Hello, lovebirds! I’m simply thrilled to be on this wedding planning journey with you! My heartfelt thank you for choosing me to be your Celebrant!

Planning your wedding ceremony should be one of the most enjoyable parts of your wedding journey, and as your Celebrant with 16 years of experience, I’m here to make it a breeze for you.

Here’s my step-by-step process to work with you both and create your dream ceremony.

Step 1: Signing the Agreement and securing me for your wedding day

Now that you’ve given me the absolute honour of being your Celebrant and have decided to entrust me with your wedding ceremony, the first step is signing our electronic agreement and paying the confirmation fee invoice. These will be emailed to you, so it’s important to check your junk or spam folders, just in case. This step locks in your date and sets the wheels in motion for the exciting journey ahead.

Step 2: The Fun Questionnaire

Next, I’ll email you an electronic questionnaire to fill out together. This is where the magic begins! You'll get to share all the wonderful details about your relationship, your personalities, and your vision for a personal, relaxed, and fun ceremony. Think of it as a mini date where you get to relive your love story with me! Ideally, I would love for you to return your questionnaire to me before we meet again so I can ask additional questions that may arise from your answers.

Step 3: Coffee Date at Montana’s Cafe in Buderim or Zoom call to suit your busy schedule

I’ll email you a link to my calendar where you can choose your most suitable date and time to either meet me at Montana's Cafe in Buderim or on Zoom to sign your Notice of Intended Marriage form and dive into the nitty-gritty details of your ceremony. Your Notice of Intended Marriage form is due one month prior to your wedding date. I will also need to see your original birth certificates (or current passports), current drivers licences and, if applicable, your original certificates of divorce. This meeting is essential for your marriage legalities and tailoring your ceremony to perfection.

Step 4: Drafting Your Ceremony

After our coffee date or zoom call, the ball is in my court as I start writing the first draft of your ceremony before emailing it to you both for review. This is your chance to make any tweaks or changes to ensure it truly reflects your love story. Let’s aim to finalise your ceremony two weeks before your wedding date, giving you plenty of time to feel confident and excited about your big day (it’s also another tick off the wedding to do list!).

Step 5: Writing your Vows and choosing your Music

To add even more personal touches, I’ll email you my comprehensive guide to writing your wedding vows and selecting your ceremony music, including pre-ceremony and post-ceremony tunes. Within the vow guide, you’ll find examples to get you started and some music inspiration to help you choose which songs are best suited to your ceremony soundtrack. Music sets the tone for your ceremony, and your vows are the heart of it, so I’ve done my best to make this as easy as possible for you.

Step 6: Finalising Everything

We’ll work together via email to finalise your vows and ceremony playlist a fortnight before your wedding. This timeframe is so important. This way, you can sit back, relax, and soak up the anticipation of your big day, knowing everything is perfectly in place. And remember, I’m only an email away if you have any questions!
