Step into something magical

The two marriage ceremony services I offer are a REGISTRY-STYLE WEDDING or TRADITIONAL WEDDING.

NOTHING FANCY, JUST PURE LOVE

A REGISTRY-STYLE WEDDING ceremony is sometimes referred to as a ‘legals only’ service & may be ideal if:

  • You’d like to marry now & party later!
  • You have a small budget.
  • You’d like a short ceremony with only the minimal spoken words required to become legally married.
  • You’d like an intimate ceremony with only your celebrant, two legal witnesses & 10 guests or less.
  • You can’t be bothered going to the registry office & want your celebrant to come to you.
  • The thought of planning & paying for a traditionally styled wedding is simply too much!

You’ll also have the option of speaking your own personal vows to accompany an exchange of rings.

YOUR RED CARPET MOMENT HAS ARRIVED!

Before we start planning your TRADITIONAL WEDDING ceremony, it’s worth knowing that no two ceremonies are alike.

I’ll work with you to design your ceremony the way you want it to be. A ceremony that will be memorable for you & your family & friends celebrating your wedding day with you.

A TRADITIONAL WEDDING ceremony takes many hours to design, about 25 minutes to deliver & could run a little or a lot like this …
