Ceremony Preparation
I provide the opportunity to create a more personalised and unique ceremony that is specifically yours. One that is relevant and meaningful for you. It may include rituals and ceremonies that hold special significance. You may include cultural elements that are of importance. Or you may wish to choose a simple but beautiful ceremony.
A wedding ceremony needs to depict the essence of what is important to you as a couple. No two marriage ceremonies are the same. Some prefer a simple style of ceremony, whilst others prefer ceremonies that reflect their cultural and spiritual backgrounds. Significant symbols and rituals may also be incorporated. I help you create a marriage ceremony that fulfils your needs.
Couples are provided with an outline of the ceremony structure. You will view an extensive choice of ceremonies. Guidance and support will be given in the creation of your own.
At the end of the ceremony you will receive a presentation folder containing a copy of your ceremony and a copy of your Certificate of Marriage. A professional approach is paramount to the smooth running of the ceremony. Presentation, content and articulation make the world of difference to a positive, memorable outcome.

Marriage Rehearsals
Rehearsals are an optional service. Some couples prefer a rehearsal at the actual venue, which incurs extra cost, but most couples choose to go through a running plan where details of standing positions and ceremony structure are drawn up and discussed.
Members of the bridal party are clearly informed on where and when they are required to fulfil their particular roles in the service. These details will be discussed one week prior to the ceremony.
Costs
As there are so many variables associated with a wedding ceremony please contact me to discuss your needs . It is an obligation free quote.
Wedding Music Preparation
Music enhances the Wedding Ceremony. Your choice is decided by cost or convenience.
Often it is left for a relative or friend often at the last minute to run the music.
That person often has no knowledge;
- Of the wedding ceremony order of service.
- How to use the device to play the music.
- Unfamiliarity of the device.
- Little or no instruction on what music to play when.
- The person also suffers from stress and anxiety of the task given to them.
Music is very important to the wedding as it enhances the service, but too often it is considered as an after thought.
When you speak to me I have an excellent research to help you with this overlooked component of your wedding. If you are using live music or a professional DJ, it is still important that they understand your music choices for the various parts of the service.

Also, married couples who wish to proclaim their love commitment to one another choose to renew their vows. Many couples have stated that it strengthens their relationship and their resolve to remain connected.
