“Thank you Danielle for making our favourite love story so special! Everyone said your ceremony was perfect, so personal and tailored to us- it was the best ceremony they’ve ever seen!”
Creating Your Ceremony
It’s simple, your ceremony should reflect the two of you and your relationship. Many details contribute to a wonderful ceremony and it’s my role as a Celebrant to not only nut out your vision, but to create the perfect ceremony for YOU, while considering all the finer details which often play a major role in making your big day the best it can be.
Fiona & Mark, Bram Leigh, Croydon.
I’ll guide you through everything from start to finish; rest assured, I’ve got your back and I’ll work hard to ensure YOU are happy :)
I pride myself on designing unique and memorable ceremonies for all my couples and I absolutely LOVE writing and delivering their personalised 'story'. I'm often told this is the highlight of not just the ceremony, but the whole day as it's a way of sharing the couple's journey together, what they love and admire about each other among other things eg. what drives them crazy which is always a lot of fun :) It's extremely rewarding to watch a couple and their guests having a ball throughout the ceremony!
Legalities and Paperwork
I will happily guide you through the process from start to finish to ensure all legal requirements under 'The Marriage Act 1961’ are met.
You must complete the 'Notice of Intended Marriage' (NOIM) form no less than 1 month prior to your wedding (no more than 18 months).
I must legally sight the following documents, at some point prior to your wedding:
A Passport or official birth certificate/extract and photo ID (certified copies are NOT accepted). If your birth certificate is in another language, it must be translated by an accredited translator (from NAATI) and I must sight this document prior to your wedding.
If you have been married previously, I must also sight evidence of your most recent marriage ending eg. divorce or spouse's death certificate.
I want this process to be easy and stress free for you, so if you’re having trouble finding any of these documents, please contact me as early as possible prior to your wedding and I’ll give you some advice on how to obtain what you need :)
