Next steps
Now you know a bit more about me, we should meet for a chat. Let’s have a coffee or talk on the phone and see if we’re a good match. Obligation-free. We’re going to be working closely together to ensure a ceremony that really means something to you, so it’s important to get it right.
I will run through the legal requirements, get an idea of how you envision your ceremony, even if it’s just the vibe you want to create on the day, and answer any questions you have. If you decide to book me, we will then all sign a simple contract and I’ll require a $250 booking fee to hold the date. I will help you complete the first piece of legal paperwork which needs to be received by me at least a month before the wedding.
Over the next weeks/months we work together to develop your ceremony with you having as much or little input as you want. I’m always available to help you with ideas and suggestions for readings, music, rituals and involving guests in different ways. A week or two before the wedding day we will meet to have a rehearsal, sort out any concerns and sign some more paperwork. I’ll liaise with your other suppliers and venue staff where appropriate which means we’re all there as your personal trouble-shooting team to make sure you don’t have to worry about a thing on the day. During the wedding, we all sign the last 3 forms/certificates, and I then submit them to Births, Deaths & Marriages to register your marriage.
