Marriages and all Special Ceremonies: Penrith Valley, Blue Mountains & Sydney

Weddings

Where To Begin:

I recognize that creating and arranging a ceremony can take up a great deal of your time, so I am quite flexible in time and place. We can arrange to meet in my office in Leonay, your home or another place of your choosing, with times to suit.

At our initial meeting, I will outline my services and how I can guide you through creating a ceremony of your choice. I will provide you with my Marriage Ceremony Manual, an easy to follow guide, which contains:

• Helpful advice and ideas.
• Readings, vows, poems, giving-aways, exchange of rings etc.
• Special inclusions such as rose and candle ceremonies.
• 12 step Ceremony Building Plan
• Suggestions for music.

My Services Include:

• Guidelines for creating your wedding ceremony.
• All meetings, phone calls and emails.
• Assistance with completion of all legal paperwork.
• Lodgment and registration of all legal documentation.
• My travel costs within 100 kilometers of the Sydney Town Hall.
• Table and 2 chairs in white, at the ceremony for the signing of official paperwork.
• Marriage Certificate.
• Official marriage certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriage, upon registration.
• Specially presented memento copy of your wedding ceremony.
• Portable P.A. system.

Legal Requirements:

• A Notice Of Intended Marriage form (NOIM) is required to be completed by the couple, with the celebrant witnessing all official documents and signatures. The NOIM must be completed within 18 months of your proposed wedding date but no later than one month & one day.
• A Birth Certificate if you were born in Australia, or a current Passport or Naturalization Certificate if you were born overseas. For persons who have previously been married - a Divorce Decree Absolute is necessary and if your previous partner is now deceased, an official Death Certificate is required.
• The permission of a parent or guardian with court approval if you are under 18; in some cases, just court approval is sufficient. All documentation must be in English (if not, an official translator is required to translate information accompanied by a signed a statutory declaration).
• Two witnesses (who are over 18 years of age).
