Services I Offer
As a Civil Marriage Celebrant, I write and conduct a wide range of
ceremonies, weddings, ceremonies to re-affirm vows to each other, commitment ceremonies, naming
of newborns and children and spiritual ceremonies and blessings
I have a range of ceremonies from which you can get inspiration as
well as readings, poetry and music suggestions.
Marriage Ceremonies
All ceremonies have a structure:
- The Introduction should welcome your guests and contextualise why
you have gathered everyone to witness your intentions to be joined
together in marriage.
- The centre of the service has promises, vows and the exchange of
rings.
- The conclusion of the ceremony confirms what has occurred and the
formal documents are signed by you and your two witnesses. The bride and
groom now seal the ceremony with a kiss.
- Many couples choose a simple but meaningful ceremony and often
include poetry, prose, music and songs: all elements that can be built
into ceremonies to personalise them to create a unique occasion.
Commitment Ceremonies
Although same sex marriage is not as yet legal in Australia, many couples like to show their commitment to one another with a special ceremony to affirm their feelings and dedication to one another.
Naming Ceremonies
Naming Ceremonies are usually simple but meaningful ceremonies that
formally introduce the child into the family. A certificate is presented
to commemorate the occasion.
Planning Ceremonies
I can give you helpful advice about venues, flowers etc - and
weather!
