Your Wedding Process
This is a step-by-step guide to your wedding process. Some packages may have more or fewer steps, depending on your ceremony type. I’m flexible with the process—this is simply a guide, and we can adjust it to suit your needs!
1. Fill Out the Form
Fill out this form. Start by providing your date and location (or a rough idea) so I can check availability.
2. Obligation-Free Chat
I’ll respond within 24 hours to confirm availability. Then, we’ll have a no-obligation chat (in person or via Zoom) to see if I’m the right celebrant for you.
3. Secure Your Date
After meeting, take time to decide your wedding package. Once you're sure, lock in your date by:
Signing the client service agreement
Paying the 30% non-refundable booking fee
4. Planning & Inspiration
I’ll provide as much or as little guidance as you need—ideas, legal steps, and tips to create the best ceremony possible.
5. In-Depth Planning Meeting (Approx. 3 months out)
We’ll get into all the ceremony details, discuss your love story (if you want it included), and complete the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM).
Your second payment (30%) is due after this meeting.
6. 10 Weeks to Go – Your Love Story
If we’re including your love story, get your questionnaire back to me by now so I can fine-tune it.
7. Ceremony Creation
I’ll craft your bespoke ceremony and send it to you for approval. You’ll have as much input as you like—it’s your ceremony.
8. Final Details (1 Month to Go)
Final payment due
Vows finalised and sent to me
Music, readings, and any final touches confirmed
9. Rehearsal (Optional, Week of Ceremony)
If you’d like a rehearsal, we’ll schedule it close to your ceremony date to check details like light and positioning. We’ll also complete a final legal form (or do this on the wedding day).
10. Your Wedding Day
I arrive at least 30 minutes early to check the setup, greet guests, and ensure everything runs smoothly.
We go through the ceremony and sign the legal paperwork.
I’ll give your marriage certificate to a trusted person before quietly slipping away so you can enjoy your big day.
11. You’re Married!
I’ll lodge all paperwork and order your Official Marriage Certificate (the one you need for name changes).
