I arrive at least 30 minutes before the ceremony start time. That gives me time to set up the audio system, place the signing table, sync with the photographer about timing, talk through any walk-in cues with your wedding party, and quietly orient your early-arriving guests. By the time the ceremony starts I know where everyone is and what the order looks like.
The ceremony itself runs 20 to 30 minutes. I welcome everyone, do the housekeeping (phones, photos, where the reception is heading), walk through what's going to happen, then we move into the ceremony proper: your story, vows, ring exchange, signing, the legal bits, and the announcement. I always say to plan a full hour for the ceremony slot in your schedule though, because the signing and the first round of photos eat into the time more than you'd think.
After the announcement I stay back for a bit. Sometimes that's photo support, sometimes it's helping the bridal party coordinate transport to the reception, sometimes it's just being a calm presence while everyone hugs everyone. I usually leave unnoticed once guests are on their way. You won't have to manage me out the door.
I write every ceremony from scratch. No templates, no recycled bits from someone else's wedding.
Home is Casuarina, so most of my weddings are on the Tweed Coast and southern Gold Coast. I also love travelling further afield to Byron Bay, the Gold Coast Hinterland, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. For locations outside my local zone I do charge a small per-kilometre travel fee, always included in the quote beforehand.
Australian law needs the marriage registered with Births, Deaths and Marriages within 14 days. I handle the lodgement and let you know once it's done, usually 2-3 weeks after the ceremony. If you'd like the official BDM certificate (the one used for visas and name changes), I can lodge that for you too. Small extra fee, or you can apply yourself online.
20 to 30 minutes for the ceremony itself. I always say to plan a full hour in your schedule though, so there's room for the signing, photos and everyone settling in.
Yes, included at no extra charge. I bring a professional battery-powered audio system (Electro-Voice Everse 8 speaker) and a wireless handheld mic (Shure), set it up before guests arrive, and pack it down after. Beach ceremonies, outdoor venues with more than 30 guests, and anywhere with wind or background noise really need one, and every Personalised Ceremony booking has it as standard.
From $990. Travel is included across my local zone, from the southern Gold Coast (Burleigh, Robina, Mudgeeraba) down through the Tweed Coast to Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads. For weddings further afield (northern Gold Coast, Hinterland, Byron Bay, Brisbane, Northern Rivers), travel is $1 per kilometre round trip.
I send you a prompt sheet a few weeks out, then we talk through your draft. If you'd like me to refine or rewrite it, I happily do. The goal is vows that feel like yours but read well out loud.
Both ceremonies are personalised throughout: welcome, vows guidance, ring wording, and outro all shaped around you two. The Personalised Ceremony (from $990) covers everything you need for a beautifully written, warmly delivered wedding. The Love Story Ceremony (from $1,350) adds the deep-dive: a 6-8 weeks-out story session where I learn how you met, your inside jokes, and the moments that matter, then I write a fully personalised love story woven into the ceremony, plus your ring vows. The love story is the difference.
Yes, often. I do plenty of Personalised Ceremonies in Brisbane and the surrounds. There's a small travel fee for Brisbane (quoted upfront based on your venue), but it's a regular part of my coverage area, not a special occasion.
Send me your date, venue and rough guest count. I'll come back with availability and the next steps.
