided us through every step with patience, kindness, and professionalism. She was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and so easy to work with, which made the entire process stress-free.Her warmth and dedication went far beyond what we expected from a celebrant. We truly felt supported and cared for, and it was clear that she was just as invested in our special day as we were.We are so grateful to have had Rosemary as our celebrant and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is caring, approachable, organised, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Thank you, Rosemary, for making our wedding day so memorable.

We feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have had Rosemary from Ceremonies with Heart officiate our wedding. She came highly recommended by a close family friend, and she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, Rosemary was professional, thorough, and genuinely caring. She guided us through every step of the process, explained all the legal requirements, lodged our Notice of Intended Marriage, completed the paperwork, and offered valuable suggestions that helped make our ceremony truly special. On the day, she delivered a beautiful ceremony that was warm, heartfelt, personal, and filled with just the right amount of humour. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting her professionalism, warmth, and the way she made everyone feel included. What sets Rosemary apart is how much she genuinely cares about her couples. She worked with us from start to finish, always making us feel supported and at ease. By the end of the journey, she felt more like a friend than just our celebrant. If you’re looking for a celebrant who is professional, compassionate, flexible, and truly invested in making your day unforgettable, we cannot recommend Rosemary highly enough. Thank you for creating a ceremony that was even more beautiful than we could have imagined ❤️❤️❤️

Can we do funny vows

Ceremonies With Heart - Rosemary Hackman

Do celebrants have a backup celebrant in case of emergencies?

Hello. I was wondering what happens if our celebrant is sick or something happens and they can't come to our wedding on the day? Do they usually have a backup celebrant in mind for this sort of thing? And how does it work with the legal side, would our marriage still be legal if another celebrant performed the ceremony? Thank you!

Ceremonies With Heart - Rosemary Hackman

Most Celebrants  do have a back up or can call upon a Celebrant Colleague to help out in an emergency situation where the Celebrant is unable to carry out their duties on the wedding day. 

Is there anyway possible to get married without witnesses

Can you be married without witnesses in the same room. As I have anxiety issues and I don't do very well around other people.

Ceremonies With Heart - Rosemary Hackman

NO. Witnesses are an integral  part of the Ceremony. It has been required by the Australian Marriage Act 1961.
