How far in advance should we book you?

You can book me over a year in advance. For popular dates, think Saturdays in Spring through Summer, it’s best to book at least six months in advance. Once you’ve locked me in, we can hit the ground running with your ceremony planning.

Do you travel for weddings?

Absolutely! Whether it’s by the coast, in the vines, or halfway up a mountain, if it’s your dream spot… I will pack my favourite heels (and a spare pair of flats) and be there. Travel fees will apply if it’s a decent trek, but I will always be upfront about that. I cover travel costs up to 20km from Sydney CBD.

What will our ceremony be like?

It can be whatever you like. Whatever feels right to you. I believe that ceremonies should feel alive, warm and heartfelt. I work really hard to get to know you because I want the ceremony to be a reflection of you. Your story.

Do we write our own vows?

Yes, if you would like! However you absolutely don’t have to. If you choose to write your own, I can help make sure that they feel effortless. I can provide guidance, examples, prompts and a gentle steer if there is something from your questionnaire that I think is particularly wonderful. I believe your vows should sound like you. I want to be supportive, not prescriptive.

There is some legal wording that needs to be included and said by you, but I will walk you through all that.

How long does the ceremony go for?

The sweet sport is usually 20-25 minutes. Long enough to make it meaningful, but short enough that no one starts wondering when that can have that glass of champagne.

What is included in your packages?

Every package includes all the legal paperwork, guidance and a ceremony that feels authentically yours. Get in touch via my booking form and I’ll send you a much more detailed breakdown of the package that you’re enquiring about.

We’ve never done this before. Where do we start?

That’e exactly my job. I will walk you through every step of the ceremony journey. The paperwork (Notice of Intended Marriage), the planning, the vows. Even the “What do we do with our hands?” part of the day.

Can we include cultural rituals or our family traditions?

Absolutely. From handfastings, sake ceremonies, family readings, or even something totally unique. If it means something to you, i’ll weave it into your ceremony so it feels seamless and authentic.

What paperwork do we need to lodge?

The big one is the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM), which must be signed and lodged at least one month before your wedding date (and no more than 18 months ahead). I’ll guide you through that and all of the other legal bits so nothing gets missed. I’ll also lodge everything with Births, Deaths and Marriages (BIM) and order your wedding certificate so it gets sent straight to your door.

Do we need witnesses?

Yes. You will need two people over the age of 18. They don’t have to be in the bridal party and they don’t need any special skills except for signing their name clearly

What if something unexpected happens?

It’s all part of your story. I’ve seen windy veils, overexcited flower dogs and rings that didn’t want to go on. I keep it calm, light and flowing so you don’t have to stress. Those little unscripted moments often become the ones that you remember most.
