FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
Planning a wedding can be hard, I get it. You've got a million questions and don't know where to even begin! Here's a list of all the things I get asked...
Do you love being a celebrant?
I get asked all the time why I chose to become a celebrant and if I love it. My answer is always abso-freaking-lutely!! I absolutely adore being a celebrant. You can find out why right here.
What will it cost me to get married?
​Weddings can be expensive I know, and the budget you started with is probably blowing out before your eyes. You can totally choose a celebrant who will get you legally married for probably considerably less than what I charge, but I truly value the ceremony and the experience I provide for my couples, which is why I feel confident charging that little bit extra. Get in touch with me for a customised quote.
Can we negotiate on price?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but no I will not negotiate on my price. I put my heart and soul into my couples and their weddings, I get to know them, I work really hard to create and deliver a ceremony truly personalised to them.
Do you have a PA and microphone?
We've all been to a wedding where the sound quality was so bad that no one could hear a thing *shudder* I've invested in a BOSE S1 Pro PA System - it's the bomb diggity - no one will be missing the vows at one of my ceremonies.
Can we play music through your speaker?
Absolutely. If you don't have live musicians to play for your ceremony then I can control and play the music for you on the day.
Do you provide a signing table?
I don't provide a table for signing. Often couples choose not to include the 'signing' as part of the ceremony so we don't need anything too formal. Most venues include a setting for ceremonies, or you can easily add on a small table to furniture hire if you are organising ceremony chairs.
Do you help writing vows?
There are zero rules when it comes to personal vows. I am your ultimate wing woman in crafting the perfect vows to share on the day.
What time do you arrive for weddings?
I commit to being at your wedding location for 2 hours, that's 1 hour before the ceremony is due to start to set up, say hello to your guests and make sure everyone is comfortable with their roles. Then we generally allow 30 minutes for the ceremony, then a final half hour to snap congratulate you, pack up my gear and leave you to celebrate the night away.
Do you travel?
I am based in the beautiful Hawkesbury area and perform a lot of weddings in the surrounding Blue Mountains. As someone who loved her 20's living in the city, any excuse to go back to Sydney is high on my list, and if you're getting married up or down the coast, just hit me up for a quote.
Do you share the full transcript of the ceremony before the day?
This one is a controversial one! There are two camps of celebrants (those that share and those that don't). I'm a bit of a fence sitter. I normally suggest not sharing, as I prefer to get your authentic reactions on the day (and make sure your photographer is ready to capture them!) BUT if you're a nervous nelly and would feel more comfortable knowing what I'm going to say then of course I'm happy to share.
Is a rehearsal included?
I don't normally suggest rehearsals, as to be honest - it's not a performance. I will be there on the day to show everyone where to stand, and chat to any speakers to put them at ease. I do catch up with you in the week leading up to the wedding to just run through all the details again and make sure everything is on track.
