Are you able to perform same-sex marriages?
Yes! As of 9 December 2017, Australian marriage celebrants are allowed to marry all consenting adults who wish to.
I am so thrilled that I am able to help all couples legally recognise their relationships
We want to get married next week...
Legally, in Australia, you need to have completed a Notice of Intended Marriage Form at least one month before the wedding date. If you want to get married in a shorter period of time than one month, an application must be made to a prescribed authority under specific circumstances. There is more information on the Attorney General's website.
I have so many other questions!
Of course you do! There is a lot that goes into planning a wedding! I will help field as many as I can. Let's chat.
Popping the question(s)
I have lots of ideas! Can we include our dogs? Will you dress up?
Every wedding is unique so if you have interesting ideas that you would like to incorporate - don't be shy, let's talk about them. I am pretty open to most ideas and if it is something that I don't think will work, I will be honest about that.
Did I see you on TV?
*Blush* Well, yes, you may have! One of my couples was an inspirational, fabulous couple featured on Channel 9's "This Time Next Year". Rhiannon's amazing commitment was to get out of her wheelchair and walk down the aisle to marry her high school sweetheart. I was honoured to be a part of it and can't believe that they put my big head on TV! See link below for more information on this wonderful story: https://youtu.be/V3LXmJ534cQ
