Formal or informal? Overlooking the vineyards? At a lovely restaurant? In a floral garden? At home? The choice is yours.

A civil marriage ceremony, whilst remaining in accordance with the laws of Australia, may be performed in practically any setting and could be a small intimate affair or the gala wedding you have always dreamed of.

Your marriage ceremony may take the form of a relaxed and simple service in a private home or you may require a larger, more formal ceremony at a traditional wedding venue, such as a Hunter Valley wedding chapel.

Most importantly, the occasion should reflect how you feel toward each other and bring emphasis to what is important in your union to make it a truly joyful and memorable experience.

Your ceremony may take one of many forms, or you may like to blend them, with numerous choices of content being available and combining these options will give you almost limitless choices.

You may include your choice of marriage vows, poetry, prose or personal message of celebration, music of your choice and you may also like to incorporate family friends by way of, for example, readings, poetry, religious passages.

Popular wedding traditions like Unity candles, Hand fasting and/or other ethnic, cultural and spiritual segments of your choice can be part of your wedding.

I will set aside as much time as you need to discuss and listen to your wishes and ideas and I encourage you to have as much input as you desire. The fee structure includes all of this.

I have an abundance of samples and material available, you can choose from an array of poems or readings, or create your own special words (or a combination of both). Either way I will help and guide you in the design of your Personalised Ceremony.

A sample ceremony for you to read. There are other sample ceremonies on New Words for Weddings.
