You're getting married - Congratulations!
You need to organise a few things. One is your celebrant. How do you choose a celebrant?
You could do what most people do - call one or more and ask how much they charge. What does the price tell you about the celebrant? Nothing really!
I think you want to know more. What do you do next? Go for the cheapest? The one that sounds nice? The most expensive? Interview a few then decide? Wow! It doesn't seem all that easy does it?
Look for Value, Quality and Service. If your celebrant offers real value it's money well spent. Resources, help provided, presentation, performance, flexibility and expertise show quality. Outstanding customer service means you'll be looked after they way you should. Choose someone with whom you feel comfortable and relaxed.
There's more to your wedding than your vows!
(Although they're the important part). What's said by your celebrant, and how it's said, creates the atmosphere. The readings chosen and how they're delivered are highlights. The music sets the scene. You might want important elements from your traditions, culture or beliefs.
You could choose flower ceremonies, ring warming, handfasting, rose ceremony, candles, symbolic blending (sand ceremony) or wine rituals. Your choice might be for a Medieval or Celtic theme.
The setting is also important for your unique celebration. A romantic chapel, a stately home, a garden setting, a delightful winery, a zoo, a river cruise, an aeroplane flight, Puffing Billy train, Colonial Tramcar Restaurant, somewhere with a special meaning for you. Melbourne is blessed with outstanding venue choices - The Dandenong Mountains, Mornington Peninsula, the Yarra Valley, glorious parks and gardens. The weather is also more kind than many other places - even so an outdoor setting should have a sheltered backup just in case.
Enjoy and Treasure Your Ceremony!
Your family, guests and most importantly, you, will remember a ceremony that's friendly, romantic, relaxed and special. Over the last ten years these are amongst many delightful messages from my clients:
A big thank you for marrying us.
You conducted a moving ceremony and judged our nerves (and our ability to remember lines) just right. Thank you so much for ensuring everything went so smoothly.'
Lesley & James
‘Whenever I think of our wedding ceremony I feel warmth, happiness and enjoyment.
It was such fun, very special and romantic. We could not have had such a ceremony or memories without your presence and input.'
Di (& Leo).
‘ Thank you so much for making our day so special.
We've had loads of positive feedback and compliments on our choice of celebrant.'
Helen & Julian.
‘We were thrilled with our wedding ceremony. Pete and I are over the moon.
I really appreciated how you listened to what we wanted.'
Jenny & Peter.
‘We remember so fondly and appreciate most sincerely your relaxed and happy attitude whilst conducting our ceremony. Your caring attention was very evident and without your professionalism we would not have the memories we now share with our families, dear friends and with each other.'
Michelle & Frank
