I offer two styles of wedding - the short and sweet version which is called a "legals only" ceremony; and a standard ceremony, which includes the telling of your love story. All couples are offered, free of charge, the option to include reading of a wedding / vow statement during their ceremony. This ensures personalisation of your service, so it is unique. Other options are also offered for no additional charge.
= areas covered (up to 55 miles)I need to know the exact location within the venue to assist with unloading, parking and any other restrictions. Timing of the ceremony and pre-ceremony access is critical information as well.
Unloading access to as close to the wedding spot as possible (so I don't have to carry bulky equipment over rough or distant terrain). Parking as close to the wedding spot as possible, so I can pick up my audio equipment and leave after the ceremony. I do not require power as my audio gear is battery operated.
Setup usually is done about half an hour before the ceremony beginning. Packing down usually takes around 15 minutes, depending on foot access + how far from parking the ceremony spot is located.

I operate in the Northern Rivers region of NSW and have been an authorised marriage celebrant since late 2016. I have officiated at 170 weddings. In recent years I have conducted 35 weddings per annum.
Wedding ceremony.
Retired from full time work; studied to become a celebrant; and have conducted more than 170 wedding ceremonies in the past decade.
My primary goal is not focussed on money making. As I am retired and believe in the institution of marriage, I have the time and energy to devote to ensuring couples are totally happy with their marriage ceremonies. It also means I can be as flexible as required. With a special skill for script writing, my Google Reviews confirm an appreciation for making weddings special and memorable.
Two specific styles of wedding (legals only and standard) with a range of options and rituals offered for no additional fee.
Document preparation; script writing; provision of samples to assist couples to write their optional vow statements; option to add traditional or other vows to the ceremony; audio equipment to ensure all guests can hear; printing of secret vow statements for the day; registration of the marriage within 24 hours of the ceremony; ordering of an Official Certificate of Marriage at the time of registration if required; access to the celebrant via phone, email, WhatsApp or Messenger to provide advice.
More than a full calendar month.
Easy, relaxed, pleasant, informative and resourceful. Clients find me easy to speak with.
If you look at Google Reviews for Northern Rivers Celebrant you will find several recent clients. It should, however be noted that I also respect the preference for privacy by some couples, who therefore prefer not to go public with their comments.
