“PROFESSIONAL & PERSONAL CEREMONIES”
I am a graduate of the Australian & International College of Celebrancy, a foundation member of the College of Celebrants' Association and an active committee member of that Association.
Having completed the COMPREHENSIVE course of study, I attained my
Diploma of Marriage Celebrancy (with High Distinction)
and was duly authorised and registered by the Federal Attorney General's Department as a Civil Marriage Celebrant on 1st September 2004.
Although my appointment is comparatively recent, I have already celebrated over 70 Marriage and Naming Ceremonies, and have many forward bookings for this year and well into 2009.
I am "as keen as mustard" to create a meaningful and memorable ceremony, and would feel privileged to conduct a ceremony that is uniquely yours.
I enjoy developing ceremonies that suit each couple's individual personalities and needs. You may be assured that, in my dealings with you, the client, I will always adopt a relaxed and friendly, yet highly professional approach in composing a ceremony of your choice.
I am bound by, ahere to and respect the national privacy principles of the Privacy Act 1988. I will always treat with the utmost confidentiality the personal information that you provide to me during the process of creating your unique ceremony.
In creating a personalised ceremony of excellence that uniquely suits you, I am fully dedicated towards promoting high ideals and strong ethical standards.
Your wedding day is SO IMPORTANT that it needs NO STRESS.
Therefore, my personal rule of life is, DO THE COMMON THINGS UNCOMMONLY WELL.
Consistent with a high code of ethics, when you become a valued client of mine, you will be entitled to, and will receive, the following standards of service from me:
1. I supply you with a copy of the source book "Ceremonies and Celebrations" by Dally Messenger, or equivalent.
2. I give you a complete choice of ceremony.
3. At a relaxed interview with me, you discuss all your wedding requirements.
4. You are entitled to, and will receive, unlimited consultation by phone or in person.
5. You are entitled to an on site rehearsal (within a reasonable distance) at a mutually convenient time.
6. The keyboarding of a copy of your ceremony (if you do not do this yourselves) is part of your arrangement with me.
7. Your presentation wedding certificate is laser printed.
8. On request, I provide Appreciation Certificates to the wedding party and others for a minimal cost.
9 Ample time: I guarantee that no other wedding will be booked so close to yours that I arrive late, (barring the rare, unforseen hold-up), or rush out in an unseemly manner. IN FACT, I HAVE RESOLVED TO BOOK ONLY ONE WEDDING PER DAY, TO AVOID SUCH A SITUATION. I always plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before the bride is due to make her entrance, i.e. the planned starting time.
10. I give my personal guarantee that I will do my best to become familiar with the words of the ceremony beforehand, and will read my part in a sincere and interested manner.
11. As far as possible, I will dress to fit in with your wedding. (For example, you have a choice of lounge suit, dinner suit, or neat casual.)
