What is included:
Initial discussion
This is where we check your legal eligibility to marry and confirm my availability for your selected date.
Meeting
We can meet on Teams or in person. During this meeting I will site your ID (as required) and complete the Notice of Intended Marriage for your signature. This is required to be signed at least one month before the ceremony.
If you are outside of Australia, you will need to arrange an appropriately qualified witness to witness your signature. I can only witness your signatures if you are present in Australia (even if by Zoom or Teams). At least one party must sign the Notice of Intended Marriage at least one month prior to the ceremony, and no longer than 18 months before.
Planning
I’ll help you with ideas and inspiration, and start writing your ceremony.
Draft
I’ll share a draft and work with you to refine until you’re happy.
Rehearsal
A rehearsal is held to make sure everyone is feeling relaxed and prepared for the big day.
The day
I arrive about 45 minutes before the ceremony to set up.
You will need two witnesses over the age of 18 to witness the ceremony.
After your special day
I will lodge the legal paperwork with the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

My price includes travel within 50 km (100 km round trip) from Maleny. For further travel, a cost of $1/km will apply.
