Ceremony Options & Pricing for 2027

A 'Legals Only' ceremony is the simplest way to get married. It includes the minimum legal wording and paperwork required by Australian law, with two witnesses over the age of 18 present. The ceremony itself takes just a few minutes and is perfect for couples who want a straightforward legal marriage, are planning a cultural celebration afterwards, or are heading overseas for their wedding and would like their marriage legally registered in Australia.

For the couple & up to 10 guests maximum. Collaborating with a talented team of professionals, I can offer a package held in the private BTTC garden (Greenbank) that includes a pre-written ceremony script (or personalised script option), printed vow cards, confetti, mini cake or cupcakes, tea, coffee & water, crockery & cutlery supplied along with other finishing touches. Adding to that, memories of your day are captured by a photographer with images made available via an online gallery.

This is for couples who are planning more of a traditional big day event, with a fully personalised ceremony script, maybe additional elements such as a handfasting or a ritual that gives a nod to your culture, a large wedding party to co-ordinate and all the essentials like an onsite rehearsal and even a signing table if the venue doesn't provide one. 50km of travel from Greenbank to the venue is included, over 50km will incur an additional fee for both rehearsal and event day.

A Tandem Ceremony allows you to have the best of both worlds — a wedding ceremony led by someone who knows and loves you, combined with the confidence that all legal requirements are being handled by an authorised celebrant. Your chosen friend or family member will create and present the ceremony in their own unique style, sharing your story and guiding the celebration. I will manage all of the legal paperwork and officiate the legal components required to make your marriage official.

Thinking of secretly eloping on top of a mountain somewhere in Tassie, a big day celebration with absolutely everything included, a vow renewal to commemorate a special anniversary, welcoming a baby into the family fold, or celebrating a new name; if the mentioned options don't quite fit what you are looking for then I'm happy to chat about tailoring something specific just for you.

There's so much that goes into creating a ceremony and some of it is hard to put into words, but I will give it a go below. I would love to meet you both in person, fill you in on the bigger picture and answer all of your questions to help with your decision making.
