Karen Thomson - Heartfelt Ceremonies

I’m always happy to meet for a chat about your big day at my office but first, the best way to begin is for you to tell me a little about what you have in mind for your wedding via phone or email.  Once you have decided that we are a good match then we can meet person and you can register your Notice of Intended Marriage. 

This can be completed by correspondence however it does require that your signature be witnessed by an accredited person – your Celebrant is best placed to do this as they can explain in person all aspects of the legalities associated with your wedding at the same time.  I also find it's more relaxing for you if we've made this personal connection before the wedding day as it builds trust and familiarity.

I provide a range of wedding ceremony packages, perfectly tailored to your individual vision and requirements.

Bespoke Wedding Package

If you want to ensure that your ceremony is totally unique my services provide lots of flexibility and guidance to ensure that it is a true reflection of your love story. I marry you at the location of your choice, attend a rehearsal and write a ceremony unique to you. Base price $650 plus travel over 25 km.

Chic & Sweet Ceremony Package

This option is particularly popular with couples planning to hold their ceremony overseas or wanting a no fuss option. A legal Australian wedding ceremony can be as short as five minutes. If this is what you desire, I will be happy to help with a simple, professional and legal ceremony at my office, or a location within the city of Fremantle and it’s surrounds.? Prices start from $450.

Need something in-between? let's work together to create an amazing memory!

The requirement under the Marriage Act is that all your guests are able to hear both the ceremony and your vows.  For smaller weddings of up to approximately 30 people no sound equipment is needed, although hiring my sound system remains an option for your music.  For larger congregations I use a professional Mipro sound system so that your guests are able to hear all aspects the ceremony. 

Yes, I am a fully accredited Celebrant registered with Office of the Auditor General.  In addition, I am a member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants (AFCC). This means I am a proven, experienced, technically capable professional practitioner, who complies with all legal business requirements, has appropriate insurance and who is willing to agree to the AFCC mandatory Code of Professional Practice.

Not for me, all Celebrant costs are included and paid before the Ceremony. There is an optional additional marriage certificate that you can purchase from the Office of Births, Deaths & Marriages once your marriage has been registered.
