Alpha Celebrations-Marilyn Batey

Every wedding is unique and couples require help, understanding and guidance throughout the months leading up to their special day. My aim is to provide a professional civil celebrant services to suit your occasion for a reasonable fee, in Central Coast and Hunter/Newcastle Area.

Marriage according to Australian law is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life.

Your  marriage can only be solemnised after completion of the Notice of Intended Marriage. This is done at your initial  interview.  Evidence of date and place of birth of both parties and a declaration has been made that there is no legal impediment to the marriage.  At this time you should select your poems and readings and advise all of your wedding requirements.  You may  phone me for further consultation if necessary.

Up to 18 months notice can be given.  However, at least 1 months notice must be given.

The Monitum or legal part of the ceremony is included in all of my ceremonies.

Vows are an important part of your Ceremony and you may write your own or  use my suggestion.

My Ceremonies  usually take about half an hour. I provide you with a printed  copy of your Ceremony and with your Wedding Certificate which is specially designed for you.

Photographs are an  important part of  your Ceremony and I always consider the background whether indoors or outdoors.
