About Raise a Glass Celebrant Services
We specialise in a wide range of ceremonies, including weddings, vow renewals, naming ceremonies, and life celebrations. Each service is tailored to reflect the unique stories and values of those we’re celebrating.
Personalisation is at the heart of what I do. I begin with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, preferences, and the story you wish to tell. From there, I craft a ceremony that incorporates your themes, values, and personal touches, making every moment resonate with you and your guests.
Absolutely. I pride myself on an inclusive approach, welcoming clients from all walks of life and backgrounds. I’m experienced in incorporating a variety of cultural and religious elements into ceremonies, respecting and honouring your traditions and beliefs.
My service packages are comprehensive, including initial consultations, personalised ceremony creation, rehearsal attendance, officiating the ceremony, and handling all necessary legal documentation. We can also offer additional services such as venue selection advice and vendor recommendations.
Planning Your Ceremony
To ensure I can provide the personalised service you deserve, I recommend booking as early as possible. Ideally, 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for weddings during peak season.
The process begins with an initial consultation to discuss your vision and requirements. I then move into the planning phase, where I work closely with you to design your ceremony. This is followed by a rehearsal (if needed) and the ceremony itself, where I support you every step of the way.
Yes, we provide comprehensive support for vow writing, including workshops, one-on-one sessions, and resources to help you express your feelings and commitments beautifully and authentically.

On the Day of the Ceremony
In the unlikely event of an emergency, I have a network of trusted celebrant colleagues who can step in to ensure your ceremony goes ahead as planned, with the same level of care and personalisation.
The duration of your ceremony depends on its complexity, the number of elements involved, and your personal preferences. Most ceremonies I craft last between 20 to 40 minutes.
Yes, managing and directing the rehearsal is part of my comprehensive service package. I ensure everyone involved understands their role, making for a smooth and stress-free ceremony.

After the Ceremony
I handle all the necessary legal paperwork and submissions. After the ceremony, I’ll guide you through the process of obtaining your official marriage certificate from the relevant authorities.
Absolutely! I value your feedback as it helps me improve and continue providing exceptional service. I’ll provide you with a feedback form after the ceremony, or you can reach out to me directly with your thoughts.
