FAQ
Absolutely, I stay in close contact with your chosen venue to ensure everything is perfect for you on the day. Developing a good relationship with the venue certainly helps when it comes to organising a rehersal a few weeks out from your wedding, as well as offering a smooth seamless ceremony on the day.
Beach weddings are beautiful but there are a few things you need to consider before you set your heart on being married in the sand.
1: What time of day are you hoping to get married? Early morning and late afternoon can change the temperature of the sand, and very cold sand is not really all that nice to stand in for an hour.
2: What time of year are you hoping to get married? A beach wedding on a freezing cold rainy day may not be the look you are after.
3: Will there be enough parking for your guests near the beach?
4: Check the tides!!! The last thing you want is to plan for 50 guests overlooking the water only to find that your chosen time is right at high tide and there is only 1 meter of dry sand available.
5: How old and physically able are your guests? Sand can be difficult for some people to walk in and many beaches here on the coast have an inclined sand dune to navigate before you hit the beach proper. Consider the age and physical ability of all your guests, will they be able to get to the ceremony area? Alternatively, some of the patrolled beaches have sand wheelchairs that you can hire.
Absolutely, I love intimate, couture, registry style wedding ceremonies. Whether in your home, your backyard or in your favourite spot, registry style weddings can be heartfelt and beautiful.
Now, that's a tricky one. I am based on the Central Coast of NSW which encompasses a very large area from Umina through to Summerland Point and out to Wyee. I also often do weddings in the Hunter Valley and Newcastle areas. There is absolutely no additional travel charge if your wedding is being held within these zones.
I have also officiated weddings further afield in Sydney, Picton and even Canberra. Because of the additional kms, petrol, travel time and tolls involved in travelling to locations outside of the Central Coast, Newcastle & Hunter Valley, I do charge a small additional fee to cover my outlay only.
