Port Coastal Weddings
Ceremonies for life………

Steps to Success


1 Let’s meet…

We meet, obligation-free, to talk about your ideas and dreams for your ceremony. It is important that you are confident that what I have to offer will ensure your wedding ceremony is exactly the way you imagine.

2 The Legal Paperwork

Once we have agreed to work together, the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) is completed, signed, and lodged with me.

3 Gathering our thoughts and Ideas

I will give you a questionnaire to take away, plus a booklet of suggestions and ideas to help you decide what you want in your ceremony. I will support you throughout this process.

4 Writing the Ceremony

Once you have completed the questionnaire and you've decided how you want your ceremony to look, I will prepare a draft for us to work on, until its perfect for you...

5 Rehearsal Time!

We get together with all your bridal party, preferably at the location of the ceremony, to ‘practise our moves’ and make sure everyone is confident.

 

6 The Big Day

I will arrive 45 minutes before the ceremony and check that everything, and everyone, is ready for the the big moment. Its now time to get hitched and for you and your witnesses to sign the Register. Congratulations! You are now a married couple.

7 After the ceremony…….

I leave you to celebrate and head off to submit your paperwork to the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
