I am happy to meet with the wedding party and family prior to the ceremony as often as you like to ensure everyone feels confident on the day.
Utilising either passports or Birth certificates we complete all the relevant legal documents prior to the wedding.
I provide a professionally printed Marriage certificate.
In your home or we can meet casually for a coffee.
Yes it is important to have a memory with everyone's names included to remind you of your special day.
I am happy to bring my portable table and two chairs with tule sashes and a beautiful white table cloth should the venue be unable to provide these items.
I also have a PA system
The ceremony is all about you. Your choices and ideas however I provide an extensive resource booklet full of ideas from which to begin .
No need to worry. We can begin with a basic template and build from there.
Weddings are all about enjoyment. I have ideas for vows and ring exchanges and you can be as creative as you like.
I have officiated at many types of weddings. Each of them was fun in their own way.
Doctor Who- Pirate themes- Gothic and conventional.
I have attended weddings on the beach, yacht clubs, wineries, Martha's cove, Portsea and Sorrento venues. Others have been on clifftops and in parks as well as simple ceremonies in private backyards in rotundas , Botanical gardens and Golf resorts along the Cape Schanck area.
A memorable one was at a ranch with wagons circled the men in braces and hats and the girls in boots.
We only need two witnesses over the age of 18yrs as well as the Bride and Groom.
By law you can only be married in one country.
It is up to you to declare that you are able to be married and you will be signing legal documents to that effect.
Should you be divorced or your spouse deceased I will need to view the appropriate certification.
I always suggest that you consult with your Consulate to ensure that the Australian marriage is accepted in your country of origin.
I provide a relaxed, patient and friendly atmosphere to put you both at ease.
My reviews speak for themselves.
I'll be there for you whenever you need me with a reassuring smile ,professionalism and experience to make the day memorable.

Eloping without witnesses?
My partner and I are thinking of eloping but just with our children and no witnesses. Is this possible?
Debra Pedretti - Your Wedding, Your Way
Great question as this arises with many couples. Unfortunately unless you apply for exceptional permission to marry early you must comply with the guidelines within Australia which state that a Notice of Intention to Marry document must be signed and witnessed one month prior to your scheduled wedding date. You will also require two witnesses over the age of 18 yrs. As your Celebrant I would be only too happy to assist . Debra Pedretti
Does the celebrant have to do the whole "how they met" story?
I feel like that might be awkward for us. We are a super stong and stable couple now, but when we met we still had a lot of growing up to do (we were teenagers, and broke each others hearts.) We had a huge falling out and reconnected later. It was very messy and all of our fam and friends know that. Do we have to go into that when our life is so beautiful NOW, and has been for years now?
Debra Pedretti - Your Wedding, Your Way
It's lovely for the couple and the guests to know a little about you but although your Celebrant might inquire about your lives you have entire control of the content of the Ceremony.Sometimes the inclusion of some lighter moments adds to the enjoyment but if your current happiness is to be the focus you would make that very clear to your Celebrant who will be only too happy to adhere to your wishes.

My many years of experience have convinced me that although the intention of most couples is to work toward a successful, long term marriage the focus is often on the excitement of the big day, the event itself and of course the celebration that follows. For this reason I always work with my couples to ensure that it is a wonderful day which includes everyone important in their lives leading to long term love and support in the future. Debra Pedretti
