As a marriage celebrant, I have two main tasks:
You decide what you want to say and do during the ceremony. Whether you know exactly what you want or need ideas and suggestions, we will work together to create a wedding ceremony that’s just right for you.
I will provide an order of ceremony (a “script” to make sure everything runs smoothly), run a rehearsal and provide a PA system if required for the ceremony.
I will make sure that all the legal requirements are fulfilled in the lead-up to the big day and during the ceremony. I will also lodge the required paperwork to ensure your marriage is properly registered.
Ceremonies have always been used to mark the big moments in our lives. You want it to be just right. Whether it’s your wedding day, a naming ceremony for your new baby or a funeral for a loved one, it’s a milestone in your life journey. The words that are spoken, the symbols and ceremonies that are used to mark the occasion – they will echo down the years.
I’ve always been interested in the way we use ceremonies, special words and rituals to mark and celebrate the major milestones in our lives, so becoming a celebrant was a natural move for me.
