Congratulations... you're getting married!
Romantic, Elegant, Traditional, Personal, Relaxed or Funny...
your ceremony should be designed the way YOU want it to be!
Wayne and Sam
Married 26th May 2007!
I make sure your ceremony is just as you want it to be, and I care about the 'little' things others may overlook... From ensuring guests have turned off their mobile phones, making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, through to making sure the pen you sign with on the day is beautiful for your photos and actually works!
My passion is personal ceremonies that help reflect your personalities and
express
your true feelings from the heart on your wedding day... 
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MARRIAGE
THE NOTICE OF INTENDED MARRIAGE ("NIM"')
The NIM must be lodged with your celebrant NO LATER than one month and one day before your wedding date, and no earlier than 18 months before.
I provide you will all required paperwork, and I assist you to fill it out correctly at our inital appointment. I can also email or mail paperwork to interstate couples.
BIRTH CERTIFICATES
I must sight original copies of your birth certificates before the marriage can take place. Please bring these with you to our initial appointment.
If you were born outside Australia, I must sight your birth certificate, OR a valid overseas passport if your birth certificate is not readily available.
DIVORCE OR DEATH CERTIFICATES FOR PREVIOUS MARRIAGES
If you have been married previously, then I need to sight proof that the previous marriage is no longer valid by way of a Divorce Certificate, or if your husband or wife passed away, then I will need to sight the relevant Death Certificate.
LEGAL WITNESSES TO THE MARRIAGE
You require 2 legal witnesses to your marriage. Most people choose their best man and chief bridesmaid, however these can be any two people you like over the age of 18 years. You will need to provide me with their full legal name (including middle names!)
WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
Please contact me first to check your date is available!
Phone or email to check that your date is still available. If so, we can then make an appointment to meet or make arrangements over the phone for interstate or International couples.
At our meeting, we complete the legal paperwork and a non-refundable Booking Fee of $200 is paid. Interstate and International couples will complete this process by email and fax.
The booking fee secures your date and time of ceremony, lodges your legal paperwork, and provides you access to my client login section on my website. This amount is then deducted from your total ceremony fee, and the balance is due at least 2 weeks before the wedding.
For your convenience, I accept payment by way of Cash, Direct Deposit into my bank account, Credit Card through PAYMATE, or Australian Money Order.
(Please note credit cards attract a 50c +3% transaction fee through Paymate.)
