A Very Special Day was born because I believe that this day should be a day to remember.
My name is John Lawrence, I am an authorised Civil Celebrant and my aim is to ensure that your day is a day for you to remember with fondness and for you to be happy that I was able to assist you in achieving this.
I have assisted many bridal parties after the ceremony with the Master Of Ceremonies role and would be honoured to be there for you this too.
A Very Special Day was born because I believe that this day should be a day to remember, a day to look back on and recall with love and fondness the evens that happened on this, your Very Special Day.
It is a day of choice, a day of love and a day of having family and friends come together and share in this and hereby witnessing you marrying your best friend in life.
The Venue, the Dress, the Cake and even the guests can and are great but the person that you are giving your heart and soul to is the only thing that matters on this, your very special day.
My aim is for you both to concentrate on one another. Allow your bridal party to tend to your needs and allow me to tend to do the rest.
I give you both my word that I will ensure that your day shall be a day of joy, a day of celebration and a day to remember. It shall be a day to call your own.
When the law changed to allow same gender couples to marry, I was happy to see this also. We don’t choose who we fall in love with, so now that I am able to join two best friends in life, irrelevant of gender, I am happy to be a part of this, to be a part of your joy.
I know that I charge less than most other celebrants and I am happy with this, however this by no means reflects that what I am offering is in any way less professional. I am proud of what I do and how I treat my couples.
I am available 7 days a week and will travel to any location that you desire.
There is one thing that I tell all of my couples and that is that they need to be selfish. Let me explain. This is the biggest and hopefully the happiest day of your life, so in saying this you need to discuss all of your wishes, your needs with each other. Then when done, tell others, tell your family what you want and how they can best help you attain this.
What I have seen so many times is that the Bridal Party, Brides Mother, Grooms Mother, Family and friends all have their own ideas and can sometimes be detrimental to your wishes. This is your day, so you both need to make the decisions, then allow your family and friends, plus me make your dreams come true
About
My name is John Lawrence, a 59 year old married man. I have travelled extensively, seeing many things that not many see. I decided to join people in marriage as this is the pinnacle of happiness & I enjoy being a part of this. My wife & I own & operate a Funeral Company & have been asked many times to marry a family member due to the way in which I conduct my services. I enjoy speaking, hence I have officiated as MC at many functions, another part of the wedding that I thoroughly enjoy.
