How much should a wedding celebrant cost?

On average you can expect to pay anything from $800 to $1,800 for a Sydney wedding celebrant conducting a Sydney wedding ceremony. For ceremonies outside of Sydney a travel fee will often be on top of that.

What does a celebrant do at a wedding?

What is the role of a Marriage Celebrant? Put simply, a celebrant is a person who performs and officiates formal ceremonies -such as weddings, vow renewals, baby naming, or even funerals and memorials. By booking a Celebrant for your service, you can have the vows you want, the music you want, the readings you want.

Are celebrant marriages legal?

Is my Celebrant Wedding Ceremony legally binding? No. You will need to register your marriage in a Register Office before or after your celebrant wedding ceremony in order to make your marriage legally binding.

What is the difference between a celebrant and a registrar?

The difference between Registrars and Celebrants in a Nutshell. Registrars have the power to marry you in the eyes of the law. Celebrants will help you to create a personalised bespoke ceremony, taking place wherever you would like. You can include personalised vows, live music and family. 

Do you tip an officiant for a wedding?

Officiant. If your officiant is a member of the clergy, you may not be able to tip him or her directly, but you can make an additional donation to the house of worship. For non-clergy, tip around $50.

 

Sally Hughes Marriage Celebrant Melbourne

414281615

I am a full-time Civil Celebrant, occasional classical singer, former business banker and happily married mother of two little girls.  As a wedding singer for over fifteen years I had the privilege of witnessing hundreds of ceremonies, however it wasn’t until I was nearing the end of maternity leave with my first daughter that it occurred to me to make a career shift to celebrancy.

Observing hundreds of priests and celebrants for over a decade gave me a rare insight into how ceremonies were typically structured and presented. I had always held strong opinions about what I did and didn’t like and how, given the chance, I would write and present ceremonies.  My “Ah-ha! moment” arrived whilst sitting in a chapel pew.  The following week I enrolled to become a celebrant and have never looked back.

I pride myself on delivering highly personalised and engaging ceremonies as I’m a firm believer that ceremonies should never be considered merely the “necessary part of the day”. They should be interactive, interesting, enjoyable and memorable for both you and your guests.

I am friendly, attentive, organised and professional and my considerable experience in performance and public speaking ensures that I will deliver an engaging ceremony which reflects your personalities, values and vision.

I’ll never take for granted how fortunate I am to be invited into people’s lives and entrusted with such an important and very rewarding responsibility.  I get the best seat in the house and I’m so grateful for that!

Please contact me at any time to see if I’m available on your wedding day.  If so, I’d love to meet you for a drink and a chat.

My services include:

• An initial, obligation-free meeting to listen to your ideas and discuss how we can create a bespoke ceremony together. During this meeting we’ll discuss the process of writing your ceremony and the legal requirements for your marriage. You will also receive an information kit. Should you wish to proceed, I would ask that you complete a booking form, sign my service agreement and pay a non-refundable and non-transferrable booking fee to secure my services.
• Access to my resources (poems and verse, sample vows, ritual ideas and music suggestions).
• A second meeting, during which we will discuss the first draft of your ceremony and attend to the lodgement of the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM). I will also need to sight the identification documents relevant to your circumstances. Shortly after the second meeting I will email you the first draft of your ceremony. We can meet again to discuss or correspond as often as you like via Skype, email or telephone. The choice is yours.
• A final meeting at my home office or at the venue (venue permitting) in the days prior to your ceremony.
• A professionally printed commemorative marriage certificate.
• A bound copy of your marriage ceremony script.
• Completion of all legal paperwork and lodgement with the relevant authorities on your behalf.
• A Change of Name Kit (for Australian residents) if either of you wish to change your surname via marriage.
• A professional quality PA system with MP3 player (CD and USB) and smartphone connectivity.
• I will dress appropriately to ensure that I complement the wedding party and reflect your dress code.
• Please note: I cannot provide musical services for a couple whose marriage I will solemnise

Standing before the people you love to share your promises in marriage is a really incredible and powerful experience. It can also feel a little daunting – especially for those who aren’t used to being the centre of attention. This means it is so important to have an experienced, calm and confident celebrant beside you  – helping you to relax and enjoy getting married!

I love my role as a marriage celebrant – guiding you through the whole process of getting married, from all the necessary paperwork, through to creating and sharing your unique ceremony – so that you can celebrate finding the love of your life and share your happiness with those closest to you. It’s a pretty great feeling.

Your wedding day should be one of the happiest days of your life and I am here to take the stress out of planning your ceremony!

​I believe ceremonies set the scene for the celebrations ahead, and it’s my mission to have every guest smiling, laughing and maybe even shedding a tear.

It’s important to have an initial chat to see if I’m the right celebrant for you. It’s obligation free and I’m available for face to face meetings, skype/facetime calls or even just a quick chat over the phone.

I will provide you with online access to my ceremony basics to help you work out the structure of your ceremony. The majority will be custom written by me though.

My ceremonies require both you and your partner to fill out a questionnaire…. separetely! This will allow me to get some more insight into your relationship which will assist me in the writing process. It’s only 8 questions and best to have some fun with it!

You can choose to recieve a draft of your ceremony or just wing it on the day! I am VERY experienced so you can have full trust in me to create something fun, emotive and unique to your relationship!

During the second meeting we will go through the ceremony structure, discuss music requirements, any other inclusions and also begin the legal paperwork.

I arrive at your venue nice and early to set up and after that you will usually find me organising with venue staff, chatting to guests and creating a great atmosphere..

This is not the last you have heard from me! I will register your marriage and lodge all original paperwork with births,deaths and marriages. I will notify you once everything is complete (usually 4-6 weeks afterwards).

I will send you a follow up email with detailed instructions on how to obtain your original legal marriage certificate from the BDM office.

Do you want an amazing ceremony that is warm, dignified, memorable and professionally delivered?  If so, I can definitely help you.

I am a modern and creative Sydney Marriage Celebrant who will ensure the ceremony part of your day runs smoothly

Whether you are looking for a short, simple or more traditional marriage ceremony, I can accommodate your needs.

I will arrive at the venue in a timely fashion well dressed and groomed to fit your wedding style and with many contacts in the wedding industry I can give you recommendations for other professional wedding suppliers

I have many years experience as a fulltime, professional celebrant and have conducted thousands of weddings!  My style of ceremony delivery is natural, warm and inclusive.  One of the great delights of working as a busy celebrant is that I get to meet couples from diverse cultural backgrounds and it is a joy to incorporate various rituals.

December 2017 saw the Marriage Act 1961 change to allow same sex marriages and now they are mainstream.  No discrimination at last!

I can assist you in planning your special day if you need any guidance – I have a wealth of knowledge!

Lighthearted, relaxed and vibrant Marriage Celebrant!

People often ask me why I chose to become a marriage celebrant. The answer is pretty simple! When my husband and I were searching for our perfect celebrant we had real difficulty finding someone who ticked all of our boxes, we wanted someone we could relate to who was relaxed, vibrant, personable and who was able to deliver a ceremony that truly reflected us.

Eventually, we found her and she made the whole process such a simple and enjoyable one.

Now, I am the lucky one who is able to create for my couples what our celebrant did for us and I truly love the whole process!  From our first coffee catch up, to hearing all of the funny little stories that you’ve made throughout your own journey together, to the new journey you’re about to embark on in becoming a married couple.

I love that after finding out all of your beautiful stories I get to use them to create the ceremony of your dreams; Lighthearted, relaxed, light-hearted and personal.

My ceremonies are not filled with soppy words but real words that come straight from the heart, from you both. This is where the magic happens!

With me by your side you can guarantee a stress free, happy and enjoyable process from start to finish. Your ceremony will truly reflect you as a couple and will be one that both you and your guests will never forget!

Marriage in Australia finally means all adults are free to unite in lawful commitment and I wholeheartedly support the legalisation of same sex marriage.

Marriage really is beautiful, it’s how a couple can tell the world & each other that they belong together. But I understand that marriage to others may mean something different. It is my job as your celebrant to be able to put into words and deliver a ceremony that truly reflects you both as individuals and as a couple.

Whether you are seeking something fun, traditional or relaxed I can work with you to create a ceremony that is unique and special for you and your partner. A ceremony that reflects your personalities, beliefs and values.

One thing that is consistent with every wedding I have conducted is my style, I’m relaxed, down to earth, professional and genuine, I absolutely adore my job it is by far one of my greatest passions in life & I always strive to provide the very best for the couples I work with.

My fee’s start at $850 for weddings based in and around Melbourne & Victoria (This fee will cover everything you will need from me on the day and leading up to your day, including travel, PA system if needed, a ceremony that is personal & completely unique to you, any meetings or rehearsals prior and all legal paperwork )  Over the past 8 years I have had the pleasure of marrying almost 250 brides & grooms,  so I also offer my experience and can guide you if you are unsure on what you are wanting.

So why don’t you give me a call or shoot me an email so we can catch up & say hi & see if I am the right celebrant for your day.

 

Sally Cant Civil Celebrant – Wedding Celebrant Melbourne

408691405

A Civil Celebrant and ritual maker, a corporate MC, and a published author – ‘The Heart and Soul of Celebrancy’ and ‘Conversations About Death’. I am used to speaking at large gatherings and events – weddings, funerals, conferences etc – as well as the smaller intimate gatherings. So if you are after someone who is confident in front of a large gathering please don’t hesitate to call me.

I am the the owner of The Celebrants Training College, the owner/director of Sally Cant Consulting – an IT consultant, a founding board member of FIMAC (Funeral Industry Ministerial Advisory Council), prior Vice President of The Natural Death Advocacy Network, a University lecturer, an award winning artist and a mother of three. I conduct myself in any of these areas, personal or professional, with integrity and with a high degree of ethics. And although I adhere to the Code of Practice that has been set down by the Attorney General’s Dept for all celebrants I have always worked within Best Practice guidelines.

I am a President of an Association – ‘Celebrants Training College Alumni’ – and a member of a number of associations and I have the following insurances – Public Liability and Professional Indemnity.

Being invited onto the board of the Groundswell Project is also very exciting.

I have had a successful business career, with the skills learnt during that time helping me to communicate well with people and understand their needs. I am a vocal and highly visible advocate for the Celebrant Industry, a staunch advocate, and passionate about, social justice, the environment and discrimination issues. I am on a number of Boards, Advisory Boards, committees and charity work.

I love creating ceremonies that are warm, personal, relaxed and fun. Ceremonies that celebrate ‘you’. And, I am so thrilled that the laws have finally changed.

Now that the laws have changed, I am planing my own wedding for April 2018……

When I meet with couples I discuss their needs and show them samples of ceremonies that I have created. This gives them an idea of the options available to them so they are fully informed of what can be included in a ceremony. What I’ve come to learn is that one of the major reasons couples decide on a celebrant for their wedding ceremony is so that they have choices. I help couples create ceremonies that are indicative of their relationship, and spend time with them having fun putting together their ceremony. I keep the process relaxed, fun and professional.

By investing in a personalised customised process you will have the best possible marriage ceremony based on your needs and requirements and will be enjoyed by yourselves and every guest.

On average – I spend at least 20 hours on each wedding and my fee is around $1500. If you want a professional service – you usually expect to pay a professional fee.

Of course I am happy to try and work within your budget – so if you are getting married 5 minutes from me – or want to get married at my place – then I could offer you a discount. Other reasons for discounts are weekdays or off-season, or perhaps 5 people in your back yard…. Talk to me…..

Please remember a professional fee represents a professional service. Don’t let price be your only consideration. Over 21 years of experience goes a long way to ensuring your ceremony is fabulous (for all the right reasons).

I am very proud to say that I also have full Accreditation from the ABS – which is quite rare for a Celebrant.

The words used in a ceremony should be special to you and consequently I encourage everyone to have as much personal input as possible. I encourage couples to have an introduction that is centered around their values and beliefs. This can be done with the help of completing a simple questionnaire that I prepare for the couple – but does require a bit of homework from the couple to ensure the ceremony is authentic.

Nothing personalises a wedding ceremony more than an introduction that tells the story of the couple meeting, developing their relationship and deciding to get married. This introduction can relate why the couple love each other, tell their family and friends what they mean to them and state the couple’s vision for their future together. Writing this introduction is a creative, demanding and sometimes time-consuming task. The couple may do it themselves, but often I write it and the couple then make any changes.

I make this process as simple and relaxed as possible. So on the day you can relax and take it all in – knowing you have someone professional and organised to present it on the day. I am happy to handle the music for you if you choose CD’s – I will legally purchase the songs and then burn the songs to CD to ensure they work on my PA. One less job for you to worry about.

Today we see people coming together to marry – be it young singles, to blended families, to the more senior people deciding to marry. Whatever your circumstance I would love the opportunity to help create a ceremony for your very special day. If you have children I would always encourage you to incorporate them into the ceremony. This is a very special time for them also, and how good would it be for them to feel a part of this day.

I have many resources available to help you create your own ceremony and I am more than happy to spend time giving you any assistance required to complete the wording. My fee includes unlimited consultations with you to ensure that you are given the time necessary to fulfill all your needs.

I love ‘Love’ and that’s why I believe I have the best job in the world. Choosing the right Celebrant (or me) for your wedding day (or elopement) will ensure your day is unique, meaningful & memorable. Your ceremony can be as lengthy and detailed as your heart desires or short and punchy, but sweet. The most important thing is I will be telling ‘your story’ with purpose and meaning.

I DISCOVERED YEARS AGO THROUGH PRACTICING GRATITUDE THAT I WANTED TO START CHASING ‘GOOSE-BUMP MOMENTS’ FOR MY OWN FULFILLMENT. I STARTED TAKING MENTAL NOTES OF THESE MOMENTS AS THEY HAPPENED AND WEDDINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN STANDOUT FOR ME. NOTHING GIVES ME JOY LIKE A BEAUTIFULLY WORDED AND DELIVERED CEREMONY.

I WAS SO FORTUNATE THAT THE FIRST WEDDING I OFFICIATED IN 2014 WAS MY SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL, INTIMATE WEDDING HELD IN THEIR BACKYARD, AND FROM THAT INSTANT I KNEW I HAD FOUND A PASSION THAT IS BOTH DEEPLY FULFILLING AND CONSTANTLY REWARDING.

FROM THE MOMENT I AM ASKED BY MY COUPLES TO MARRY THEM, THE MAGIC AND JOY BEGIN. I HAVE SO MUCH FUN GETTING TO KNOW EACH COUPLE, BOTH AS INDIVIDUALS AND TOGETHER. I LOVE THE EXPERIENCE OF GETTING TO KNOW THEM ON A DEEPER LEVEL AND HEARING THE JOURNEY OF HOW THEY MET AND FELL IN LOVE. FROM THERE WE BEGIN TO BUILD THEIR CEREMONY, CAPTURING THIS IN A CREATIVE WAY, WHERE I CAN THEN BE THE MEANS FOR THEM TO SHARE THEIR LOVE STORY AND COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER IN FRONT OF THEIR LOVED ONES ON THEIR SPECIAL DAY. THE COUPLES THAT I HAVE MARRIED, I HAVE COME TO TRULY ADORE AND HAVE RESULTED IN SOME BEAUTIFUL NEW FRIENDSHIPS ALONG THE WAY.

Sam Lavery The Celebrant- Wedding Celebrant Melbourne

411149378

So you got engaged, welcome..

Thanks for dropping by! My name is Sam and I am a Marriage Celebrant and MC based in Melbourne (but I travel far and wide; Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, anywhere!)

I love weddings, when done right it is the most fun someone can have, that’s a fact (I’m pretty sure it is). I have been to heaps of them, both as a spectator and professionally (I even like them so much I got married myself!).

I have a really simple approach to the ceremonies I put together;

1. Modern: We have all sat through an “old school” ceremony that goes for 3 hours, it’s tough work. I specialise in modern, fun and entertaining ceremonies. If you want a Pope Francis style ceremony I am probably not your guy.
2. Funny: Just like life, weddings should have lots of funny moments. I want you and your guests to laugh. I was a stand up comic in Melbourne for several years so I am happy to chuck in a few jokes when appropriate! But don’t worry, the chuckles will be balanced out with the beautiful and sentimental moments of your story as a couple.
3. Memorable: Most of all I don’t want your guests thinking “could I get away with checking the footy scores”. I want your ceremony to be entertaining, I want it to tell the story of you so well that they have no choice but to be as present as Tibetan monks!

Essentially, I am saying I want to put the best-ever ceremony together for you.

So what are the next steps..

Step 1: Lets catch up and grab a drink, coffee or alcohol, I dont judge on time of day consumed for either 🙂 We will have a chat about your ceremony and what you are after! (no obligation, of course) I will run you through the process in detail and make sure it’s as easy as humanly possible for you both!

If you are a couple wishing to create not just a special memory on your wedding day but celebrate your journey together to this point in time, I am the celebrant for you! I will help make your wedding day unique, I will reflect your personalities in your ceremony and help create a memorable wedding day.

I have worked in the wedding industry for over 10 years although not always as a celebrant. Before choosing to become a celebrant, I was a wedding coordinator which gave me a great understanding of all aspects involved in creating a memorable wedding. I believe the ceremony is what sets the feel for the event, it is the beginning of the celebrations and when emotions are most prevalent. The ceremony is the special moment a couple publicly commit to each other for life and this is what I love to be apart of. Choose me as your celebrant and lets kick off your wedding in the most glorious way!

Melbourne Can Do Celebrants

I ‘m a Lesbian with two wonderful and successful adult children from my 20 year heterosexual marriage and two amazing grandchildren.

I am a social worker and am privileged to work with people from many cultures.

I love life, a fun time and my wonderful community of friends and family.

I respect and believe in the importance of ritual and ceremony and I love to help people to create ceremonies which say “yes” to them.

I am organised, positive, energetic and creative.

I love saying yes to adventure, growth and movement and making a positive difference in people’s lives.

I live in the heart of Fitzroy where the street graffiti, cafes and old buildings link our past and present.

Celebrancy allows us to celebrate the loves and leavings in our lives with colour,ritual,food and music.

To me, Celebrancy links our past and present.

Red symbolises love and life, vitality and joy. The colour red also symbolises prosperity, courage and passion.

Together we can create a ceremony that represents the two of you as individuals coming together to celebrate your journey forward as a couple.

Pink symbolises universal love and a love of beauty. Pink is also associated with sexuality. In the gay community pink is a symbol of gay pride.

Commitment ceremonies and renewal of vows ceremonies aren’t legally recognised but allow you to celebrate your ongoing commitment to each other with those important people in your life.

Commitment ceremonies may suit you

If you want to acknowledge your union as a couple but don’t want to legally marry.

Provide a perfect opportunity to reaffirm your commitment to each other.

• Life Celebrations
  Green symbolises nature, fertility, life and balance. Green is the most restful colour and so a perfect colour for Life celebrations.
  Life Celebrations provide an opportunity to reflect on and celebrate the life of that special person one more time.
  I feel honoured to be part of these ceremonies and have spent much of my career working in grief and loss.
• What I can do

Blue is the colour of youth and is the most calming colour and so is a perfect colour to symbolise naming ceremonies.

Naming ceremonies provide an alternative to a religious christening in welcoming a new baby to the circle of family and friends and formally acknowledge the existence of the baby and identify that baby with his/her name.

Orange is a healing and power colour and symbolises endurance and vitality. Orange is a perfect colour for divorce celebrations. In Australia 2.5 in every 1000 marriages end each year and more people are marking the end of this stage of their life journey with a ceremony.

Yellow symbolises the sun, wisdom, joy and happiness. Yellow is a perfect colour to symbolise those special occasions where you may require an experienced M.C to make sure your event is well prepared and conducted with warmth, humour and professionalism. With over 30 years experience as an M.C. I consider this one of the jewels in my crown and look forward to creating a perfect event with you.

 

 

Ceremonies of Love and Life Wedding Celebrant Melbourne

0447889564​

My name is Pam Green and I am a registered marriage celebrant based in Melbourne.

I will work alongside you to create an absolutely perfect ceremony tailored especially for you and your loved ones.

I want to design ‘the perfect ceremony’: one that is perfect for you and yours.

Weddings are days of joy where you can float through the fabulous celebrations, champagne in hand, while others around you look after your needs.

I can do just that for you so that your special day is just what you desire: unique, relaxed, yet organised, fun, stylish … just gorgeous.

While I am based in Melbourne, I am happy to travel wherever you might be.

​I am a full time celebrant and dedicated to this work.  Thus, I am very flexible and happy to work in with your needs. I can make myself available on weekdays or weekends either during the day or in the evenings.

So you are getting married?

How wonderful … congratulations.

​The coming together of two people in marriage is testimony to a commitment of love for all present to witness. The ceremony may take many forms and styles from formal to informal, from urban to rural, from indoors to outdoors, from large to small, from traditional to contemporary, and from serious to humorous. The choice is yours.

Do you want to tell your story of love? How you met?

Shall you write your own vows? Or shall I write them for you?

Favorite poems or readings? Or perhaps you would like some suggestions about what to include.

​Either way … I am here to help your create the ceremony of your dreams that reflects you as individuals and now as a couple.

A ceremony of love … and of life … your new life together.

An initial meeting (obligation free) so that we can get to know each other and chat about your ‘perfect for you and yours’ ceremony.

You choose. I am happy to come to you.

A beautiful ceremony written especially for you with the opportunity for redrafting right up to 48 hours before your special day.

A rehearsal so that your ceremony runs smoothly and just as you want it to be. We will focus on important details such as timing, positions, wording, the use of any rituals and symbols, sound  and movement. This will ensure that you feel relaxed as we shall be super organised and ready for your special day.

Unlimited contact for assistance.

All of the legal and official paperwork will be prepared and lodged for you.

A beautiful certificate for you to treasure.

Professional service from the outset.

Competitive rates just contact me about this.

A high quality PA system including wireless microphones.

​A special ceremony portfolio

– Clients booking a ceremony will have access to my portfolio of writings, readings, poems, vows and other creative elements.

– ‘My wedding planner’ is available for brides and grooms to assist with the other aspects of creating a perfect wedding

– ‘Stepping through my wedding’: a planning document that shows the main elements of a wedding ceremony. A useful starting point for developing your ceremony.

Congratulations … making a public commitment is a time to celebrate.

For some couples a commitment ceremony is chosen as a way to express love for each other.

​Whatever your situation, we can work together to create a ceremony that you will love.

If you want a stress-free, affordable yet stylish wedding, an elopement might be just what you want. Or perhaps a small wedding will fit the bill. Either way I will work with you to tailor your ceremony to suit.

If it means keeping a secret, I am good at that too. What fun!!

A vow renewal is a wonderful way to celebrate your wedding vows. Let me help you plan your special ceremony to reaffirm your commitment to each other in a meaningful way. Why not renew your vows with family and friends to celebrate an anniversary and acknowledge each other publicly.

Or you might want to redefine your commitment to one another and have a party.

Surprise it’s a wedding … It’s true!

​A surprise wedding can be a great way to celebrate without stress but with a massive wham factor. What a fun way to start a marriage and what a way to have a party to celebrate.

I can keep a secret, can you?

A naming ceremony to celebrate the arrival of your precious baby is a gorgeous way to share the miracle of birth surrounded by the love of your family and friends. During the ceremony, which often occurs around the time of the first birthday, your child is welcomed into the world. Life guardians might be nominated and special promises made.

Rituals of love, such as the light of candles, the release of balloons, fairy dust blessings and sand ceremonies, may be included.

Many people are not aware that family members can choose the celebrant who will conduct the funeral or memorial service for their loved one. Each life lived has a story to tell and by sharing memories from family and friends, the pain of grief can be eased as joyous moments within that life are retold.

My aim is to ease your grief and to work with you through the struggle of loss to create a beautiful ceremony that touches on the details of the life lived and the impact of that person throughout their life on family and friends.

Hi, I’m Nikhil. That’s pronounced like ‘Shaquille O’Neal’ with an ‘N’. People sometimes call me Shaq but that’s way too fly of a nickname for me.

One day many years ago I realised that I was really happy when I was speaking, and was at my happiest when I spoke about something that mattered.

Today I can say that it’s love and passion that drives me in my pursuit of being the best Celebrant. I’ve always loved speaking publicly and I finally get to channel it into something that makes a meaningful impact in couples’ lives.

• Personalised and custom-drafted wedding ceremony
• Unlimited support via phone, email, text messaging, snail mail, homing pigeons, and smoke signals
• Assistance with all wedding-related paperwork and lodgement
• Use of high-quality Bose S1 Pro PA system and professional-quality Sennheiser microphones for the ceremony
• Advice on wedding-day run sheets
• My best attempt to appear handsome for your Instagram

Back in 2011 I had the honour of being my brother’s best man. It was a beautiful Autumn day in Toronto. The caterers were catering, the photographers were photographing, the guests were…drinking.

Everything was going per the timeline almost to the minute-every couple’s dream!

Just before the ceremony was scheduled to start, my brother turns to me and asks me to let the celebrant know we are about 5 minutes away from ‘go-time’.

As the dutiful best man that I was, away I went in search of the celebrant. Only problem was-the celebrant didn’t show up!

Although the church wedding seems to fade away over the decades, there are some religious people who look forward a blessing from God and their friends. The wedding dress representing the purity of the bride is popular choice for many brides. Still the atmosphere of the ceremony becomes more fashionable with contemporary music and multimedia aids, giving the couple story penetrable to the quests. For this reason, the communication experience in the religious environment is very important. As for the couple who wants to represent a designated church minister to give good words, prayer, blessing and other ritual in the ceremony, I can adjust the wedding program specially for you.

The white wedding dress originally representing the purity of the bride, a wedding ring symbolizing infinity, wearing ring on the fourth finger of the left hand believed to lead directly to the heart, and the groom waiting for his bride while the bride and her father marching into the aisle, that lead to the meaningful moment of “I Do”.

In this contemporized wedding, the focus of the wedding ceremony is the couples’ love story, face to face encouragements from the attending guests, and letters from far-flung guests.

With my warm relaxed friendly manner I will put you at ease from our first meeting. Together we can create your own special ceremony.

I have a charismatic approach to weddings. My easy going approach provides couples with a unique opportunity, to experience a memorable wedding ceremony. As an experienced civil marriage celebrant, I officiate wedding ceremonies all over Melbourne.I will guide you through the legal process, and help you to create your ceremony, vows, readings and music. Whether you are looking for a wedding ceremony that is light hearted and traditional or a ritual ceremony, I will deliver the style and theme you require.

Where do we start?

When most couples start looking for a marriage celebrant, they have no idea where to start. You ask the question should our ceremony be long, short, funny or formal. There are many types of ceremonies, some where family and friends can be involved.

I would love the opportunity to meet you and discuss ways in which we can create the wedding that is true to you in a way that is beautiful and memorable. The ceremony we design together can be as simple or as elaborate as you wish, and you may want it to contain readings, music or maybe you have been to a wedding lately and have seen some other element that you would like in your ceremony.

Apply for an application for a Marriage Visa / Fiance Visa

I can help you with your application for a Fiance Visa, by writing a letter to the Australian Immigration Department. There is a booklet available which gives you a lot of information about partner migration.

My marriage ceremony costs include all meetings, email and phone discussions, completion and lodgement of your Notice of Intended Marriage, preparation of other legal documents, taking the legal responsibility for your wedding ceremony.

Your feedback is always important and I am happy to help with any questions which may arise after your wedding.

Helpful Tips

The music your choose for your wedding day is very personal. Your music may be live, a CD or USB as I have a PA system for your convenience.

Readings are a wonderful way to involve family and friends in your ceremony. It is a perfect way to include people you want to be a part of your ceremony. It may be a poem or some special words a family member has written. There are also many readings you may like to download, that represent the happy couple and what they mean to you.
