About

I absolutely love being a Marriage Celebrant! I think that to play a part in a couple’s journey together on a day that they will never forget is such an honour that it never ceases to amaze and humble me. I have been married to my beautiful wife for 12 years, and it was such a great experience with our own Celebrant that inspired me to want to bring that joy to others. I love my dogs, all sports, music, surfing, the great outdoors and travelling. I can’t wait to be your Celebrant!

      FAQ

      For the Full Package, which is the most popular with couples, the average cost of my services is $1000. This represents the substantial amount of time invested in working hard on making your ceremony absolutely unique to you! The Micro Package and Deluxe Package have adjusted prices from there. My focus is making your experienced fully tailored to your needs to ensure that you have the perfect ceremony that will be truly unforgettable!

      Whereas my goal is to make your ceremony absolutely suited to all your desires, I bring my own style to officiating your ceremony. 

      To summarise my style in five words, my ceremonies are; personal, laid-back, engaging, fun and unique!

      My job is to make this process as easy and painless as possible!

      To summarise, the two legal documents that you will complete prior to your wedding are:

      1. A Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) and

      2. A Declaration of No Legal Impediment (DONLI)

      The NOIM must be submitted to your Celebrant no less that one month and one day before your wedding date, and is submitted to me as your Celebrant. You will need a form of ID that provides your date and place of birth, and one form of photo ID. A passport ticks both of these boxes. If you are divorced or widowed, a divorce or death certificate are also required to complete the NOIM.

      The DONLI is submitted as close to your wedding date as possible, and confirms that there is no legal reason why your marriage can't go ahead.

      I support you every step of the way and ensure that your private information is entirely confidential and stored securely.

      Often couples ask me this question for the purposes of planning the timeline of their day.

      Typically a ceremony will last approximately 20 minutes, however this obviously varies depending on added inclusions to your ceremony. Popular inclusions may include readings by special loved ones, meaningful rituals or personal vows. 

      Yes! A part of what I love about being a Celebrant is having the opportunity to travel to and experience amazing venues around New South Wales and beyond. As I do need to cover some costs (especially with fuel prices these days!) I usually apply a small travel fee when travelling: beyond Greater Sydney to the north, beyond Batemans Bay to the south and beyond the Great Dividing Range to the west. 

      The months of September through to February are the busiest times for Celebrants making bookings. Generally, notice of anywhere between 4 - 12 months in advance would be recommended but don't let this put you off! It's worth contacting me to see if your date is free!

      I have a background in teaching in the lower-socioeconomic areas of Western Sydney over the course of almost 20 years, so this should tell you that I am INCREDIBLY flexible! Unexpected situations and changes are the norm, and I am extremely skilled in adapting and adjusting to all scenarios that may occur. Importantly, I am very calm and accommodating so any time that changes or different circumstances arise, they are solved quickly, efficiently and stress-free all round. 

      Absolutely! I am great at connecting with couples and getting to know you quickly, which guides me for giving tips or making suggestions that will make your ceremony unique and tailored specifically to your personalities, values and your special relationship. 

      The short answer is, yes! For what I lack in hair I make up for in personality! It is ingrained in me to go the extra mile to represent the bald community well!

      “Chris was absolutely amazing!! Right from the very beginning he was so easy to talk to, asked us all the questions so he was able to create something magical for our ceremony. He is highly professional and organised but also so friendly and easy to get along with. When picking our celebrant, we knew how important the ceremony was to us and Chris 110% lived up to the expectations we had. Since our special day we have had so many people tell us what a great ceremony it was. If you want a fun, heartfelt and easy going ceremony, Chris is 100% your guy!’ (Ally) ‘Chris was the perfect celebrant for us! He was so easy going and super easy to work with throughout the process, adapted to any changes we had or wanted, made great suggestions that we used, and just made the entire process fun and stress free.

      Ash and Matt, I absolutely loved being your Celebrant and am so appreciative of your review! It was such a great day and your personal vows were out of this world! All the best to you and your family!

      December 2023

      Firstly, we would like to thank Chris for being our wedding celebrant for our recent wedding. We are so grateful for all the time and effort he put into the ceremony. Chris was so approachable and made the process so easy. He was a true professional and even offered to run the ceremony music and provide a signing table and chairs if we didnt have one. Chris has the ability to create a warm and engaging atmosphere. Our ceremony was a beautiful blend of emotions, a heartfelt ceremony filled with both laughter and joyful tears. It showcased Chris's ability to balance the sentimental and joyous elements, creating the perfect picture of what we are as a couple. Our wedding was truly memorable. It was a perfect start to our perfect evening.
