CEREMONIES, LEGAL SIGNINGS, MINI & MICRO WEDDING PACKAGES
Thoughtfully designed. deeply personal. legally sound.
When people discuss wedding planning the conversation usually circles the venue, the dress code, flowers, and the honeymoon plans.
But the wedding ceremony itself, you know, the part where you actually get married, often slips between the cracks. It’s treated as a formality, a box to tick before the party starts… when it can be so. MUCH. More.
Many couples spend months carefully choosing menus, makeup artists and photographers, yet when it comes to their wedding ceremony style or who will officiate, it becomes a last-minute scramble. And that’s usually when the midnight musings begin:
What’s the difference between a Marriage Officer, a Celebrant, and a Pastor?
Does the ceremony have to follow a set script?
How formal (or informal) can we be?
Who handles the legal paperwork and registration?
And… how on earth do we approach vows?
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
For a long time wedding ceremonies followed a very traditional format, usually led by a religious minister according to their rites or customs. Couples didn’t have much say in the tone, structure, or content, they were simply told, “This is how it’s done.”
But times have changed. And so have weddings...
Today’s couples want ceremonies that feel authentic, meaningful, personal, and true to who they are. They don't want template based 'sermons', or for the moment to be rushed through so the bar can open! They want to feel connected, present and intentional.
That’s where I come in.
I’m a registered Civil Union Marriage Officer though I prefer the title Wedding Celebrant. I write and deliver wedding ceremonies that are emotionally true and legally sound. My role is to craft a wedding ceremony that feels warm, relaxed, heartfelt, and unmistakably you, and to get your union legally registered. Expect the warm and fuzzies, and yes, a few funnies too.
At the heart of We Do Weddings is one simple belief: your wedding ceremony should feel like you.
I specialise in delivering personalised wedding ceremonies that are engaging, authentic, refreshingly cliché-free, and thoughtfully written from scratch. No template scripts. No box-ticking. Just a ceremony that reflects what your shared history and love and why you’re choosing each other.
In addition, I offer a range of thoughtfully designed intimate wedding packages to suit different couples’ styles, guest lists and budgets from quickie legal marital signings, to elopements, mini and micro wedding events. All services result in a legal marriage registered with the Dept. of Home Affairs on your behalf.
In a world that proclaims that bigger is better, your wedding day doesn't actually have to be big in guest numbers or in opulence, to be packed full of beauty and joy. An intimate elopement, mini or micro wedding with We Do Weddings gives you the unique opportunity to celebrate your love and commitment YOUR way. Micro wedding = 30 people or less.
There’s no pressure to follow tradition here (unless it genuinely floats your boat). All love is welcome. All stories matter. With me as your celebrant style Marriage Officer we’re free to create a ceremony that honours your relationship, your values, and your vision.
Dreamers, do-ers, rule breakers… Couples who live by their own values, and want to plan their nuptials accordingly...
