GENENE DEAKIN CELEBRANT

FAQS

WHAT’S IT LIKE WORKING WITH YOU?

From our very first meeting or chat, I’ll be focused on understandg who you are as a couple while guiding you through this process naturally and effortlessly. On the day, I’ll be there for you and your guests to convey your once-in-a-lifetime moment with the perfect balance of sincerity, humour, and flair as you enjoy celebrating the best day of your lives.

HOW CAN WE SECURE OUR DATE WITH YOU?

If you feel we’re the perfect match following our first hello chat, send an email, and we’ll begin – how exciting! You’ll receive a booking fee invoice and a schedule of our preparations. Payment of your booking fee secures your date with me.

HOW MANY WEDDINGS DO YOU BOOK EACH YEAR?

I accept a limited number of bookings each year to provide every couple with the attention they deserve.

WHAT ARE YOUR PRICES?

All ceremonies are created uniquely for each couple and can be tailored to include any or all of my additional services, be it MC, planner, vendor procurement, on-the-day coordination or a Scenic Rim wedding package. With a little information from you, I will provide you with an all-inclusive price, detailed quote, and information package.

WILL YOU ASSIST WITH OUR PERSONAL VOWS?

Absolutely! I’ll discuss creating your personal vows and am there for you if you need help along the way. You’ll also receive my ‘Little Vow Guide’ filled with inspiration and expert tips.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE SICK ON THE DAY?

It would take A-LOT to prevent me from officiating your marriage; fortunately, that has never been a problem. With that said, I’m a member of several Celebrant organisations, and I (or my husband if I was incapacitated) would send out an SOS.

WILL YOU TRAVEL FOR OUR WEDDING?

I’ll travel wherever your heart and wedding may take you! I officiate marriages throughout Queensland and Australia. Weddings abroad require legal paperwork to be completed and lodged in Australia.
