Your Special Day
I'm a qualified Celebrant who can perform your wedding ceremony, baby naming ceremony, commitment ceremony and renewal of vows. I provide wedding celebrant services in Wagga and Albury, and throughout the Riverina.
To assist you in the planning, I supply a booklet that has an abundance of samples & material, you can choose my words, or create your own, (the possibilities are endless)! Either way I will help and guide you in the design of your Personalised Ceremony. The booklet also includes poetry, readings and rituals such as sand blending, warming of rings, stone messaging, candle lighting, rose ceremonies and hand fasting.
I want to give you both a ceremony that you've always dreamed of, whether you’re getting married, naming your precious little one or renewing your vows. I'm happy to meet with couples as many times as needed to create your perfect day.
My services include:
The Ceremony
The Ceremony will take approx 20 minutes and must include:-
Monitum
Legal element from the Marriage Act – spoken by the Celebrant.
Vows
Marriage commitment – repeated after the celebrant.
The Ceremony may include:
Legalities Before you can be married
You will need to complete a Notice of Intended Marriage form (NIM) no later that 1 month prior to your Wedding. This can be lodged 18 months in advance. This may be done by fax or email, followed by the hard copy in the mail. A booking fee is required at this stage with the balance of the fee due 3 days prior to the wedding.
The documents I will need to sight are:
– If born in Australia or overseas – Original Birth Certificates or Passport and Drivers Licence.
– If either of you have been married before – Original Divorce Decree papers or Death Certificate of a previous spouse.
Two witnesses over the age of 18 are required to sign the Marriage Register and Certificates at the Wedding Ceremony

Your Personal choice – to be played before, during the bride’s arrival and whilst signing the legal documents.
Trial run your arrival, one week prior.
Important Tips for the Big Day, Council approval may be required for public venues.
A large umbrella in the Wedding car in case of rain.
Bride will sign her maiden name on all documents.
Have a plan B available in case of bad weather:
Booking your celebrant should be one of the first things you do. Contact me to check my availability and we can arrange a meeting.
I would find it a privilege and an honour to be invited to officiate your wedding day.
As a celebrant, it is a very happy day and a hugely rewarding experience, to be part of your special day!
