HI. IM BEN.
LETS GET YOU MARRIED
You're engaged, how good is that!? Now the fun begins. I would love to be the one to seal the deal on your special day.
A combination of things led me to becoming a celebrant. Firstly, I was that friend who everyone asked to be MC. Secondly, as a successful personal trainer, I could fit another job into my schedule (and I love to be busy).
Thirdly, who doesn’t love a wedding?! It’s a day all about the pair of you. Surrounded by your favourite people, everyone looking dapper, there’s food, wine, dancing, GIFTS… but most importantly there's that palpable emotion, love and happiness felt by every single person there. So here we are. You just tell me your story, and I’ll say the magic words.
TRADITIONAL
For those who plan to walk down the aisle and tie the knot in front of all of your nearest and dearest.
SAME SEX
Now that Australia has finally come to the party, I am thrilled to offer my services to legally marry any two people.
ELOPEMENTS
If a big wedding isn’t your thing, you can ditch all the extras and have an intimate ceremony with only you guys, two witnesses, and myself.
THE PROCESS
MEETING
Firstly, give me a call or email so we can arrange to meet somewhere for a coffee, beer or baked goods. We can discuss the process and some different ideas for your ceremony. I can plan it however you would like, whether chilled, sincere, light hearted, extravagant or surrounded by penguins. At the meeting we can also get a couple of documents knocked over. If you’re happy to go ahead, I’ll lock in your date once you have paid a deposit, and send you a questionnaire to help me personalise your ceremony.
THE CEREMONY
On the day, you just need to turn up looking dashing. I will provide a PA system, all of the paperwork, laughs, tears and palm cards for your vows. We can work together to cook up the perfect mix of songs, readings, stories and vows to reflect your own weird and wonderful personalities.
AFTER CEREMONY
I will lodge all documents at the government department on your behalf, to make everything official. From then on, the rest is up to the two of you.
