Weddings
An ever increasing number of couples are turning to civil marriage celebrants to conduct their marriage ceremony for a whole range of reasons. Because marriage is a legal act in Australia all people who perform marriage ceremonies must to be Authorised by the Commonwealth Attorney General's Department.
My aim is to provide a beautiful and memorable ceremony that is enjoyed by the bride and groom and their guests alike.
Because of the legal nature of marriage in Australia there are certain things that by law must be included in the ceremony. These are, however, minimal offering ample opportunity to individualise the ceremony. Talk to me if you would like some further information in relation to your ceremony.
Renewal of Vows
“If I had to choose again, I’d choose you”
A wedding vow renewal ceremony is a ceremony in which a married couple renew or reaffirm their wedding vows. This is a beautiful way of celebrating the continuing love and commitment between the couple.
A vow renewal ceremony can be used to celebrate important anniversaries, or to re-affirm original commitments at any time throughout life. These
vows can be even more touching as they draw upon many years of love and support from within a marriage.
You can commemorate this special occasion any time and any place you like. It can be as elaborate as a grand wedding or as simple as a backyard party.
Perhaps you have been married overseas and wish to conduct a ceremony in Australia?
This ceremony has no legal effect. It is a public statement by a couple of their continuing affection, love and commitment to each other.
The special people in your lives can take part in your ceremony: your children, guests who were at your wedding and particular friends and relatives.
Naming Ceremony
"Your first breath took ours away"
A Naming ceremony is a wonderful celebration of welcome for a new family member in the presence of those who matter most - family and friends.
Naming can be empowering and deeply fulfilling as you bless your child and bestow their name, choose godparents or mentors, honour grandparents, plant a tree, read poetry, sing, feast, and generally celebrate the joy of your child, in your own style.
Certificates are provided for parents and godparents to commemorate the event.
I place a great deal of importance on creating a naming ceremony unique to you - reflecting your values, your personalities, and your dreams for your child. The ceremony can be as elaborate as you wish, and you can have as much input as you wish into its form and content.
A naming ceremony is a wonderful alternative for those without religious convictions to celebrate the birth of a child.
Commitment Ceremonies
Commitment ceremonies mean many different things to different people.
A commitment ceremony is for those couples who have made a commitment to each other and wish to publicly declare their devotion before family and friends without taking the step into a legal marriage, for whatever reason.
A commitment ceremony can look just like a wedding, but with no legalities. Commitment ceremonies range from rituals to bless your relationship, or a big party to celebrate your love.
At the completion of the ceremony you will be presented with a beautiful ‘Certificate of Commitment’, which is suitable for framing, to keep as a memento of your special day.
