Initial Communication via email / phone / Skype.
Once you have decided that you’d like to make use of my services, a 50% non-refundable deposit is payable to secure your booking for my services on condition that I agree to do the wedding ceremony.
Documentation.
Once your booking is confirmed with me, I will need all documentation at the first meeting or emailed to me (please scan ID / Passport books). During the last week leading up to your wedding I will begin to fill in and complete the necessary forms and documents required by Dept. Home Affairs so must have all documentation or I will not do the ceremony.
The Ceremony.
I will conduct a warm, heartfelt and special ceremony that’s tailor-made to your requests and will ensure that everyone present thoroughly enjoys the ceremony.
Signing the Register.
I will complete all necessary documents beforehand and the Marriage Register will be signed by you both and your two witnesses straight after the ceremony that same day.
Marriage Certificate
I will then issue you our hand written Abridged Marriage Certificate straight after the signing of the register.

In the unforeseen event that I may not be able to conduct your wedding, I will either give you your deposit back or find a replacement marriage officer according to your choice.
