Your wedding is about to become more affordable! As a wedding celebrant in Geelong, I offer flexible packages designed to ease the financial pressure of planning your special day.

Perhaps you are thinking of a destination wedding in the future but want all the legal paperwork done in Australia beforehand? All you need is yourselves and 2 witnesses. I'll marry you in minutes! You are also more than welcome to bring along a photographer to capture your special moment. Way more intimate than the registry office!

No witnesses? No problem! I'll arrange them for you. Your ceremony can take place in my cosy home wedding studio, your home, or any location within 20km of Geelong.

"The Simple Ceremony " $545

Also good to know

- To lock in your date, a non-refundable $100 deposit is required. The remaining balance is due in full at least 7 days before your ceremony. You can pay by electronic bank transfer or cash. I’ll send through the bank details, and you’ll receive a receipt for every payment.

 

- A Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) needs to be lodged with me at least one calendar month before your wedding day. No need to download the form, I’ll provide it at our first meeting. I’ll also guide you through completing this important legal document step by step. If either of you has been married before, I’ll just need to see proof that the previous marriage has legally ended, such as a Court document or the former spouse’s death certificate.

 

- Your privacy is really important to me, so all of your personal information and ceremony details will be kept completely confidential and secure.
