Love Commitments
and other Rites of Passage Ceremonies
Paul Forrest, civil marriage celebrant in Sydney, coordinates with you to make your wedding service creative and memorable, with professionalism and expertise that gives you peace of mind on your special day. Couples have described their wedding ceremonies as relaxed, meaningful, personal and stylish - creating wonderful memories.
Imagine your day is perfect. The event unfolds and it feels just right. What the guests see is lovely, and everything said in the ceremony sounds right, is true to you, sincere and meaningful.
So many people contributed to the success of your special day: your friends, the caterers, the photographer, your Celebrant, and of course your loved ones and family. The Celebrant conducted the event exactly how you wanted. The Celebrant listened, understood, saw the day as you discussed it, and then made it happen.
This is exactly what you have wanted for so long and it's the most wonderful day you and everyone will remember for always.
Every couple is unique and special, so every ceremony needs to be personalised to reflect their individuality. Celebrants can help with this process. Why not include your family and friends in the ceremony instead of having them act as passive bystanders? Perhaps some personal promises to one another in addition to traditional vows could be included.
How many forgettable ceremonies have you attended?
A personalised creative wedding ceremony is the starting point for every memorable wedding. Every word spoken should reflect the thoughts and feelings of the bride and groom.
I want my ceremony to be memorable.
Wedding Celebrants are versed in the methodology of unique ceremonies, can help you. Celebrants offer a broad outline and guide you in your choices. For example, you may decide on creative readings instead of, or supplementing, readings from scripture. Contact me for design and theme ideas.
When is the right time to start the process?
Ideally you will plan and write your ceremony months before your wedding date. Call now as our calendar fills very quickly.

Remember, the importance of ceremony being arranged and coordinated to the utmost quality needs the specialised skills of a well trained and experienced ceremony specialist. The Celebrant should have sufficient life experience to understand the sensitivity and subtlety required, they must be flexible to accommodate your needs and they must be caring and compassionate to reflect the importance of the occasion. The Celebrant will also carry out to the utmost of their ability providing the best possible ceremony according to guidelines of Rites of Passage, and incorporated with The Family Marriage Act.
Your Celebrant should understand your specific requirements to recommend a suitable ceremony. Your Celebrant should communicate effectively with you and your partner during your planning, as well as with your loved ones and family on the day of your Ceremony. Your Celebrant should demonstrate the knowledge and integrity that will ensure a wonderful day will happen by facilitating the best possible Wedding using skills, wisdom and presentation abilities.
As well as the above, as your Celebrant I attend to all of your legal paperwork, assist you to write and arrange your ceremony tailored to your wishes and I will legally solemnize your marriage.
To make your special day into the day you dreamed of, my skills will include:
- Attending to all legal requirements.
- Providing a professional ceremony written with your choice of vows to suit you and your partner.
- Respecting your uniqueness and any special requirements.
- Dressing accordingly to your wedding style.
- Conducting my services to the utmost professional standards to totally fulfill your ceremony plan.
