  • Where do we start?
    I’ve been exactly where you are, googling and searching Instagram for the right celebrant to suit my partner and I. I suggest you start by sitting down with your partner, a blank piece of paper and your favourite drinks. Make it a real moment! Write down what you are both looking for in a ceremony and a celebrant. Here are some questions to get you started: How do we see the ceremony? What’s non-negotiable? (answer this one separately and compare) What did we like about other people’s ceremonies we’ve been to? What parts didn’t we like? How do we want everyone to feel during and after the ceremony? These answers will help to shape what your eventual wedding ceremony will be and help you decide which celebrant is right for you. Next, I suggest you arrange to meet with your prospective celebrant. This is a great opportunity to size them up and understand if they can deliver exactly what you are after. In my case, I offer a complimentary meet and greet for that exact reason. Contact me now to arrange yours.
  • How much does a Wedding Celebrant cost?
    The fee a Wedding Celebrant will charge ranges depending on a few things: Their experience Their demand And most importantly, how they personalise your ceremony. In my case, I create bespoke, engaging and personal ceremonies from scratch for each and every couple. I'm here to get to know your wants, your visions and even help you with your vows if need be. I also focus on building a connection with you, so that when we're up there on the day of your wedding, you are feeling more comfortable with someone telling your story and performing your ceremony.

  • How soon should I book a Wedding Celebrant?
    The minute you are happy with one! Not to stress you out, but I would secure your favourite celebrant (hi there!) sooner rather than later. The past two years have seen a large volume of weddings being rescheduled, which means dates are getting snapped up fast.
  • What legal documents are required to get married?
    Marriage documents need to be completed at three different stages leading up to your wedding: Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM): your first official document that we complete in our first in-person meeting. This must be signed at least 30 days prior to your ceremony. Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage: Normally we’ll complete this one closer to your wedding, say at the rehearsal. This confirms that you aren’t under 18 or related (important questions). Official Certificates of Marriage and your commemorative marriage certificate: these we sign during your ceremony! We’ll also need two witnesses who are 18+ and can understand the ceremony.
  • Do you MC?
    I do, thanks for asking! Maybe you're considering someone close to you to MC your wedding, but in case you are worried about burdening someone (or them getting too sloppy on the day), I'm your guy to take the reigns. I have over a decades worth of public speaking experience including at weddings and corporate events across Australia and I know how to work a crowd. If you find yourself considering whether or not you need an MC or who in your life is best equipped, I’m happy to discuss it with you as part of our first meeting, even to just share some advice.
  • What is the point of a rehearsal?
    It might sound silly, but there’s a few things to consider that a rehearsal will cover like: Where will you both stand? How long does it take to walk the aisle? Will you hold hands? What about the kiss? Where would you like the celebrant to be? (standing between you isn’t the only option) Not only do we cover all of this off, but we'll go through the key moments together so everyone knows what to expect (without over engineering it), This way you can both arrive, be in awe of each other and get married without worrying if you’re in the right spot.
  • Do you offer rehearsals?
    Yes, and in fact, I insist! I offer one rehearsal as part of my fee.
  • Do you do elopements?
    I sure do! I’m here to help you however you see marrying your partner. I’m based in Sydney but I’m always down for a destination wedding.
  • I’m getting married overseas, can you officiate our wedding outside of Australia?
    As much as I'd like to be on the shores of Fiji, Australian Marriage Celebrants are only authorised to officiate weddings within Australia.
  • Do you offer a “legals only” wedding ceremony?
    Absolutely. This kind of ceremony strips everything back to what is only legally required. This involves us completing all the legal paperwork (at least 30 days before your ceremony according to Australian marriage law), as well as each of us saying the minimum legal requirements during your ceremony and BAM, you are married!
