Ask away, I'm here to help
I get that you feel clueless and a bit lost. I know you’re unsure, that is why I expect about 1,000 questions from you. I worry if you don’t ask me! Ask away as I'm here to help in any way I can. I always try to have the right answer, if I don't I will try and find it for you.
What will i wear!
Well I think it's important, don't you? I always ask what your weddings colour scheme and theme is so I know how I should dress. While I know I'm maybe a little too old to be a bridesmaid these days I don't want to appear to be dressing like yours! If you have a certain preference I'm completely open to your thoughts and ideas. I've got a pretty big wardrobe!
My PA and your music
I have a fantastic portable system called a LD Maui Go 5 to play your music through for your ceremony. It provides up to 30 hours of continuous performance and while I’m not 100% sure what a sub-woofer is, it has one (or maybe two)! Although I'm a really big fan of live music, my PA is there if you need it. Having live music can and does make all the difference to your ceremonies atmosphere. Please ask if you would like some suggestions for live music options.
Let’s start your wedding the right way
My ceremonies are warm, organised, fresh and involving. My performance is professional and well crafted. When my couples need me to step in and become the organiser and bring everyone together, I'm there. I also intuitively know when you need space. When it comes to the kiss you won't find me in that photo either! That is only about you both, not a celebrant stuck in the middle. You can see me in action in lots of ceremonies on my Facebook page.
“Love is worth celebrating! I’m energetic, open-minded and understand that couples want their marriage ceremony to truly reflect their personalities both as individuals and as a couple. You will receive a personalised, fun, modern and completely unique ceremony. Don’t worry it will also be just the right amount of relaxed. ”
The legals, Paperwork
Paperwork, “I love it” said no one ever. That’s OK, I’ve got it covered and I take care of everything. The first part of the process is called a NOIM. We do that together in my home office. This document will help you understand the legal side a little better. But I'm here to take care of everything.
Your rehearsal, you should have one
I love them! It helps to make sure everything runs smoothly and most people (the groomsmen don’t always listen:) have a clue about what they are doing, where they should stand and when to help you. I want you and your wedding party to be happy and well-informed through the whole process. You are spending a lot of money on this day. Let’s make sure you’re happy from the beginning of the celebration.
Your commemorative Marriage Certificate
Or as I call it “the pretty one” and you will receive it after your ceremony. It goes in with a copy I make of your ceremony and the vows for you to keep. I also help you apply for the official marriage certificate from Birth, Deaths and Marriages. If you want to know about changing to your married name after your wedding then this link will help take the hassle out of that too!
