Helen Coghlan - Simply Magic Ceremonies

Yes. If you decide to book me for your wedding ceremony, I will provide you with a 'Ceremony Pack'. As well as having an array of information you may need for your wedding, this booklet has an extensive range of vows, readings, ceremonies and ideas for writing you own. I am always willing to assist, too.

Included in the fees are travelling costs anywhere on the Gold Coast between Helensvale and Coolangatta. I'm only too happy to travel to other areas as well (including interstate and overseas) and any extra travelling charges will be agreed upon at the time of the booking.

I always highly recommend and encourage you to have a Plan B, or wet weather plan, in place. Most times the reception venues are willing to accommodate you if you have to hold the ceremony at their venue because of the weather but it's always advisable to check with them first. The guests need to be well informed of a wet weather plan and be given a phone number of someone who will be able to keep them up-to-date of any changes. I would also recommend that guests are advised to take umbrellas in case of rain.

The sooner the better. As soon as you have decided on your wedding date, contact me to see if I'm available.

You are required to complete a 'Notice of Intended Marriage' form at least one month before your wedding but no more than eighteen months beforehand. You can download this form here. You will need your original birth certificates and, if either of you have been previously married, evidence that this has ended by either death or divorce. You will also need some form of photo ID such as a drivers licence or passport.
