Warm
and Wonderful Weekday Weddings
(Registry Office
Alternative Weddings)
|
At less
than a Registry Office wedding can cost you (if you factor in parking
costs to attend during business hours to complete the pre-wedding
paperwork, and then again for the actual wedding) a Warm and Wonderful
Weekday Wedding is a romantic and more
personal alternative to a Registry Office wedding for those who want to
marry during the week, either in a small private ceremony with just you
and your two official witnesses or in the presence of family and
friends (up to 40
people).
The
ceremony will be more personal than the Registry Office Ceremony, will
be delivered in a warm and friendly fashion, and you can
choose your vows and other selected parts of the ceremony from
beautifully written original alternatives
I provide you that include both
the traditional and contemporary vows. |
It was
great, personal and friendly. Communication was excellent and
reliable to respond to emails quickly. Great knowledge and experience
and a very lovely lady. Very happy with the service from first contact.
The ceremony was beautiful and personal.

Advantages of a
Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding over a Registry Office Wedding
- You can choose both time and place for
your ceremony (day and evening, including public holidays,
Monday-Thurs, mornings only on Friday) compare this with the weekday
times available at the Registry Office: Monday to Friday 9:45am to
11:45am and 2:15pm to 3:45pm except for public holidays and the period
between Christmas and New Year.
- You can make arrangements for your
wedding and complete the Notice of Intended marriage even if your
divorce is not yet finalised or you are waiting on receipt of the
required documentation (birth certificate, divorce certificate)
available. NB these papers must be shown to the celebrant before the
ceremony can take place but at the Registry Office they will not accept
your booking unless you have them with you.
- You will never have to stand in a queue
- You will know beforehand who your
celebrant is and will have had the opportunity to develop rapport with
me.
- You can meet with me after hours to make
the arrangements
- You can make the arrangements without
meeting with me if you live outside Brisbane, or are eloping to Brisbane
- You will not need to pay expensive city
parking for either the ceremony or completion of legal requirements (at
present this is about $20 an hour in parking garages)
- You will have input into your ceremony so
your vows and other parts of the ceremony will be personal to you. The
Registry Office provides only a one-size-fits-all have a standard
quickie marriage ceremony
- You will be able to have as few or as
many guests as you like (you must have two adult witness). The Registry
Office restricts the number of guests to 50.
- The bride will be able to make a formal
entrance
How a Warm and Wonderful Weekday Wedding works:
- We meet once, at a mutually
convenient time (after hours is fine) generally at a mutually
convenient place within the
4068/4069 postcode area and at this meeting
- we talk about the style of ceremony you
would like
- you choose your declaration of intent,
vows, and ring vows from the options I provide
- I take the two of you through the
ceremony so you will feel comfortable on the day
- we complete the Notice of
Intended Marriage
- where possible you show me your proofs
of ID and how any previous marriage ended, however, if that is not
possible, you may show me those on your wedding day, just before the
ceremony commences.
- you confirm the location for the
ceremony and pay a non-refundable deposit of $200 the full fee ($295
within the 4068/4069 postcodes,
$325 elsewhere within 50 km of postcode 4068/9) NB for bookings made
after 1 August the fee will be $290
- I give you a receipt
- The ceremony fee covers
- Delivery of your ceremony with warmth
and friendliness
- Attendance at the venue agreed
- Solemnising of the marriage
- Compliance with all legal requirements
- Provision of the Presentation
certificate and a beautifully presented copy of your vows as a keepsake
- The following conditions apply
- The ceremony can take place anytime
(24/7)
Monday-Thursday or on Friday morning
- The ceremony venue is your choice of
private residence or other venue within
the 4068 and 4069 postcodes or, for an additional $30 anywhere within
50 km of postcode 4069
- No complicated processional, rituals or
readings
Candidly, many couples go the Registry Office or the Courthouse wanting
a short, cheap and easy marriage ceremony, and because they think the
arrangements can be made at short notice. But that is probably
not what
will really happen.
