    Marriage Celebrant Louise Drescher

Your wedding day should be the most memorable day of your life and my commitment to you as your Celebrant is to ensure that your ceremony is exactly what you have dreamt it would be.
Should you decide that I am the Celebrant for your special day, my services will include:

  • Initial visit and guidance in signing legal documents
  • A selection of vows, ceremonies and readings
  • A uniquely created ceremony
  • Subsequent meetings and rehearsal (if required)
  • Site visit
  • Travel to the ceremony (under 100kms)
  • Performance and solemnizing of the marriage
  • Presentation and copy of the ceremony
  • Audio equipment and where necessary a table , chairs and cloth
  • Registering of the marriage

It is important to remember that the planning, preparation and delivery of a best-practice ceremony takes a lot of time, care and attention.
To give you a little legal information - the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) is the first in the legal documents which needs to be completed and lodged with me. I have these forms or you can download from www.ag.gov.au/celebrants. The legal requirement for lodgment of this document with a celebrant needs to be at least one month and one day prior to the actual ceremony date, however, the earlier this is done the more chance you have of securing your date and time in my diary.
To complete the NOIM your original Birth Certificates must be sighted by me.  Divorce absolute papers or death certificates of former spouses (if relevant) must also be presented before the paperwork is complete. This lodgment then confirms my services.

The rest of the legal paperwork is completed as the process progresses to the big day! Following the ceremony I will forward the required documents to the Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages for registration. If you wish I can order your full registered marriage certificate at the same time.
