Frequently Asked Questions

Getting started

Congratulations on your engagement! It's an exciting time and you have a lot of organising to do for your special day. To ensure I am available for your Wedding, I suggest you contact me and check my availability. The next step is to arrange a meeting with me so we can have a chat about what you would like for your ceremony.

Each ceremony is unique and specially personalised to you. Through meeting with you and chatting about your relationship and love for one another, I am able to get a sense of you as a couple and put together your unique ceremony.

What you need

When you meet with me, you will need to bring along some documentation which consists of:

Passport
Birth Certificate
Drivers Licence
ID Card
Divorce papers (if applicable).

Once you pay the initial deposit we can get started by completing the a Notice of Intention to Marriage (NOIM). This is one of the legal documents that will be registered for your marriage. My services will ensure that these documents are completed correctly.

Legal Requirements for your Wedding

Legal Requirements – I know this sounds quite daunting but as an Authorised Celebrant, I can assure you that I will be able to guide you through all the legal requirements to ensure that you are legally married in the eyes of the Australian Law.

The Legal forms consist of; a Notice of Intention to Marriage, a Declaration of Legal Impediment and the legal part of your wedding ceremony. This compliance will ensure your wedding is legally compliant.

What will Sharon wear on the day?

Your planning for the wedding will involve, your bridal dress, suits, bridal party, decisions of the colour. One of the questions I ask is what colours you have chosen. I don’t want to clash or wear the same colour as your bridal party or for that matter, what the mother of the bride/ groom will be wearing.

I dress professionally in either black, navy or charcoal grey. I like to blend into the background. I believe the focus should be on the bride and groom and bridal party.

Ceremony Selections

You will leave your first meeting with me with my Wedding Information Pack to assist you with planning your ceremony. The pack contains a collection of special rituals, readings, poems, samples of vows, list of music, and everything you will need to help your planning easier.
