FAQ

Of course! And you need a little help, getting them right, just ask. That's what you have me for!

No... You should see all my options! I have a large selection of all different types and I am sure there will be something that suits your personality and you can even mix and match different ones if you prefer.

I always ask that you budget for about 30 minutes, from the time we first see brides on her way down the aisle, until the time when the bride and groom are making their exit down the aisle. Most ceremonies will fit perfectly into that time frame.

I always make every effort to co-ordinate as best I can to your bridal colours and styles, so tell me what colours your bridesmaids are wearing, what flowers you will carry, and the theme of your wedding, so I can fit in as best I can.

No. Think of your guests. Treat them with respect. Think of your guests. Treat them with respect. Think of your groom, he's waiting for you. Think of your schedule for the day. You'll probably run out of time for your photos, if you are late. If you are worried about guests arriving late, invite them 15 minutes, before you plan to arrive.

You can bring a CD with music for your ceremony and play it through my PA system. Most of the time at no extra charge I will bring someone to work the music and sound for you but if this option isn't available I will need you to organise someone to do it. How do you do that? Playlists! You will need a song to come down the aisle. Choose something you love - it doesn't have to be traditional. Put it into a playlist called AISLE SONG. You'll need 2 songs to the signing. Put the one you like most first, then the other one, after that. Call that playlist SIGNING SONGS.

Pick something you love - your favourite song is always a good choice. Something that will make you and your partner feel special and that makes you smile. That's your best choice.

Yes! Always. I will have a printed copy for all readings in case the readers forget.

Yes! You really do. You never know... and it is worth spending a little extra, or making arrangements with your reception venue, for just in case. However you need to let me know what it is. If it's at a different venue, or different time of day, we need to talk about that. For example, if your good weather ceremony is at 2.30pm, but your wet-day ceremony is at 5.30pm in a different location and time slot. You are asking me to say no to other lovely couples that want a fabulous ceremony too - not to mention a loss of income.

Australian summers are very hot and there is nothing worse than every one feeling uncomfortable. If there is a shady tree option, please take it. And water for everyone please. It costs very little to supply bottles of water.

You don't have to have a formal, traditional ceremony, at all. You can be light and friendly and casual, or funny, or elegant and simple - or anything you like. No need to pretend you are anything that your aren't... I pride myself on personal romantic and fun ceremonies.

Aaah! That one. Well, if you want one, or if it will make you feel more comfortable, of course we can do one. Although there will be a small extra charge for time and travel for that. But it's not possible, or your don't have time, don't worry, I will be there in plenty of time to sort everything - and everyone - out, before the ceremony. I make sure everything runs professionally.

Yes. I can, but if you are having decorators do set-ups, get them to provide it as part of a package. Then I don't have to lug everything around and get sore feet :). If you need mine, I need you to get a helper, to carry it for me, to and from the ceremony.

No worries. More than half of my gorgeous couples are just like you. I have lots of lovely ideas to make your parents, guests and grandparents feel more welcome. I can phonetically learn some words for you as you give it as long as you coach me a little.

Excellent! I love a reunion. Tell me who it was and I bet I remember every detail..

Big or small, it's your wedding day, so let's make it as beautiful as we possibly can. Some of the most wonderful weddings I have been a part of have been 6 people or less.

Talk to me. If you can be flexible with time or date, I can help. I would rather you talk to me about it and let me help you, than let you end up not getting what you want.

Yes! I do. I do lots and lots of weddings. I see lots of great people that are excellent and offer value for money because it really bugs me when some suppliers over charge! Click here to see my recommended list.

Yes. Most of my work is on weekends, so there are days when I do two but never less that two hours apart. Never if it;s too far, from one to the other. Never if there is any likelihood of one clashing with the other.

Carla was an exceptional celebrant who truly made our wedding ceremony unforgettable. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were evident from our first meeting, and she took the time to understand our love story and what we wanted for our special day. Carla's ability to create a personalized and heartfelt ceremony was truly remarkable. She guided us through the process with ease, offering valuable suggestions while also being open to our ideas and preferences. Her calming presence and genuine passion for her work created a beautiful atmosphere, allowing us to relax and truly savor the moment. We received numerous compliments from our guests about Carla's wonderful ceremony, praising her eloquence, sincerity, and the way she captured our love story so perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant to officiate our wedding, and we are incredibly grateful for the special touch she added to our day. If you're looking for a celebrant who is professional, compassionate, and dedicated to creating a meaningful and personalized ceremony, we highly recommend Carla. She is truly exceptional at what she does, and we feel fortunate to have had her be a part of our wedding day.

Came across Carla on Easy weddings and it was very clear from the start as to why she had so many 5 star reviews. From the beginning Carla was so easy to deal with and made the formalities of the day a breeze. She is the perfect balance of friendly and funny and made the ceremony personal for us. We couldn’t recommended her more!

Carla was simply amazing! She is much more than your celebrant. She also is an extraordinary MC. Without her, we could not imagine how our wedding is going to flow. She created such a lovely, happy atmosphere for our wedding ceremony and reception. She also worked with the photographer, the venue on keep things moving as planned. She also reacted to many of our spontaneous requests on the day. We are really really grateful for having her as part of our wedding. She made it perfect! Thanks Carla.

Couldn’t recommend Carla enough. She was super personable, whilst still being professional. She was so easy to communicate with and made the process super seamless. She’s lovely and vibrant and everyone loved our ceremony and thought it had just the right mix of love, fun but also seriousness given the occasion. She was also a great MC, kept the night running smoothly and everyone had such a good laugh. We had the most amazing night and was so grateful to have Carla as part of our day.

Carla was fantastic as our celebrant. She organised the NOIM with no hassle well in advance, helped provide examples of vows and allowed us to review the ceremony with plenty of time to make any desired adjustments. She also checked in on what she should wear to not match too much to the bridesmaids. On the day, she nailed it. Sounded confident, didn’t make any faux pas and conducted the ceremony as if she had practiced (which is better than a lot of celebrants). Carla even pushed through when she rolled her ankle before the ceremony. Thank you Carla for marrying us! We hope we don’t need you again, but if we did, we would ask you again :)

How do I convince my fiancé to elope?

My finance has a huge family so our wedding is going to be too expensive. I only have a small family so my guests will be out numbered. I think weddings are more about pleasing others and the meaning gets lost. I want it to be a special moment for just him and I, without the expensive price tag. I want to elope but he wants the huge traditional wedding. What do we do?

Carla Davern The Celebrant & MC

Hi Daniella

It is really difficult when you have different ideas of what is too happen. There are two ways of perhaps it working. What if you compromised with a small ceremony for just really close family and have a big party at home after or next day ? Or you could do a surprise wedding at an engagement party that way you don't have to be so formal and just have a cocktail event ? Its all fun.

I hoped I have helped

Kind regards

Carla Davern
