FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When and how can we meet?
All initial meetings are via Facetime or Zoom, so we can vibe check, get to know each other, and ask and answer any questions. Once you’ve booked me in, I’d love to mingle face-to-face over a coffee or vino and sign the NOIM Form. I aim to schedule this date post-questionnaires so we can talk about all the juicy details and collaborate on your wedding.
Do you charge for travel?
The first 40km from my home In Coomera Waters are without charge, each way. Please enquire directly for travel fees beyond this distance.
What if you can’t make it to the wedding?
As unlikely as it is that this kind of emergency would occur, we must be prepared for these scenarios just in case. Fortunately, I work in a lovely industry among many fabulous friendors. I would call upon another wonderful and trusted celebrant to step in with my script.
Will you personalise our ceremony?
Your ceremony is written specifically about you and your relationship. You will never be subjected to a monologue about the significance of marriage in any of my ceremonies. I’ll share your best stories - the romantic, the funny, the things that make you both amazing. So yes - personalised to the hills!
Will you witness and/or lodge the NOIM Form?
Yes. I lodge all Notice of Intent to Marry (NOIM) Forms for my couples, saving you the $169 NOIM lodgment fee. I’ll walk you through the required I.D. documents and processes, as well as as act as your NOIM Form witness. I’m super organised and will ensure we don’t miss a beat or encounter any issues regarding the legalities.
Can we contact you throughout the process?
Absolutely. When you book me in for your wedding day, please know that I’m hopping on this journey with you. Feel free to request advice or recommendations anytime. You can even text me just to say, “WTF our wedding is X weeks away!” or “Mother of the bride outfit sorted - how stunning is this dress!” I’m just one text, call, email away.
Can we use your PA system to play our music at the ceremony?
You sure can! You’ve got two options here.
1) You’re so welcome to appoint a trusted friend or guest to connect to my speaker to play the music. To support the smooth running of this process, I’ll request your song choices in advance and include them in my Run Sheet, and I’ll provide a copy to your music-playing buddy so they can follow along seamlessly. I recommend you rehearse this with them in advance.
2) If you’re not keen to palm this job off to a guest, I can bring an audio buddy of my own. I’ll practice timing with them in advance. This option incurs an audio-buddy fee.
Do we need a wet weather option?
If your wedding is outdoors, yes. In the event of rain or other undesirable weather, your ceremony will need to be relocated indoors or undercover. Fingers crossed you wont need to use it.
Do you offer rehearsals?
Yes! I offer rehearsals, which are subject to travel fees. I find a Facetime or Zoom catch up the week before your wedding is usually effective and more convenient for everyone involved. I always strive to accommodate my couples in any way possible, and will be flexible. If you’d like an on-site rehearsal, we can certainly make it happen.
Please reach out if you have any other questions, lovelies XX
