Your wedding ceremony should be personal and reflect your own requirements.
I provide a large selection of readings and vows, which you can use as they are, change them or even include your own contribution. Poetry and song lyrics are an excellent source of inspiration.

Couples are encouraged to provide input into the composing of their own ceremony and also the events and readings within the ceremony. Such things as candle lighting or hand binding can be included in any ceremony.

Music also plays a part in creating the right atmosphere for your ceremony, for this you can consider having a singer, musician at the ceremony or I can provide a compact disc/tape player for your selection of recorded music.

Most Wedding Ceremonies last approximately 20 to 30 minutes, which would include the signing of certificates. However as you have unlimited input into the composition of the ceremony, you can make the ceremony as long or short as you like. I will provide you with a memento booklet of your wedding ceremony as well as que cards for readers to use during the ceremony.

Venues for Wedding Ceremonies can be wide and varied, parks, gardens, home, restaurant, beach, resort, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

PROCESS:

Upon receipt of your enquiry, I will provide you with an introduction letter and a booklet of ceremony suggestions together with a Notice Of Intended Marriage. You should complete this form then return it to me with booking fee. (Notice Of Intended Marriage must be completed and lodged at least one full calendar month before the date of the ceremony).

A ceremony is selected at your leisure using the ceremony suggestion booklet or using your own contribution. Your selection is made and returned to me. I will then compile the ceremony and provide you with a completed copy for your approval. A pre-ceremony meeting with you both will be arranged approximately one to two weeks before your wedding. At this meeting I will discuss with you the final arrangements and the agenda of the ceremony. Also you will need to provide me with identification for both parties either, original certificate of birth or an original extract of an entry of birth in an official register. Should either of you have been previously married I would also require to sight evidence of termination of the last marriage such as Death Certificate or Decree Absolute.

Your wedding day will be one of the most precious days that you will experience. I will be honored be able to provide you with a ceremony, which is both personal and memorable.

“Thank you for such a lovely Wedding Ceremony! Everyone commented on how great it was. We shall of course recommend you to everyone getting married.”

“John was the most warm and welcoming Celebrant we could have ever had an experience with. With both Adam and myself, being married before, and having an alternative religion, John took our input of our religion and beliefs into consideration and enthusiasm, and worked his best into helping us making our ceremony script the best it could be. The perfect back drop to our wedding ceremony, and John’s relaxed attitiude, our ceremony was nothing but perfect.

Thank you so much John, for all that you did for us and making our day magical.”
