Do you have a question?

Yes I am! I’m a Commonwealth-registered marriage celebrant authorised to legally marry couples anywhere in Australia. I’m fully trained, insured, and absolutely love what I do. If you feel you need to check you can do so online here 

As soon as you have a date in mind! Popular months (especially spring and autumn) book quickly, so the earlier the better—ideally 6–12 months out. That said, I’ll always do my best to accommodate short notice ceremonies too. 

You must lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) at least one month before your wedding.

We'll meet to complete the paperwork, verify your identity documents (passport or birth certificate), and confirm you meet the legal requirements—being 18 or older, not already married, and both giving consent.

Yes, this is $350.

The booking fee is non-refundable and is required to secure my services and confirm your ceremony date. This fee ensures my availability and covers initial planning and administrative costs.

The balance is payable 4 weeks prior to your ceremony.

Yes.

Travel is included for ceremonies within 80km of Newcastle, NSW. Additional travel fees apply for ceremonies outside this area and will be discussed at the time of booking.

If a flight, accommodation, or rental car is needed, I simply ask for those expenses to be covered. I don’t charge extra for destination weddings—just the necessary travel costs.

Absolutely—and I encourage it! Your vows are the heart of the ceremony. If you’d like help getting started or want me to review them for flow or length, I’m more than happy to help.

On the day, you’ll sign a commemorative certificate. I’ll then register your marriage with Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM) in your state. I'll then apply for the official certificate through BDM, and that will get sent to you - at no cost.

Most wedding ceremonies are between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the content and any personal touches you choose to include. Elopements and registry-style ceremonies are usually shorter—around 10 to 15 minutes.

I have a network of trusted celebrants who can step in if the unexpected occurs. Your day will still be wonderful—no matter what.

Any monies paid will be transferred to the new celebrant.

I love a good surprise! We need to make sure the NOIM (Notice Of Intended Marriage) is lodged at least one month before the date. I’ll help you keep everything under wraps while still ensuring everything is legal and seamless.

More than 4 weeks before the ceremony: The deposit is non-refundable, but any additional payments made will be refunded.

Within 4 weeks of the ceremony: The deposit is non-refundable, and 50% of the total fee will be retained to cover preparation costs.

Within 48 hours of the ceremony: No refunds will be issued, as preparations and commitments have already been made.
