Weddings
The first step to getting married is for us to meet and complete the required paperwork as described in the rules about marriage section of the page.
I can verify your Identification and give you some samples of Vows, Ring Exchange and Giving Away options.
Between the time we first meet and when you get married there is unlimited emails and phone calls between us included in the price.
It is not necessary to have a rehearsal however I really like to have one as it prepares you and your partner for the day and helps to iron out any little issues that may arise.
The big day, I usually arrive approximately and hour early and provide a signing table and sound system that is adequate for an audience of approximately 100 people.
Additional costs are only for things like excessive travel beyond 150klm from Cairns or if there are Ferry or other transfer costs.
Renewal of Vows
Renewing your vows can be a wonderful way to reaffirm to vows and promises you made at the start of your marriage.
Sometimes it gives you a chance to include children or grandchildren or even to have a special day that you were unable to have when you first said your vows.
I work with you to create a personalised service that encompasses all your special memories and pays tribute to the journey you have made together
Naming Ceremonies
Naming ceremonies have become a popular way to welcome your special little person or people to the family.
They can be for a newborn or a child or person of any age, we can create a ceremony and ritual that makes the family feel like they now joined together in a new way.
The combining of sands is a lovely way to show that lots of different parts can be mixed together to make something new and wonderful.
Funeral Ceremonies, Memorials and Celebration of Life
I have completed extensive Funeral Celebrant training and have many years of support service experience.
I feel very privileged to help you in your time of need to navigate the funeral process and to create a ceremony that helps to process the loss of a loved one.
I am able to provide a service that is based on the persons beliefs and pride myself on being able to help you to organise your memories into a service that honours the life of your loved one.
I have an excellent relationship with the Funeral Directors in Cairns and will work with them to make sure that your time of loss is a time when you can grieve and trust that all of your needs are met.
