My Best Friends Wedding

One of the greatest privileges I have ever had was marrying my best friend to the love of her life. That moment was incredibly special, and I want to help others experience the same joy and intimacy without the need to become an authorised marriage celebrant.

The My Best Friends Wedding package allows you to have your closest friends officiate your wedding, creating a truly personal and unforgettable celebration. I'll create your wedding script and give your bestie the coaching they need to make it a truly memorable experience. I will also handle all the legalities, including the lodgement of the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM), Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage (DONLIM), and the Official Marriage Certificate.

This package includes personal consultations, custom ceremony scripts, rehearsal coordination, on-the-day support, and post-ceremony legal assistance. It's all about making your big day as seamless and special as possible. Let's create a wedding ceremony that truly reflects your unique love story, officiated by the people who know you best.
