FAQ

We want something simple, non-religious and not overly “frilly”. Is that your style?

Absolutely. Most couples I work with want their ceremony to feel natural, relaxed and meaningful — without theatrics or unnecessary formality. If you'd like something simple, warm and easy to follow, that’s exactly what I specialise in.

How do we check your availability?

The quickest way is to use the availability form on this website. If you prefer to speak with someone directly, call 1300 668 459 and we’ll check the date for you.

What is your fee and what does it include?

My fee is $799 for weddings within the Adelaide metropolitan area on most dates.

This includes:

• All legal documentation and lodgement
• Preparation meetings and guidance
• Personalised ceremony content
• A rehearsal meeting prior to the wedding
• Professional ceremony delivery on the day

For locations beyond 30 minutes from Adelaide CBD, a travel surcharge applies. Long weekends and peak holiday periods may attract a higher fee.

How early do you arrive on the day?

I typically arrive at least 20 minutes before the ceremony start time, ensuring everything is settled and ready.

Do you supply a PA system?

No, I do not supply a PA system. In most Adelaide weddings, a PA is not necessary and guests can hear comfortably.

If your ceremony is outdoors, very large (100+ guests), or in a windy/open space, hiring a PA may be worthwhile — and I’m happy to use one if provided.

What about music for the aisle?

Most couples use a Bluetooth speaker for their ceremony music, which works perfectly well in most settings.

If you’d like stronger sound coverage, you may choose to hire a PA system for the day.

Do we meet before the wedding?

Yes. We meet initially to plan your ceremony and complete legal paperwork.

We also meet again closer to the wedding to run through the ceremony so you feel confident and prepared.

Do you attend rehearsals at our venue?

If required, I can attend an on-site rehearsal, subject to availability.

An additional fee applies, particularly if travel is involved.

However, I’ve found that most couples feel so fully confident after our preparation meetings that they rarely ask for a separate venue rehearsal.

Do you provide sample vows?

Yes. You’ll receive a draft ceremony format including sample vows and optional content.

You’re welcome to use those, adapt them, or write your own.

Do you handle all legal paperwork?

Yes. I prepare and lodge all required documents.

You simply provide the necessary identification and marital status documents — I take care of the rest.

How do we obtain the “Registered” Marriage Certificate?

The certificate required for immigration or name change purposes must be applied for separately through Births, Deaths and Marriages.

After your wedding, I’ll provide a direct link so you can apply easily.

Marriage registration usually occurs within 1–2 weeks.

For urgent processing, contact BDM directly on 131 882.
