CIVIL MARRIAGE CELEBRANT NORTHERN BEACHES-Boxed Personalized Candle on Bridal Covered Table & Chairs included in $395 Fee (Click on Photos to view inclusions & some of my Ceremonies). Includes all Documentation & Government Registration. Email address below or phone 0402104079. Immigration letters included in fee. The NSW Registry Office now charge $378 to officiate marriages (Sat/Sun) on their premises.

My aim is to provide couples with a Ceremony they will remember with joy & complete satisfaction at a reasonable price. I belong only to free Bridal Sites which keeps my overheads to a minimum. These savings I can then pass on to you. Naming (see Candle with child's photo), Gay Union, Renewal of Vows & Commitment Ceremonies: $175 (no Government Registration is required for these Ceremonies).

Discount applies: Monday to Wednesday & everyday June to August. I am available any day or night of the week & book only one Ceremony per day which means that you can change your Ceremony time if the need arises.

Ceremony can be short or, you might like to include a Candle, Sand or Exchange of Roses Ceremony which can include Mothers of the Bride & Groom, or just yourselves. Hand Fastening, Circle of Flowers, Korean Bowing Ceremony - there are many choices. I provide a selection of Introductions, Readings, Prayers, Askings & Vows and instructions for Change of Name in printed form or by email. Perhaps you would like to include a Poem or the like, written by yourselves. Your Marriage Certificate is presented to you in a modern clear press stud Folder with a print-out of your Ceremony. I provide covered table, two chairs both with organza ribbons, vase (floor pots also available) of silk flowers (pink, yellow or white), silver or gold black-ink pen for the signing of the red hard covered Marriage Register (Options). Many of my couples have chosen to have a friend, hand from a basket to guests on arrival, an Order of Ceremony (Program). If you would like to do this, I can show you samples.

RINGS-I have a Ring Cushion or a Sea Shell - persons holding rings place them on the Cushion or Shell for the Bride/Groom to pick-up. Children often carry the rings on the Cushion.

HANDMADE CANDLES (within fee)-A Candle Ceremony is a nice way of including the Mother of the Bride & Mother of the Groom. The lighting of the Unity Candle from the light of each Family Taper Candle is symbolic for the joining of the two families. I provide Candle Vase (for wind) & Tea Light for the day. You may not care to have a Candle Ceremony but prefer a Boxed Single Personalized Candle - adds colour to the Bridal Table & nice to keep. Some couples light their Candle at their Reception.

NAMING CEREMONIES are performed by Civil Marriage Celebrants. The non-religious Ceremony is the welcomming of a child into the family & the appointment of Godparents/Mentors. I provide printed material, or material by email, to help you create a special Ceremony for your child. Personalized Naming Candle is provided within my fee & can be used within the Naming Ceremony and/or, to keep & light on Birthdays. Naming Certificate is presented to parent/s in a clear press stud folder with a print-out of the Ceremony. Certificates are also presented to Godparents/Mentors and Grandparents.

Phone or email with "your" questions. I live at Dee Why Beach - call in for an obligation free chat. I can help you make your Ceremony a beautiful Ceremony created by "You". Click on History Page for further information & Testimonials.
