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.
