You don't need a big wedding to have a big moment. Whether it's just the two of you or a handful of your favourite people, this is for couples who want it simple and still deeply personal.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
You know what you want: the people who matter most, a setting that suits you, and nothing unnecessary in between.
This is a partially personalised ceremony, written and delivered by me. The script is built from the moments that reliably move people, with a personalised introduction so your guests hear a little of your story. It runs 10 to 15 minutes for up to 25 guests, Monday to Thursday at any time, and Friday and Saturday mornings before midday.

“We couldn’t have asked for more as she guided us through the lead up to this amazing day…
Ali was not only our incredible and wonderful marriage celebrant, she is also our very dear friend. She was cool, calm, professional, flexible, patient and she made it fun! After 21 years we are now legally married. It was a no brainer, as to who we would ask to be our celebrant. Ali was our number one choice and she exceeded our expectations. Thank you Ali, you're the best!!!

I submit your marriage paperwork promptly, so the legal side is finished without you having to chase it. I’ll send you a note after the wedding with some post-wedding tips, and if you were happy with how it all went, a Google review is always a blessing.
