Feeling Giddy
$700
Do you have a friend or family member who you think would be a great celebrant - but they are not qualified? With my guidance, you can have a person of your choosing run the majority of your ceremony! I will do all legal work, come to your event and complete the official requirements, and let your chosen person do the rest!
​
What to Expect:
Before:
First Meeting (Narangba, or Virtually).
If you like, you can bring along with your chosen Master of Ceremony.
This will be approximately an hour, during this time we will:
-
Complete and lodge the Notice of Intended Marriage
-
Confirm venue details
-
Discuss my role on the day, and your MC's role
I will provide your MC with a detailed template to use whilst planning your ceremony - to provide structure and ensure our respective parts run smoothly. They don't have to use this - but it is a good starting point to create a basic outline of how the day will run.
​
Prior to the event, your MC will email me a copy of their script.
I will review, and provide help and advice where needed for up to three drafts.
​
Rehearsal: Upon request, I can provide an additional quote to attend your rehearsal - to provide guidance and support..
​
The final ceremony will be sent to me - to confirm all legal requirements are accounted for, and I will bring along a copy on the day.
​
Day of Event
-
I will arrive to the event 30 minutes prior to commencement.
-
I will meet with you both individually to confirm neither of you are being coerced or forced into a marriage. You will then sign the Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage, and I will sign as your witness.
-
I will introduce myself, share any housekeeping you like, and deliver the "Monitum" - legally required to be recited by a registered celebrant. This outlines the legally binding nature of marriage in accordance with Australian Law.
-
I can then handover to your chosen person - who will use their experience as your loved one to deliver a wonderful ceremony!
-
Legal Vows must be said by you. It is important these are said word for word - so if you would like, I can assist by using a "repeat after me" style.
-
We will sign your Marriage Certificates.
-
I will register your marriage within 24 hours.
​
Travel within 50km from 4504 is included. If travel to and from your venue is more than a 100km round trip, this will incur additional fee of $1 per km.
​
If you're confident that your chosen person can write the entire ceremony without any input from me, you've already got your music sorted, and you don’t need my PA, another option to consider is a ‘Legals Only’ wedding. In this case, I can take care of the official requirements either on the morning of your event or even on a separate day entirely.
