Wedding Ceremonies

Whether you are having an intimate elopement, a grand formal wedding, keeping it simple or hosting a large party, I would love to help you craft a wedding ceremony that is enjoyable, relaxed and supportive of the marriage and life you want to create together.

I offer a number of nature-immersed elopement and micro-wedding options, and as a professional musician, I also offer various musical elements to make your day extra special.

I have four wedding packages to choose from to suit different styles and budgets, and can adapt these to suit your needs.

If you are simply looking for ‘legals only’ I can help there too.

Your wedding ceremony will include:

  • The legal preparation*, lodgement and registration of your marriage with Births Deaths and Marriages, including the Official Certificate of Marriage.
  • Consultations and communication by phone, email, in person or video call. You need to feel comfortable with me and I need to get to know you and your story, and I’m happy to do this in whatever way best suits you.
  • An onsite rehearsal the day before your big day.
  • A beautiful, personalised ceremony that is a unique expression of you.
  • Ideas and inspiration for readings, rituals and resources.
  • My arrival on the day 45 minutes before your ceremony to ensure everything is in place.
  • The use of my professional PA to ensure everyone can hear every beautiful moment.

*Please note that a minimum of ONE calendar month notice is required to meet with Australian legal requirements.

Magical Musical Wedding

All my wedding ceremony inclusions plus any combination of the following:

  • Up to 3 songs sung by me as part of your wedding ceremony.
  • Evocative flute to serenade you down the aisle.
  • Let me transform your guests into a pop-up choir as part of your ceremony. Imagine your friends and family – the people who love you most – singing to you! The warmth and loving connection is almost palpable!

My professional fee for your wedding ceremony is $1,150

Bellingen Elopements & Micro-Weddings

Are you looking to create a small, intimate wedding with a minimum of fuss and stress? If you’re looking to marry in the Bellingen area, I can help you with locations and vendors to make your planning easy and your wedding day unforgettable. And, of course, I’m happy to travel to a location of your choice! My favourite elopement & micro-wedding options:

  • “Bellingen Converted Church” by the beautiful Bellinger River for up to 30 guests. Enjoy serene comfort, elegance and natural beauty just minutes from the Bellingen township. Add-ons available for accommodation and all other wedding services.
  • “Cathedral Rock Elopements” for the wild at heart. Say your vows on top of Cathedral Rock, one of the most spectacular locations in the Bellingen area. Enjoy a 3-4 hour loop hike with me, Roxy from @Chasing Sunflowers_Photography and up to 6 guests. Enjoy complimentary champagne on the rock!
  • “Never Never Elopements” by the magical Never Never River. It even sounds like a Fairy Tale! Crystal-clear water, filtered sunlight and birdsong create a dreamlike setting for your ceremony.

My professional fee for your elopement or micro-wedding from $700.

Exquisite Wedding

This is my classic wedding package. All of my wedding inclusions with none of my musical offerings, and of course, all the rituals and readings your hearts desire! Whether it’s 30 guests or 300, let’s create a ceremony full of love, joy, beauty and meaning.

My professional fee for your wedding ceremony is $900.

My ‘Legals Only’ ceremony includes:
