Melbourne Wedding Celebrant FAQs.

Planning a wedding comes with plenty of questions — some practical, some emotional, and some you didn’t even know you needed to ask. 
This section covers the most common things couples want clarity on when planning a ceremony, from legal requirements to cultural considerations and how the day itself actually works. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, you’re always welcome to get in touch.

COMMON QUESTIONS BEFORE BOOKING

Do you MC as well?
I don’t offer full MC services as a standard inclusion, however I do offer a limited MC-Lite option in certain circumstances.

This is designed for couples who are having a front-loaded reception and would like light, professional guidance through:

• Guest introductions
• Entry of the couple
• Cake cutting
• Speeches
• First dance

This typically runs for 90 minutes to 2 hours post-ceremony, after photos and canapés.

MC-Lite is offered on a case-by-case basis, depending on timing and location, and is priced separately from ceremony packages.
