Affordable Weddings: Time to book your Celebrant!
It would be my privilege to provide my services on your Wedding Day. I am an authorised marriage celebrant and I am committed to ensuring your ceremony is unique to you as a couple, and to ensure this day will become a cherished memory into the future. A full extravaganza for 500, a stylish ceremony for a few, a romantic elopement for two? Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Hunter Valley vineyards, Port Stephens or Central Coast beaches, waterfront on a cliff top next to a lighthouse. This is the place for your perfect local or destination wedding.
The Ceremony:
Your ceremony should reflect who you are as a couple. It can be as long or short as you like, it can be formal, semi formal, private or casual; this is your special day, let's make it amazing together. There are many different options for ceremonies to celebrate your marriage; you can opt for traditional, modern, classic or a special theme the choice is yours.
As your celebrant I will work with you to design a ceremony that reflects your life and your relationship. There are also different rituals that can be incorporated into your service, symbolising your union ie: sand ceremony to signify the blending of lives and family's, a wedding ring warming ritual, my favourite the hand fastening and many others that I can provide guidance on.
The Venue:
The benefit of selecting a Marriage Celebrant for your wedding is that you are not restricted to where your wedding can take place. Weddings can take place anywhere, anytime 24/7 365 days a year. You may choose to have your ceremony at a chapel, in a park, at the beach, on a farm, in your own back yard, lakeside, in the vineyards or many other beautiful locations. Whatever the venue I will ensure your ceremony is perfect for this location. I can also provide a list of beautiful venues for the perfect local or perfect destination wedding for your ceremony.
