Weddings

Every bride dreams of a perfect wedding day and I endeavour to make that dream come true.

I believe that it doesn’t matter if it is your first or third marriage it is still one of the most important days in your life.

I can offer you a fabulous ceremony tailored to suit your individual needs. Together we can create the best wedding ceremony for your special day. I have my own personalised ceremonies with readings and poems, which I shall give you a copy of to take home and peruse. Maybe you would like a candle service or a special roses ceremony when exchanging your rings. You may wish to have family or friends participate in your ceremony by way of sharing readings or poems as this will make your day more personal.

Where necessary I will supply a table, chair and cloth for the signing. If it is a large wedding I will use my portable amplifier with a lapel microphone. Hand written calligraphy on the wedding certificate is also available. Dressing to colour co-ordinate with the bridal party, I always try to match the theme of the wedding.

Whether you have a small casual or large formal wedding, in a park, private home, beach or reception house, I pay attention to detail.

Contact me today for an obligation free meeting.

Legal Requirements

At our first meeting you will be required to complete a Notice of Intended Marriage document. This notice must be filled out at least 31 days prior to the intended wedding and no more than 18 months in advance.

Documents Required

If born in Australia and a first wedding – birth certificates only (full copy for preference).

If born in Australia and a second wedding – birth certificates and if you are a divorced person you must show the decree absolute relevant to the termination of the last marriage. If you are a widow or widower you must show the death certificate.

If you have been born overseas a birth certificate and passport or in the case of a previous marriage – details of termination.

If you have trouble assembling these documents I may be able to tell you where to go to get copies or give you a statutory declaration to sign.

Age

You must be 18 years of age or over to marry in Australia. The only exception is if one party is 18 and the other is 16 or over and has parent's and the court's consent.

Once the paperwork has all been completed, I require a non refundable deposit which is included in the overall fee.
