Who do you want to meet when you stroll down the aisle on your big day?
Of course, your partner is a given. That's the whole point, right? But, let's spice things up a bit.
Picture this: you're standing there, the love of your life at your side, and in front of you, the person who will deliver the words that create your ceremony and include your vows to each other. Now, here's the twist - do you want this person to be:
- A stranger you haven't met, armed with a set of legal jargon ready to roll. Someone who won’t tolerate any fashionable lateness unless you want to risk them leaving to go to their next ceremony and coming back to you later? OR
- A friendly face, someone who knows your story, has taken the time to get to know you both, and is ready to deliver a script so personal and memorable it will leave everyone in awe? Someone who will only have your ceremony that day, and there will be no rush. In fact if something crops up (such as a zip malfunction or favourite aunt delayed in traffic) we can wait to begin the ceremony. You may have to check with the chef though as he has timings worked out for your perfect meal!
Your wedding day is the culmination of months, sometimes years, of dreaming and planning. It's the day you celebrate the merging of two lives, surrounded by your nearest and dearest. After all, how often do you get the most important people to you both in one place at the same time? While the party is important, let's take a moment to reflect on the heart of the celebration - the ceremony itself.
Enter the celebrant, your ceremony professional, Jackie or Deb. We sit down with you, exploring every detail you might want to include in your ceremony. No restrictions, just a canvas for you to paint your love story. And guess what? As your celebrant we dedicate the entire day to you, ensuring you never feel rushed. We collaborate with your photographer/videographer to capture those perfect ceremony moments and liaise with the venue coordinator if you have one to ensure smooth sailing on the big day. We also talk to anyone taking part in the ceremony to put minds at rest (there’s often a best man or best woman fretting in the side-lines about what they are expected to do).
Now, here's a thought-provoking nugget for you: You don't expect a birth certificate in the delivery room or a death certificate at a funeral. So, why not consider separating the legal formalities from your wedding day? Give yourself the freedom to savour every moment of your ceremony, tailored exactly to your desires. We find that couples who choose a celebrant-led ceremony are just so much more relaxed on the day. They know who’s going to be at the front to meet them. They know what is going to be said. There are no awkward legal formalities and interviews on the day.
A celebrant-led ceremony is more than just words; it's an experience. It's personal. It's memorable, and it's all about you. So, as you stroll down that aisle, consider who you want standing in front of you, guiding you through the vows that will shape your forever. Cheers to celebrating love in the most authentic way possible!
