If you live in Sydney the process is very simple
When youhave decided on the date, time and venue of your wedding an appointment can be
made. At the first meeting I will ask you to complete the Notice of Intended Marriage form, supplied by me, and witness your signatures, if possible, I would sight your birth certificates, if previously married the decree absolute i.e. divorce papers and/or death certificate. Their registration numbers would be recorded on the back of the Notice, then returned to you. The selection of wedding ceremonies which have been personally prepared for you to choose the wedding ceremony, you feel is most suitable, or use as a guideline to write your own, would be discussed and every aspect of your wedding ceremony.
The official marriage certificate, the marriage register and your marriage certificate will be prepared by me, prior to your wedding. On the wedding day they will be duly signed by you and the two witnesses and then registered on-line the day of your wedding at the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, if you wish in due course a copy of the official marriage certificate can be obtained by you on request. I will retain the marriage register and your certificate will be handed to you.

For Overseas Visitors:
Drummoyne is approximately 5 Kilometres from the Sydney CBD. You can take the Rivercat from Circular Quay and disembark at Wolseley Street Drummoyne or alternatively use a Bus or Taxi. I feel that it is important that we meet if only one or two days prior to your wedding day.
