So how does this work
One of the most common things I hear when I meet with couples is that they have no idea where to start when it comes to the ceremony, so let’s break it down so you know what to expect from the first email to the big day.
​
FIRST OF ALL LET'S CONNECT
Send me an email and let me know what you're planning the date, time, and venue and I can get back to you and let you know if I'm available as well as my fees, plus answer any other questions you might have. If all this sounds good let's connect for an obligation-free chat to discuss your wedding
WE CATCH UP
At the end of our initial meeting, I will give you a quote for your specific circumstances, and a contract that outlines our commitment to one another. Should you choose to go on this journey, with me alongside as your celebrant, you can confirm a booking by paying a deposit.
​
NEXT
Generally a couple of months out from the wedding we arrange a catch-up to discuss your plans including, the length and feel of the ceremony, how the ceremony will run, anyone you might like to include, or any ideas you have for doing something a bit different. We will discuss the logistics of the ceremony ensuring they are taken care of as well as getting to know a bit more about you and your story. I also run you through the process of getting a marriage license that you will need for the big day too.
​
I CRAFT THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE CEREMONY
Approximately 6-8 weeks out from your big day you'll receive the first draft of your wedding ceremony. Once you've read through it if there are any changes or suggestions you would like let me know and I'll make the changes to get it perfect. We will keep going until you are 100% happy with your ceremony
​
REHEARSAL TIME
In the week leading up to your big day, we will do a rehearsal with you and your bridal party. During the rehearsal I check that the marriage license is sorted, run through the music for the ceremony, cover off who stands where, how the signing of the marriage certificate will go, and check any last-minute details.
​
THE BIG DAY
I arrive at the venue at least an hour before your ceremony, set up my PA system, check the music etc while checking in with anyone involved in the ceremony and making any other final checks. Then I get down to it and marry you, complete the legal paperwork, then leave you to have a great party!
