A Simple, Intimate Ceremony for Your Special Day
First things first — congrats, you’re getting married! 🎉 That’s huge. And honestly, just reaching out is a win — sometimes that’s the hardest step (well, aside from agreeing on the guest list 😉).
Right now, you’re probably riding the rollercoaster of excitement, mixed with a little overwhelm, a dash of budget stress, and maybe wondering, “Wait… what actually goes into a marriage ceremony?” Don’t worry — you’re not the only ones. Almost every couple starts out feeling exactly the same way.
That’s where I come in. My job is to take away the stress, guide you through the legal bits, and help you create a ceremony that feels totally you. You’ve said you want something low-key, which is perfect — but low-key doesn’t have to mean saying ‘I do’ in a city office between 10 am and 4 pm. You can have a relaxed, personal ceremony in your favourite park, a gorgeous garden, or even in your own backyard. The best part? It’s completely your choice.
Let’s ensure your wedding ceremony is exactly the way you’ve dreamed — stress-free and full of love. To get a better sense of me and my voice, please click on the link below to view two of my videos.
What your micro wedding ceremony package includes
My 13 years and over 650+ ceremonies of experience, knowledge and expertise.
• One meeting over Zoom to complete the legal paperwork and site legal documentation. We must complete your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) at least 1 month before your marriage ceremony date. I must also see your ID, such as a birth certificate and passport. This is all done over video chat.
• A short but sweet ceremony that expresses the importance of marriage in a relaxed and easy style. You can pick from 4 different ceremony wording templates for your ceremony that I have crafted.
• I will perform your ceremony at the agreed time and location within the Adelaide metro area with a maximum of 10 guests. This doesn't include you both! So it's 10 guests plus the couple. If you require more travel, we can talk further about those details and what will be charged for travel. You will need at least 2 witnesses at your ceremony over the age of 18. They don't need to be Australian Citizens, but they must speak and understand English. I can supply 2 witnesses for a fee if you require this. Please let me know at time of booking.
• Use any of my 4 signing pens when completing your marriage certificate after the ceremony.
• Lodgement of all necessary legal documents (NOIM, Form 14 & 16) with Birth, Deaths and Marriages. Plus, I include a detailed list of organisations where you will need to change your name after marriage and how to apply for your marriage certificate from Births, Deaths, and Marriages once married.
The cost for me to perform your elopement/Mirco-style legal wedding ceremony is in the Adelaide Metro Area-
$550 10 am-3 pm Monday to Friday
$650 After 3 pm Monday to Thursday
$750 After 3 pm on Friday through to Sunday night (In the next 3 months)
My ceremony prices are all-inclusive. To secure your booking, payment is due within 48 hours of confirming your ceremony. Travel outside the Adelaide Metro Area isn’t included, but we can easily chat through that if it applies.
Please note that a Monday to Friday, 10.15 AM- 4 PM, Birth, Deaths, and Marriages ceremony is $436 and only at their BDM city office building. You also have to book 3-6 months in advance as their times are limited.
Please note: For a full peak-season wedding (September–May), which includes 2–3 in-person meetings, a full rehearsal at your venue, use of my professional PA system, and a completely tailored ceremony written by me (with support in crafting and printing your vows), my standard full rate is $1,600. If you’d like to go ahead with this option, please follow this link.
For a fully tailored wedding ceremony during peak season, my standard fee is $1,600. This includes 2–3 in-person meetings, including an on-site rehearsal. A completely personalised written ceremony with your personally printed keepsake vows, and a full on-site rehearsal at your ceremony location. There is no guest limit. On the day, I arrive one hour before the ceremony and stay for approximately 30 minutes afterwards. I provide my professional-grade LD Systems Ultra-Portable Column PA System for ceremony music and sound, and I dress in formal wedding attire to suit your wedding setting. None of this is included in the above quote.
I also have a package available for $1,100, which may suit you better. This package allows up to 30 people and includes the use of my PA and me printing your personal vows. Plus one video meeting and one in-person meeting.
