Maggie Dalziel | Celebrant

A marriage contract puts a protective shell around your relationship that helps keep your bond strong when there are bumps in the road, it gives couples a sense of security that they'll stay together no matter what

The Process: Getting together to start the journey

​ Sitting down early and talking about your ceremony is so useful. My role is to perform the legal part of your ceremony, a small but vital role to the whole day. The role you play is huge. Understanding how the ceremony unfolds, investing time early into what you want to say and knowing what to expect will take some of the pressure off you both and allow you to soak up the amazing atmosphere with your friends and family.

Finalising ceremony and rehearsal:

​ Trust me, this part is fun. You've done the hard work, you've applied for your Marriage License and we've agreed on a format for your ceremony. You know what your saying and how the service is going to unfold. We get to head over to your venue, have a rehearsal with your bridal party, laugh a lot, ease your nerves and get comfortable with the whole thing. I'll have emailed you an agreed format ahead of time and everyone now knows their job.
