As your experienced marriage celebrant, I’ll guide you through each step, from completing the legal paperwork to designing your dream ceremony, ensuring a smooth, stress-free journey to saying “I Do.” Whether your plans are big or small, formal or relaxed, you’ll find everything you need to know about how to get married in Sydney right here, making your wedding preparations as seamless as possible.

1. Lets Meet!

Lets meet up over a coffee/drink (or Video Call) to chat about your big day and to see if we click! We can start the legal paperwork at this meeting or complete later, as long as its done a  minimum of 4 weeks BEFORE your wedding date! I will explain all 3 stages of legal paperwork to you at our first meeting. 

2. Plan and Paperwork

Once you have locked me in with your deposit, I will send you my “Ceremony Kit”, that will help you make some decisions about your ceremony ie vows, readings etc.
A
pprox. 4-6 weeks before your wedding, I will send you the 1st draft of your ceremony, for your approval/edits.

3. Meet Again

If possible, we will meet up again, approx. 4-6 weeks before your wedding day, or we can have video chat. I will walk you through your ceremony,  step-by-step, minute-by-minute, and I can answer all your questions like: how do we stand for the ceremony; do I hold my flowers the whole time; who holds the rings?

4. Get Married!

Your big day has finally arrived!
I will arrive about 1 hour before the ceremony, with my checklist of things to do and people to meet /brief. All you have to do is turn up looking fabulous and feeling excited; enjoy the ceremony we created together; and then it’s time to celebrate!!
