CEREMONIES & SERVICES

As a modern-day celebrant, I’m free of rules and tradition.  I am open to ideas, and it’s my job to create a ceremony that’s right for you and your beliefs, inclusive of race, religion or lifestyle.  From a classic ceremony with a twist to something more daring, your wedding is what you want it to be, and I’m here to inspire, guide and support you on this journey.

I’m passionate about getting to know people and their story.  A wedding is the beginning of a new chapter in your life, and as your celebrant, I’d be honoured to be part of that story.  I look forward to meeting you.

GET MARRIED IN SIX EASY STEPS

STEP ONE

When we first meet, you can throw as many questions at me as you like, to decide if I’m the guy for you. I can show how it all works and let you know what you need to start thinking about.

STEP TWO

Once booked: lucky you! I will complete all the legal stuff for you and just show you where to sign.

STEP THREE

Over a drink, you can tell me just how this journey of yours flowed and your thoughts on one another.   I’ll write a personal wedding script detailing the ‘who, what, when’ of your ceremony.

STEP FOUR

We can run through everything at a wedding rehearsal so that you’re more at ease on the big day.

STEP FIVE

Using my own professional sound gear, I ensure that all of your wedding guests can clearly hear and enjoy the bespoke, real warm ceremony that you have imagined.

Why I believe a wedding ceremony is the most important part of your day.

Before my own wedding, I can tell you that my experience of wedding ceremonies could be described as either: forgettable or cringe-inducing. Sadly this was all too common until I had my own little personal moment of enlightenment!

I discovered something when my wife and I got married - that the ceremony can be both amazingly awesome and the highlight of the day.

This experience taught me what a great ceremony can do for a wedding. It sets the vibe of the day and it engages all of your guests. But most importantly it truly ensures that your wedding is a proper celebration of the one thing that matters above everything else - how much you bloody love each other!

How it all works from here

STEP 1: LET'S MEET

I like to keep the process nice and easy, if you want to know more about my views on weddings and why I became a celebrant we can set-up a completely obligation free meeting.

If we're a good match for each other and you want to proceed...that's music to my ears and we will lock your date in!

STEP 2: LET'S CREATE YOUR WEDDING

We will sit down together over a coffee (or something similar if that's your tipple...it might be mine!) and we will create your ceremony as a team. It's my job to guide you through the process, but ultimately we will create your wedding, how you had always wanted it to be.

We can meet us much as you like to make your wedding happen...there are no additional or hidden charges.

STEP 3: LET'S MAKE A WEDDING

This is the best part...we make you wife and husband, husband and wife, wife and wife or husband and husband or spouse and spouse!

It is my job to make this the best day ever for you, your guests and whoever else is involved in the wedding. I love weddings, they are the best moments in the world!

CEREMONIES

Behind every wedding is a unique couple.  A wedding looks different for every couple.   If you and your guests are able to walk away having laughed, cried and really enjoyed yourselves and are looking forward to the celebrations, then I know I have done my job.

ELOPEMENTS

Having a big wedding is not for everyone. If you are looking for a meaningful way to commit to one another without all the fuss, maybe eloping with just a few of your closest family and friends is the perfect way for you to start your married life.

Stand-up Wedding Celebrant Melbourne 

paulbonadio.com

417502921

My name’s Paul and I’m a full-time celebrant based in Collingwood, Melbourne. 

I’ll be flat-out honest with you – I have selfish reasons for wanting to be your celebrant. 

I dig the stage. As a stand-up comedian I’ve been lucky enough to support the likes of Fiona O’Loughlin and Dave O’Neil. Getting up on stage scares a lot of people. Understandably so. I love it. It’s a thrill.

I love writing. I’m a natural storyteller and have written features for Bernard Fanning, Jimmy Barnes, The Rubens and Gareth Liddiard (excuse me while I pick those names up off the floor).

As a celebrant I get to combine those two things. 

For me that’s like hitting a triple-word score with two q’s and a z. It’s like slapping down a draw-four wildcard. It’s like finding the Gameboy key in A*mazing. It’s like beating Rainbow Road on Mario Kart. It’s like… you get the picture.

I’m Melbourne based. I live in Collingwood but can travel from the Peninsula to the Yarra Valley to Geelong. I do weddings in Melbourne. I live in Melbourne. I’m repeating the word Melbourne because it’s great for Google search. 

I have some cool features like 'Pimp My Celebrant' - it lets you choose exactly what you want me to wear! I also have more than 100 five-star reviews over on my Easy Weddings page.

I want to be at your wedding and create a ceremony your guests won’t stop talking about. I want to write about how you met, what you enjoy about each other and why one of you snores like a German trooper.

I can’t build a cupboard. I’m awful at fractions. I barely know how to cook a jaffle.

The things you are passionate about in life are the things you do best. 

This is what I do best.

 

Sally Hughes Marriage Celebrant Melbourne 

celebrantsallyhughes.com.au

414281615

I am a full-time Civil Celebrant, occasional classical singer, former business banker and happily married mother of two little girls.  As a wedding singer for over fifteen years I had the privilege of witnessing hundreds of ceremonies, however it wasn't until I was nearing the end of maternity leave with my first daughter that it occurred to me to make a career shift to celebrancy.

Observing hundreds of priests and celebrants for over a decade gave me a rare insight into how ceremonies were typically structured and presented. I had always held strong opinions about what I did and didn't like and how, given the chance, I would write and present ceremonies.  My "Ah-ha! moment" arrived whilst sitting in a chapel pew.  The following week I enrolled to become a celebrant and have never looked back.

I pride myself on delivering highly personalised and engaging ceremonies as I'm a firm believer that ceremonies should never be considered merely the "necessary part of the day". They should be interactive, interesting, enjoyable and memorable for both you and your guests.

I am friendly, attentive, organised and professional and my considerable experience in performance and public speaking ensures that I will deliver an engaging ceremony which reflects your personalities, values and vision.

I’ll never take for granted how fortunate I am to be invited into people’s lives and entrusted with such an important and very rewarding responsibility.  I get the best seat in the house and I’m so grateful for that!

Please contact me at any time to see if I'm available on your wedding day.  If so, I'd love to meet you for a drink and a chat.

FULL SERVICE MARRIAGE CEREMONY

• An initial, obligation-free meeting to listen to your ideas and discuss how we can create a bespoke ceremony together.

• A second meeting, during which we will discuss the first draft of your ceremony and attend to the lodgement of the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM). I will also need to sight the identification documents relevant to your circumstances. Shortly after the second meeting, I will email you the first draft of your ceremony. We can meet again to discuss or correspond as often as you like via Skype, email or telephone. The choice is yours.
• A final meeting at my home office or at the venue (venue permitting) in the days prior to your ceremony.

I believe ceremonies set the scene for the celebrations ahead, and it's my mission to have every guest smiling, laughing and maybe even shedding a tear.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

It's important to have an initial chat to see if I'm the right celebrant for you. It's obligation-free and I'm available for face to face meetings, skype/facetime calls or even just a quick chat over the phone.

ACCESS TO THE CEREMONY BASICS LIBRARY

I will provide you with online access to my ceremony basics to help you work out the structure of your ceremony. The majority will be custom written by me though.

HOMEWORK

My ceremonies require both you and your partner to fill out a questionnaire.... separately! This will allow me to get some more insight into your relationship which will assist me in the writing process. It's only 8 questions and best to have some fun with it!

DRAFT CEREMONY

You can choose to receive a draft of your ceremony or just wing it on the day! I am VERY experienced so you can have full trust in me to create something fun, emotive and unique to your relationship!

SECOND MEETING

During the second meeting we will go through the ceremony structure, discuss music requirements, any other inclusions and also begin the legal paperwork.

ON THE DAY

I arrive at your venue nice and early to set up and after that you will usually find me organising with venue staff, chatting to guests and creating a great atmosphere..

AFTER THE CEREMONY

This is not the last you have heard from me! I will register your marriage and lodge all original paperwork with births,deaths and marriages. I will notify you once everything is complete (usually 4-6 weeks afterwards).

FOLLOW UP

I will send you a follow up email with detailed instructions on how to obtain your original legal marriage certificate from the BDM office.

My main objective is to discover what is most important to you, then turn that into a relaxed fun and memorable ceremony; one that reflects you and your lifestyle. 

I love getting to know you, hearing how you met and what your hopes are for the future. We will talk through your ideas for the ceremony.

On the big day itself, I will keep you calm and as you make your vows.

SAME-SEX WEDDINGS

I have always been a passionate supporter of marriage equality.

With the recent 'YES' vote and changes to the Australian 'Marriage Act,'  I am thrilled to be able to finally & legally marry my same-sex couples.

FUNERAL CELEBRANT

One of the most rewarding roles I have is conducting funerals. Saying farewell to a loved one is incredibly sad but brings with it the opportunity to celebrate life and convey how much they were loved.

Contact me here to talk about how I can help you arrange a funeral.

I like to make the process as collaborative as possible, that way it’ll be the truest representation of the two of you.

A winning wedding ceremony is an honest reflection of who you are day to day. It allows everyone to have a few laughs (with you, not at you), and is an engaging and heartfelt experience that your guests feel a part of! It raises the energy in the room and leaves everyone feeling privileged to have been invited in to that moment with you.

Planning a wedding can be busy and high-pressure.

Ceremony planning should be the opposite:

• It is a chance to reflect on what brought you to this place.
• And where you want to go together in the future.
• It shouldn’t feel like work.
• It should be fun, a little revealing & very insightful.

Amongst the busyness that is planning your wedding, ceremony planning is a chance to pause and reflect on why you chose each other and get excited for the day ahead.

Your wedding should be:

• Fun and easy
• Calm and authentic
• Organised and individual

I am Melbourne based – but love to road trip to scenic locations!

If this sounds like the way you’d like to collaborate, then please get in touch. I look forward to connecting with you.

The things you need to know.....

The legal work

There is a legal requirement under the Marriage Act that at least one month notice and no longer than 18 months is given for you to be married. The form to use is the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) and you can download the form HERE. The form must reach me no later than one month before the wedding.  For example, if we receive the form on September 15th you can be married anytime from October 15th onwards. If you need to apply for your marriage to be conducted within this one month timeframe please telephone me urgently as we must make application to the Registrar of Births Deaths and Marriages and seek permission to conduct the wedding.  I have successfully obtained permission many times and can assist you to conduct the ceremony if less than one months notice is required.

The photo gallery

You will see that I have a style at every wedding.  I am always suited and always wear a black suit. I never wear a blue suit as often the groom and groomsmen are wearing one. Just 1 of the 101 things I show you I do that makes me a standout celebrant. 

How much does it cost?

Often I am less than the cost of your cars, and the flowers and I try and make my weddings affordable to everyone.  I am certainly great value for the amount of time that goes into making your wedding special and couples have commented on that in their testimonials.  There is about 20-30 hours work in most weddings. Click here to see the ceremony fee and everything that is included.  Remember, without a great celebrant, you are just having an expensive party.

FAQ's

There are so many things I do to help your day run smoothly, from escorting the mother of the bride down the aisle, (if she wishes) to re-pinning the groom's flower as it has slipped sideways. Have a read of the most frequently asked questions here and if I have not answered anything you need to know, send me an email or pick up the phone.  I am one of your greatest resources when it comes to your ceremony.

How to Choose a Wedding Celebrant

Recommendations from Friends and Family

A wedding celebrant can’t just sound good on paper. They need to have the right personality and the right presence in order to bring your ceremony to life! If you want to know exactly how a celebrant works on the day, you’ll need to ask the people who have had first-hand experience with them.

Start your celebrant search by asking any recently married friends and family for their recommendations based on their own wedding experiences. Ask for their honest opinion on everything, from their personality on the day along with the behind-the-scenes organisation, planning and communication.

Wedding Fairs

Attending a wedding fair should be your next step to scouting the perfect celebrant. Yes, there are plenty of online directories and the right celebrant could just be a Google search away – but a wedding fair actually allows you to meet and chat with celebrants in person. This is invaluable when you think about how personal and intimate their role really is for your big day.

With many local wedding fairs operating annually, use this as an opportunity to chat to some celebrants and see how you communicate with each other. Do you feel relaxed, comfortable and confident? Or is it awkward and tense? Use these wedding fairs to find a celebrant you really click with in person.

Use your venue choice as a guide

If you are still unsure about the type of ceremony you’d like, use your venue as a guide. Have you chosen an outside wedding, a tipi wedding or perhaps a ceremony on a beach or farm? Any outdoor wedding requires a Celebrant with either a strong voice or a microphone system to cope with nature and different acoustics!

Ask your favourite Celebrants to talk about their experience with the type of ceremony you’d like and for ideas. A good Celebrant will get your creative juices flowing and give you a taster of what they can offer! The best bit about having a Celebrant led ceremony, is there are no limitations at all!

Read the reviews

It’s great when Celebrants have reviews. You can learn a lot about them by reading through the real-life reviews and also by reviewing the reviewer! The couples that left the review and their venue choice will give you a good insight into the Celebrant’s style and flexibility.

Personalising your Ceremony

There are many truly special ways to personalise your Wedding Ceremony. From sand ceremonies to handfastings and many more, with the support and guidance from your Celebrant, you can include a unique symbolic addition if you’d like to. Some Celebrants specialise in this, so when reviewing profiles, take extra care to spot what they have experience with, or make it one of your questions when asking for more information.

You may also want to include religious content, or something faith-based. Your ideal Celebrant will either have experience of this or be willing to be guided by your choices and influences as the process will be two way and you will work as a team to make the ceremony perfect!

The choices are endless when it comes to personalisation, which is why you have chosen a Celebrant who can offer total flexibility to deliver a unique ceremony.

Get in there early

Celebrants get booked up fast, especially good Celebrants. Ensure you leave plenty of time to book in a consultation and pencil in a date. The last thing you want to do is find the perfect Celebrant that is already booked for your date!

The Celebrant Directory offers an availability calendar, but it's worth contacting the Celebrant from the site should you find your perfect match that doesn’t appear to be available, as you or they may have some flexibility with dates or times.
