The Legals Only...​

​

This involves the couple, myself and two witnesses. There is no ceremony, as such. We are crossing the t's and dotting the i's, as they say. There are no personal vows or music, but a wedding wouldn't be a wedding without rings.

It's perfect for cultural weddings to make it legal here in Australia, or for a visa wedding.

We can still have fun with it, reserving a table at your favourite restaurant or cafe, or just a picnic on the beach.

I say my legal bits, you say yours, then we sign and witness the legal forms and we're done and dusted.

​

The Elopement...

​

Covid, for all it's trials, tests and frustrations, served to remind the wedding industry of the importance of small, intimate ceremonies. The limitations that resulted from the pandemic saw a surge in ceremonies focused on love and commitment. Just you, your partner, a handful of your nearest and dearest... aaaaaand 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, plus all the resources and assistance that you will need to sculpt, to create, the perfect ceremony.

You send it to me and I'll clean it up and maybe make some suggestions before I send it back to you for your final approval.

​

The Personalised Ceremony...

​

This one is my favourite. You answer a shed-load of questions, and I really make you put your thinking caps on for this, coz it's all in the details. You're not allowed to collaborate, either.

I then take your exact words and weave them into the story of you. I will then send you a first draft and you can edit to your hearts content, until we have a ceremony that is quintisantially you.

​

The Renewal of Vows...

​

This is one of the most touching types of ceremony. Imagine... here's a couple who has taken everything that life has thrown at them, the trials, the trauma, the joys and the victories; supported each other, seen each other at their best... and their worst, and they still want to celebrate each other and their love.

​

The Commitment Ceremony...

​

Life is full or curve balls and spinners. You've made the plans, spent all that money, you've lost all that weight... whatever, and all of sudden, it's not going to happen, legally, not on the day that all those people have travelled form far and wide to celebrate with you.

Never fear, for I am here... with my Commitment Ceremony. You can still get 'married' on your on your special day, with a ceremony that sounds and looks like the real thing, it just won't be the real thing. We can, however, meet up when everything is sorted out and do a quick Legals Only to make it official.

Master of Ceremonies...

​

You leave with the photographer, and I organise the wedding party, make sure that everyone knows where they are going, how they are getting there, what time they need to be there, and the game plan once they arrive.

I liaise with venue management and your muso’s/DJ’s throughout the evening, ensuring everything runs smoothly, i.e. – speeches, first dance, cake cutting, garter and bouquet toss, etc, etc.

I also make sure that all of your guests are present and engaged, no durrie smoking or lagging at the bar during the speeches, for example.

Many people choose friends or family to be their MC, but it’s only fair that they enjoy your special day, and night, with you, and not have to be on point through-out the whole night.
