This is the full ceremony where you are limited only by your imagination.

• Detailed intro

• Story telling,

• Monitum (legal words form the Marriage Act),

• legal and personal vows,

• readings,

• rings,

• rituals, and

• bells, whistles.

Fee inclusions:

• An initial in-person meeting/s to discuss your needs, provide you with relevant information on marriage and progress legal and booking documentation, including the NOIM;

• A copy of my ceremony reference guide;

• all local phone calls, emails, mailing and/or meetings (as agreed) to clarify and confirm ceremony details;

Legal Only

A short process with only the bare minimum in legal components. 

• Monitum (legal words form the Marriage Act),

• legal vows,

• signing and you are married.

This process takes about 10 minutes to perform and is suited for those couples who are simply looking to make the marriage official; generally for those who aren’t looking for fanfare, likely have no guests, except two witnesses.  

This can happen at my place, a cafe or a park.

Just need at least a month's notice to complete initial paper work.

I lodge all the legal paperwork to ensure your marriage is registered with BDM.

I usually ask for some flexibility with the date and time if possible to meet other commitments.
