Visiting Interstate & North Queensland Couple's Commitments

Are you currently trying to decide if you would like to have a commitments on the Gold Coast or anywhere in South East Queensland or Northern NSW? I can provide a highly creative and professional civil celebrant service for you.

The wonderful thing about using a civil celebrant for your ceremony is that your choices are endless. You can marry on a glorious Gold Coast beach or under the canopy of the hinterland rainforests. You can also use one of the sensational venues in and around the Gold Coast including cosy chapels, mountain restaurants with panoramic views, exquisite sub-tropical gardens, rainforest retreats and up market reception facilities or if you are adventurous jump out of a plane, go up in a hot air balloon or scuba dive if that is your passion.

Hi Marilyn, Thanks so much for conducting our beautiful ceremony. Your experience and advice made planning stress-free, and we felt our ceremony was very personal and reflected our commitment to each other. You put us at ease from our first phone call and meeting, and your passion and enthusiasm made the planning fun. I liked meeting you first and talking about what we wanted.Your ideas for our vows and ring-warming were really great, and we enjoyed writing our personal Love Story. We always tell people our love story (because we think ours is the greatest), and with our ceremony we got to tell everyone at once. It was great how friendly, calm and supportive you were throughout everything. We have framed our certificate and put it in the living room. A lot of people said to us that our ceremony was the nicest and most meaningful they had ever been to, and we have already recommended you to a lot of our friends. Thank you for your support. We can't wait to have you back for the baby naming. Again, thank you so much! Liz & Danielle XOXO

Are you trying to decide if you would like to have your commitment ceremony in Australia? Australia is a beautiful place to exchange your vows there are many stunning places for your ceremony and honeymoon.

If you plan to have your same sex commitment on the Gold Coast or anywhere in South East Queensland or Northern NSW, I can provide a highly creative and professional civil celebrant service for you. Would like to have me officiate at your ceremony but you are having your ceremony outside of the area above? I would be happy to travel to perform the ceremony but additional costs for travel and accommodation may apply.

If you live in another city or country, planning your ceremony is easy. We can communicate through email, telephone, fax or post and it is simple for me to see your official documentation when you arrive in the Gold Coast for your ceremony.

However, if you have a family member or friends in the Gold Coast, I am happy for them to come to meet me on your behalf and I can liaise with them if this helps your planning.
