FAQ
Yes and no. If you choose my Steward package, you can have the person of your choice running your ceremony - I'll just need to step in and deliver all of the legally binding bits.
So I'll still be in touch to take care of preparing and sending off the paperwork, but otherwise, your stand-in "Celebrant for a Day" can organise everything else for you for that extra personal touch!
Yes - for better or for worse. The exact name that appears on your passport or birth certificate needs to be what goes on your marriage forms - and said out loud on your wedding day.
That is, unless, you have officially changed your name in the past with a Change of Name Certificate.
If you have changed your name with a Change of Name Certificate, this is the new name that needs to be used. This includes a last name you took on from a previous marriage.
If you definitely don't want your current legal name to be used on your marriage forms and said aloud on your wedding day, I would highly recommend looking into the process of officially changing your name before your big day.
Nope! Finalising a divorce can be a long and painstaking process, and luckily you don't need to wait until it's finished before preparing to embark on your next marriage adventure. This means we can still meet up, sign the Notice of Intended Marriage, and organise all of the bits and pieces of the ceremony.
The important thing is that it's finalised before your big day. If it hasn't come through by your wedding day, regretfully you won't be able to become officially married to your new partner. We can still have the ceremony, but it will instead be a Commitment Ceremony, devoid of any legally binding bits.
It's fairly straightforward:
Once the ceremony is over, I send the first three types of forms to the Registry of Births, Deaths, and Marriages so they can officially lodge your marriage.
You don't have to, but I'd recommend it! A ceremony rehearsal is the perfect opportunity to finalise the following things:
Holding a rehearsal comes with a $110 fee, so feel free to discuss if this is something you'd benefit from!
If your wedding venue allows for pets, then absolutely!
I would recommend either tasking one of your friends to look after them during the proceedings to make sure they remain well-behaved, or if you want them involved with the cereony (such as by walking down the aisle with the rings attached to their collar), you'll similarly want to be confident that your little friend will carry out the task as perfectly as possible - and have a backup plan if things go a bit awry.
There are special vendors you can book to take care of pets during the ceremony and reception as well.
Shy of having your pets in attendance, you can still involve them by having pictures of them at the ceremony or reception. I know that my fiancé and I plan on having two "doof sticks" featuring our two pugs on the dance floor of our reception!
One of the perks of the All In Package is that your ceremony can be as grand and individual as you'd like it to be! I even have concepts in mind that I'm hoping that eventually couples will ask me to help them carry out, because they all sound like so much fun! Such as:
Everybody's idea of their perfect day is different, so who am I to say no to a fun and deliverable idea!
