Nope! But you can if the church folk allow civil ceremonies. As a civil marriage celebrant, I am not affiliated with any religion so my ceremonies have no reference to god or religion. However, if you want to include religious elements that have meaning to you, I am more than happy to write that into the ceremony or work with a religious elder to present the ceremony.

Costs vary depending on the package type you choose. Your total fee will include your chosen package + travel and other (like chairlift passes etc).

SO MUCH! There are the ‘soft skills’ like warming up your crowd, making everyone feel welcome and at-ease, helping you feel confident and happy and generating happy energy to share. Then there are the harder skills like preparation of all legal stuff, navigating tricky visa or divorce things, writing a kick-arse ceremony and then delivering with panache. There’s the hours of love and care poured into every. single. wedding and there’s a whole lot of boring administrative stuff you don’t want to know about.

The two of you have to be there (obvs) as well as your celebrant and two witnesses – this is a legal requirement. These witnesses need to be 18 years or older. You don’t have to know them or even like them. Heck, we can pull some passers-by off the hiking trail and into your legals. You can have hundreds more guests if you want but you can’t have less than these five key players.

You must be booked and have legal paperwork complete at least one month before your wedding but not more than 18 months before. Most couples are booking their celebrant somewhere between six and 12 months before their wedding.

Heck no! You have very few *must-do* parts of your wedding. I will help you address the legal requirements and everything else really is icing on the cake. You can wear what you like, invite who you want and arrive however you see fit. Moreover, you should do that because it’s your day – do it your way!

A wild wedding is one which bucks tradition and does what it wants. It is usually in the bush/up a mountain/beside a creek/in the snow/on a bike/in a boat. A wild wedding involves a sense of adventure and a yearning for connection and meaning within the wedding ceremony.

Follow this link for the history and origins of elopements. Elopements today aren’t necessarily about running away to get married. They are more about stripping weddings back to their essential elements: love, connection, meaning and fun. They have very few guests and very little fluff.

You can get married pretty much anywhere in Australia. Seriously. Let your imagination run wild!

Here is a link to the legalities of marrying. But for some basic boundaries, it’s two adult people (any sex or gender) who genuinely wish to spend their lives together.
