Wedding Celebrant Val Haydon - Your Perfect Wedding Day
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!
