Wow! Words cannot even begin to describe how amazing Lucy was as our celebrant. She met up with us a number of times prior to the wedding which made us feel so comfortable and was actually so fun, just like having coffee with an old friend. The ceremony was outstanding, humorous, yet loving and serious at the same time. By the end of the night we were seriously sick of everyone telling us how awesome our celebrant was!! The comment was made a few times that "the ceremony was so you" and that is for sure thanks to Lucy and how seriously she took her role. Maybe we will get married again so that we can experience her magic one more time!!" - Anna

You're married. If you want someone else to say a few words, sure. We'll make it fun.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. BOOK. Send me an enquiry and I'll make sure I'm available on that date. If you want to meet** up for a drink and a chat before we lock it in, we can arrange it. Or if you think I'm your kind of gal, we'll go ahead and secure the date.
2. MEET. We'll meet up to do your Notice of Intended Marriage, and start planning your ceremony. Shall we have a hot choccie? Maybe a vino? Yes, we shall. (Vegas Style weddings, we then jump ahead to Step 5. Whoop whoop)
3. PLAN. I'll send you a questionnaire so I can get all the juicy details. You'll fill it out separately, and it'll help me create a ceremony with all the good lol's. I'll also work with you on your vows and readings.
4. REHEARSAL. Another meeting/rehearsal to finalise all the details. This can take place at the venue if we can book it in, otherwise we can rehearse in a local park, or your backyard, or anywhere. Most importantly, you sign the final bit of paperwork I need, and I walk you through the ceremony so your comfortable (without giving the good bits away).
5. WEDDINGGGGGG. Big or small, we'll have a good ol' time. I'll be there to hold your hand throughout the ceremony (or you can hold each other's hands, you cute heads).
6. AFTER-PARTY. I'll send you follow-up details about changing names, getting official marriage certificates, etc. I'll also lodge your details with Births, Deaths and Marriages so your marriage is registered, and you'll be officially strapped to the ol' ball and chain. HOORAY!
**Please note: All meetings (except rehearsal) to take place in Elsternwick on weekdays/weeknights. We'll work out a time that suits us all. Skype meetings available regularly.
