Not many women, if any, need to be “Given away” these days? I believe it’s more about having family accompany you down the aisle. There are many different options that my couples have tried, which acknowledge your particular family and circumstances. I have even dealt with tricky situations and made even those touching and beautiful.. Let me explain when we meet.

Can I write my own Vows?

Of course you can, as long as you include this legal sentence:
“I ask the people here present to witness that I, ____, take you, ___ to be my lawful wedded husband/wife/spouse”

I have plenty of tools to help with this.

What if I have no idea what to say for my vows?

For sure they can…. readings, stories, gifts, acknowledgements, MCs, musicians, poetry, prayers, blessings, rituals, … just to name a few things.  I’ll come up with ideas for anyone you wish to include.

How long will the ceremony be?

Let’s see what ideas we come up with. In the end it’s not how long, but how meaningful and engaging? I don’t do boring, so short or long is up to what you decide to include. A good bench mark is 30 minutes. However, ask me about the options.  I promise it will be interesting.

What do we need to sign?

Three certificates on your wedding day, and a declaration before the ceremony.

Do we need to mention religious things?

Not unless you want to.

I’m undecided about walking down the aisle?

Let’s talk about the options.

Not many women, if any, need to be “Given away” these days? I believe it’s more about having family accompany you down the aisle. There are many different options that my couples have tried, which acknowledge your particular family and circumstances. I have even dealt with tricky situations and made even those touching and beautiful.. Let me explain when we meet.

Can I write my own Vows?

Of course you can, as long as you include this legal sentence:
“I ask the people here present to witness that I, ____, take you, ___ to be my lawful wedded husband/wife/spouse”

I have plenty of tools to help with this.

What if I have no idea what to say for my vows?

Ah, now that’s where I can definitely help you. I have tools to help us nut this out, and can offer a variety of examples, and tips. I can even chat with you and write a draft for you. No-one need know.  AND I will give you my ABC guide to writing your vows.

Or try out my Dial-a-vow service.  It’s just a cute way to say, phone me and I’ll help you put all those ideas and random words into an elegant order.

What name do I sign? What signature?

Sign with your maiden / bachelor / current name on all documents.
Once you are married… then you can use a married name anywhere.
But that’s after the wedding of course!

So what name do I use to book the honeymoon?

If you are travelling straight after your wedding, then book in your current name. Your official documents may take a while to change. Give yourself time for this process to happen easily and smoothly.

What name do I sign? What signature?

Sign with your maiden / bachelor / current name on all documents.
Once you are married… then you can use a married name anywhere.
But that’s after the wedding of course!

So what name do I use to book the honeymoon?

If you are travelling straight after your wedding, then book in your current name. Your official documents may take a while to change. Give yourself time for this process to happen easily and smoothly.

 FAQ : AFTER YOUR WEDDING DAY

 

How do I change to my married name?

I will explain all this during our meetings, but I will also email you with details after your wedding and explain the steps again in detail. I can assist with some of the steps, and I give you a change of name guide. AND I will send you this information again after your wedding day.

I have other questions.

I do often travel south to the Gold Coast or to Byron Bay, or north to Rainbow Beach, Hervey Bay and beyond.

What does a celebrant cost?

A celebrant in Australia can cost anywhere from $400 to $1400.

I give you a premium service, for less cost than many others. I charge more than the budget celebrant, because I won’t give you a budget service.

My fees fall somewhere in between the above costs for a full wedding; much less mid week, more on a weekend, slightly more for weekends in Spring, but less for a morning wedding! Does that make sense?  Elopements available from $450. Bear in mind that even a registry wedding on a Saturday costs more than $600.Ask me for a quote on your particular wedding details.

Have a read of this article before you book a celebrant, to get an idea of what you might be paying for.

FAQ : PLANNING YOUR WEDDING

 I’m not sure where to start for my wedding ceremony? What do we need to do?

Basically I metaphorically walk beside you in the planning all the way towards your wedding ceremony.  So let’s start by meeting.  Everything flows from there.  I’ll guide each step. My aim is to make it easy, yet open to all your ideas.
I assist with everything to do with the ceremony. I offer to write up a full script for your ceremony drawing on your story your ideas, your personalities that I glean from discussions.
You can create as much as you wish or else, you need do nothing at all, and I will do it all for you.

What first?

You will need to lodge a Notice Of Intended Marriage with your chosen celebrant, at least one month before your wedding. This form lasts for 18 months, so the sooner the better really.
Download the form here, or contact me for an easy online process.

What documents do we need?

You will need to submit the original documents of your ID.  Here is a basic list. I will send you a more comprehensive list on booking:

 

  • Birth Certificates or a current and valid passport
  • Some other form of Photo ID, like a driver’s licence or passport.
  • If either party has been previously married, some evidence of the termination date of that Marriage (death certificate, decree nisi, or other)

 

FAQ : YOUR WEDDING CEREMONY

What will you wear on my wedding day, Kari?

Actually I will ask you that question.  What do you want me to wear? Let’s discuss your colour and theme, and the possibilities. I aim to fit into your wedding day seamlessly. So just let me know what you’d like me to wear!

How do I choose witnesses to my marriage?

Choose two people over the age of eighteen. Anyone you like. Yes it can be family, friends or someone else.

Can other people be involved in the wedding ceremony?

For sure they can…. readings, stories, gifts, acknowledgements, MCs, musicians, poetry, prayers, blessings, rituals, … just to name a few things.  I’ll come up with ideas for anyone you wish to include.

How long will the ceremony be?

Let’s see what ideas we come up with. In the end it’s not how long, but how meaningful and engaging? I don’t do boring, so short or long is up to what you decide to include. A good bench mark is 30 minutes. However, ask me about the options.  I promise it will be interesting.

What do we need to sign?

Three certificates on your wedding day, and a declaration before the ceremony.

Do we need to mention religious things?

Not unless you want to.

I’m undecided about walking down the aisle?

Let’s talk about the options.

Not many women, if any, need to be “Given away” these days? I believe it’s more about having family accompany you down the aisle. There are many different options that my couples have tried, which acknowledge your particular family and circumstances. I have even dealt with tricky situations and made even those touching and beautiful.. Let me explain when we meet.

Can I write my own Vows?

Of course you can, as long as you include this legal sentence:
“I ask the people here present to witness that I, ____, take you, ___ to be my lawful wedded husband/wife/spouse”

I have plenty of tools to help with this.

What if I have no idea what to say for my vows?

Ah, now that’s where I can definitely help you. I have tools to help us nut this out, and can offer a variety of examples, and tips. I can even chat with you and write a draft for you. No-one need know.  AND I will give you my ABC guide to writing your vows.
