Nothing causes more stress in life - whether planning a
wedding or just jogging along - than money! Sticking to
your wedding budget will make life so much easier. So I
come back to budget, managing it, and keeping within it,
time and time again. One thought. It is not the money
you throw at your wedding that makes it unique and
memorable. I've been a guest as some very price weddings
that really didn't leave much impression. What will make
your wedding memorable regardless of what your budget
is, will be you doing you. And I'm here to help you do
just that.

(02/01/2018)

a lowball fee on the grounds that "it is only an hour".
However, what you and your guests see on the day is only
a fraction of what I do to make your ceremony special
and your marriage legal.
An incredible amount of work and preparation happens
behind the scenes to make that hour possible. It is also
not unusual for full realisation of how much behind the
scenes preparation is involved to sink in only when a
couple attends other weddings down the track and sees
the result of some of that behind the scenes work being
omitted
