Congratulations! You have found the one magical person in your life
who you wish to marry…and now you have a wedding to plan. |
 |
| |
The most important part of your special day is the marriage ceremony
which then sets the scene for your entire wedding celebration. |
|
| |
For a meaningful and personal ceremony you will need to choose your
Marriage Celebrant wisely. |
|
| |
As a professional, registered Marriage Celebrant, I believe that there
are two things to look for when deciding who you want to conduct your
marriage ceremony. |
|
| |
*** Choose a celebrant with whom you feel very comfortable; |
 |
one who you can talk with easily; |
|
one who you can ask any question; |
|
one who will give you time, by ‘phone or email or fax; |
|
one who cares about you and your ceremony; |
|
one who will help you to enjoy the process of planning your ceremony|
as much as helping you to enjoy the day. |
| |
| |
As your Marriage Celebrant, I offer you all of these qualities! |
| |
| |
***Choose a celebrant who gives you ultimate choice in your ceremony. |
| |
| |
Choices include: |
|
a personal ceremony about you as a couple. |
|
your own Askings |
|
your own marriage Vows. |
|
your own wording for exchanging wedding rings. |
|
your own selection of readings, music, style of your ceremony
(that is, ribbon ceremonies or candle-lighting, or other symbolism.) |
|
| |
Also ask your celebrant: |
| |
|
|
if you can be given guidance in composing your Vows etc. |
|
to explain the legal requirements for your marriage. |
|
if you have a rehearsal before your wedding day. |
|
if your celebrant provides a Public Address system. |
| |
| |
As your Marriage Celebrant, I offer you all of these services! |
| |
| |
I invite you to phone, to check on my availability and to briefly discuss
your thoughts for your ceremony.
Email inquiries are welcome too! |
|
| |
What happens then? |
|
| |
You are invited to meet with me, no obligation, to discuss ideas that
can be woven into the ceremony of your choice. |
|
| |
At our first meeting, we talk about what happens between then and your
wedding day…how many times we meet… how much help I can give you…
where you have a rehearsal…what are the legal requirements so that
your marriage is legally registered…and what else you should know. |
|
| |
Do not feel overwhelmed! Creating your ceremony of choice is really
a simple process when you are guided by a caring and professional celebrant. |
