Wedding ceremonies
The traditions observed in a wedding have special meanings and significance to the couple and their family and friends. A wedding ceremony's prime function is to provide the two parties an opportunity to make promises to each other in front of witnesses. Those promises form the basis of their marriage and give the officiating celebrant the right to pronounce them man and wife.

Vow renewals
You’ve shared the joys, blessings, and yes, the challenges, of married life for so many years. And, now, it’s your wish to re-affirm your commitment to working together to make your marriage grow and blossom in the years to come...
A Vow Renewal Ceremony will be a special and effective way to mark these life transitions. It will be a way to share love to your partner, publicly and it will allow friends and family to unite to say “Life is important!

Commitment ceremonies
You have made the commitment to your chosen one and time may be of the essence, so you want to share with your family and friends, that this is important. However, because the “legalities” cannot be fulfilled, we can plan and carry out a wedding ceremony without the formalities and paperwork. (A legal ceremony can be carried out at a later date)
OR… in the current Covid 19 situation, there may be limitations to group gatherings, so you may have already had the legal ceremony with limited attendees, but you want to have “The Wedding Ceremony” to share with un-limited guests. This is when you can have the whole ceremony without the need for legal paper-work

Baby naming ceremonies
A baby naming ceremony is held to celebrate a new baby’s arrival and naming. In Australia, the naming ceremony is often held at around the same time as the baby’s first birthday party.
A naming ceremony is not a legal ceremony and is not usually religious. It is often performed by celebrants.

Funerals and life celebrations
Funerals underpin a necessary part of grieving as they reinforce the reality that a death has actually happened. We need to allow our grief to surface and a funeral ceremony provides a safe and appropriate place to show and share our feelings with others. This sets the foundations for 'good grief' or healthy grieving.
