About

Hi, I'm Bernadette — A Registered Marriage Celebrant, living on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Born in Melbourne as the middle child of 5 girls. My own love story began in high school & rekindled a decade later in England. I’ve called the Sunshine Coast home for 14 years, where we bought our first home and now raise our two beautiful daughters. My husband and I both work in our dream jobs & create a life we adore—one filled with love, adventure, & those little moments that truly matter.

FAQ

If you want to have a legal ceremony you need 1 months notice. You must fill out a notice of intended marriage (NOIM) and it needs to be signed 1 month before the big day with an authorised person (like myself!!!) 

NOIM attached: 

https://www.publications.qld.gov.au/dataset/32aa6b54-1309-4828-9221-80b77939f22d/resource/00a3c5cf-fc4f-4ab0-a559-6802d725362c/download/notice-of-intended-marriage.pdf

You can legalise the ceremony at a later date with two witnesses if you want to have a ceremony earlier than 1 month. 

I have done this several times before, please get in touch if you wanted to chat about your options. 

Sadly no, you need to apply for your legal marriage certificate with Births, Deaths and Mariages. 

This is the Queensland link to BDM- Remmeber you need to apply in your own state.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Bernadette as the celebrant for our wedding. Bernadette was professional, calm and so lovely throughout the whole process. She was so organised and quick with her responses, and really helpful with our vows and explaining what would happen on the day. She made us feel at ease and it felt like we had known her for years. Many of our guests on the wedding day commented on just how lovely Bernadette was and one couple even decided to use her to officiate their upcoming wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant! Highly recommend!

Thank you Mr and MRs Manton for the most beautiful review. And what an honour it was so make an impression on your beautiful engaged friends, such a buzz they booked me at your wedding! Cannot wait to see you both again at their wedding! So special!

Bernadette has been an absolute pleasure to work with! From start to finish she has been prompt, friendly and incredibly helpful. I was so pleased with the ceremony she created - it was the perfect mix of traditional and romantic while capturing our love story and personalities perfectly. She made us feel all the emotions during the ceremony, but helped us remain calm when nerves started! Bernadette's way with words will have all your guests feeling just as emotional, even if someone may only know one of the soon-to-be's. One of my favourite guest comments: "You're ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Although we've only recently met, I felt all the emotions of your entire love story - that is such a credit to your celebrant! Bernadette worked so well with all my vendor's and helped the entire ceremony run seamlessly. I would recommend her a million times over!

Bernadette was our celebrant for our recent wedding at Tiffany’s Maleny. We couldn’t have been happier we chose her. Everything from the first initial contact with her, to the constant contact and guidance throughout the whole process, to her delivering the most beautiful ceremony for us on the day in front of our nearest and dearest. Our wedding day and ceremony was perfect in every way. We can’t thank or recommend Bernadette any higher!

Bernadette has such a great energy and was a great fit for our ceremony. Bernadette was so attentive and very easy to communicate all the way to the big day. She provided tips and tricks and things that only a professional in the wedding world would consider. We were so grateful for her guidance and openness and the ability to make our ceremony perfect and unique just for us. Thanks Bernadette.

dry wedding?

im worried about my friends getting out of control can we have it dry for the ceremony or tell them no pre drinks

Ceremonies by Bernadette

Dry Weddings are actually more common than you might think for couples to choose a dry ceremony or set clear boundaries around alcohol before the formalities. You’re well within your rights to do this, and most guests will respect it when it’s communicated in the right way.

Here are a few options you could consider:

1. Dry Ceremony Only
  • No alcohol is served until after the ceremony.
  • This keeps the mood respectful and ensures guests are fully present.
  • Once the ceremony is finished, drinks can start flowing at cocktail hour or reception.

How to word it politely:

“We kindly ask that you join us alcohol-free for the ceremony so we can all be fully present in the moment. Drinks will be served at the reception to celebrate together!”

2. Completely Dry Wedding
  • No alcohol served at all during the event.
  • This is less common, but if it’s what you want, it’s 100% valid.
  • You could replace alcohol with fun alternatives (mocktails, soda bar, coffee cart).

How to word it:

“Our wedding will be an alcohol-free celebration — we’re excited to enjoy the day with you in a fun and relaxed way.”

3. No Pre-Drinks / BYO Rule
  • Make it clear that guests shouldn’t arrive already drinking.
  • You can ask your MC, venue staff, or even your celebrant (that could be me!) to gently remind people on the day.

How to phrase it on invitations or a website:

“Please note: no BYO drinks. Let’s save the champagne for the reception!”

? Bonus tip: If you’re especially concerned about certain friends, it might help to give them a quiet heads-upbeforehand. Most people will actually appreciate the clarity.

How can I tell my sister her kids aren't invited to our wedding?

Hi there. We don't want to have kids at our wedding, but I also don't want to offend my sister. I adore my nieces but we want a particular vibe at our wedding. Any suggestions?

Ceremonies by Bernadette

I would find some local accommodation ideas and baby sitters and then address the "issue". 

Telling her firstly you wont be having children and then following on with but, I have some great accommodation and baby sitting options so you can still bring them and they can be close by but can also get baby sat so you can let your hair down.  

There are lots of reason you might not want children at your wedding so think of a few that might resonate with your sister to let her down easy. 

I have children and know first hand that even if they are easy going kids, they will still be hanging off you, wanting food, sleep, drinks.. Having a child free wedding allows all parents t let their hair down for the night and make the most of their time away. Highly recommend (from experience).
