HOW IT WORKS
Not sure where to start?
If you think I might fit nicely into your wedding vibe, jump into the contact link, leave a few details and I’ll get back to you asap.
Up next we can organise a no-obligation chat (either via ZOOM or in person). This is where we can get to know each other, I’ll run you through my processes and you can ask absolutely whatever you want.
What happens from here?
This is the fun part. We start designing your ceremony.
You get access immediately to my clients only accessible CONFETTI PORTAL complete with extensive ceremony and reception planning guides, tips, tricks and hints, vow writing guide, weather and legal pointers and my A-list of recommended vendors.
All your digital ceremony and reception (where applicable) planning guides and individual couples’ questionnaires are immediately available from your unique portal. Each of these are able to be submitted and resubmitted as many times as you please, they are designed to prompt conversations and help with the planning.
You’ll receive an email from me at 6 months prompting you to complete the Births, Deaths and Marriages link in preparation for the NOIM (Notice of Intended Marriage) signing.
I’ll touch base at key points to grab some information from you in preparation for the actual fun part, our ceremony planning meeting. We’ll aim to catch up 3-4 months out and we’ll discuss your 100% custom ceremony and sign the NOIM. This meeting is designed to be a work in progress, plenty of conversational points and you’ll walk away excited for what is to come. I’ll email through a unique wedding run sheet with some to do tasks and we’ll be in touch over the coming months to finalise details.
We’ll aim to catch up the week of your wedding for our final meeting (ideally at your ceremony location). This meeting is designed as a conversation rather than a hard and fast rehearsal. On your wedding day I’m looking after you, your guests and your VIP’s! We’ll also complete the Declaration of No Legal Impediment document.
I’m here to hold your hand, ensure you are organised, comfortable but most importantly ready to have some fun.
I’m always available via email, phone, text or DM if you have a question
How do I write your ceremony story and is it custom?
Everything about your ceremony is custom, unique and authentic to you. This includes no generic poems, reading, outdated traditions or awkward parts. I’ll ask that you complete your couples’ questionnaires separately, so I can grab 2 sides to the story and share a complete story. I’m looking for all those wonderful memories, feelings, funny comments and just the gold to make you both laugh.
WHAT HAPPENS ON OUR WEDDING DAY?
Firstly, it’s just time to have fun!
Every wedding is different so your preparation, pre ceremony, ceremony, canapes, photography schedule and reception will look unique.
I’ll arrive early for your ceremony, set up and test my PA and microphone and play some background music if required. I love working with some of the best wedding vendors here in SA, so I’ll chat with them pre ceremony.
The fun part is I’ll always say hello (and give you a big hug) to you both prior to the ceremony beginning no matter how that looks.
I’ll welcome your guests, warm the crowd up, go through some housekeeping, mention not to throw confetti at your faces and then get ready for the ceremony to begin.
I’ll check in again with you both regardless then let’s get the party started, I’ll help with music if required, positioning and everything in between.
You’ll find me standing off to the side to tell your story then pop in for vows (which I’ll have printed), ring exchange and have the legal paperwork prepared for you and your two witnesses to sign. You each just need to say the legal vows (19 words plus full legal names), I’ll be way off to the side for your just married smooch then it’s sending you out to a flutter of confetti and good times.
I’ll help out organising a family photo if needed and mention any family or VIP photos that are happening.
If I’m sticking around to MC, I’ll grab a arancini ball and get ready for the after party (the ceremony being the real party!)
