Weddings What style of wedding are you planning? Large, traditional, small, casual, home, beach, romantic or an elopement? Perhaps you have been married before and just want a simple, no-fuss wedding, or you may just want a short wedding as you are having a larger ceremony with your family in your own country. You can still have the wedding of your dreams regardless of the size or style. I will work with you to create a ceremony that makes your day a truly unique and magical experience. To ensure that all your family and friends can hear the ceremony, I have a state of the art PA system with a CD/MP3 player, and also a selection of bridal music and popular love songs if you don't want to provide your own. I can also supply a covered signing table & chair and a red carpet (option 1 only) for that grand entrance. All couples receive a copy of the ceremony printed in a booklet format in a presentation folder. Don't you just hate those scrappy bits of paper that friends and family pull out of their pockets for the readings? Well I do, so all poems and readings are printed on a colour co-ordinated card which the reader can keep as a memento of the day. Prices??? Not all couples have the same requirements so I have several options available to suit all budgets. Please feel free to contact me to discuss the options. Option 1 - Customised Wedding $490** A lot of planning goes in to making your wedding day perfect and the ceremony should not let you down. This option is ideal for couples who want a ceremony customised to reflect their own love story. I will provide you with a Wedding Guide which has samples of vows, ring vows, poems and readings and will work with you to create a truly unique and memorable ceremony. A normal ceremony can take from 25 - 45 minutes including signing the certificates. There are many extra touches that can be added to make your ceremony more special e.g. a rose ceremony, sand ceremony, candle ceremony, or an angel blessing. Or for those who have a Celtic background, a traditional Hand-fasting or a shortened version can be added to a more contemporary ceremony. If you have a Scottish background perhaps you might like to add a few of the old traditional rituals such as; a Hand-fasting over a destiny stone, pinning of the clan tartan or drinking from a Quaich. (Candles, sand, rose petals etc are normally supplied by the couple. However, I can provide simple unity candles and coloured sand and jars for a nominal fee. Hand-fasting ribbons are free of charge.) Included in fee; ♥ Unlimited consultations in person/phone/email ♥ Loan of a Wedding Planning Guide ♥ Use of PA system with CD player ♥ Covered signing table, chair ♥ 3.6 metre Red Carpet (weather permitting) ♥ Readings printed on decorative cards ♥ Copy of ceremony in a presentation folder ♥ Name change kit for NSW brides ♥ Rehearsal at venue or your home ♥ All legal documentation including relationship information ♥ Official marriage certificate **Additional charges may apply for extra-ordinary travel, water taxi fees, parking fees and national park entry fees. But wait - there's more! Sorry no steak knives! If you are stressed, I will make you a bottle of Bach Rescue Remedy for those pre-wedding nerves! Option 2 - Short 'n' Sweet Wedding $400** The Short 'n' Sweet package is perfect for couples who want to get married with no fuss, don't want readings or poems, or are having a religious/cultural blessing as well. This option is available on weekdays only at any location of your choice within the Sydney area. A normal ceremony takes up to 20 minutes including signing of the certificates. Included in fee; ♥ Unlimited consultations in person/phone/email ♥ Loan of a Wedding Planning Guide ♥ Official marriage certificate ♥ Use of PA system (if required) ♥ Covered signing table, chair (if required) ♥ Rehearsal at venue or your home. ♥ Copy of ceremony in presentation folder ♥ All legal documentation including relationship information **Additional charges may apply for extra-ordinary travel, water taxi fees, parking fees and national park entry fees. Red carpet $50 extra. Option 3 - Quickie Wedding (Vows Only) What options are there for couples who just want to get married or are eloping? Well, one option is to go to the Registry office at Births, Deaths & Marriages, exchange vows and sign the marriage certificate. The legal vows are: "I call upon the people/persons here present to witness that I (full name) take you/thee (full name) to be my lawful wedded wife/husband." The other and better option is to hire me! My fees are the same as the Registry office but you get lots more! You can just say the legal requirements (vows) if you like, or you can choose from seven very small ceremonies. A normal ceremony takes about 15 minutes including signing the declarations and certificates. This option is ideal for overseas visitors who just want a small personalised ceremony. The ceremony can be held at my home/office, your home, or any venue within the Sydney metropolitan area. Fees: Monday to Friday; $330**. Friday evening, Saturday & Sunday; $420** Included in fee; ♥ Unlimited consultations in person/phone/email (Sydney area only) ♥ Official marriage certificate ♥ Covered signing table & chair (if required) ♥ Choice of 7 short ceremonies ♥ Copy of ceremony (if required) ♥ All legal documentation including relationship information **Additional charges may apply for extra-ordinary travel, water taxi fees, parking fees and national park entry fees. Booking Deposits; Options 1 & 2: A non-refundable deposit of $200 confirms your booking and the balance is due no later than two weeks prior to the ceremony. Option 3: A 50% deposit confirms your booking and the balance is due a week before or on the day of the ceremony. *Red carpet is available for Option 1 only.
