I believe your day should be all about you both, and about your love for each other. Your Wedding can be romantic, traditional, original, simple or extravagant, but above all it should reflect the love you hold for each other and the relationship you share.

Together we will plan this special day to make sure your marriage will be the magical and memorable day you have always dreamt it to be.

As your Civil Celebrant, my service will provide:

• An initial, no obligation meeting
• A listening ear; with lots of support to put together that perfect wedding ceremony.
• I will provide you with many choices and ideas, traditional or contemporary, formal or informal, all with the intent to make your wedding ceremony unique to you.
• On-site rehearsal to ensure everything runs smoothly (if required)
• Professional PA system, signing table and chairs  (if required)
• All Australian legal requirements will be met.  From the signing of the NOIM, at least one month and one day prior to the ceremony to the registration of your marriage. 
• An experienced and professional celebrant on the day of your wedding.

The information I provide offers you many suggestions for vows and readings.  Or you can source or write your own. Included are many rituals that can be incorporated in your wedding ceremony, rituals that enhance and help to create a ceremony which is purely yours.

The following are some examples

	Ring Warming Ceremony The rings are placed in a bag - purchased especially for this purpose - and passed around the guests. Each guest is required to hold the rings in their hands, warming them with their love and best wishes for our special couple, before then passing them on.
	Handfasting Ceremony Bride and groom hold hands; pulse to pulse, a ribbon of selected colours is then tied around their hands, fastening in a knot. The bonds are then slipped off and placed in a bag for safekeeping, a symbol of their continuing commitment to each other. The ribbons can be of different colours, each colour representing a different blessing, a commitment of love.
	Rose Ceremony In the language of flowers, a single red rose has always meant, "I love you". This is either the first gift given between husband and wife. Or can be the first gift given as a married couple to special guests, ie: their respective mothers, grandmothers.
	Candle Lighting Ceremony The bride and groom each hold a taper, signifying their own individuality. These tapers are used to light the centre marriage candle, this candle representing unity. The lighting of the marriage candle signifies the union of two people and their families. The candle being lit today may also be lit every year on the bride & groom's anniversary, to signify their ongoing commitment to each other. The flame will continue to guide and support them on their journey.
	Combining of Families A ritual can be written especially for to give significance to the joining of two families, creating a new loving unit. There are many ways we can symbolise this formation of this new family, giving the children from both sides a role in the ceremony.

A wedding ceremony can be conducted at the location of your choice. It may be the local gardens, a vineyard, on a beach or by a river. It may be in your lounge or your back yard or in a remote location special to you. I have conducted ceremonies which involved the bridal couple and their witnesses only, to weddings with several hundred guests.

I am ready to be your Civil Celebrant. I am ready to listen to you and to share in your ideas and dreams. To help ensure your day runs smoothly. Please feel free to make a non obligation appointment with me.

A unique ceremony that reflects the both of you.
