Frequently Asked Questions
-
My ceremonies are warm, relaxed and personal, shaped around the feel you want for your day.
I blend sentimental moments with lighthearted touches. I guide you through each step, set a calm tone, and create a ceremony that reflects your story in a way that feels natural and engaging for everyone. -
Currently, my packages do not include on-location rehearsals, and they are priced accordingly. I believe a beautiful and meaningful ceremony can be easily achieved without one.
Instead, I schedule an in-depth phone call with couples in the week leading up to the wedding to talk through all the details and ensure you feel confident and prepared.
However, if you feel strongly about having an on-location rehearsal, I’m happy to attend for an additional $200 plus travel.
You can read more about why this is my policy here.
-
My Superb Ceremony package includes the coordination and playing of:
1 processional song (for your walk down the aisle)
3 songs during the signing
1 recessional song (to close the ceremony)
If you’d like additional ceremony music—such as multiple songs for your wedding party’s entrance—I recommend arranging this with a friend or your wedding coordinator.
Alternatively, if you’d prefer that I manage all ceremony music beyond the five songs included, a rehearsal will be required and can be added to your package for an additional fee.
-
At our Planning & Paperwork meeting, we’ll complete your Notice of Intended Marriage form together.
It’s easiest if you pre-fill page three of the form before our meeting, and then we’ll sign it in person (or over Zoom if needed). This form must be submitted to me, your celebrant, at least one month before your ceremony and no earlier than 18 months prior.
From there, I’ll take care of the rest of the legal requirements for you!
-
The simplest way to meet the ID requirements are to show me the following:
Birth Certificates or Passports (original)
Driver’s Licences or Proof of Age Cards
A recent rates, energy, or rego bill in one of your names showing your current address (so I can apply for your marriage certificate)
If you’ve been previously married, proof of the end of that marriage (Divorce Order or Death Certificate)
Please bring all of this documentation to our face-to-face meeting.
If you can’t provide these, let me know and I can help you choose alternatives or make other arrangements.
-
My pricing reflects the time, care and expertise that go into creating a personalised ceremony, while keeping things fair and flexible for every couple. I don’t include on-location rehearsals as standard and I charge travel by the kilometre. This means you only pay for what you actually need, rather than a higher flat rate that includes extras not everyone requires.

In short, as soon as possible.
If you’re getting married in the autumn or spring months, I highly recommend booking your celebrant as soon as you have your date locked in. This gives you the best chance to work with someone who suits your style and meets your needs.
