Types of Ceremonies

 

Rates for your wedding services may vary depending on the type of package and the location you are looking for.

My fees will be upfront and transparent.

There are three main packages offered:

The ‘All Inclusive’, ‘Elopement’ and the ‘Paperwork Only’ ceremony.


 

All Inclusive

Nothing will be left to chance on the day with the all inclusive package. No hidden fees or charges will pop up and everything you will need is right here.

ELOPEMENT

There is a massive surge in the wedding industry for an elopement style wedding. It can be the two of you and anyone else you want to bring along and can be held anywhere in the world. It’s a wonderful way to combine your wedding and honeymoon in one epic trip.

You can choose an incredible location in Australia which will mean we can conduct all of the legal paperwork on Australian soil, or if you’re after something more exotic, we can complete the paperwork prior to the overseas travel and then I can perform the ceremony for you at the location.

You will still need to have the Notice of Intended Marriage completed at least one month before the chosen day we sign the forms (in Australia) but we can complete the ceremony anywhere in the world.

The following is offered to you

  • Lodgement of your Notice of Intended Marriage

  • Unlimited correspondence leading up to the day via email and phone

  • Rehearsal/walk through prior to wedding day if needed and logistically possible

  • Ceremony delivered on the day with professionalism, personality, style and sincerity

  • Legal paperwork completed and timely submission on your behalf

  • Outfit consultation

Travel costs will be sent to you prior to departure. I don’t aim to make any profit from the travel costs, they are simply to cover the expenses of flights and accomodation and hire car if needed.

Paperwork Only/Local Elopement

I understand that some couples may wish for it to just be the two of them, so I’ve also included a paperwork only ceremony and local elopement option.

For a simple and sweet wedding all you need is at least two witnesses over the age of 18 (quite often the photographer can jump in as one) each other and myself of course. This style usually takes place at a Registry Office but how about we add a little class and a little more fun to the day?! You will still need to have the Notice of Intended Marriage completed at least one month before the chosen day but we can complete the proceedings in a bar, at the beach, in your back yard or over a beautiful lunch (my favourite paperwork only ceremony was with Nikki + Levi who got hitches at their favourite burger spot at Burgster in Palm Beach, QLD).
