Hitched by Robbie Holt

There are some circumstances where you can apply for shortening of time, however a celebrant is not able to do this for you, The couple must have a reason that complies with Section 42 (5) of the Marriage Act 1961 and includes reasons like: Employment or travel related commitments

      Wedding or celebration arrangements

      Medical reasons

      Legal proceedings

      Error in giving the NOTICE – meaning error by the celebrant.  

There are then ways to apply and if needed more information can be given.

The possibilities are endless, Parks, Gardens, your own backyard, skydiving (eek) or overlooking the beach.  Whatever you decide remember some public places require permission or a council permit, so always check before sending out invitations

Are you prepared to travel for our wedding?

Absolutely, in fact I am heading up to Cairns in June 2019 for a wedding, of course the couple need to factor in the cost of travel, whether that be a cost for driving if it is over a certain distance, or flying me to the destination and to cover the cost of accommodation if needed.

As much as possible, it is important to me that your ceremony is exactly that, YOUR’s that means I work with you every step of the way, I will write you a 1st draft for you to take away and see what works or doesn’t and we can re-hash and re-jig as much as possible until it is exactly what you are after.

I can guide you through the process and am available for as many meetings as you need until we have a set idea in mind.  I can help you with the music and even talk you through writing your own vows – it may take a while, but we will get there.

Absolutely – I highly recommend a rehearsal, usually the night before the wedding or sometime during the week, this will not only calm the nerves, but gives us a chance to go over any last minute requests, and to fill in the final piece of legal paperwork.

I like to arrive at least 1hr prior to the ceremony, if not earlier, this way I can make sure the venue is set up the way you want it and I will be there to greet you all when you arrive.

Yes it will.
