So you've decided to get married in Bali!  It's one of my favourite places on earth and I love heading there for a wedding.  So let's team up to talk about how we will make your Bali wedding the most special day of your lives and one that all of your guests will be glad they made the effort to join in on the celebration with you.

​

Step 1

Let's meet to get to know each other. This can be at home or over coffee somewhere - wherever you feel more comfortable.  We can talk through the type of ceremony you want to create and talk about the process we will go through to create that ceremony for you.  We'll also talk about the price and what forms you will need to fill out along the way.

​

Step 2

Sometimes this can be combined with Step One, but once you have decided it's me you want to officiate at your Bali wedding, we will sit down and have a chat about your history together and who's going to be involved in the wedding.  This will probably take an hour or two and can happen over coffee or even a glass of wine.  The info I get from us spending this time together will help me create your unique wedding ceremony.  I'll be asking about the quirkiness of the two of you.  

We'll also talk about any poems or readings you would like included in the ceremony and who will be reading them, plus what music you have selected and work out where this will go in the ceremony.

At this meeting we also complete the Notice Of Intention to Marry, so you will need to bring along some official identification etc. I'll let you know what to bring prior to the meeting.

​

Step 3

I go away and create the wedding using the information you have given me. After I've written the ceremony, we catch up to run through it and make adjustments if needed.

​

Step 4

We catch up before you head off to Bali to sign some more legal documents to make your wedding official. These are supplied to Births, Deaths & Marriages after the wedding.

​

Step 5

Once we're in Bali, we'll do a wedding rehearsal the day prior to the wedding. This is always a good idea as it will put you at ease with what's going to happen. All we need is the wedding party to come along (if possible) so that they all know how fast to walk, where to walk and where to stand.  It's also important for you both to also know this information as it will help you relax on the day so that you too can enjoy the ceremony.  

​

Step 6

The wedding day!

I'll be there nice and early to make sure everything is in place.

You enjoy your wedding and reception with your friends and family and the rest of your stay in Bali.

​

Remember;

• you legally need to allow at least 30 days notice of intended marriage before your wedding;

• You will be married according to the laws of Australia;

• Your marriage will be completely legal.
