Commitment

A Commitment Ceremony is very similar to a wedding ceremony but is notlegally binding. Sometimes called a Minimony, it’s a wonderful way to make a public affirmation of your love and commitment to each other and is perfect for couples who are unable to, or don’t want to include the legal components of a wedding.  And who knows, down the line you might throw a sequel wedding event.

  • Ceremony coordination on the day, working with your photographer or venue manager to ensure your day is perfect.

Price: $450  Travel: within 40 km. 

I treat the planning of your Commitment Ceremony, the same as planning a wedding ceremony. We plan it together and you can include special readings and vows to each other in the ceremony. Since there are no legal requirements to follow from the Marriage Act (2017), there is plenty of scope for you to create a ceremony that is entirely unique.

This package includes:

  • Planning - 1 ceremony planning meeting (face-to-face or video call). This is your opportunity to tell me all of your ideas and for me to get to know you more as a couple. Not sure what you want from your ceremony? I have a few standard ceremonies you can select.
  • Ceremony coordination on the day, working with your photographer or venue manager to ensure your day is perfect.
  • Questionnaire - a standard ceremony, with the option to include personally written vows. This is your chance to tell me all about you as a couple. How you met, what you love about each other, your dreams. Everything I need to know to create your perfect ceremony.
