Marriage Celebrant Brisbane

Congratulations on your engagement!!

Are you planning your wedding ceremony but don’t know where to start?

Are you looking for a Brisbane marriage celebrant who will listen to your ideas and make creating your ceremony a simple and stress free process?
​
Are you looking for a wedding celebrant who is caring, experienced and professional? ​

Let me help you create the wedding ceremony of your dreams!

​As a Commonwealth appointed civil marriage celebrant, I will help you design a wedding ceremony that is unique and special to you.  

​I will guide you through the many different aspects of your ceremony to create something as personal and individual as you are.

Hi Elizabeth,

We just wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful ceremony yesterday.  It was everything we wanted...sincere, personal and relaxed.

So many people complimented on how warm you were and how beautiful it was. They especially liked the way you told our story.  We went on to have an incredible night and will remember this day fondly forever.  

​Thank you again for playing a special role in making our day unforgettable.

​You will receive a totally free no-obligation first meeting so you can meet with me and see if I’m the right celebrant for you.  Whether you already have a clear vision of your wedding ceremony or have absolutely no idea where to start, the whole process of getting married will be discussed and all your legal requirements carefully explained.

Your first step is to complete your Notice of Intended Marriage form.  This must be received by your celebrant at least one month before your wedding date to activate your compulsory waiting period.   At this meeting you will also need your original identification documents such as birth certificates, passports, divorce certificates etc (see Legal Requirements).

Hello Elizabeth,
 
We felt so grateful to you for the part you played on our wedding day and we wanted to just thank you again for helping to make our day so wonderful. We felt that you gave us a great deal of comfort and support in the lead up to the wedding, as well as a great ceremony, and we wanted to let you know how much this was appreciated. Thank you so much for all that you did for us and we hope that 2017 has been a lovely year for you so far.
 
With warmest wishes,

Now we come to the fun part – your ceremony!  Apart from the legal requirements, this can be as simple or as personalised as you wish.  My aim is to make this as easy and stress free as possible for you.

From an emailed questionnaire which you can answer in your own time, I will create your first ceremony draft, which will be emailed back to you to edit to your heart’s content.  Of course you are also free to choose from a simple pre-written ceremony, or write your own.

Hi Elizabeth,

Dale and I are now back from our honeymoon and before we head back to 'reality' on Monday I just wanted to send through a big thank-you for your help last Friday 23 May.

Dale and I are still beaming at how well things ran last Friday (with the very, very lucky last realisation about the rings!!!) and you played a big role in that... I'm so glad that we both weren't sobbing throughout the ceremony so we could really take in the words of the ceremony and enjoy it.

I appreciate you talking through with Dale in those last few minutes to help calm his nerves and do short run throughs and we really appreciate how comfortable and at ease you made us both feel - it was such a wonderful afternoon!

I have attached a few pics of what we have seen to date. Thank-you so much for all your help, your meetings and your correspondence made it a very smooth and relaxed way to organise one of the most important parts of the whole day.

Regards
Caitlin and Dale

About a week or so before your wedding, we’ll meet up again at my home office to finalise your paperwork, sign your declarations and have a run through of your ceremony.  If you would like an on-site rehearsal instead, this can easily be arranged for a small extra fee.
​
After your ceremony is completed, I will quietly pack up while you are being congratulated by family and friends and say goodbye before you leave to have your professional photographs taken.  All your marriage paperwork will then be swiftly forwarded to Births, Deaths and Marriages to register your marriage. ​

​We cannot thank you enough for all you have done in the lead up to our big day, and especially on the day of our wedding.

​All of our guests commented on how delightfully you conducted the Civil Ceremony, particularly our Vietnamese guests who were extremely impressed with how you were able to greet them in their native tongue!  We are looking forward to seeing everyone's reaction again when the wedding DVD becomes available!

Thank you for being able to work around our busy schedules in the lead up to the wedding and for going out of your way to see us after work hours.

Thank you for your diligence and taking us through the legal documentation and also for arranging for the documentation to be filed with the BDM Registry so efficiently. 

​Married life is great, not because we are in our "honeymoon stage", but because we just have a lot more respect for each other now (it must have something to do with the vows!)

It's not easy in this day and age to come across someone who is able to do what they do with the utmost professionalism, but also someone who is so lovely and genuine at the same time, so we are grateful that we were able to come across you. 

Our day would not have been possible without you, so thank you again Elizabeth!  Best wishes,
Terry & Hanh

​Please contact me now to arrange a totally obligation-free meeting. 

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Elizabeth
