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!
