The Journey is creating your ceremony
 

There may come a time, with the ceremony planning journey, when you might feel like you don’t know if you are coming, or going, or moving in an endless circle… just like the horses pictured here…

 

My undertaking, together with you, is to create a stress-free memorable ceremony. Be it a naming ceremony, a commitment ceremony, a marriage ceremony, a vows renewal or a celebration of life ceremony.  

 

It is a privilege and honour as a Celebrant to share in your ceremony journey to #WrightWhereLoveIs.
Contact me for a relaxed, fee-free, and no obligation meeting.

"I would just lie to have a huge shout out to Lauretta @wrightcelebrations she has been amazing. When we first started looking for a celebrant for a ceremony at Lake McKenzie on Fraser Island some people thought we were crazy. From my first contract with Lauretta, she had willingness and a can-do approach she helped to the best she could and her knowledge we really appreciate your input and flexibility. She even drove down to Logan City from Hervey Bay to do the pre wedding paperwork and meeting. On the day of the wedding, she was outstanding we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding celebrant she was perfect." - adventure_oz

​Wright Celebrations: the "Wright" steps to becoming a married couple
 

Here is a quick run down from this celebrant’s end to get to your wedding day, and for our planning so you can be legally married.

 

1. secure wedding date for marriage ceremony by paying Save Your Date deposit [$150; terms 7 days]

2. respond to a consent questionnaire in separate meetings face-to-face with the celebrant [AKA me!]

3. sign service contract and return to Lauretta 

4. completion [and the celebrant’s receipt] of the Notice of Intended Marriage form [can be completed via video call; timeframe: minimum one month prior to the marriage ceremony]

5. ceremony resources shared

6. drafting of script together: personal, tailored, bespoke

7. final payment for ceremony as per contract [one month prior to marriage ceremony date]

8. final copy of ceremony script / playlist

9. sign before the ceremony: the No Legal Impediment to Marriage form 

10. day 0: the big day! sign 2 copies of the Official Certificate of Marriage as well as the ceremonial Marriage Certificate

 

Then, I submit the required documentation to the Department of Births, Deaths, and Marriage and initiate the process for your certificate of marriage [prior to 14 days after the ceremony date]. If you elect to have a marriage certificate, the Department will contact you regarding final arrangements regarding postage and payment.
