How does it work?
Our initial consultation: (Complimentary, no strings attached)
-
This session aims to help you determine if you feel comfortable entrusting me with officiating your wedding day.
-
We'll discuss the style of ceremony you envision and what resonates with both of you – your preferences are my priority!
-
I'll guide you through the necessary legal paperwork.
-
Additionally, I'll present various options for vows, ceremony structure, and assist you in personalizing every aspect of your special day.
-
We can arrange to meet at a local café/bar, at your residence, or mine.
-
This consultation can be conducted in person or via Skype.
​​
The Ceremony:
-
I will craft a bespoke ceremony that beautifully weaves in your love story and reflects your ceremony preferences.
-
I'll provide this to you at least 2 weeks prior to your wedding – transparency is key, and there won't be any surprises!
-
I will arrive at the venue at least one hour before the ceremony commences.
-
I will bring your paperwork and vows to the venue- so no stressing about this on the day!

Logistics
Rehearsals can be arranged upon mutual agreement (additional charges may apply). Typically, I like to meet with my couples individually, either in person or over the phone, during the week leading up to the wedding as part of my comprehensive service.
​
For couples seeking a Registry Office Style- it's important to note that since July 2019, the Courthouse in Hamilton no longer conducts marriage ceremonies. However, I can provide couples with a simple yet meaningful service.
​
These ceremonies can be held at our gorgeous macadamia nut orchard (Patetonga, Waikato), or another convenient local venue. For these ceremonies, attendance is limited to under 7 guests, including your two witnesses.
