Lightning Fast, Legally Wed Bespoke Ceremony

Craig and Angel almost married in the back of a limo with the photographer and videographer as witnesses. But they jumped out at this lovely spot by the Brisbane River.

`The word "ideal client" is bandied about a lot in the celebrant world these days. It needs a bit of context.

Despite the Celebrant Code of Practice stipulating that celebrants cannot discriminate in providing their services, where celebrants will only work for a particular type of "ideal" client, there is potential for this line to be crossed, in my view.

​Like many celebrants, I provide a range of services to suit different needs.

Not everyone wants a big, involved wedding with multiple elements in it, or aimed an an Instagram-ready audience. Some people don't want a party at all, and just want to sit around a kitchen table and sign the papers and say the words that legally marry them. 

​So my idea of an "ideal client" is someone who knows what they want and from the outset it's clear that I can deliver what they want.

Be that the big fairytale white wedding that a bride has dreamed about since childhood, a short and sweet ceremony in the local park or by the river, helping a couple secretly elope and tell everyone later, an event that turns out to be a surprise for the guests, or a couple wanting a no-fuss "lightning fast, legally wed" ceremony on their back deck - I'm happy to do this. 

All my ceremonies bear my trademark bespoke development, design and delivery. I don't work in an "insert name here" space.

​What sort of people would be interested in the latter service mentioned above, you might ask?

There are many reasons why some people might choose a "lightning fast, legally wed" ceremony. Some people just don't want the fuss. Some people may have had a big fancy "destination wedding" in Italy or Malta or somewhere else which may not have been legal. [There is a massive destination wedding industry worldwide which provides non-legal ceremonies].

​Some people may have age or health issues which preclude them from participating in a longer ceremony. Some prefer to save their money for something that is more important to them, like a honeymoon or their house or family. And some just want a super quick and simple ceremony in private so they can rush off and celebrate with loved ones.

How people choose to marry is not my concern. Hopefully I have something that will interest potential clients within my four existing packages. I'll never try to "upsell" my clients to a more expensive package. It's just not me. I suck at sales. 

Happy to chat if you have any questions about what I do.
