OVERVIEW

HEY THERE AND CONGRATULATIONS!! It's time to get our 'creative on' and design a ceremony like no other...

I'm Josh, a Perth-based marriage celebrant and my aim is to make your big day personal, fun and stress-free.

I believe your ceremony should be fun, engaging, unique and should provide a few good laughs for you and your guests.

How? By getting to know you and your story. By learning about those little things you love about each other and the amazing moments you've shared together. Or even, that one little thing your partner does that gets on your nerves (just a little bit).

There is a lot to talk about, but don't stress. I'll walk you through the entire process, explain all the legal stuff, help you with your personal vows and/or music (if you need) and give you some handy ceremony resources along the way.

It would be AWESOME to be a part of your big day, have a good laugh and share your story :-)

About

Originally from the country, I moved to the 'Wild West' in 2012. I'm a bit of an old soul and LOVE music. I am a perfectionist by nature and also study part time. I am lucky to have a loving partner and a crazy 'fur baby' to enjoy life with. All these things have inspired me to become a marriage celebrant and to help people create their next AWESOME memory.

We used Josh DJ and “MC helper” services and could not fault his work. The dance floor was pumping all night and the attention to detail with the suggestions we made with music was perfect for what we asked for. The helper service also took a whole heap of stress of our MC and allowed him to enjoy the night without feeling like he had a job to do.

Josh created a flawless ceremony for us. We had many compliments the whole night that it was the best ceremony our guests had ever attended. It was personalised in every aspect and represented us to a tee. Josh was so lovely to work with and felt like a friend to us.

Even before our wedding day we were recommending Josh to others! He is super friendly, organised and just makes planning the ceremony so easy. Josh is very punctual and always responds in a timely manner. He thinks of everything to make the day run smoothly and honestly crafted the most unique ceremony, it exceeded our expectations. Since the wedding we have had many of our guests compliment how engaging and individualised the ceremony was. As a bride I was so confident in Josh's ability which eased my anxiety about the ceremony, the whole experience was so enjoyable!!

Any alternatives to swapping rings?

Ceremony ideas?

Marry Me Josh

Hi there,

The exhanging of rings is a traditional ceremony element, but there are a lot of alternatives to exhanging rings (which is not a legal element of the cermemony, as required by law.)

Instead, you could exhange a small gift such as a rose or another small item that is unique to your relationship.

It's important to remember the importance behind this cermemony element. It is to highlight the exhange of a small gift or item, that serves as a reminder of the promies and commitment you two have made to one another. Think about something you will reflect on in years to come that will remind you of your unique journey together.

Feel free to let your creative mind run free with this special part of the ceremony :-)

Do you usually have a rehearsal with the couple before the wedding day?

Marry Me Josh

I'd recommend a rehearsal for sure! It's an awesome opportunity to make sure all the equipment is working correctly and also to make sure everyone involved in readings, witnessing etc. feel more comfortable on the big day.

Also, if you hold the rehearsal at the same time and location as the big day there are a few benefits:

You can time how long it will take to get to the ceremony venue
You can get a rough idea of environmental factors (e.g. lighting, wind, flies etc.) may impact your day
You can discuss a contingency plan with your Celebrant (in case of extreme weather events), and
You can have peace of mind that all you will need to do is show up on the day, that little bit less nervous.

Also, there may be some minor last minute tweaks that you can make, such as standing positions, the location of the signing table etc. Things that seemed good in theory, but can be made better through practice.

Lastly, if you do plan to have a rehearsal, be sure to ask your celebrant to touch base with your event/function manager beforehand.
