Kelly is a six-time ABIA Victorian Celebrant of the Year award nominee. With the experience and understanding to provide ceremonies that blends styles, cultures and spiritual beliefs.
Her caring and understanding manner is well suited to helping and working with you and your needs for delivering a stylish and memorable wedding.
From small and intimate micro ceremonies, to large venue-based ceremonies, Kelly is here to guide you to ensure that your experience is stress-free and fun.
This relaxed initial meeting will allow you to express your plans and ideas to help me create something unique to you. During our meeting, I will go through the legal requirements and my role as a Civil Marriage Celebrant.
You will receive what I like to call, “my ceremony survival kit”, which will include examples of vows, a guide to help you write your own vows if that is your preference, poems, readings and a comprehensive questionnaire which will give me a greater understanding of who you are.
Second meeting, we will further discuss your ceremony as well as fill out the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM). This form must be lodged with me at least 1 month prior to your ceremony. I will also need to sight the required identification documents.
We can meet again to discuss your ceremony as well as via email or online.
An optional rehearsal at the venue (venue permitting) in the days prior to your ceremony.
I conduct a sincere and professional ceremony and will ensure that I dress to fit in with the style of your wedding.
DO I NEED TO SIGN ANYTHING?
You are required to sign some documents during the ceremony e.g. the Certificate of Marriage, the Marriage Register and the presentation Marriage Certificate. You will need two witnesses over the age of 18 to sign these documents.
At the end of your ceremony, you will receive professionally printed marriage certificate. Completion of all legal paperwork and lodgement with the relevant authorities on your behalf. (Please note, after the marriage couples must obtain their own Registered Marriage Certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriages.)
Your ceremony is special to you and your guests and should be heard by all attending your wedding. I supply a PA Wireless Speaker with a microphone.
