Ceremony Venue
Approximate number of Guests
If you have any children (or pets!) that you'd like me to know about who will be present, please provide their names and approximate ages.
Will the ceremony be held:
During the ceremony, will your guests be:
What is the dress code for your ceremony?
Does your venue have a signing table?
Does your venue have a PA system?
What kind of music will be played during your ceremony?
Will you two be doing a "First Look"?
Please tick the closest option/s.
What is the name of your photographer and videographer, if known?
How many people, if any, are in your wedding party and will be standing beside you during the ceremony? Please give numbers for each of you.
What is the general colour palette of the ceremony area, if any? Eg. if there will be flowers on the wall behind you, what colour are they?
If you have any requests about what colour or vibe my outfit is, please put it here. Don't feel awkward asking! I get that for some people the colour matching & visuals are important. If it helps, I have plenty of greens, dark reds, blues, black, and pinks.
Examples: Anything green, a gently corporate look to distinguish you from the guests, please avoid anything in the pink colour palette because that's what the bridesmaids are wearing, we're really not fussed, just don't wear white! etc.
Where would you like me to stand during your ceremony?
People are often unsure of this so what I would advise is: celebrant usually begins in the centre, then moves to the side during your vows, ring exchange, kiss, and presentation of couple. Basically, I begin in between you for the intro and "love story", then move to the side for the back end of the ceremony.
Would you like to have an Acknowledgement of Country in the ceremony?
What wording to refer to you both would you prefer during the ceremony?
Any housekeeping notices you'd like me to open or close with? Eg. no photos during ceremony/photos are ok/no sharing on socials, group photos, throwing of petals, etc.
Who, and in what order, will be coming down the aisle at the start of the ceremony?
Once the two of you are in position to begin the ceremony, would you like to give your guests a "photo op", where I invite people to spend 10 seconds taking photos of you before their phones GO AWAY?
Is there anyone special that you would like me to acknowledge in the introduction who can't be present on the day, or who IS present but you want to specially acknowledge them for coming? Eg. a parent who has passed away, family members who couldn't make it from overseas, friends who travelled halfway across the world to make it.
If you would like me to acknowledge your wedding parties in the introductory part of the ceremony, please provide details for this below:
Eg. "A particular welcome to Steve, Rob, and Brett, Sam's oldest friends..." or "Casey is so grateful to have her sisters and best friend beside her today. Ruby has been the voice of support, Hannah the voice of reason, and Charlie the voice of no restraint!"
Will you be including personal vows during the ceremony?
Who would like to read their vows out first during the ceremony? If you're feeling spontaneous, you can do something fun like a Scissors, Paper Rock, thumb war, or have everyone in the crowd vote, rather than choose beforehand who will go first.
Will you be exchanging rings during the ceremony?
If so, what is the name of your ring bearer?
How would you like the first kiss to be worded? Eg. "You may now kiss each other!", "You may now kiss the bride/groom!", "You may now share your first kiss as a married couple!"
Is there anything else you can think of to do with the ceremony that you'd like to mention or request?
Would you like me to apply for your Legal Marriage Certificate on your behalf when I lodge your marriage with the Births, Deaths & Marriages office? (It's not a requirement to have a copy of this, but you'll need it if you intend to take your partner's surname after marriage. You can also apply for & pay for this yourselves at a later date if you change your mind). Please note that this will incur an additional cost of $66 ($55.80 for the certificate and $10.20 shipping within Australia, so none of this is going into my pocket, it's strictly admin fees for the BDM).
NOTE: If you intend to change names, you will need a copy of the legal marriage certificate to do so.
If you answered Yes to Legal Certificate, please type below the address you would like it to be sent to via the post.
Lastly, do you give permission for me to use your wedding photos on my website/socials?
I won't use images with children's faces in them unless discussed first.
