Coronavirus – Covid-19 Sabotages Wedding Plans!

The reality is that for now the “Big White Wedding” is on hold obviously due to Covid-19 travel restrictions, as well as limited guest numbers at both your Marriage ceremony and wedding reception as we observe social distancing.

My thoughts go out to all couples who have researched to the last detail their marriage ceremony, their wedding venue and wedding reception only to have to now go back and reconsider.
Jenny, Celebrations with Flair – Celebrant – Sutherland Shire, Sydney has found that couples have had to make decisions, in keeping with Covid-19 restrictions, some opting to defer their wedding for the time being, subsequently choosing to #ChangeTheDate to more favourable times.
That’s OK and Jenny is happy to work with you to re-schedule to a mutually suitable new date.

Perhaps you are one of those couples who don’t want to put off your wedding, you just want to be married to the love of your life NOW.
How romantic!
Jenny is delighted to conduct intimate marriage ceremonies, which are all about you, your love and commitment, in the presence of your witnesses and celebrant, and also perhaps your nearest and dearest.
I have solemnized these intimate weddings in a home environment or at my Office, (on the Woronora River) and you can get married legally the way you want and when you want. Of course, Covid safety practices are adhered to for everyone’s benefit.
Some of these intimate weddings have been arranged with the proviso that when #things get back to “normal” a get together celebration will be held, inviting extended family and friends to perhaps a gala event at your choice of venue to #Renew your vows, or perhaps celebrate a Wedding Anniversary, re-affirming your commitment to each other.
Maybe a party appeals to you, perhaps a BBQ or catered function, which will include a Commitment ceremony or dinner party at your favourite restaurant, with a Renewal of Vows ceremony as the main-piece of this get-together.
Whatever your show, rest assured your marriage ceremony will be everything you want it to be, celebrated your way!

The Bride’s Entourage

Usually a bride chooses her bridesmaids or attendants from her circle of family and friends.
Someone who knows her, cares about her and has her back. Whatever the reason of choice, the bridesmaid/s or bride’s attendants are her support, confidants and her go to on making her special day just that. [Read more…]

The Bride Wore Blue

The beauty of a civil marriage ceremony, with Janette Butler-Grech as your celebrant is that your ceremony can be the way you want it, where you want it, when you want it, how you want it and aside from abiding by the legal requirements, say and include any ritual you want.
