PA System: For all Premium- Bespoke Weddings, I include the use of a PA system with a cordless microphone. It is an optional extra at Micro-Weddings and Elopements.
Excess travel: My office is located at Upper Coomera and all my packages (excluding Legals only) include 30km travel from my office. Excess travel will be calculated at $1.00 per km.
Sand ritual: Many of my couples choose the option of a sand ritual as it is the symbolising of uniting and togetherness. Couples chose the sand colours and I performed this ritual just after the register is signed. My Premium–Bespoke packages include the ritual (accessories not included), however you can add this sand ritual to any package (excluding legals only). Price on application.

Your Ever After Begins Here
Let's Create A Ceremony As Unique As Your Love Story
I know it is difficult to choose a Marriage Celebrant and it is a decision that you shouldn’t take lightly. Personality connection is so important and not everyone clicks. I offer free meet and greets via virtual or face to face to see if I am the right Celebrant for you. I tell all my couples that I can be as involved as they like or uninvolved as they like. I am a strong believer of supporting my couples throughout their journey firstly because I have been a bride and have firsthand experience of the highs and lows that come with this title. Secondly, I am inclusive and really don’t care what gender you are, if you like things a bit different or are not fond of talking in front of people using a microphone. I have your back and together we will have fun along the way and your memories of your Wedding Ceremony will be forever in your heart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need To Know Before Your Big Day
Yes I totally encourage having a non- obligational meet and greet with me as your potential celebrant, as I think it is super important to see if I'm a good fit. I do welcome these meetings at my Home Office in Upper Camera or via FaceTime.
Legally as a marriage celebrant you are allowed to accept completed NOIM’s between one month to 18 months prior to your Marriage. Don’t panic if you only have a few months before your wedding date as I have become a specialist at creating Ceremonies with only 6 weeks notice.
You have the option of signing the NOIM via FaceTime as long as I can see you sign and date the document as well as see your ID at the same time we can process it that way. Face to face is always my preferred, although I am available for virtual signing.
Yes, I love to talk about different ideas and options that are available. We discuss all this at your planning meeting. I recommend setting 1-1.5 hours aside for this detailed planning meeting. I promise you that when you leave my office you will have a more clearer idea of your vision and vibe. I like to make you Ceremony personalised so not all options will suit your vision and vibe but you are welcome to use any ideas that I discuss with you.
I certainly do, I know some very reputable vendors that I've been working with for the last four to five years since I've become a marriage celebrant.

*Bohemian Beach Bridal is a superb bridal & formal gown supplier. Tamara is a beautiful individual who is so helpful and will go the extra mile to help you achieve the look you are after.
