Here is what one of our last clients had to say about her: "I cant believe how stressful it can be leading up to a wedding & then on the day everything just seemed so calm & relaxed & the photos really show it… you and our celebrant Bernadette really helped me in feeling that way, you both helped create such a laid back but professional atmosphere."
Enjoy!

Please introduce yourself
Hi! My name is Bernadette,
I’m a Civil Marriage Celebrant.
I live at beautiful
Tamborine Mountain, and conduct ceremonies in Northern NSW; Gold Coast;
Brisbane; Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas.
Can you tell us about your services and what you offer?
I love being a celebrant because I get to spend my time with people
during the happiest times of their lives – Celebrating life’s milestones!
Whether it be your Wedding, Elopement, Commitment Ceremony, Renewal of Vows, or Baby Naming I offer a fresh, contemporary approach to your ceremony, with a focus on creating a ceremony truly memorable and unique to you.
Whether it be your Wedding, Elopement, Commitment Ceremony, Renewal of Vows, or Baby Naming I offer a fresh, contemporary approach to your ceremony, with a focus on creating a ceremony truly memorable and unique to you.
I believe your ceremony should be a celebration of your relationship, which expresses your feelings, and reflects your own style and
personality.
I think it’s a great idea to catch up first for
an obligation free chat – it’s really important you feel totally comfortable
with your Celebrant, and that you choose someone who you relate to well, and
who gets you! So they can capture your
feelings and your personality in the ceremony they write for you.
I offer unlimited number of meetings, phone and
email access – whatever is going to make you feel comfortable.
I take care of all the legal requirements, ensuring you are aware of
what these are, and that they are all completed correctly and within the
required timings.
I include a rehearsal, as I believe it’s a must and not an optional
extra. It will give you some comfort
knowing what to expect when the nerves and emotions kick in on the day J
On your Wedding Day, I arrive at least half an hour early; provide a
high quality PA through which you can play your music, signing table and
pen. I dress appropriately to suit your
style and colours and deliver your ceremony in a warm, calm and professional
manner.
How early do you accept bookings?
I accept bookings up to
2 years in advance. Normally a booking
is made when we start on the legal paperwork with the NOIM. This can’t be done any earlier than 18 months
before the wedding. We can discuss
requirements and organize meetings prior to that.
What is important for couples to be aware of?
In regard to Celebrant
Services, it’s important that couples are aware of the legal requirements. I always ensure my couples are aware of
exactly what these are, however, it’s my responsibility to ensure they’re
implemented.
It’s also important you
choose a Celebrant you feel totally comfortable with, as it’s quite a personal
thing, communicating your feelings and on the day, the 3 of us are very closely
involved in the moment together – you want to feel good with that.
Why should couples book with you?
I have a relaxed and friendly nature and believe
preparing your ceremony should be an enjoyable, stress free experience, with a
bit of fun and a laugh along the way!
You can relax and enjoy your special day,
confident that I will deliver your ceremony with professionalism, sincerity and
warmth, and will take the time to ensure you are feeling comfortable throughout
the ceremony.
What special advice do you suggest?
I always suggest my
couples nominate a contact person for the day. Someone who has all the
providers phone numbers, and they all have that persons phone number. That way, if there’s any hold ups, there is
someone who is not the Bride or Groom or in the Wedding Party, who is calm and
collected and can deal with any last minute hiccups, without the Bride and Groom
needing to know about it or stress about it.
And most importantly –
Take your time! This is your moment, you
have all the time in the world. When you arrive at the ceremony, before you
walk down the aisle, take a moment, to breathe and take it all in, the setting,
your guests smiling faces – this is your wedding! Once you’ve walked down the aisle, let the
music play a little longer, so you can take some time to relax. I like to have plenty of little pauses
throughout the ceremony, to ensure the bride and groom are feeling comfortable
and enjoying their wedding ceremony.
This isn’t going to be obvious to the guests or draw the ceremony out
any longer, but it will give you the chance to ensure you don’t miss any of it
and cherish every moment.
How can they get in contact?
