Question 1

How would you describe your style as a celebrant?

Accepted Answer

Personal: I will invest time in getting to know you so that you will not feel like a stranger has shown up for one of the biggest days of your lives.

Polished: Presenting to lawyers and clients is part of my role so I am trained in public speaking.

Insert your preference: [playful / professional / passionate / patient] – this is where the bespoke element of my service comes in! You deserve and will get the wedding you always wanted.

Question 2

What is the length of your ceremony?

Accepted Answer

It is totally up to you. Recommended length is 20 minutes to keep the audience engaged.

Question 3

What is required to book you in?

Accepted Answer

A 20% deposit is required to lock in a date with me.

Question 4

What is the minimum notice you require if we want to engage you as our celebrant?

Accepted Answer

At least one month before your wedding date – and this is a legal requirement in Australia (subject to a few exceptions).

Question 5

What is the process once we book you?

Accepted Answer

There are broadly three key activities:

(i) Scoping: getting to know you and completing legal paperwork

(ii) Script-writing: co-designing the script and the ceremony with you

(iii) Co-ordinating: liaising with your key vendors and ceremony participants

These activities are scalable depending on how involved you want to be and how much time we have. I will provide a timeline of key dates and activities after our initial consultation.
