Useful Information
- To secure your date, a non-refundable deposit of $100 is required. The remaining balance must be paid in full no later than 7 days prior to your ceremony. To make the process easier, I offer flexible payment plans, allowing you to pay in manageable installments. Payments can be made via electronic bank transfer or cash. Bank details will be provided, and receipts will be issued for all transactions.
- A Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) must be lodged with me at least one calendar month before your wedding day. Don’t worry about downloading the form, I’ll provide it during our first meeting. During this meeting, I’ll walk you through the process of completing this important legal document step by step. If either of you has been married before, I’ll need to verify that the previous marriage has legally ended, either with a Court document proving end of marriage or a death certificate of the former spouse.
- I provide a guarantee of complete confidentiality, ensuring that all your personal and ceremony details remain private and secure.
