My toxic trait is giving you ALL the info!
I might go overboard, but hey, it’s all the good stuff you didn’t even know you needed.
Let’s get you one step closer to your epic day!
-
As soon as you can, legend! My calendar fills up fast - sometimes 18 months to 2 years in advance, especially during peak wedding seasons. If you’ve got a date locked in, let’s secure it before someone else sweeps in!
-
You bet! I can keep the good vibes rolling right through the night. From hyping up your entrances to coordinating speeches and keeping the dance floor packed, I’ll make sure your reception is unforgettable.
As your MC, I’ll craft a detailed run sheet that keeps everything on track, liaise with your vendors to make sure we’re all in sync, and act as your timekeeper so nothing feels rushed—or drags on. I’m also your crowd wrangler, nerve calmer, and ultimate hype gal, making sure every moment feels seamless and fun while you soak up the celebration of a lifetime!
-
Absolutely! Weddings can add up, so I’m happy to offer flexible payment plans to make things easier. Typically, I split payments into three:
A 30% non-refundable booking fee to secure your date.
A 50% planning payment around 4-6 months out from your wedding.
The final 20% payment, due 1 month before your big day.
BUT if your budget needs a bit more wiggle room, we can break it into extra instalments - no worries at all! I’m all about making the journey to the arbour as stress-free as possible, so whatever I can do to ease the pinch, I’ve got you covered!
-
Absolutely! Love knows no bounds, and neither do I. Whether it’s a dreamy destination, down south or somewhere off the beaten path, I’m there for it. Travel fees will apply, so contact me for a custom quote.
-
Absolutely! I take care of all the paperwork, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. From lodging your NOIM to submitting your marriage registration after the cermeony, it’s all part of the package. You just need to show up, sign on the dotted line, and say 'I do'!
-
Heck yes they are - because no two couples are the same! I work with you to make sure your ceremony is exactly what you want - nothing more, nothing less. Every single script is crafted from scratch, and this is where I bring my creative flair to the table to dream up something unique that truly screams you.
We’ll catch up in person so I can really get to know you, and I’ll also have you fill out a love story questionnaire. Together, we’ll map out a ceremony that feels just right - packed with all the special touches that make it unapologetically yours.
-
This is where the magic begins! I start with my Love Story Questionnaire - packed with fun, thought-provoking questions designed to uncover the quirks, milestones, and magic that make your relationship one of a kind. From how you met to the inside jokes only you two understand, it’s my way of diving into your world.
But it doesn’t stop there! I’m a total sentimental sucker, so I also love sitting down with you (over a bevvy, of course) to hear all the juicy details in person. Every laugh, every heartfelt moment, every OMG-that’s-so-them story gets woven into your ceremony, making it a true reflection of your love and everything that makes you you. It’s about bringing all the feels, from belly laughs to happy tears, and creating something your guests will rave about for years to come.
-
Totally fine, that’s exactly what I’m here for. Most couples have never done this before, so it’s my job to guide you through the unknowns and make the whole process easy, fun, and exciting.
Once you book, I’ll send you a welcome pack with a timeline of what to expect, along with some stellar vendor recommendations to get you on the right track. Then, we’ll catch up for a planning meeting (over a bevvy or two, of course), get to know each other, and brainstorm all the cool ways to make your ceremony feel totally you.
Say ciao to stress and hello to excitement, baby!
-
Every wedding is as unique as the couple getting married, so my pricing reflects that. Whether you're planning a sweet and simple legals-only ceremony, a full-blown celebration with all the bells and whistles, travel, or adding me as your MC to keep the good vibes rolling, I’ll create a package tailored just for you.
To give you an idea, my prices range from $750 to $2,850, depending on what you need. Let’s chat about your plans, and I’ll put together something perfect for your day. One thing’s for sure - it’s an investment! You’ll love your ceremony, your family will adore me, and your guests will be raving about it long after the confetti has been swept up!

For a full ceremony, I recommend setting aside about 45 minutes in the run sheet, even though the actual magic usually takes 20 to 30 minutes (depending on how many laughs, tears, or cheeky surprises we throw in). Let’s keep it fun and engaging—no one wants a marathon session!
For a micro-wedding, we’re looking at around 10 minutes, give or take, depending on any extra touches you want to include.
For a legals-only ceremony we’ll have you officially married in under five minutes—short, sweet, and straight to the point!
-
Absolutely! My PA system is perfect for ceremony tunes. Just send me your playlist or Spotify link, and I’ll take care of everything—fading songs in and out, cuing your wedding party for their big entrance, and making sure every moment hits just right.
And here’s the best part: so many celebrants leave this job to a trusted family member or friend, but not on my watch, boo! You and your guests deserve to relax and soak up the moment. I’ve got you covered.
-
Not if you don’t want to! Apart from the legal bit—which is super short, sweet, and a simple repeat-after-me with your full names—everything else is totally up to you. Traditions are great if they mean something to you, but if not, we can skip them and do it your way.
That said, I do encourage couples to express their love in some form, even if it’s not during the ceremony. You could write each other a heartfelt card to read the morning of, share your vows over a private moment after the wedding, or even text them to each other in true modern love style (toilet texts, anyone?). However you choose to do it, being reminded of how much you’re loved by the person who loves you the most is always worth it.
-
Everything you need to make your ceremony seamless and stress-free! I’ll rock up with my trusty PA system, microphone, and a back-up cord (just in case it decides to have a diva moment—though it never has!). You’ll also get:
Your ceremony script (plus a hard copy backup because I’m prepared like that).
All the legal paperwork ready to sign.
Vow card holders for personal vows, if you’re not bringing your own.
A stash of lollipops as bribery for any kiddos making their way down the aisle.
My ‘just-in-case kit’ packed with sunscreen, bug spray, bobby pins, cable ties, and more to save the day for any last-minute surprises.
Oh, and tissues—because happy tears are basically guaranteed. And of course, I’ll bring a whole lot of good vibes to keep everything running like a dream!
-
Absolutely! If you’ve included a rehearsal in your package, we can run through everything either in person or online - whatever works best for you. It’s a great way to make sure everyone knows where to stand, when to walk, and how to nail those aisle vibes.
That said, my rehearsal guide is packed with everything you need to feel totally prepared, so honestly, I don’t think you’ll even need one! And just remember - I’ll be guiding you every step of the way on the day, so you’ll never feel lost or unprepared. Let’s be real, those unscripted, unrehearsed moments are often where the real magic happens!
-
It’s pretty simple, but there are a few must-haves to tick off the list:
You need to lodge your NOIM (Notice of Intended Marriage) at least one month before your wedding day.
Both of you must consent to the marriage (no surprises here!).
You can’t be closely related (so no siblings, cousins, or awkward family reunions).
You need to be 18 or over—if not, let’s chat because there’s more paperwork involved.
And, of course, you can’t already be married to someone else (if you’ve been married before, I’ll need to sight a divorce or death certificate to confirm it’s all officially wrapped up).
Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through all the legal bits to make sure it’s smooth sailing!
