Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process? How does this work?

Step 1. Initial contact - you’re looking for a celebrant, let me tell you about my style and services and we can lock things in from there.

Step 2. Let's catch up - over a coffee or a cocktail we can talk about your wedding vision and how we can make that a reality. I’ll get to know you both and your love story, and we can start planning.

Step 3. Paperwork - we will complete the legal paperwork in the months leading up to the wedding, it's not scary at all and we can do it together.

Step 4. Ceremony creation - I will draft a ceremony for you to look at, and we can customise it together to make sure its perfect.

Step 5. Rehearsal - let's walk through everything so we all feel prepared and comfortable.

Step 6. Your special day - I will be there early to set up, your ceremony will be a hit, we can sign some papers, and you can ride off into the sunset - or onto the dance floor!

Do you offer elopement packages?

Yes, I have different packages for micro weddings, elopements, legals only and full custom ceremonies.

Do you offer any other ceremonies other than weddings?

I sure do! I would love to be a part of your vow renewal, commitment ceremony, or naming ceremony. If there are any other special moments you’d like to commemorate let me know.

How much do you charge for travel?

For NSW and QLD weddings, travel is included within 50km from Kingscliff, with additional travel at $1 per kilometer. For SA weddings, we can have a chat.


Do you require a deposit?

Yes, a 50% non refundable deposit is required to secure your date, with the balance to be paid no later than 7 days before your special day.


Where are you based? Are you open to traveling?

I am currently based in the Northern Rivers NSW, nestled between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. I travel frequently from Brisbane to Ballina and beyond. I also still conduct weddings back in South Australia on select dates. Please don’t hesitate to enquire and let me know where you are planning on saying ‘I do,’ love knows no geographical bounds and neither do I.

What time will you arrive on the day?

I will arrive 60 minutes before your ceremony to set up my equipment and do a sound check. This will ensure I am ready to give directions to guests when they arrive and be on site ready to check in with you and your partner beforehand.

What equipment do we need to provide for you?

Nothing at all. My PA is battery operated, meaning it does not have to be plugged into a powerpoint, and often you or the venue will organise a signing table and chairs if you wish to have them. If this isn't the case let me know and we can have a chat.

What will you wear on the day? Can you dress to suit our colours/theme?

I want your day to be beautiful, if you have a colour scheme or theme I will stick to that. There is nothing worse than someone standing out in your photos that shouldn't, so please let me know what direction you are going in and I can dress accordingly.
