FAQ | The Wordsmith Celebrant + MC | Perth Wedding Services
Services Offered
What services do you offer?
I love weddings, whether they are grand or intimate like micro weddings and elopements. I can also perform vow renewals, naming ceremonies, and funerals upon request. Head on over here for the low down.
Do you perform non-traditional ceremonies?
Yes! I believe that all types of ceremonies have a place, just like all people do. I am keen to learn, encapsulate, and incorporate all likes, interests, cultures, and traditions. Differences are the spice of life, and one of my great loves in being a celebrant.
Do you offer a rehearsal?
I am happy to attend a rehearsal in the Perth Metro area and upon request for farther afield celebrations. Do I think you need one? It depends – if you have a wedding party, it can ease the nerves. If it’s just the two of you, my recommendation is to wing it in the moment. We can also do a virtual rehearsal or I can send you my rehearsal run-through guide.
Locations and Availability
What areas do you serve?
I am based in Guildford and serve the Perth area, South West, and have even managed to sneak in an interstate wedding. Take me on an adventure with you – I can legally marry couples all over Australia.
How far in advance should we book you?
This is a tricky one! I have been booked as far as 2 years in advance, and sometimes only the minimum 30 days prior for a legal ceremony. On average, bookings are made well in advance and I think the sweet spot is 9-18 months in advance.
Ceremony Details
How long is a typical ceremony?
This is a scientifically thought-out, secret sauce type situation, but generally, I’d say allocate 30 minutes for the ceremony. However, we’ll likely be ready for a champers before then.
Can you help with writing our vows?
Absolutely! I know not everyone is a ‘nerd for words’ like me. We can chat through vows, and I have several resources to assist you in whichever way you need them.
Handling Issues and Emergencies
What if there are changes or emergencies on the wedding day?
We tackle this calmly, and I’m usually happy to be the main point of contact to alleviate any stress from you. If, ‘shock horror,’ I can’t be at your day, I have backup celebrant contacts. We have an incredible celebrant network here in WA, and you will never be left in the lurch.
Experience and Background
What is your experience?
I have been working in the wedding industry for over 15 years, with a background in planning and decorating. I’ve been a celebrant both here and overseas since 2015, and I’ve been a ‘nerd for the written word’ since forever.
What sets you apart from other celebrants?
Me! We’re all unique and different, and there is absolutely someone for everyone. If you want someone who goes above and beyond, believes the vibe should start from the ceremony, acts as a supportive wing woman, and loves and adores you, it might very well be me! I embrace all things colour (including the duality and timeless elegance of monochrome) and am all in for joy and fun. I want your wedding to go off with incredible ease and insatiable love and joy.
