Weddings
Your wedding day should be as unique and special as your love story, and I’m here to help make that happen. Choosing one of my wedding packages begins with a simple step - just pick up the phone or reach out for a no-obligation chat or video call. During our conversation, I’ll take the time to understand your vision for your big day and explain everything you need to know about the legal requirements and the steps involved in creating your dream ceremony.
If you decide to move forward with me, we’ll complete a booking form, sign my service agreement, and arrange a face-to-face appointment to finalise the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM). At this meeting, I’ll check your original ID documents, and then invoice you for the booking fee to secure your date. From there, I’ll return to my office and write a ceremony tailored to you, providing unlimited support via email, phone, or video calls to ensure every detail is perfect. A final meeting (if included in your package), often your rehearsal at the venue, will give us the opportunity to finalise the remaining paperwork and meet the legal requirement of an individual meeting with each of you to confirm that you’re entering into your marriage voluntarily.
I’m thrilled to be listed on The Wedding Magazine & Australian Wedding Celebrants websites.

The Intimate Path (Short & Sweet Smaller Option)

The Intimate Path is ideal for couples who want an intimate ceremony shared with a small group of guests (up to 50). It’s perfect for those who desire a celebration without the complexity or cost of a larger wedding.
Couples choosing this option often wish to celebrate with the same love and joy as a full ceremony.
