Wedding ceremony, same-sex wedding ceremony, commitment ceremony or a renewal of vows, let's make it a day to remember... forever!
Legals Only Ceremony
This involves the couple, myself, and two witnesses. There is no ceremony, as such. We are taking care of the legal parts, 'crossing the t's and dotting the i's', as they used to say. This ceremony is perfect for weddings of different cultures or religions, who need to legalise it in the eyes of the Australian law. It is also a favourite of couples who are starting the visa process.
We can still enjoy ourselves and have fun with it. We meet up at a café, or at your place, for example. I say my legal bit, each of you says your legal bit. Then we and your witnesses sign the necessary forms, and we are done and dusted. This ceremony does not include a ring ceremony (though you can exchange rings when you make your legal declarations). It also does not include personal vows or music.
Elopement Ceremony
Covid, for all its trials, tests and frustrations, served to remind the Wedding Industry of the importance of the Elopement Ceremony. All of a sudden couples were going from huge events to intimate affairs and it served to highlight love and initmacy. Just you, your partner, and a handful of your nearest and dearest... aaaaaaand me.
Create Your Own Ceremony
It is your special day and you want it to be memorable. You most definitely have a picture in mind of how you want your ceremony to be. Well, this is your chance to create the ceremony that you want. From start to finish. I provide you with a 1st draft template of your ceremony and I provide you with all the resources that you will need to sculpt, create, the perfect ceremony. You send it to me, I'll clean it up and possibly make suggestions before I send it back to you.
Personalised Ceremony
This one is my favourite. I send you a questionnaire and you really have to put your thinking caps on. You're not allowed to collaborate because the two different sets of answers really highlight the dynamic of the couple. I will then take your exact words and I will weave them into the story of you. I will then send you the 1st draft and you can edit it to your hearts content, until we have a ceremony that is quintisenitially you.
