Whatever your dream day looks like, lets get chatting so we can make it happen

The Process

The big question was popped, the answer was yes – now what?

There are a few things to think about – booking a venue, deciding on the guest list and sorting the catering. But before all of that comes to life, you need to get married! That’s where I step in as your celebrant. There are two different parts of planning your ceremony to consider: figuring out exactly what you want the day to look like and the legal side. Fortunately, I can help with both.

Planning Your Ceremony

You’re looking for a celebrant and you’ve come across me – fantastic!

The first thing to do is reach out. Email, call, text, whatever works best for you. While I’ve got lots of details on my website, having a bit of a chat is so much nicer.

If we chat on the phone or over email and you like the sound of me, the next step is organising a time to meet – this can be in person or virtual. It is a simple, no obligations opportunity for you to meet me and for us to get to know a little bit more about each other before we launch into the full-blown planning process.

If you like what you see and you decide that I’m your celebrant, then we can really get stuck into it. I’ll make sure we are all agreed on plans, pricing and steps moving forward in writing, so you know exactly what you are paying for and what to expect from me.

The Legal Side

You will need to apply online at Births Deaths and Marriages for a Marriage Licence; this costs $150 and is a non-refundable fee paid to the government. This Licence is only valid for 3 months, and you can get married any time within this 3-month period. If the 3-month period lapses, and you’ve had to delay your wedding for whatever reason, you will need to apply for another Licence and pay the fee again. Because of this time period, don’t worry about rushing to get your Licence in the early days.

When your application is processed and approved, you will be issued two documents that are identical – a BDM45 and BDM45a. These are called the Copy of Particulars to Marriage and must be signed on the day you get married by yourselves, your two witnesses and your celebrant. You get to keep a copy, and I will send a copy to Births Deaths and Marriages to legally register your marriage.
