Let's bust a Myth or 5!

Q: Can we include special rituals or traditions in our ceremony?
A: Absolutely! Whether it’s something traditional or something uniquely yours, I’m here to help incorporate meaningful elements that resonate with you.

Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Most couples book 6–12 months in advance, but if your wedding date is sooner, don’t hesitate to reach out—I may have availability!

Q: Do you travel for weddings?
A: Yes! I’m based near Redcliffe but love traveling to beautiful venues across the region (and beyond!). Enquire for the brochure that lists my prices by region, or a personal quote for a destination wedding outside of those listed.

Q: What if we’re not sure what we want in our ceremony?
A: That’s where I come in. Together, we’ll explore your story, values, and vision, and I’ll guide you with suggestions to create a ceremony that feels just right. I have a ton of ideas and know what works and what kinda doesn’t.

Q: Is a rehearsal necessary?
A: For the most part, not really. We’ll be so clued in about what’s going to happen on the day that unless there’s a large wedding party or elaborate rituals it’s a bit of overkill. However, if anyone is entering to music for the love of all that is holy matrimony please practice walking slowly in time to your music.

Q: Do you organize our ceremony music?
A: Yep. I Bluetooth it to my PA system and press play at just the right moment.

Q: Are there any hidden costs?
A: None at all. Your investment includes everything—ceremony creation, delivery, rehearsal (if required), and even the official marriage certificate.

Q: What happens if unforeseen circumstances arise on the day?
A: Life happens! I’m prepared to adapt and virtually unflappable. Ask me about the forgotten wedding rings or the unexpected dove release when we meet up. If anything happens to me, I’ve got you covered by a trusted colleague to match your vibe.

Q: What if we want a friend to delivery our ceremony?

A: This one I call a "Tandem Jump" because your officiant and I are in it together and I'm the one with experience. Some celebrants won't do these because there's actually quite a bit of work involved, but I've created an eBook that explains everything you and your chosen host need to know, making it a breeze.

9 Things that are NOT compulsory at your wedding.

I recently conducted a survey of newly engaged couples and was disappointed, surprised, and a bit cross with, not just the wedding industry, but the popular media to discover what couples thought they had to include whether they wanted to or not!

​​

  • Getting a marriage license

  • Having someone "give you away"

  • Exchanging wedding rings

  • The Asking - the bit where you answer "I do"

  • Reading long vows out loud

  • Asking if anyone objects

  • Signing the register in the middle of the ceremony

  • Officially declaring the couple married

  • The first kiss

​You need to understand just how flexible the process can be.

​

What is compulsory (in this order) is

​

  • A legal paragraph the celebrant has to say before you make your legal vow.

  • One simple sentence you have to say out loud - and if reading is a problem (if you don't want to put on your glasses) that can be done "repeat after me" AND

  • While we do have to sign paperwork it can be done afterwards

​

Everything else is subject to your own desire. Everything.
