PA System and Ceremony Music

My Bluetooth PA system and microphone are included in the Short and Sweet and Fully Bespoke packages and are available for Petite Legals Only ceremonies for an additional $50.

If you would like music during your ceremony, please organise three songs:

• Entrance Song: As you walk down the aisle.

• Signing Song: While signing your marriage documents.

• Recessional Song: As you make your exit as a married couple.

You will need to nominate a family member, friend or designated person to operate your chosen music.

If required I will provide a ceremony music schedule so your nominated person knows when each song is to be played.

Please note: My role is to concentrate on delivering your marriage ceremony, so I do not personally operate, start, stop or manage ceremony music.

All music must be organised, tested and ready to play through a compatible Bluetooth device before the ceremony begins.
You may wish to have live music please have your musicians supply your music choices to me so the flow of the ceremony is coordinated.

Official Marriage Certificate

The commemorative Marriage Certificate you receive on the day is a keepsake and is different from the Official Marriage Certificate issued by NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages.

You can order your official certificate directly from BDM after your marriage has been registered or have me arrange it for the optional fee of $105.

If ordering it yourself, you will be responsible for your application and any follow-up with BDM.

Travel and Additional Fees

Travel within 30 km of Kurmond is included in all packages.

Additional travel beyond 30 km is charged at $2.50 per kilometre.

Any applicable tolls, parking, venue hire or council permit fees are the responsibility of the couple.

Additional charges will be discussed before your booking is finalised.

Rituals and Personal Touches

Would you like to include something a little different?

Depending on your chosen package, options may include handfasting, sand ceremonies, unity candles, ring warming, tree planting, remembrance tributes and more.

I'm always happy to discuss your ideas and help make your ceremony meaningful.

Some rituals may require additional materials, venue approval or extra fees.
