There are many reasons for choosing a Civil Celebrant to
conduct your wedding:

  •        you have the person of your choice
                   - you are not restricted to an area
            
  •        you can create your own ceremony
                   - this can be traditional if you so wish
            
  •        you can include others - family or friends
          
  •         you may feel uncomfortable about
                           requesting the services of a Church Minister.
Weddings . . . an event in the lifetime of a love
It is usual to book some time in advance, before the Wedding date, but sometimes family
circumstances dictate otherwise . . . I am very happy to make arrangements that will suit
each couple.

Your ceremony planning will include a visit by me; a discussion of ceremony content and
advice based on my extensive experience.
  • We have a FOCUS 500 amplifier which enhances ceremonies, particularly those
    outdoors. It was put to good use at one wedding where a guitarist / vocalist used the
    Aux In plug to great effect.
