All couples receive a comprehensive Wedding tool kit with various Wedding Ceremonies and a comprehensive range of Wedding Vows, Ring Exchanges, verse and poems to choose from. I have a state of the art PA system I use depending on the location and the amount of guests on the day.

Commitment Ceremonies

A commitment ceremony is often very similar to many other kinds of weddings. The difference is that rather than being a legally binding ceremony, it is simply a public affirmation of a couple’s commitment to one another.

A commitment ceremony may be religious or secular, formal and traditional or loose and unstructured. The makeup of the ceremony will depend on the personal preferences of you the couple.

I can work with you to incorporate a beautiful sand, rose, handbinding ritual of your choice into your ceremony, you may have a special reading, poem or song you would like to include; I have a variety for you to choose from that will help make your day a memorable one in this next journey of your life together.

Vow Renewal

For a variety of reasons, couples may decide to renew or reaffirm previously said vows.
The marriage may have taken place interstate or overseas and the couple wish to share the occasion amongst those who couldn’t be present.

Significant wedding anniversaries are also wonderful occasions to celebrate with a reaffirmation ceremony.

A certificate, together with a bound copy of your ceremony will be presented to you as a memento of the day.

Naming Ceremonies

Historically speaking, naming ceremonies go back to ancient Greek and Roman times. Renowned scholars tell us that a child was not a member of the family until he/she had been officially welcomed into the family through a naming ceremony. It is not a legally binding ceremony.

It is a fulfilling and meaningful experience for all concerned. 

Sometimes called a secular christening or a name ceremony, it is an occasion where a new birth is celebrated and a child is welcomed into the family. In doing so, family relationships are deepened and parents become more aware of their responsibilities. So too, do the grandparents and godparents/mentors/guardians.
