Membership: I am a member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants (AFCC), which has over 4000 members, this provides a large network of celebrants to call on for help in need and is a vast source of resources.

Values: I always make sure that the paperwork is ready early and it would be made available for another celebrant to use in case of emergency.

Insurances and Copyright: I have Public Liability Insurance, Professional indemnity insurance, copyright protection and an APRA commercial music performance license exemption.

One ceremony per day guarantee: Your ceremony is most important to me and that is why I only book one wedding or other ceremony in a day.

Planning: I like to try and plan for the expected and the unexpected together with the help of my couples.

Service agreement: this makes sure everyone is on the same page and helps to eliminate any potential misunderstandings.

PA system 2 x with wireless receivers plus corded mic on stand plus remote-controlled USB player for music.

Your wedding ceremony equally involves two parties and is the first day of the rest of your lives together – My focus is on the bride and groom equally.

When the commitment you are making to each other is real – wonderful, hopefully magical and a true part of life – your guests and I are totally moved.

It is your wedding – no one else’s. I am happy to take inspiration from others – but as this is your wedding, my focus is on you both.

I like rehearsals, I believe they are an opportunity to check last minute details and to make sure everyone will be comfortable on the day.

If you have others participating in the ceremony: I am happy to work with them so they feel comfortable using a microphone etc:

I am not happy with the ceremony until I get it in writing that you are totally happy with it too.
