Weddings

I would be honoured to help you create a wedding ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple (whether that is relaxed and easy going, traditional, or a bit whacky and different!) while ensuring that all the legal requirements are met.

Many couples are concerned about preparing and staying within a reasonable wedding budget. In order to accommodate couples looking for different types of ceremonies, I offer two different wedding packages.

Simply Streamlined Package

This package suits couples who wish for a more intimate and fuss free ceremony. I will provide a simple ceremony with the required legal wording, and if desired, you can add some personalised vows.

Included in this package is:

A meeting to discuss your special day and to complete the first of the legal documents
Email correspondence regarding the wording of the ceremony and any other questions you may have
A rehearsal (if desired)
Carrying out the ceremony and completing the legal documentation
Submission of all documents within the legally required timeframes

Totally Tailored Package

Together we can create a ceremony that you’ll be delighted with! You may have many ideas and specific requirements, or may be looking for suggestions. I’m happy to provide as much or as little input as you require.

Included in this package is:

A meeting to discuss your special day and to complete the first of the legal documents
Two additional meetings (as needed) to go over details
Creation of a fully personalised ceremony, including incorporation of readings and special rituals (such as a sand or candle ritual) and involvement of other special people, with as many drafts and changes as you like until it's just right!
Email correspondence regarding the wording of the ceremony and any other questions you may have
A rehearsal (if desired)
Carrying out the ceremony and completing the legal documentation
Submission of all documents within the legally required timeframes
