YOUR WEDDING, YOUR DAY, YOUR LOVE
PAM GREEN WEDDINGS
The coming together of two people in marriage is testimony to a commitment of love for all present to witness. The ceremony may take many forms and styles from formal to informal, from urban to rural, from indoors to outdoors, from large to small, from traditional to contemporary, and from serious to humorous. The choice is yours.
Do you want to tell your story of love? How you met? Shall you write your own vows? Or shall I write them for you? Favourite poems or readings? Or perhaps you would like some suggestions about what to include. Either way … I am here to help your create the ceremony of your dreams that reflects you as individuals and now as a couple.
My background as a professor in education means that I am well positioned to act as your celebrant. I love writing in many forms. As a published author with extensive publications, I am able to write personalised ceremonies, poems and the like just for you.
I am very comfortable with the complexities of running a ceremony and liaising with all involved. Years of public speaking hold me in good stead when the unexpected occurs (as it does at times) and I can calmly adjust to ensure that the smooth flow of the ceremony continues.
Intuitively I will adapt to your needs and wishes as I do tend to read people well but will check with you as we go.
I am passionate about planning and conducting ceremonies . Whether the ceremony is formal or very casual or somewhere in between,
A ceremony of love … and of life … your new life together.

EMBRACING EQUALITY
MARIE PENTLAND
No one loves a joyous celebration of love more than I do, which is why I became a Marriage Celebrant. I love connecting with people to help them understand what they want to convey to family and friends while turning their commitment to each other into their own unique marriage ceremony.
I’ve had many occasions where I’ve had to celebrate with family and friends and keeping everyone happy is not an easy task. It’s those unique subtle touches that every guest like to see or hear that not only makes your day your best day ever, it unites your family and friends as they too will share memories of your sensational day.
I will help make your marriage not only legal but also memorable. Together we will go through anything you need to do or gather to prepare you for your intended marriage. I will guide you through the paperwork to gain the legal requirements needed to meet marrying in Australia. Mail off paperwork for your legal marriage certificate to arrive.
Along the way, I don’t doubt that we will have a few laughs while emotions will run high but don’t worry about a thing – confidentiality is high on my priorities to my clients - I’ve got your back there too!

PASSIONATE YARRA VALLEY LOCAL
ANN FLOCKHART
I've been a celebrant now for 10 years and have done hundreds of weddings. I've been to dozens of different venues and it's always wonderful to see how each of you are dressed and what themes you are having. I love the flowers, the bridesmaids and the boys of course. I've done weddings by lakes, rivers, streams, chapels, private homes, beaches, and a boat. There have been children, dogs and horses. I work hard to make sure that on the day we have a stress free and relaxed ceremony....
