Last Friday I had a call from a gentleman who had put "engage a celebrant" last on his "to do" list. Sadly, he and his partner had chosen their September date and venue plus issued their invitations - but due to a previous booking, having me perform their ceremony was out of the question.
Oddly, I've noticed in recent times, that scenario is becoming a more familiar story - whether people want a "legals only" or standard ceremony approach. I will get a phone call or an email nominating a particular date and it always disappoints me when I have to tell the couple how sorry I am that date is already booked. It's so much better if a couple can choose a celebrant who suits them before they confirm their wedding date. In that way, flexibility will work in their favour - so they, or you, can choose the celebrant you really want. Remember, the key document to be signed before the wedding (Notice of Intended Marriage) has a currency of 18 months!
Of course, early booking isn't always practical or possible. For that reason I will do whatever I can to help you achieve your ceremony on your chosen date. All it takes is either a call or Contact via my website www.northernriverscelebrant.com.au after you've checked my Google reviews, to see if you like what you read. I'd be delighted to hear from you if you have a plan, a story to share, and the desire to work with an easy going, experienced celebrant who won't charge you mega bucks.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

The beauty of living in the Northern Rivers, or planning your wedding for this area, is that we have so many possible locations available. Mind you, if you plan an outdoor wedding, you always need a backup plan ... just in case it does rain. The photos below are of weddings at Summerland Farm and Lennox Head - on days that were wonderfully fine and warm. If you are planning to get married from August through to December, it's time to get busy! Did you know at least one full calendar month's notice must be allowed for, from the time you meet your celebrant for paperwork signing? So don't leave your celebrant decision too long!
If you'd like to have a chat about what else you need to do to progress your marriage, why don't you refer to my website www.northernriverscelebrant.com.au and use the Contact or Call buttons if you like what you see, or read in my Google Reviews? I'd be delighted to help you both make your dream wedding come true.

Recently I married two very special people who were photographed by NATSKY on their special day. Nobody could deny these photographs are brilliant, reflecting total love, happiness and joy. Tell me what you think? I had to include the one with the cakes as well. Everyone was smiling!!!

The power of pictures never ceases to amaze me. The photo below taken by Anna Barber captures a moment in time that speaks so well of love, youth, happiness and fun. It was my privilege to officiate at the ceremony for this lovely couple in front of family and friends.
If this reaction speaks to you, maybe you and your partner should check out my website www.northernriverscelebrant.com.au or simply send me a PM. I'd be delighted to have a chat to explain my approach to ceremonies. My primary goal is to take away any stress relating to the wedding ceremony by ensuring we are all well informed and prepared. I also offer extra options for no additional fee, regardless of whether you choose a legals only or standard wedding ceremony. It's worth checking my 86⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google reviews as well! Happy reading!

Does this option appeal to you?? Every time I marry a couple, whether through a legals only or a standard ceremony, there is always one special option I offer to couples. Some choose to take me up on the offer, others not. To personalise your ceremony, brides, grooms or partners can create a statement (a secret wedding or vow statement) which I print and pass on the day. It's always a surprise for your partner and a lovely element for any marriage ceremony. If it's a standard wedding, I prepare a vow card i.e. a cover sheet with the date and reader's name and the printed statement (in large font) inside. I simply pass it over with a microphone - and rarely is there a dry eye to be seen. If it's a legals only ceremony, it's the same, just without the cover sheet. But, it achieves the exact same result! These days, after the ceremony, I leave the vow statements with the memento certificate so that the married couple can reread their vow statements on their first anniversary. I've been told that's a lovely way to revisit that special day.
My couples also tell me they love the opportunity to say how they feel. Though many have been self conscious about writing their statement, with encouragement, a few samples plus a little polishing at my end, we ensure the final result is heart-warming and genuine. If you would like to work with me, or even enquire about the process, why don't you give me a call on 0438220209 or check out my 86 x 5⭐️Google Reviews? Alternatively, to make it easier, you can go to my website www.northernriverscelebrnt.com.au and use the Contact or Call buttons. What have you got to lose?

This is one of my favourite wedding photos of all time. If you plan a ceremony on your farm, in your backyard or garden, on your verandah or a beach, by a river or a dam, anything is possible. Why don't you send a message to me or check out my website www.northernriverscelebrant.com.au and use the Contact or Call button. I'd be delighted to help you make that special day just as you want it to be; and I'm happy to make suggestions too.

Sometimes we can be lucky with the weather. At Rock Valley, today, as we waited for the bride to appear with her mother and her two niece bridesmaids, it started to sprinkle. Quickly the signing table was moved out of the rain and everyone moved under cover. The wedding bower and guest shelter was ready and waiting. Fortunately the sprinkling stopped and didn't begin again until after the bride and groom had been pronounced husband and wife. Better still, when the signing was finished, with both fathers as witnesses, the newlyweds were introduced to their nearest and dearest as Mr and Mrs S., while the sun spilled light everywhere. It was spectacular, as was my wedding on Saturday when a rainbow appeared above the marrying couple at Modanville! I look forward to sharing more photos of both weddings, which were so different in style and approach. That's the beauty of my role as a celebrant - every wedding is unique and tailored to the bride and groom's preferences. If you are curious about other weddings I've officiated, please check my website www.northernriverscelebrant.com.au and read a few of the 80+ Google Reviews. If you like what you read, next step is to use the site Call or Contact icon so we can have a chat. It will be worth the effort to ensure a reasonably priced and easy wedding "your" way.

Your wedding day marks the beginning of a full life with your chosen partner. Whether you want a simple 'legals only' ceremony or a longer wedding service, you need to ensure your wedding celebrant is flexible and willing to work with you to achieve exactly the right tone. So how do you assess that? The easiest way is to check Google Reviews for Northern Rivers Celebrant and have a look at my website www.northernriverscelebrant.com.au
What other couples wrote is an easy guide to choosing a celebrant to suit you. Pricing and photos are readily available on my website as well. If you use that Contact or Call button on my site, I'd be delighted to have a chat, answer any questions and confirm my availability.
As a recent example, Emma and Connor had this to say about my role as their celebrant: "Caz was an incredible celebrant for us, from the day we first contacted her till our big day. Her communication and guidance in everything was amazing. She was able to work with all the unpredicatabilites on the day and managed to marry us in the pouring rain. Thanks again Caz."
Having a backup plan for an outdoor wedding, and being prepared to use it, is also a must. 😉 Whether you want a traditional or more informal ceremony, together we can make it happen.

As costs rise in all aspects of our lives, I suspect more couples, regardless of their age, will realistically decide to keep their weddings conservatively smaller and less expensive. That's where what is called a "legals only" ceremony can assist. It's what is essentially a "no frills" straightforward service, but with me there is a big difference. To ensure the couple can personalise what might otherwise seem like a "production line" ceremony, I offer some special options for which there is no additional charge. If you would like to know more about this style of wedding and what I will include for no fee, why don't you check my website www.northernriverscelebrant.com.au plus check out photos and read some of the 80 Plus Google Reviews? I promise the effort will be worth it if you don't want to overspend on your special day, while ensuring your service will be short, sweet and definitely unique. The easiest way to get in touch is to use the Contact or Call buttons on my website, or PM me if preferred.

Did you know civil celebrants have only been available to perform marriages in Australia for just over 50 years? On 19 July 1973 the first civil celebrant, Lois D'Arcy, was appointed in NSW by the Attorney General. Now, would you believe, there are approximately 10,000 civil celebrants in Australia who conduct around 80% of all ceremonies??!!
Seriously, how lucky are couples these days? You can choose the exact style of wedding you want, as casual or formal as you wish, themed or not and with no need for a church venue. The bride and groom can wear whatever they choose; and as long as there are two witnesses present to sign paperwork, the guest list can be as large or small as the couple wants.
As to what the bride wears, I love that moment of surprise when the bride approaches her excited partner. Some choose to be traditional, wearing white or ivory or a pastel colour with a veil. Beautiful! Then, others choose to be totally individual! How wonderful is this freedom couples have these days?
Regardless of your future planned choice of celebrant, I'd like to share photos of gorgeous brides who made unique statements while I married each of them to the love of her life.
If you'd like to have a similar experience, why don't you visit my website [www.northernriverscelebrant.com.au](www.northernriverscelebrant.com.au) and have a look at my Google Reviews and readily available pricing under the heading Marriage? I don't hide information and you don't have to trawl through "package" details. If you like what you see, why don't you then press that Contact button, let me know your planned date and we can have an obligation free chat? I'd be delighted to hear from you!
