Wedding Celebrant

It is important to me that your wedding day is everything you have dreamt of. It is my job to make sure that you feel comfortable, confident and relaxed on your special day.

Celebrant for your wedding

As your marriage celebrant I get to be a part of the wonderful journey of your commitment to one another. This is an honour and I am available to support and liaise with you throughout your preparations.

I support Marriage Equality and happily perform same sex marriages. I am open and inclusive and do not discriminate. It is everyone’s right to be treated equally and with respect.

I am aware of the many different cultures and traditions that people may wish to include into their ceremonies. I welcome these special moments that make your wedding ceremony so special and unique to you. You may also want to include children or your fur baby into the ceremony to make this a special day to be remembered by your family and friends.

Of course there are also the legalities associated with your wedding service. In our initial meeting, I can guide you through creating a ceremony of your choice and prepare the legal documents required.

A Local Who's Willing To Travel

I am local a to the picturesque Central Coast, however, I don’t mind packing my bags and adventuring the landscapes that New South Wales has to offer. I am always amazed at how many beautiful wedding venues are tucked away within our state.

Depending on the location of your destination wedding a fee maybe incurred to cover additional travel and accommodation expenses.

However, there are no additional travel expenses if your ceremony is in the Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle and lower Hunter
Regions.

Legal Requirements for Marriage

Being a celebrant is a special and important role. It attracts obligations and legal responsibilities.

I work towards marriage ceremonies which celebrate your individuality and choices, while carefully including the legal requirements needed for your wedding.

You will need to provide an original Birth Certificate or Passport as proof of date and place of birth

Completion of the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) form with your celebrant, no later than one month prior to your wedding date, but not more than 18 months before the wedding date.

You must provide Photo ID such as a Passport or Driver’s Licence. Your Passport can serve as both proof of of date and place of birth as well as Photo ID

All documents in a foreign language, must have a certified English translation done by a NAATI Certified person when it is to be sighted by a Celebrant.

Before the ceremony, couples are required to sign a Commonwealth Statutory Declaration of “No Legal Impediment” to being married

Other Types of Ceremonies

Commitment Ceremonies

There is more than one way to celebrate your love and commitment for each other, especially if a traditional wedding ceremony is not your cup of tea. Having a commitment ceremony, simply means that you get to experience the ritual feeling of a wedding without the legalities. It gives couples the autonomy to be as creative as they desire when it comes to their ceremony.

Vow renewals

There is nothing more beautiful than to witness two souls reaffirm their commitment for each other. Like all ceremonies, this is a momentous occasion that can be as big or small as you like.

My husband and I said our ‘I dos’ in April 2019, which was all seamlessly put together by this wonderful lady. Our ceremony was everything we imagined. Kerrie’s relaxed and warm demeanour enabled us to feel so comfortable leading up to our day. She bent over backwards to ensure every part of our ceremony was exactly how we wanted and gave us plenty of guidance when we merely had no clue. As the ceremony began we instantly felt relaxed standing next to kerrie. We loved that our ceremony encapsulated everything about us, our story and even had a little room for some great humour. We highly recommend this wonderful woman and what she does. Someone so bubbly, warm and approachable yet very professional all in one. Thanks so much again Kerrie.

Kerrie was the perfect celebrant for us. She made the pre wedding organisation feel easy, made my husband and I feel comfortable and was available to answer any questions we had at any time. We had a small intimate wedding of 30 people and Kerrie fit in seamlessly, feeling like one of the family. She had a warming and calming effect on the day that kept us relaxed, and brought a sense of humour that suited us perfectly. We would recommend Kerrie to anyone planning their big day

Jessica & Dan

Thankyou so much Kerrie you made our day even more special with your bright bubbly personality and wicked sense of humour. You helped us get through the day by minimising our nerves with just more laughing and smiling instead. Our ceremony went off with out a hitch. Kerrie really listened to what both my husband and I wanted and delivered a ceremony that was exactly that - but better!!!With you being there it felt like you were more like family to us than our celebrant and we are forever grateful for you creating us such wonderful memories Thankyou again.
