Congratulations! You’re engaged and starting to plan your wedding. It’s an exciting time, but it can also be overwhelming. Where do you start?
Most couples jump to the when, where and who aspects of planning their wedding day, but the best place to start is with your WHY. Knowing why you are getting married sets the foundation for everything.
By why … I don’t mean because you love each other, I mean why do you want a wedding ceremony? What is your purpose? Once you know the answer to that question it will help you answer the other questions that naturally follow.
This is where I come in as your wedding celebrant.
I help prompt your thinking about your why if you haven’t focused on that.
Once you know your why, I ask lots of questions to help you find your answers to the what, how and who questions.
Firstly … Who am I?
I’m Debbie Taylor and I’m a civil marriage celebrant, based in Canberra, but I happily travel!
That means I can marry anyone who is legally able to marry in Australia under Australian law. I am not bound by any religious traditions (if you want a religious ceremony, you need an authorised religious celebrant). I can however include religious rituals and symbols in your ceremony.
As your wedding Celebrant, I’ll work with you to explore …
What type of wedding ceremony you want?
I work with my couples to design a unique ceremony which reflects them as individuals and as a couple. Each wedding ceremony reflects the couple’s values, hopes and dreams.
How you want your wedding ceremony to feel.
The tone of your wedding ceremony should also reflect you as a couple. Your guests won’t remember the words said, or the music played, but they will remember how they felt. Together we will plan a wedding that your family and friends will remember – for all the right reasons!
Who you want to be involved in your wedding ceremony.
As we plan your wedding ceremony, we will look at who you want to be involved and why. There are so many traditions that can be tied to weddings - religious and cultural. As your celebrant, I’ll help you think about what you want to include and why … and perhaps what you want to include, but in a new, modern or personalised way.
There are ways we can include significant people, from just one or two people right through to all your guests … it’s your decision.
Why is all of this important?
Your wedding ceremony should reflect you – it’s your special day.
Couples have said “many people commented on the fact that it felt very intimate and personalised.”
“We had so many comments about how beautiful the ceremony was, in particular you as the celebrant.” “The ceremony was obviously personal and written with us/by us as it represented us so well.”
Like you – I want your wedding ceremony to be remembered as a wonderful part of your special day!
My promise …
My commitment as your marriage celebrant is that my focus will be on you, in the lead up to and on your wedding day.
I promise that all eyes will be on you, not me!
You get to see your wedding ceremony script well in advance, so you have complete confidence in what is going to be said, how your ceremony will flow and who will be involved. I promise that your wedding will be a reflection of you as a couple and will be wonderfully memorable!
Let's meet and start planning your perfect wedding day.
