25.01.2022 Something different for your wedding
25.01.2022 The department of births, deaths and marriages will be closed until further notice. So if you’re waiting for certificates of any sort, expect huge delays.
24.01.2022 While in lockdown, try to research how you can make your ceremony individual. There are so many choices on google. But here are a few that I’ve experienced. For starters, you want to design a program (and print it) that is personal to you as a couple. Include fonts you love, fun facts, and also readings and song selections that are special to you. Or... Start the celebration as soon as guests arrive by hosting an hour-long cocktail party before the ceremony. This will give everyone a chance to mingle and ensure that even your school/work mates. Keep it simple by serving just one festive cocktail or champagne. You'll have more time for cocktails later Perhaps Gift your guests with boutonnieres (for the men) and fresh-flower hair clips (for the women). Arrange them on trays near the beginning of the wedding aisle. If your wedding has a distinct theme, wearable favors are a great way to set the mood. Give your guests a light bite as they're waiting. This is a time to serve a favorite dish or give a preview of what's to comewhether that's an Italian-inspired feast or your aunt's world-famous soul food If you're marrying at a cool location like a museum, zoo, or scenic mountaintop, give your guests the option of taking a fun behind-the-scenes tour before your I dos Make guests feel welcome from the moment they arrive by writing them personal notes and leaving them at the ceremony entrance. Something that connects them to you as a couple with their name on an envelope. Have your adorable ring bearer carry your bands on something unique, like a personalized pillow, a memento box, or even a pet to have the wedding bands. I did have a couple include their beagles in their wedding photos. Before the wedding, write a letter to your partnerand they should do the same for you. This could be either read at the ceremony or reception by you, your celebrant or MC at the reception. Or just later when alone. Put a calligraphed runner behind the altaror even on the ground for your walk down the aisle. This is a great place to showcase words that are meaningful to you, whether they're your vows, lyrics from a favorite song, or a verse from a ceremony reading. I’ve actually seen this at a few of the ceremonies I’ve been involved with. Don't wait until the reception for your first dance. Ending your vows cheek to cheek can be really sweet. Or, you can liven the tempo with a fun dance down the aisle. One of my most memorable ceremonies was a couple who had themed their wedding on their favourite live musicals, Wicked. It was like a production. Part of the wording of their story was also written to reflect the show. And of course: A must is to write your own vows

21.01.2022 I got great feedback from this year’s Professional Development. I would like to share it with you all: Best Practice for Australian Celebrants You demonstrate a great understanding of your strengths and weaknesses according to the Code of Practice. Self awareness is a commitment to best practice and you are not alone with the identification of common areas of concern for celebrants.... Celebrant resources review A resources review is always an insightful process and your review demonstrates an awareness of where you have abundance, but also where you can build and expand. Developing an effective wedding kit bag A comprehensive list of things to include in the all essential kit and great identification of potential risks and rectification strategies. How to personalise a ceremony I Really enjoyed reading the ways in which you work with clients to help them help you personalise their ceremony.
21.01.2022 While doing my annual professional development, it is apparent that I’ll be rewriting my hand out material, so if I’ve sent you a pack, let me know if you’ll want the new pack when I’ve prepared it. Also, if you have booked or intent on you wedding being in the first half of 2021, your notice of intention to marry, it might need to be resubmitted or submitted 1 month and one day ahead of your wedding. I will be changing my price structure which will be fairer for your requirements. Same sex weddings that I have officiated at commitment ceremonies is still applicable for the half price wedding fee as promised. This gives you 2 ceremonies for the price of one.
20.01.2022 Happy anniversary Ron and Antony
18.01.2022 Hello all, due to the fact I have been unwell, I arranged for all but 3 weddings I had booked for the first half of this year. So, as I’m almost able, in fact quite able to take bookings for ceremonies, weddings, vow renewals, commitments, namings and funerals. If you could share my page it would be awesome. Thank you
17.01.2022 Wearing the reception, nothing goes to waste

15.01.2022 While we are in a lockdown, it’s perfect timing to plan your wedding. Whether it be small, the limit for now is 5 people. That includes me, to planning your wedding or naming ceremony for the future. You can really start designing everything from your invitations, place cards, cash boxes, flowers, clothing, venue etc. It will give you a light at the end of the tunnel. We will get past this virus isolation period. ... Stay safe. Almost everything can be done online. Even your 5 people wedding or ceremony can be streamed to friends and family, then celebrate after. Funerals allow 10 people. I really wouldn’t consider naming ceremonies for babies during this pandemic. Babies can get this virus. Stay safe
15.01.2022 Finally I can truly say that I’m finally getting to the point where I will now take bookings after April. It’s been a battle to learn how to walk again, and I’m just about to be able to leave walking sticks alone.

13.01.2022 With Covid starting to creep back into Victoria, please be aware that wedding numbers could drop dramatically for January 2021. Fingers crossed and here’s to hoping we are back to zero very quickly. Meanwhile, let’s hope for a happy new year.
12.01.2022 Up to 30 people at a wedding now, so as long as we keep trending well, we should easily up the numbers in coming weeks or months. So you can book your weddings for the second half of this year with some confidence.

10.01.2022 How beautiful for a period wedding. I simply love this dress
09.01.2022 https://www.facebook.com/671222462/posts/10158580065322463/?d=n How perfect for a bride. Nikki has made a couple of pieces for me personally and always highest quality
09.01.2022 https://www.facebook.com/814632541/posts/10159516680942542/ I’ve had a couple of requests to repeat this wedding on here
08.01.2022 When I’m approaching a new client, there are several things I do. 1. I give a folder of what needs to be done. 2. I tell them what I provide ... 3. I tell them the price (no hidden extras unless it’s something out of the ordinary) 4. I advise clients to talk to at least 2 other celebrants. Not always do we connect. It’s important to have the right person. 5. I hand out a questionnaire, so I get a sense of who they are and their story. 6. I’m completely up front, no hidden agendas. 7. Back to price. If it’s over 50 km from my home, I may request fuel costs. 8. I have a PA. But I will not play music. I’m there to do a wedding, that’s what I do. 9. My price includes as many rewrites as required. The PA, a rehearsal, lodging paperwork within 24 hours after the ceremony. 10. It’s their wedding, not mine. Although you can’t get married without the celebrant. 11. Pick an alternative location due to weather. 12. I will discuss and provide what ever advice I can.

07.01.2022 We made the cut in this feature
07.01.2022 This would make an amazing alternative wedding dress
06.01.2022 The primary role of a marriage celebrant, they do more than just performing the wedding ceremony. Here is what do celebrants do and some of the roles wedding celebrants can have on your big day: Helping you with organising your wedding ceremony Taking care of all the legal matters of your wedding Writing your ceremony from the scratch... Provide help with your vows if needed Personalise your ceremony Renewal of your vows A good wedding celebrant in Australia will do their best to make sure you are relaxed, happy and content with your wedding ceremony. That is why a marriage celebrant tries to take some organisational load off the couple’s shoulders. They take care of the legal aspect of the wedding and help make sure everything goes according to the plan.
06.01.2022 Once again, in lockdown with no real end in site, couples aren’t wanting to even book a date in the near future. Even early next year is doubtful. If anyone wants to marry, we are at 5 people only. For level 3. The couple, 2 witnesses, and the celebrant. ... I hope it eases soon
05.01.2022 News on how many can attend weddings in Victoria. 150. That’s up from 15. Well done Victoria
05.01.2022 Something I did. I’m so proud of what these two put themselves through. To Ron and Antony, I love you both. You gave me the honour to marry you legally too
05.01.2022 A beautiful song for a wedding
02.01.2022 This is a great tradition: Sweden and Scotland have versions of this tradition. Before a wedding, the bride's mother gives her daughter a gold coin to put in her right shoe. The bride's father then gives her a silver coin to put in her left shoe. The coins symbolise their wish that the bride will never go without money
02.01.2022 Just in case you want to still get married right now https://www.brides.com/wedding-masks-4845094
01.01.2022 I have zero intention of profiting from weddings, funerals, naming ceremonies etc. I will be covering my costs only until this crisis is over. We need to have positive occasions where we might celebrate with much smaller groups than we may otherwise would have. If you know anyone who wants, is talking about any ceremony, please let them know, I won’t be making a wage from this. Weddings still one months notice by law. Anything else needs only 2 weeks, funerals obviously when required. As by current law, we need to be aware of numbers at the time.
01.01.2022 What a beautiful idea with or without a veil. Everyone deserves a tiara
