Frequently asked questions

I became registered in 2019 and married a couple of dear uni friends of mine and never looked back!

It started as a hobby and I thought I would do a couple of weddings a year, but six years and hundreds of gorgeous humans hitched later… it’s now my full time job!

This one’s easy.

Connection.

Connecting with the most gorgeous couples in love who trust me to deliver the day of their dreams.

Oh and the love stories… I will never, ever get tired of the love stories. I’m a sucker for a great ‘meet cute’.

Once I have received your booking fee and your autographs have been popped onto my terms and conditions your date is officially locked in!

You will then instantly receive access to Lovers’ HQ where you will find all the handy resources you need to work with me to create ceremony gold.

Most importantly, you will have access to the Love Story Questionnaire and this is how I get to know all the juicy deets I need to create a super personalised script for you.

I will reach out about 6 months before your big day to schedule in our big NOIM signing and planning sesh which can either be done in person over an amazing cup of coffee at my fave cafe, or we can also do this online if that’s more your thing.

During this meeting we will tick off the first part of the legal process and then we will get stuck into my list of questions and inspo suggestions so we can create a ceremony structure that you love and then off I go to write your love story and create some ceremony magic.

About a month out from the big day I will touch base again to organise a catch up/rehearsal to run through all the logistics.

Then we have the best. day. ever!

The things we MUST include to make this love of yours official are:

Completion of the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) to be witnessed and lodged with me between 18 months and 1 month prior to the big day.

The Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage must be signed by you both as close to the ceremony as possible (either at the rehearsal or just before the ceremony on the day)

During the ceremony you must have the following:

• Celebrant introduces themselves and reads the Monitum (legal definition of marriage in Australia)

• You say the legal vows ‘I call upon the people here present to witness that I (full name) take you (full name) to be my lawful wedded wife/husband/partner”

• We sign three certificates (Official Certificate of Marriage x2) and the Commemorative Marriage Certificate (Form 15) that are also witnessed by your two chosen witnesses (must be over 18)

• Celebrant lodges the paperwork with the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages
