FAQ

I will be discussing this with you in the time leading up to the day, and on the day will be guiding you gently. I always speak to my Bride the minute she arrives at the venue, just to calm any last minute nerves.

No, you do not. There are a few alternatives to this, which I can talk through with you. For example, as a bit of fun, if you would like, all your guests can “give you away” This is always very sweet. The person who walks you down the aisle can give you away at that time. A few alternatives to this question, which I can discuss with you. Anything and everything is possible!

Music is the magic part of any ceremony.  Yes, I have a quality sound system and microphone for the audio during your ceremony.

I ask my couples to choose four tracks of music and all of these are timed and played by my Mr. Music (aka my Hubby) 

One track for the bride and bridal party to enter.

Two and Three tracks while signing marriage register.

Fourth tracks for when I intro you to your Family and Friends as Mr. & Mrs., Mr. & Mr. and Mrs. & Mrs........  xxxx

If you a track of music which is your "Love Song" try and incorporate it  in with these other choices.

Have fun with your music choices!

When you have accepted my quote I will send you an Invoice.  A booking fee is required within 24 hours which will then lock in your wedding date and secure it for you.  Please note here, that I rarely do two weddings in the one day, so I am all yours for that day. I will not be rushing off to the next wedding, I remain entirely focused on you.

The Invoice will have payment details on it and usually, half deposit then remaining half two weeks before your big day.

Also please note..... If you wish to organise with me a payment plan, that is easy done.  

Please remember, that a Civil Celebrant is a Legally qualified person to officiate for you.  There is a lot of legal paper work to do behind the scenes.  

This is entirely up to you. Your considerations might be - how many guests are invited? 

                                                                                                     am I feeling confident?

                                                                                                     how many brides maids / groomsman/ page boy, and flower girls do we have?

                                                                                                     do we wish to pay a little extra for a rehearsal?

Personally, I aim to have my couples feeling confident and relaxed by the time the week of the wedding comes around.

I ring you a few nights before the day and run through absolutely everything with you. 

Until, I hear you both say, that you are feeling 'good' only then do I feel happy.   I have your back !

AI Summary Review Summary
This is an AI generated summary of this supplier's rating and feedback.
Couples consistently describe a calm, deeply personal ceremony experience, shaped from the first meeting through to the last moment. The standout strengths are clear communication, thorough planning that keeps things smooth, and a warm, inclusive approach that welcomes family, culture, and even surprises. The music and sound setup are integrated with perfect timing, often with Jan and her husband providing a supportive backdrop. Vows, readings, and legal details are handled with care, making the day feel effortless. Most would enthusiastically recommend Jan—and while preferences vary on rebooking—her thoughtful, professional touch is widely valued.

March 2023

My wife and i want to thank Jan, the best celebrant in town for being our celebrant at our wedding. Her prepared speech, planning (including my secret performance) were so well communicated with us throughout the whole process. She made everything easier and smoother. She is a smooth criminal as MJ would say. Her husband Kenny also came out to play the background music for us during the ceremony, signing and dinner which made the whole evening vibe just how we wanted! we did invite them to out dinner as we thought tat the least we could do to have both Jan and Kenny be a part of the wedding, not as a job, but as an event/ Cant say we'll choose her again as we hope (!?) but we do recommend Jan and Kenny for anyone who is ready to get married and be blessed by them.

Kenny and Aisha - you are legends ! Thank you for sharing your wedding day with me and thank you so much for your 'wicked' review. You have your life ahead of you as a gorgeous young married couple. Jan xxxxxx

March 2023

Jan was amazing! We didn't have a wedding planner so we were doing everything ourselves and Jan went above and beyond her role and helped us with everything!! She was my rock and helped keep me sane on the day and in the lead-up to! She even gave us a laminated copy of our vows and a USB with her speech and everything on it! She was so sweet and cute! can not thank her enough!

Thank you Aisha and Kenny. I 'fell in Love' with the pair of you from the beginning. Wonderful humour, intelligent and loving couple. You have the world at your feet. Jan XXXX

November 2022

Jan was a wonderful choice of celebrant for us. Damien and I had told her our plan for a surprise wedding for the day after our 11th anniversary, and Jan was incredibly supportive. She took the time to get to know us both and made sure to include the details of our history in our marriage ceremony. Jan and her husband were both very professional. Thank you so much for everything Jan, we loved having you there on the night with us!

Jan & Ken (Mr audio DJ ) made the day perfect with their attention to detail and perfect service. A gentle hand and word in what can be a very stressful time. Jan was always calm and created the perfect ceremony-- the highest of recommendations

Can you sign NOIM form on the wedding day?

My friend got married recently but she felt like she was pressured by the groom's family as everything happened in just a day. The celebrant filled the NOIM form, did the vows and gave the couple a marriage certificate, all on the same day. Is it even legal? Don't you need atleast a month gap between the NOIM lodgement and wedding day? Marriage has not been registered yet so she wants to cancel her wedding. Is there any way?

Marriage Celebrant Above and Beyond

Hello Bride, this is a serious issue and yes your friend can approach the BDM in her capital city, as 'real consent' seems to be a legal breach here. 

 In Australia, the Notice of Intention to Marry must be signed and witnessed by the Celebrant no less than one month before the wedding date. 

Example: Wedding date 23/03/2025 then Notice of Intent must be completed and signed by 23/02/2025. 

Thank you for this question as I feel sure sometimes it takes a bit to get your head around. 

Best of Luck   Jan 

Can I have a friend as my celebrant

What are the logistics of having a friend be your celebrant, whilst getting an official celebrant to organise the legal side of things? We want to do the legals on the day so we don't have to get officially married before/after our wedding day. Is this a service that many celebrants offer? Ideally also with guidance for the friend who has never done this before

Marriage Celebrant Above and Beyond

Dear Jessica,

Couple of points here Jessica.  Yes, your friend can act as celebrant on the day. However, she would not be referred to as your celebrant. Your friend would be presenting her address to you and your guests as your 'friend' .  The legals then can be done by a legal and registered Marriage Celebrant on the day or any day prior. This is easily done and personally, I have done it a number of times. 

The alternative to all this is if your friend has the time to study for her Civil Celebrant certificate then she is able to be your celebrant on all fronts.

 Have fun!    Jan

Wedding vows for guys

Are there any nice wedding vows for guys? I struggle with putting words together for this sort of thing, would like some thought starters please.

Marriage Celebrant Above and Beyond

Hi Bride,  I assume you are asking on behalf of your fiance'.  Once your celebrant has met you both and had a good chat, they have more of a handle on your personalites.  (what I Do) is send four suggestions for your personal vow so it will get you thinking and how to pop your own thoughts and feelings into words. 

Sometimes bride or / groom  will find one of my vow's hit's the spot for them, so they go with it.  Whatever, it is a fun time in your lives, try not to get too stressed about it. Ask for help if you need it.  Jan  xx
