Choose the level of service you need and let me guide you through the process.

Just the Paperwork

I can officiate a brief ceremony, with all the legal requirements to get you married but none of the ceremonial elements of a wedding. This service includes:

  • Preparing and witnessing your Notice of Intended Marriage

  • Preparing and witnessing your Declaration of No Legal Impediment.

  • Quick ceremony, within 20km of Hawthorn, comprising your legal vows with just you and two witnesses present.

  • Preparing and witnessing your Official Certificates of Marriage.

  • Lodgement of all required documents with Births Deaths and Marriages.

    $450

Note: this is genuinely a “legals only” ceremony for the couple, and 2 witnesses, not a wedding ceremony for a small group of family or friends. If you think you’ll want to include personal vows, ring exchange or any other ceremonial elements, or you’d like to have more than two people present, you’re really after The Standard.

Following a recent amendment to the Marriage Act, regardless of which option you choose I am required by law to meet with both of you, in-person and independently prior to solemnising your marriage, in order to establish full consent of both parties to the marriage. You may have another person with you when we meet but it cannot be your intended spouse.

The Standard

This is the ceremony that most couples want. It has all the essential services included at a single price point and includes:

  • Preparing and witnessing your Notice of Intended Marriage.

  • A sit down planning meeting to shape your ceremony into something really special.

  • Preparing and witnessing your Declaration of No Legal Impediment.

  • Tailored script, with a choice of vows, ring exchange etc. and two revisions, up to two weeks before your ceremony.

  • Infinite emails as we get ourselves organised.

  • “Table Read” rehearsal locally or via Zoom (if required).

  • ~20-30 minute ceremony, within 50km of either Hawthorn or Anglesea.

  • Use of my portable Bose S1 Pro sound system and your choice of wireless handheld or lapel microphones for me, you, anyone else doing readings, and for your music if required.

  • Preparing and witnessing your Official Certificates of Marriage and Commonwealth Marriage Certificate.

  • Lodgement of all required documents with Births Deaths and Marriages.

    $950
