Jane Dawson Celebrancy

As a celebrant, you are responsible for all the legal documents, if this is wrong you the couple have lots of issues later down the track with name changes, visas, passports etc.

I spend time completing and ensuring all the details you request are in your ceremony.

That we fun on time, so your other vendors are getting food out hot, and photos and music are on time.

I send questionnaires to you so I can create a beautiful original "Love Story" for you on the day.

I print your vows and your script to bring on the day.

I ensure I am there on time, 1 hour before, and liaise with all your other vendors so we work together.

I call your photographer to review the cues a few days before the ceremony.

I warm your guests up so we have a relaxed ceremony and they feel included and valued.

I coordinate the whole ceremony so it's fun, professional, and runs on time.

I assist your photographer to get the group & family photos, that's hard without the Mic!

I travel home and upload all your documents to Births, Deaths & Marriages

I include the FEE for your marriage certificate from Births, Deaths & Marriages and pay that on submission of your documents. 

I follow up to check everything was ok and that you received your Marriage Certificate.

And much more time spent on calls and meetings with you to ensure your day runs as you imagine it too.

Depending on where you are in location to the (Mid-North Coast) there may be some small travel fees to cover the cost of fuel and time on the road.  Every ceremony is in a different location.  This will be transparent and discussed in our first conversation.

Yes, I have 2 professional wireless PA systems so there's no interference and they can easily connect so no words are missed and your guests hear everything.

I will be there with you for support,  no you don't need to use the mic.  I do most of the talking, so you can enjoy your "Love Story" and all you have to say are your legal vows.  I've got you!!!

I stay long enough to see you receive all your hugs and kisses, grab a quick pic with you both and help your photographer gather everyone for the photos then I scoot off home and upload all your documents and you enjoy the rest of your day!

Don't worry, I am there for you and I will have the tissues ready, we will just hold off, I will keep the guests occupied while we get you sorted and fix up that makeup and then we continue when you're ready.  It's all good, you most probably haven't done anything like this before its real and raw and beautiful and they are happy tears so were all good with that.  It's beautiful and brings emotion in, your allowed to cry!

Your usual name!  You have to sign the marriage certificate before you are considered legally married and eligible to change your name.  So no need to practice that new signature just yet!
