Registry Office Style Weekday Weddings in the Adelaide Hills!

 

An exciting alternative approach to getting married!

 

Marry on Monday

Tie the knot on Tuesday

Wed on Wednesday

Thumbs up for Thursday

 

Now you can have the added option of celebrating your love for one another in a Registry Office Style Weekday Wedding in the Adelaide Hills but without the less-than-romantic experience of queuing for your wedding in a one-size-fits-all-ceremony.

With Merrilyn at CelebrateLife! you can have a warm, happy, intimate, heartfelt registry office style ceremony that incudes your own personal ideals and marriage vows.

You choose the time from Monday to Thursday, from dawn 'til late! (sorry, excluding New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day)

You choose the place - within the heart of the Adelaide Hills. Think about celebrating in your own home, at a restaurant or cafe, in a park or a forest, in a winery, in your (big) tinnie on the dam - the list of possibilities is endless.

You might choose a small celebration with your nearest and dearest, or maybe a romantic elopement with only your two witnesses and with me as your celebrant!

My office is in Littlehampton and, as an added service I travel to places within the boundary outlined on the map below  - at no extra cost to you! You'll be amazed at how many options there are!

                               2. Monarto South
                               3. Harrogate
                               4. Mt Torrens

Here's another great alternative -

quite different from the Registry Office Style Weekday Weddings

---

 

 Wonderful Warm Winter Weddings! 

 

For couples who don't want either a Registry Office Style Weekday Wedding

or the big celebration with all the bells and whistles,

I can offer you yet another option - exclusive to CelebrateLife!

 

Think about stepping outside the traditional and the predictable and into a low-key, intimate celebration.

A Wonderful Warm Winter Wedding is an exciting and innovative alternative to a marriage ceremony on a hot summer's day.

Consider an early morning ceremony followed by a gourmet breakfast or brunch, a late morning ceremony followed by a delicious lunch, or even an early afternoon ceremony with a scrumptious afternoon tea to follow.

Or if you wish, combine your meal with the ceremony and say 'I do' between mains and dessert!

Imagine this ......... it's a cold crisp winter's day at one of the stunning Adelaide Hills Boutique Wineries. The fog is swirling through the vines, now dormant after the harvest. It's quiet, beautiful, inspiring and enervating .... and refreshingly chilly!

Inside there's a roaring log fire, a couple of deep soft leather couches inviting you to curl up with the love of your life, sharing fine food, washed down with a glass or two of your favourite wine. It might be red or white, still or bubbly.

To celebrate your marriage invite your intimate circle of friends to join you ... or not!

Include them as participants in your ceremony ... or not!

Listen to the rhythm of the rain as you hold hands, look into each other's eyes and speak your vows of love and commitment.

My name is Merrilyn Williams. I'm an experienced and professional Civil Marriage Celebrant living and working here in the beautiful Adelaide Hills. I can help you to make an ordinary day into an extra-ordinary day filled with rich and lasting memories to treasure!

We work together to create your ceremony which really and truly is all about you! Reminisce about how you met, recall  the important things that have happened, big and small, since you began to share your lives. Re-tell your favourite stories. Let there be laughter and tears. Talk about your hopes and dreams for your future and then, when you're ready, you marry each other.

It's a new and wonderfully refreshing way to celebrate your togetherness. It's intimate, relaxed, joyful, romantic, exciting, imaginative and different  ... and I'm here to help you. Of course there are requirements which must be fulfilled for your marriage to be legally recognised .. that'll be my job too!

Embrace the winter as a time of contemplation and rejuvenation; a time to celebrate relationships and what's important in your life; a time to share with your nearest and dearest your joy at finding each other as you publicly declare that you will live together as marriage partners.

Your fabulous and vibrant, warm and engaging marriage ceremony is my business!

Contact me to discuss your needs.
