I have been a registered Authorised Civil Marriage Celebrant since January 2020 and have loved every second of it! I have hitched almost 500 happy humans (just check out my Google reviews), so hopefully this gives you a bit of confidence that I know exactly what I am doing, and am just as invested in your big day as you are.

Quite a bit, but leave that all to me. I am a registered Authorised Civil Marriage Celebrant with the Australian Attorney Generals Department and able solemnise marriages according to law. If you are intending to legally get hitched in Australia, there are some requirements that must be completed and I will support you throughout this process. It commences with the Notice of Intended Marriage. This must be completed and provided to me at least one month prior to your ceremony (and no more than 18 months before the ceremony). I usually do this face-to-face, but if you are not located in Perth there are options to do this remotely and I will explain how you can do this on an individual basis. You’ll need two forms of identification each; a primary form showing your birth date and place of birth (usually a birth certificate or passport) and secondary form (usually a proof of age card or driver's license). Dependant on your personal circumstances, I may also request additional supporting documentation. If either party has been married previously I will be required to sight the divorce paper or death certificate. Before the ceremony you will also need to sign the Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage to declare that there is no legal reason why you should not be married. During your ceremony The Monitum must be read by me, and you must sign your Official Certificate of Marriage and Form 15 (Commemorative Certificate) in the presence of two witnesses over the age of 18. After the Ceremony I will lodge all legal paperwork to the Registering Authority.

I am unable to provide you with any immigration advice, but can recommend excellent immigration agents who can assist you with your enquiries. Should you require a letter of support from me for immigration purposes, this is something that I can provide to you once you have booked me to be your celebrant.

Really natural, light hearted, conversational, inclusive and vibrant celebrations are my style (and what I’m best at). I’m not a stand-up comic, but I’m not overly traditional or completely formal either. I’m somewhere perfectly placed in the middle. But my approach to a ceremony is always influenced on what my couple are looking for – because it is about YOU!

It all depends on the type of ceremony you lock in... For full service weddings: Approximately 20-30 minutes For micro-weddings: Approximately 5-15 minutes And for registry-style weddings: Approximately 5 minutes (or less!)

Anything that you want it to be! (Within reason). So long as the legal components are included, the whole structure is fair game. The ULTIMATE way to get married.

A short and sweet micro-wedding ceremony will get you legally married, in a relaxed setting, and in a much more personal way than at the registry office! Perfect for couples who want a more intimate experience, at a more affordable price point, but don't want to sacrifice too much. The general structure of a micro-wedding ceremony service includes: Welcome Acknowledgements The Monitum Legal vows (and the addition of personal vows, if you wish) Ring exchange (if you wish) Declaration Sign all marriage documents

A registry-style ceremony will get you legally married in minutes, including only the components that meet the mandatory legal requirements for marriage ceremonies in Australia - but in a location of your choice, and at a time that suits you (not the marriage office!). Perfect for couples who want to get married now and party later, just want to change their name, are applying for a prospective marriage visa, or are "getting married" overseas, but need to do it officially in Australia first (Bali, anyone?!). The general structure includes: Welcome The Monitum Legal vows Declaration This will take approximately 3 minutes. After that, you sign the paperwork, and you are legally married!

After we’ve had an obligation-free virtual meeting, I leave it to the two of you to discuss whether I am the right fit for your day. Although that said, most couples do book me at the first meeting as they already know a bit about me, have stalked me on social media or seen my Google reviews. If you decide that I am the right celebrant for you, we will have two more meetings*. One will be a face-to-face planning meeting where we will lodge the first piece of legal documentation (the Notice of Intended Marriage) and collaborate on the specifics of your ceremony and celebrations. The second will be a virtual rehearsal within 10 days of your wedding date (but if you’d like to move this to on-site, I can provide you with that option too!). In addition, I'll be in touch throughout the process so you’ll never feel like I am M.I.A - from woe to go, I’m always available for you. *This excludes the micro-wedding service, and registry-style service, where we will just have just one virtual meeting.

Yes, pretty much! However, there are a couple of exceptions to the rule. As my services are of an incredibly high standard, there are some venues and locations that I cannot deliver the type of ceremonies that I am known for. (But if this applies to you, I'll let you know).

Online? Yes! Face-to-face? Not routinely. I offer virtual rehearsals, which work a treat! And you can invite family and friends to join in, if you wish. I truly believe that weddings should not be a coordinated stage show. You should have a general idea of the steps, but let it unfold naturally. It is my job to make you feel supported, comfortable and create a space where you will enjoy yourself, and I can confidently prepare you online. However, I know how important it is to ease nerves and feel certain, so if you’d like to do this on site, I can absolutely make it happen at an additional fee.

Oh, the Love Gang Login! What an AWESOME resource to get access to! It is a couples-only section of my website that you get access to when you lock me in. It will be your ceremony encyclopaedia. It is a whole website in itself, with comprehensive information, inspiration and a break down of everything you need to know (including ideas for vows, ceremony structure and other unique touches you might like to include).

Good question! But my creative process is SO different with every couple. But as a summary... Once we book your date you’ll gain access to the “Love Gang Login” section of my website. This section includes a comprehensive information and inspiration page, which breaks down everything you need to know (including ideas for vows, ceremony structure and other unique touches you might like to include). Here, you’ll find a questionnaire that you and your partner will both have to answer separately, in secret, and send back to me. I use your responses, the conflicting stories and juicy pieces of gold, to write your ceremony. In saying that, I also pick up on your personality traits when we meet online and in-person. We end up “falling in love with each other” throughout the lead-up. So you never know when I will take note of something funny you said that I can use as content - watch out!

Nope! And for good reason! I don’t provide full drafts of your ceremony in advance – only a sneak peek to give you an idea of the tone. But this is VERY intentional. I want you to have some genuine surprises on the day, and be completely in the moment. But trust me, I know what I am doing and you will LOVE the element of surprise.

Yes! With multiple speakers and it is AWESOME! Please don’t underestimate how much crappy technology can ruin your experience. My microphone and PA system is completely wireless (so it looks great in photographs) and I have a comprehensive backup system should technology not cooperate on the day. I got you!

Unfortunately, no – I only have two hands! But you can absolutely play your pre-recorded music choices through my PA system. You simply download your ceremony music onto a device with a jack input and/or Bluetooth capability, pick a trusted family member or friend, and have them introduce themselves to me on the day. I’ll give them a run down on how it all works on the day, but it is very simple.

I am so lucky to be a part of a network of highly respected Celebrants in Western Australia that I will call upon to step in on my behalf. These people are seriously great humans who I would absolutely trust to do your day justice. I’ll do all of the work for you, so it causes the least amount of inconvenience possible.

You may cancel or postpone your booking at any time, you'll just need to let me know in writing ASAP. For cancellations: - Where you wish to cancel prior to 6 months; your booking fee is forfeited. - Where you wish to cancel less than 6 months, and before 42 days; your booking fee and part payment fee is forfeited/due. - Where you wish to cancel less than 42 days, 100% of the total service price is forfeited/due. For postponements: - Where you wish to postpone prior to 6 months; your booking fee is forfeited. A new booking fee will be due. - Where you wish to postpone less than 6 months, and before 42 days; your booking fee and part payment fee is forfeited/due. A new booking fee will be due. - Where you wish to postpone less than 42 days, no postponements will be allowed. 100% of the total service price is forfeited/due. For postponements, the date must be mutually agreeable (and I will do my best to do so). It is also important to note that you are only able to postpone your booking once, and the postponement date must be within 12 months of the original booking date. For more detail, please get in touch and I can provide you with my full service agreement.

Once you decide that I am your girl, the following fee schedule will apply: - A booking fee due within 7 days. - A part payment 6 months prior to your event. - The remainder of the total amount (final payment) due 42 days before the event. Exact payment figures and dates will be shown on your quote/invoice. If you’d like to setup a payment plan outside of this structure, it is not a problem at all! Please do not hesitate to ask and I will set up something for you.

Depending on your circumstances, you may need to include space in your budget for things like; an on-site rehearsal, travel expenses, accommodation, public holiday surcharges, music coordination, additional technology rental or supporting documentation fees. If you think this might apply to you, let me know and I can include it in your quote. And if I think you’ll need one of these additional services, I will let you know right away!

You'll need to get in touch and see if I'm available on your date first. I'll then send you through a quote, where you'll also find my full terms and conditions.
