WHY ME AS YOUR CELEBRANT?

Couples today want a wedding ceremony that is totally tailored to their specific personality types and likes. Unlike a Church or the Registry Office, you will be provided the flexibility of a ceremony that is designed to reflect your style and have it celebrated at the venue of your choice.

You won't find any false airs or graces with me. I am a relaxed, easy-to-smile person who provides beautiful ceremonies that have been designed with you in mind, all delivered in a friendly style to you and your guests.

I thoroughly prepare every detail of the ceremony to ensure that it will run smoothly. I never allow any aspect to go unprepared or unplanned and will never be happy to simply "wing it" on the day. You have gone through a lot of time and effort to ensure all of the other parts of your day are totally as you had planned, so why would you expect anything less from your celebrant?

I keep myself updated through yearly ongoing professional training as required by the Australian Attorney General's Department through which I am registered. As a member of the Australian Marriage Celebrants Inc, I am regularly kept updated of any changes to Australian laws effecting the Marriage Act. I faithfully adhere to the Australian Marriage Act 1961 to ensure that you are legally married.

I am happy to meet with you at your home for your convenience.

You will be provided with a written quote so you will know upfront what my costs will be without any hidden surprises.

You are the centre of attention on your wedding day - no one else. I will even ensure that my clothing is not the same colour as your wedding party's!

I accept every person I meet in an open manner without pre-judgements or bias.

Many celebrants today use small PA systems that are very light and portable, but depending on the location and number of guests, aren't capable of projecting sufficient sound. Nothing is more frustrating for a guest of a ceremony when they can't hear the individual heart-felt vows that you've taken time over composing. The PA system I use is a powerful 80 watts with cordless hand-held mike as well as a lapel and "Madonna" mike. It also has the ability to play music CD's.

I provide a complete service from pre-ceremony through to post-ceremony. When lodging the marriage papers with the Registry Office, I can also include your application form for your Registered Marriage Certificate - which saves you the trouble of going in person yourself and providing 100 points of ID. (This is a mandatory document for brides who want to change their name on driver's licences and passports etc to be the same as their spouse).

My rates are very reasonable and I won't break your budget. Every ceremony is individually assessed and then priced according to the particular requirements.

I pride myself in the extra care and preparation that I bring to each ceremony. It's the little things that make my service professional rather than adequate, and the thoughtful touches that will make it memorable for you.

This is your day, and recognising this, I will ensure that it is celebrated in the manner that you particularly want.

"Vivienne has a great blend of relaxed style with a flair for script and was able to include some humour into our ceremony, which we and our guests certainly appreciated. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant for whatever occasion. Thankyou for a wonderful day."
