For weddings of up to 30 guests, the Brief and Beautiful Occasion keeps things light-hearted, with everything needed to make it official, without losing the warmth or joy.

• A first face-to-face meeting or via Zoom/Facetime (whichever you prefer)
• Assistance in preparing the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) and other documents (Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage, and two official Marriage Certificates).

NEW! AVAILABLE FROM FEBRUARY 2026

Legals only. No fuss. Thoughtfully done. The two of you and your witnesses at your chosen venue.

Just the Legal Bits is a calm, affordable ceremony option for couples who want to be legally married without the extras, but still want it to feel meaningful. It offers a private moment that focuses on what matters most, without the pressure, performance, or added layers.

This is a legals only ceremony, focused on the required legalities, guided with care, clarity and professionalism. It is simple, intentional, and never rushed. Think no fuss, no filler, and definitely not as dry as a dull wedding at the Registry Office.

Just the Legal Bits is ideal if you are:

• Looking for an affordable marriage celebrant in Adelaide
• Wanting a private elopement style or low-key legal wedding at your home or chosen venue
• Perhaps planning a larger celebration later
• Seeking a legals only wedding that still feels warm and respectful.

The Just the Legal Bits package includes:

• A first virtual meeting via Zoom/Facetime.
• Assistance in preparing the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) and other documents (Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage, and two official Marriage Certificates). You email me your completed sections and I do the rest, including lodgment of all documents with the state’s Births, Deaths & Marriages.

This package is designed for the couple, the celebrant, and two adult witnesses only. If you are hoping to include additional guests, family or friends, one of my other ceremony options will be a better fit.

Some couples want a close friend or family member to lead their wedding, which is perfect for the reception. But in Australia, a legal marriage must be officiated by an authorised celebrant (yes, we actually have to study for it!). The good news? I can be your bestie’s sidekick, taking care of the official and legal parts while they tell your love story.

Let me run the show while you sit back and enjoy. As your reception MC, I’ll keep things fun and flowing, making sure everyone knows when to speak, eat, dance, or toast. No need to rely on a stressed-out friend or family member. Share your run sheet with me, and I’ll handle the rest – your go-to guy with a mic, lots of energy, a sewing kit, and a few tissues just in case.
