The Commonwealth bestowed upon us some great power (which comes with great responsibility), but there's a lot to it! We spend hours getting to know you, writing and refining your ceremony, looking after lots of paperwork and making your day as pain free as possible! We're sorta like human icebergs.

You're required to complete your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) with me at least 1 month prior to your wedding and no earlier than 18 months before. There are some circumstances where you can get an exemption to this, but the decision isn't up to me. If this is you though - let's chat. 

There's a bit of bland ol' paperwork, but I promise you nothing too daunting! As long as you have your required documents, we just need some deets, some autographs & I'll do the rest! You sign four different documents throughout the whole process!

I'll never discriminate based on religious beliefs, but if you're wanting a religious ceremony in a place of worship I'm probably not your best bet. Most religious marriages require certain conventions and people (like a religious marriage celebrant) to happen. Being a civil celebrant, I marry you in the eyes of the law and am not associated with a religion. That being said, if you are religious but don't need a religious ceremony, I could still be your gal. 

Under the Marriage Act 1961, marriage is defined as  'the union of 2 people to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life'. If you have been previously married, you must have legal documentation proving your divorce from the previous partner and have no other legal impendiment to marriage. But my poly-pals, do not fret! I love big love and we can still do a commitment ceremony that has all the bells and whistles (but none of the legal stuff). 

Um, YES! I do charge an additional fee for outside of Melbourne based on kms. In saying that, I travel a bunch so hit me up to find out if I'm in your area for a big discount on those additional $$. Bear in mind, I am only legally able to marry on Australian soil and in Australian waters. While I'd love you to fly me to Barbados, I'm not much use to you there. 

Is the Pope Catholic? As long as I feel comfortable and safe, I'm keen to be (just about) anything you need me to be! Elven princess? Done. Marilyn Monroe? Honestly, let me at it. Shoot me your ideas and let's make it happen! 

Only your time, my pretty. The thing I care about the most is making sure you're comfortable on your big day. If you don't vibe with me, or decide to look for something different - as long as you're happy, I'm happy! My first-time meetups are absolutely free of cost and obligation. 

Absolutely not! I perform a range of life ceremonies from naming rituals (for lil babes & beautiful trans babes), dead-name funerals, living memorials, poly commitment celebrations, alt funerals & so much more! Chuck me a message for a quote!

Sure do! We're living in the 21st century baby - we make our own traditions. While we can certainly incorporate the bones of your classic "wedding ceremony", I prioritise whipping up a one of a kind experience for each of my gorge couples. 

While I love an excuse to go gallivanting around the globe, I'm only legally able to marry on Australian land or in Australian waters. We can still complete paperwork through things like Zoom to be ready for you when you get back to Aus, but alas - I can't marry you on Macchu Picchu. 

Elopements are small and meaningful ceremonies designed to be shared between the two lovebirds and sometimes a few of their close mates. These are mainly just to get the legal stuff done, say a few quick words and then have some bubbles as newly weds. Weddings, are the whole package - we're talking little rituals, the whole love story, some funny anecdotes, some music, whatever you can think of! It's a real bit of theatre and requires a lot more work. 

In order for the marriage to be legal in Australia, you must be married by a Commonwealth Authorised Civil Celebrant. We go through tons of training to be fully-equipped to legally marry you! We can always chat about your friend doing the bulk of the non-legal stuff like readings, rituals, etc. but you always must have an authorised celebrant present to say and do the legal stuff. 

If you're waiting on important paperwork to make your marriage legal and it doesn't arrive by the day of your ceremony, I unfortunately can't legally marry you. We can do the whole ceremony and do most of what we'd planned, but you will not be able to legally wed until the paperwork has come through. This would be tough, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time!

When you book with me, I'll provide you with some Ts & Cs and my cancellation policy. My initial booking fee is non-refundable, but depending on the circumstances and timeframe (outlined in the policy) you may be eligible to rebook or get your money back. The same goes for last-minute postponements. 

Stuff happens, things change - so long as your wedding date is later than a month and no more than 18 months from your original NOIM date, you're all good babe. 

I would love nothing more! When you book with me, I make sure you're kitted up with everything you need - one of those things is a comprehensive list of bad-ass, top-notch wedding vendors that are similar in vibe and crazy good at what they do.
