Marriage celebrant for beautiful and relaxed weddings across Sydney and New South Wales
Meet Sara
Hello there! I love collaborating with couples to help them plan their wedding ceremony. Since 2010, I’ve been marrying couples all over Sydney and New South Wales.
My style is relaxed, and without losing sight that you’re making important lifelong promises to each other. Each ceremony is written together with you, sharing my experience and knowledge of the legals, together with your preferences for style and manner.
Am I the right celebrant for your day? Let’s find out! I’d love to chat, meet up in person or online and learn about the vision for your day.
Getting married is a such a beautiful celebration, and you should feel comfortable in my company and safe in the knowledge that I know what I’m doing.
I offer a flexible, all-inclusive package to help make your day streamlined and easy. I’m familiar with many wedding venues across Sydney, and happy to travel far and wide to help share the love of your special day.
The Process
1. Getting Started
The primary piece of paperwork to get the ball rolling is the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) and is to be filled out one month, or a maximum of 18 months prior to your marriage. I have hard copies or you can download it from the Attorney General’s website here
2. The Lead Up
I will give you some reading material. Part of my legal obligation is to hand you Happily Ever... Before and After, an information leaflet for couples who intend to marry. I will also give you information on the Code of Practice for Marriage Celebrants, which states I must tell you How to Make a Complaint.
The Declaration of No Impediment to Marriage needs to be signed before your ceremony, this can be at a rehearsal or even on the day.
3. On The Day
On the day you will require two witnesses, both over 18 to sign 3 marriage certificates. Usually the couple chooses one witness each. You get to keep the posh Certificate of Marriage. It is a legal document and absolute proof of marriage so put it somewhere safe.
4. After The Ceremony
Following the ceremony I submit your completed paperwork to the relevant state Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages. In NSW using the online portal I can apply for a standard Certificate of Marriage on your behalf and I can advise you of this cost.
