My name is Lee Crowell and I am the celebrant for Coastal Wedding Services.
You have chosen the RIGHT partner, but there are other things you want to get just RIGHT too.
The RIGHT: Venue.
The RIGHT: Reception.
The RIGHT: Outfit.
The RIGHT: Flowers.
The RIGHT: Guests.
But don’t forget the RIGHT Celebrant.
Choose one that you feel is RIGHT. The RIGHT celebrant is someone who is professional, experienced and willing to provide you with the RIGHT individual ceremony.
Someone who can help take the stress of the ceremony away from your Wedding Day.
I want your ceremony to be the true embodiment of the feelings you wish to share with your family and friends. Coastal Wedding Services can cater for everything from a simple eloping to the intimate gathering to the larger traditional ceremony. As a retired teacher, who has been working as a civil celebrant since 2006, I have good communication skills, a high focus on attention to detail, professional standards and presentation skills.
With over 30 years of teaching and my work as a celebrant, I have a calming and professional manner.
Whether it is catering for children/pets in the bridal party/ceremony to those unexpected last minute changes, I work to keep your stress to a minimum.
Coastal Wedding Services will help make your Wedding Day memorable for ALL the RIGHT reasons.
About
I am the celebrant for Coastal Wedding Services based in South West Rocks N.S.W. I became a celebrant as I love to interact with people. I became a celebrant over 12 years ago and have had the pleasure of marrying over 100 couples. I have 4 daughters and have officiated at each of their weddings. My biggest pleasure is seeing the love in the eyes of the bride and groom as they say their vows. As a retired teacher it's a great thrill making connections with ex-students as I perform their wedding

FAQ
The length of each wedding is completely up to the couple. It will depend on the ceremony you and your celebrant construct for your wedding. As every ceremony we conduct is written in consultation with the bride and groom, every ceremony is different in the length in time it takes to complete. The average ceremony length we conduct is between 30 and 40 minutes.
When initial conduct is made with your celebrant you should check if they have Public Liability insurance. Choose one that does as this will negate the need for you to take out your own insurance.
As most couples tend to be inexperienced public speakers I tend to steer them away from trying to do this. I offer to have their vows printed on light cardboard for them to use as a prompt when saying their vows. This is usually a highly emotive part of the ceremony and many speakers find it difficult to maintain composure and therefore recall what they have intended to say.
Legally your witnesses are only there to witness your signatures on your documentation, and therefore they can be any person over the age of 18 years.
Many couples base their selection on people who are significant to them but are not part of the bridal party, or they are members of their imediate family or close personal friends. e.g. Grandparents, godparents or school friends.
Whomever you choose your celebrant will need the correct spelling of their full names to add to the official paperwork prior to the wedding.

My parents think I am too young for marriage. What can I do?

I am assuming that you are over the age of 18 years, if so then you legally have the right to make your own decision.
This is a very difficult question and no simple answer supplied by someone who does not know you personally could or should be the sole reason you choose to marry or not. Often your parents are only looking after your best interests. Have you asked why they think you are too young to marry?
As a parent I would like to think that I have raised my children in such a way that they are able to make such a life changing desision after weighing up all the information. Things I wouId have asked them to consider would include : length of time you have known your future partner, are you in a financial state to move out pay all the necessary bills as well as start a family, how stable is your relationship, how does his parents feel about the upcoming wedding?
There are other alternatives to a hasty wedding. Have you considered becoming engaged and then see how the relationship develops? In theory you only get one opportunity to plan your dream wedding take your time plan, dream and evolve your relationship. In short marriage is a long term commitment you must both feel ready to commit to each other and no one else.

I am assuming that you are performing a commitment ceremony and not a marriage ceremony. The vows people make to each other should reflect how they feel about their chosen partner. As a Civil Celebrant it is rare to have a couple who wants to stay with the traditional vows that their parents of grandparents may have made in a church setting. My advice is to have them speak from the heart and as you say pledge their commitment to each other and to their relationship.
I hope this has been helpful.
