Bespoke and personalised weddings 

I'm a big believer that everyone is different and therefore everybody's idea of their wedding day is different.  

Regardless of your style, we can work together to create a ceremony that reflects your personality and makes everyone happy.  It can be as fun, flexible and relaxed as you like (but there is some legal stuff which has to be included) or it can be as organised and formal as a special ops exercise! 

Other weddings... like legals only (We got married in Vegas... baby... ok, not quite!

Okay so maybe the type of ceremony that you're after doesn't fall into the 'traditional' category.  That's okay because I can do that type of ceremony too... and you can even still wear the big dress (if that's your dream!).

Maybe you just want a commitment ceremony or perhaps you were planning a big party and want to surprise your family and friends by including a 'surprise' wedding? (Bearing in mind that certain legalities have to be adhered to) ...

Maybe you just want to do the equivalent of a 'registry office' marriage... Whatever it is, I can do it. 

Renewal of Vows

Maybe you and your partner had such a wonderful wedding the first time around and years later are still madly in love... maybe your family is planning a big celebration of some kind, so you think, what the hell, lets renew our vows and make the celebration even better!

If renewing your vows is something you would like to do, then I'm the celebrant for you :)  We can make things super dooper fun and do the type of ceremony that you maybe didn't get to do the first time!

If this sounds like something you would like to do, then please give me a call or send me a message and we'll start the ball rolling!

Naming Days

A Naming Day ceremony should be a really special occasion that forms part of your special family memories.  Ceremonies usually take place in the family home or a special place and can be as long or short as you like.... and more importantly, as formal or casual as you want!  This day is ALL about what YOU want!

I can give you lots of suggestions on what to include or what type of ceremony might work for you, but ultimately, it's your decision about what you would like to do!  The ceremony can include as many people as you like with participation by guardians or grandparents.  You might even decide to incorporate something special like:

• a time capsule (whereby you ask guests to bring something from today to be stored in the capsule until your child reaches legal age)
• video newsreel (where guests leave a special message which can be looked at later in life at the time of a significant birthday)
• plaster casting of feet and hands, or
• treasure book (guests write down one piece of life advice which your child can reflect on later in life).

Or perhaps you would like to include one of the many other ideas I have.
