What if you’re sick?

I take my vitamins don’t worry! But in the very rare case that I am unable to perform your ceremony due to illness or emergency, I will contact a suitable celebrant and ensure the ceremony we designed is produced for you.

What if it rains?

This is where plan B comes into effect. It won’t rain, don’t worry, but… if you are planning on having a ceremony outside, you should organise a plan B just in case. You don’t need that sort of stress on your wedding day, if it rains there’s a back up, no dramas.

What do you bring to the ceremony?

I bring your celebrant (me!) all the necessary paperwork/certificates, your ceremony script, signing pen and my pa system if required for the venue.

Can my ceremony be religious?

Absolutely! That’s the wonderful thing about civil ceremonies, we can blend different religions, traditions and symbols. Whatever is important to you and your family; I am very open and encouraging to include in your ceremony.

How many weddings do you do in a day?

This depends on timing. I may do two in a day. If one is in the morning and then yours is in the afternoon it is possible. I will always disclose if there is another ceremony on the same day and allow appropriate timing between both. One ceremony will never affect the other, i’m all yours!

How much of the ceremony do you actually write?

As much as you like. I think it’s special when couples choose to write their own vows or readings and I strongly encourage you to write/choose your own. But, some couples find it difficult or would prefer not to and that’s ok, i’m here to help! This gets discussed in our meeting during our designing of the ceremony.

Do you do vow renewals or other ceremonies?

Yes, I love them! Performing renewal of vows is fun, special and reflective. The nerves are gone, the love is deeper, and it’s a wonderful feeling observing long lasting love and the commitment to one another all over again.
