FAQ

I am a Melbourne based celebrant, but I am able to travel anywhere you like within Australia to officiate your big day. In fact I frequently travel for destination weddings and have recently officiated weddings in Sydney, Hobart, Canberra and the Gold Coast.

There are no travel costs for any venue within a 20km radius to Melbourne CBD. However, there is an additional travel cost for weddings with a distance of over 20km from Melbourne.

Additional charges apply for interstate weddings also, please kindly get in touch and we can discuss quotes involved.

I absolutely love new ideas and bringing these ideas to life on your wedding day. I have a creative background so discussing and sharing ideas on how to make your moment as special, magical, unique and as "you" as possible is what I strive for! 

I take great pride in how I represent myself and especially how I represent my couple in front of their guests.

I absolutely love my bowties and have a very extensive collection designed to fit in with every theme, whether it be a beach wedding, intimate home wedding, country style or full glamour. 

As I will be in your photos to some degree I make sure my couples have a say in how I dress so it compliments the theme colours of the bridal party. I send bowtie design and colour options to my couple so they can choose what their celebrant will look like on their day. By doing this I blend in and not stand out. This moment should be all about you as a couple and only you.

I have had the great pleasure of marrying several same sex couples.

My first and most memorable same sex wedding was between an 84 year old gentelman and his 78 year old life partner. These beautiful souls have been together for 54 years and finally they got to say "I do". 

I had the incredible honour of officiating their big day and celebrating their story that spanned decades. It was a day I will always cherish for the rest of my life. 

I am a well travelled soul who thrives on new experiences and is lucky enough to enjoy a warm circle of family and friends across the globe.   

I have proudly married beautiful couples from numerous cultural backgrounds such as Chinese, Indian, Italian, French, Indonesian, Norwegian, Turkish and more.

As I have great respect for the cultures that I am conducting the wedding of, I am able to work with the couple to incorporate some sentences and words from their language into the ceremony from welcoming everyone to the wedding to announcing the married couple.

I thoroughly enjoy especially watching family elder's faces light up when they hear their language honoured.

My husband was very nervous in the lead up to our special day. He never wanted a big event and didn't really understand the hype around weddings. Eres met with us on multiple occasions prior to our ceremony and managed to not only calm my husband, but somehow even make him excited. We requested Eres join us in Tasmania for the big day, which Eres ensured was no big deal! At the ceremony Eres had everyone in tears and laughter as he recounted the story of how we met and how our love unfolded. He takes to public address with such ease and prowess. Eres's passion for his judicial role, combined with his warm heart and kind nature saw him continue to add value as he assisted prepare my dad for his "father of the bride" speech! Thank you for ensuring our day ran smoothly and with such flair. We couldn't have wished for anything more wonderful.

After waiting 21 years to be allowed to marry, we were so happy that we chose Eres to officiate at our wedding. Throughout the planning Eres was generous with his time and advice. He was at all times calm, kind and informative. His main focus was on making the celebration our own experience, and tailoring the ceremony to our wishes. All our guests loved his personal and professional style. We had an amazing day with Eres as our celebrant. A big thank you to Eres. Guy & Allan

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! Eres is A M A Z I N G !!! My husband (that's going to take some getting used to!) and I are so incredibly happy with the service provided by Eres. He was kind, fun and so easy to work with. Our ceremony was so perfect and we are ever so grateful. We had so many people comment how fantastic he was after our wedding as well, and we have handed his details out to people on a number of occasions since. Thank you Eres once again! I'm sure we will see you at a bunch more of our family weddings in the future!! xxxxxx
