My service to couples:
I prefer to meet my couples in person and get to know them so that I am able to identify and discuss their special needs in their wedding ceremonies so that I could consult, develop, design and deliver a “meaningful” ceremony in accordance with their wishes and desires.
My initial consultations will include the following:
- Getting to know the couple
- Completing and lodging of the Notice of Intended of Marriage and or registering of all relevant statutory documentations
