PACKAGES
The Packages
I have a passion for love, equality, respect and specialising in LGBTQIA weddings. Being a part of the queer community I've had many couple's who have chosen me to be their celebrant as I realise the importance of belonging, having the right language and wanting non-traditional weddings.
You can trust me to take care of your celebration, and to make it what the two of you are really wanting out of your day. I am a mum to 2 beautiful little girls, been married to my wife for 9 years. I am a total animal lover, being a Veterinary Nurse for over 10 years. Thinking of bringing or including your pet in your ceremony? Amazing!
Elopement Style Wedding:
This is for the couple choosing to ‘Elope’ with ONLY their two witnesses.
This is a 5-minute registry style wedding.
The focus being entirely on the couple getting married. Only the legal words are
exchanged.
People included on the day: Partner 1, Partner 2, Witness 1, Witness 2 and
celebrant. If you are looking to celebrate on a budget but with style, something
stress-free and no fuss, quick yet meaningful and memorable then this is a good
choice.
It is the same as getting married at the Registry Office, but instead at your own
chosen location, with me! For example, your favourite spot at a beach, park, near the
water. I have lots of suggestions for available locations.
On the day:
• The couple sign declarations that they are over the age of 18 years, not legally married to anyone else and are not directly related to each other (before the ceremony)
• The couple gets married in a simple, quick ceremony:
1. Just the legal words
2. Personal and legal vows are exchanged.
3. Rings exchanged.
• The ‘Certificate of Marriage’ is signed by the couple and 2 witnesses and then presented to the couple.
