FAQs - Your burning questions answered

Before you can get married, you need to complete the Notice of Intended Marriage Form 13 (NOIM). This must be lodged no later than 1 month prior to your wedding and no more than 18 month prior to your marriage.

We’ll complete this together during our planning meeting. To prove your identity, please bring along your:

• Driver’s License

• Australian/ Overseas Passport

• Original Birth Certificate

If either of you have been married before, I will need to see your Certificate of Divorce (obtainable from the Family Court in the state where you were divorced).

If either of you have been widowed, I will need a copy of the Death Certificate of your deceased spouse. Any documents provided in a foreign language must be translated into English and a Translation Certificate supplied.

Prior to your wedding, you’re legally required to sign a Statutory Declaration that states there are no legal impediments to your marriage; you are over 18; you are not marrying your cousin and haven’t married someone else since I saw you last!

Absolutely! Love is love, my friends, and I am here for every beautiful version of it. Whether you're two brides, two grooms, non-binary partners, or simply two humans madly in love, I'd be honoured to help you celebrate your story with a ceremony that's heartfelt, joyful and unapologetically you.

One hundred percent.

My ceremonies are inclusive, welcoming and created to celebrate your relationship exactly as it is. Every couple deserves to feel comfortable, respected and genuinely celebrated on their wedding day. My job is to create a ceremony where you can relax, be yourselves and soak up every beautiful moment.

Absolutely.

There are no rules saying your ceremony has to sound like it was written in 1954. We can ditch outdated language, skip traditions that don't resonate with you, and create a ceremony that reflects your relationship, your values and your personalities.

Your wedding day should feel safe, joyful and free from awkward assumptions.

An inclusive celebrant understands that every love story is different and approaches your ceremony with respect, openness and genuine enthusiasm. Most importantly, you'll have someone standing beside you who is focused on celebrating your relationship exactly as it deserves to be celebrated — with lots of love, laughter and maybe a few happy tears.

Great question. Apart from looking fabulous and talking for a living?

A celebrant helps create and officiate meaningful ceremonies. For weddings, I handle all the legal requirements, help craft your ceremony, calm the nerves, answer approximately 74,000 questions, and stand beside you while you marry your favourite human.

For everything else? I help create celebrations that feel personal, memorable and completely you.

Think of me as equal parts celebrant, organiser, storyteller, hype woman and honorary family member.

I'm based on the glorious Gold Coast but love gets me travelling far and wide.

I regularly officiate weddings throughout:

• Gold Coast

• Brisbane

• Sunshine Coast

• Byron Bay

• Tweed Coast

• South East Queensland

• Regional Australia

And if you're planning an interstate or overseas wedding, elopement or celebration, passport in hand, let's chat.

Can I ever.

If you've decided your wedding belongs on a tropical island, European vineyard, mountain top or somewhere that requires several flights and questionable airport food choices, I'm all ears.

I absolutely love destination weddings and elopements and am always happy to discuss travel arrangements.

Oh my goodness, yes.

If you're after a stiff, robotic ceremony that sounds like it was copied from a 1987 filing cabinet, I'm probably not your girl.

If you want laughter, genuine emotion, personal storytelling, happy tears and a ceremony your guests will actually remember, then we might just be a match made in wedding heaven.

Join the club.

Almost every couple tells me they're nervous about vows or standing in front of a crowd.

The good news? You don't need to perform. You just need to be yourselves.

I'll guide you every step of the way, help you feel relaxed, and remind you that every single guest is there because they love you and want you to succeed.
