I do!

Two words that say I love you -  and together  you are ready to start the next chapter of your very own love story.

Congratulations!

Your wedding day planning begins 

Contact me!
Let's have a chat about the process of getting married in Australia and my role as your Marriage Celebrant.

If you choose me as your Marriage Celebrant to be a part of your Wedding Day, I will be very honoured that we have connected and together we can focus on the ceremony that you would like that represents you as a couple.
All of the paperwork will be completed in the required time frame to ensure your marriage is registered with the Births Deaths and Marriages Department.

Sit back, enjoy the planning while I work with you both to discuss all things ceremony! 

 

​

To start your planning: 

  • Confirm your  wedding date, and pay a non-refundable fee 

  • A Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) form needs to be completed.

  • A NOIM must be lodged a minimum of one calendar month or up to a maximum of 18 months prior to the date of your marriage.

  • To complete the NOIM you will need to provide proof of your identity.

               - Birth Certificate

               - Passport

               - If it is not your first marriage, proof of divorce or death of your former spouse

​

We will also discuss your Wedding Day:

  • What are your plans or ideas for your ceremony?

  • I will happily offer some suggestions of different ceremony ideas you may like.

  • An information booklet with advice and tips will be provided.

 

I will discuss what elements you would like included in your Ceremony:

  • A draft ceremony will be written that will include what we have discussed 

  • We can make any changes and tweak the ceremony.

  • Arrange another get-together to finalise the ceremony.

​

Many couples have a rehearsal prior to their big day.

  • This is a good idea as it enables everyone to get to know one another and clarifies their roles and how the couple would like their day to unfold.

  • The couple will need to complete the 'Declaration of No legal Impediment to Marriage' form. This confirms your intention to marry and declares that the information you have provided is correct.

 

Your wedding day has arrived!

  • Today you will state your vows in front of your invited guests.

  • There are two legal components to your ceremony that must be included. The Monitum and Legal Vows in accordance with the Marriage Act 1961; these have been included in your ceremony.

  • Your only role on the day is to enjoy, relax and seal the deal with a kiss!

  • Your Marriage Certificate is signed during the ceremony.

  • Enjoy and celebrate the rest of your day with your family and friends!

 

Post Wedding Day: 

  • I will register your marriage with the Births Deaths and Marriages Victoria

  • Your official Marriage Certificate will be posted to you once it is legally registered
