Maybe you are getting married abroad in Bali or Thailand and you just want someone to make it legal before or afterwards. I can help you with that.
If you book me to marry you in a "registry style'' ceremony, then it will actually cost you less than what Births, Deaths & Marriages will charge you. Currently, it's $546 on the weekend. I promise I'll do a way-better job!
The Registry Office in Newcastle closed a few years ago so you'll also save yourselves a trip to Paramatta.
Legally, you'll need to give me one month's notice so we can complete the 'Notice of Intended Marriage' paperwork within the legal time-frame.
I'll marry you for $500 AUD
(that's cheaper than the nearest Registry Office in Paramatta)
The wedding itself can take place anywhere you want- my office, your house, a restaurant, a park or even a bar.
As it's not much of an actual ceremony, we often sit down at a table to do it. One of the best weddings I did was at the Smokin Hot 'n Saucy Food Truck in Islington at lunchtime.
You need to bring two witnesses. If you want to be super spontaneous or keep your wedding on the down-low, we can just ask some passers-by to be the witnesses. You'll make their day!
.In Australian, it only takes 144 words to be married. Some people want to it to be over in 3 mins- I'm cool with that.
However, if you want, I will add some extra words so that it is more meaningful but it won't contain your love story. If you want that, you are probably after an
You can exchange rings and do personal vows too (only if you want to)

From the moment my husband and I met Julie we knew we needed her to be apart of what was going be the most important day of our lives. At every interaction Julie was so easy to deal with and extremely helpful in providing any direction with required. On the day, she was amazing. The service was everything we had hoped for and more. Through the questionnaires we completed and the face to face meetings, Julie nailed who we are as individuals and as a couple.

My husband and I could not have imagined a more perfect wedding ceremony thanks to the talent of our celebrant Julie. She is a talented writer so the ceremony she wrote for us needed minimal changes - even still she made it very clear she would be happy to make any changes for us, and even made a last minute change for us on the day. Several guests commented on how fantastic she was. I would highly recommend Julie to be part of your special day!"

Our Ceremony was everything we hoped it to be a perfect mix of love, laughter and tears and really captured the love story between James and I. So many of our guests have commented on how amazing Julie was. We can't thank Julie enough for helping us create everything we hoped our day to be. We would recommend Julie to anyone looking for a truly special celebrant.
