Jamie Serra Celebrant

Simple answer is YES! As a Civil Marriage Celebrant, I am permitted to marry you both anywhere and at any time of the day or night. If you have a favourite spot in the park or along the beach, even up in the mountains, I can make it happen.

Each ceremony is completely unique and because of this, I quote each individually. Having been married myself, I completely understand the importance of getting the right celebrant without breaking the bank. This is deeply considered in my quote to you and the service I provide.
Once you decide that I am the celebrant for you, the following fee schedule will apply:

– A booking fee due within 7 days (30% of the ceremony fee).

– The remainder of the total amount (final payment) due 14 days before the event. With money coming out of the account for lots of different parts, I am more than happy to negotiate a smaller, more frequent payment schedule if that is easier.

Exact payment figures and dates will be shown on your quote/invoice.

Nope!! Once you book me in as your celebrant, you are my sole focus for the day. There’s literally no marriage without the celebrant, with so many moving parts you can have trust that I am there for you!

If you’re not 1 hour early…. you’re late. No but seriously, one of my greatest fears in life is being late. I expect to arrive at your ceremony at least 1 hour before showtime but I’ll likely be there even before that. Here I can meet any guests that arrive super early.
I will also meet with you both separately to sign the Declaration of No Legal Impediment (if we haven’t had a rehearsal prior).

Of course we can! One of the most important things for the day is making sure the celebrant reflects who you are as a couple. I normally schedule in a 30 minute completely non-obligatory chat where we can run through what your vision is for the day, a bit about each other and genuinely see if we are a match.
I leave it to the two of you to discuss and decide if I’m the right guy for you. Once you’ve decided that I am, we’ll set up a face-to-face meeting where we can start the legal paperwork Notice of Indented Marriage and get the ball rolling.
From here I am available at any point in the process to answer any questions and make you feel as comfortable as possible.

I take a lot of pride in making sure we have the best equipment for your day. You will have full use of my awesome Bose S1 Bluetooth Speaker and Sennheiser Wireless Microphone.

A Full Civil Marriage Ceremony will usually around 30 minutes, this will vary depending on how much is included. A Short & Sweet Ceremony is likely to take around 15 minutes.

I love to travel, even more for a wedding; however, my ceremony costs include 50km’s free from Perth’s CBD. Wedding ceremonies and rehearsals scheduled outside of this do incur a small extra cost. These are completely dependent on where and when and are individually tailored.

I can absolutely send you a copy of your ceremony script before the day. This can be a good way to ease the nerves and get familiar with what to expect. I will however, leave out some key information such as your personalised story and personal vows. These are definitely best spent hearing for the first time with your loved ones and sharing the organic moments.

Please feel free to have a read through some of the incredible days I’ve been a part of already on my couples page. If you like what you see and are interested in knowing more, please send me a quick enquiry here. I’ll get back to you with any information and options for a 30-minute online chat.
From here, if you’re happy to go ahead and book me in for your big day you’ll pay a deposit (30% of ceremony fee) to lock me in. Once that is done, your date is locked in with me and the fun begins.
