      Ideally as soon as you set your wedding date and decide on your ceremony venue, I would recommend booking me to give you the best chance of availability. I often book wedding ceremonies up to 18 months in advance, but you can also book me much closer to the day if I happen to have availability, but not less than one calendar month before the date as there is a legal requirement to register your intent to get married with your chosen celebrant at least one month before the wedding date.

      If you decide to book my Singing Celebrant option, I can “sing you down the aisle” during your procession, either acapella (unaccompanied vocals only), or with my live acoustic guitarist accompanying me.  I can then also sing during the recessional at the end of the ceremony (after I pronounce you as the newly married couple). 

      My acoustic guitarist can play beautiful instrumentals as your guests arrive and during the signing of the documents, which will add to the atmosphere and create a really unique and memorable ceremony for you and your guests.  If you have other ideas of how you would like to incorporate music in your ceremony, let me know and I would love to personalize this even more for you!

      You of course have the option to book another live musician or DJ if you prefer and just have me officiate your ceremony, the choice is always yours.

      Yes absolutely! I can learn a song to customize your ceremony and make the service more personal to you.  Ideally let me know the song at least a couple of months in advance, and I will confirm that I (and/or my guitarist) can do that particular song for you.

      I will require the deposit of my booking fee (a percentage of the payment) to secure me for your date to my nominated bank account, which will come off the total balance owing.  I can also take credit card payments with Square.

      The balance of payment will be due a month prior to the wedding.   Once your booking fee is paid, your booking is confirmed and I will send you confirmation and next steps after that.

      Upon booking with me (or any celebrant), you and your partner will need to complete a Notice of Intent to Marry form which I can send you, which must be filled in and witnessed between 1 month and 18 months of the wedding date.

      I will then send you my questionnaire to fill in so that I can custom-create and write your personalized bespoke wedding ceremony based on your unique story.

      Then very close to the ceremony (within the week of the wedding), you and your partner will need to sign a Declaration of No Legal Impediment which I will witness and provide to you.

      And finally, you will need to sign the official and commemorative Certificates of Marriage on the wedding day.

      I will then lodge all the paperwork with the Department of Births Deaths and Marriages, and your marriage will soon be legally registered after that.

      Words cannot express how grateful we are to have had Andrea as our celebrant, acoustic singer, and DJ for our wedding. From the moment we contacted Andrea, she displayed an unparalleled level of organisation, warmth and professionalism that immediately put us at ease. Throughout the entire planning process, Andrea's communication was exceptional. She promptly answered our questions, provided valuable guidance, and ensured that every detail was taken care of. If you're looking for someone who is not only exceptionally talented but also incredibly organised and amazing to work with, we wholeheartedly recommend Andrea. Thank you, Andrea, for making our wedding day an absolute dream!

      Do celebrants charge more for new year's eve weddings?

      Wondering if there are surcharges for special dates like this.

      The Singing Celebrant

      I think you will find that some celebrants would and some wouldn't.  I actually did one on New Year's Eve last year and didn't charge extra but you will probably find varying opinions on this.
