Question 2

How quickly can we be married?

Accepted Answer

You need to provide your celebrant a Notice of Intended Marriage between 1 and 18 months before your wedding day.   I will need ONE MONTH notice.   In some cases a shortening of this time may be granted, however this can not be guaranteed and should be avoided if possible

Question 3

When should I book a Celebrant?

Accepted Answer

A celebrant needs at least ONE MONTH NOTICE so a good rule of thumb is to book a celebrant once you have confirmed your date, time and venue.   Also keep in mind Celebrants do get booked very quickly so the earlier you book the better :)

Question 7

How much will my ceremony cost?

Accepted Answer

As all ceremonies are unique, I do not believe in a one size fits all approach when it comes to pricing. I quote on based on the individual needs of the client and work out a price that is best suited for each occasion.   All costs are factored into my quote, there will not be any hidden costs or nasty suprises.   I find I am not the cheapest or the most expensive celebrant but I do pride myself on giving the best possible service.

Will you travel?
