Andrew's aim is to make your love the focus of the marriage ceremony that you design.
In your interview together, you will discuss the style of ceremony you would like. You may have particular poetry or prose that you would like read and some favourite tunes you'd like played or he can suggest music and readings from his resources. You may also wish to include children or add certain rituals ~ exchanging candles, drinking from a cup, mixing coloured sand or releasing a dove to enrich your ceremony.
Andrew is committed to the Code of Practice for Marriage Celebrants and will apply it to all ceremonies at which he officiates.
This means that he will:
- Provide you with a high standard of service.
- Recognise the importance of your ceremony to you and society at large.
- Comply with the Marriage Act and other laws such as the Privacy Act.
- Provide you with details about family relationship services in your area.
- Provide you with guidance in planning your ceremony.
- Carefully complete and forward all paper work.
- Provide you with an interview and rehearsal prior to your ceremony.
- Arrive 30 mins prior to your ceremony and dress appropriately.
- Ensure that a good sound system is used and that he speaks clearly.
- Seek your written feedback after the ceremony to maintain a high standard.
