Antoinette Braeder Civil Celebrant

Welcome - and congratulations!

Your choice of celebrant is integral to the emotion and quality of your wedding ceremony. Exchanging your vows in the company of your families and friends is a moment to be treasured and savoured. 

It is a privilege for me to be involved with you and your family and friends on such an occasion. My commitment to you, is to assist with the composition of your ceremony so it is exactly as you imagine. 

Your ceremony will be relaxed, emotional, elegant and most importantly – memorable. One of the services I offer is to organise your choice of music. Guests' arrival music - followed by arrival music for The Bridal Party - a piece for The Signing - followed by a selection for after mingling? Just email me your playlist and I will do the rest.

Firstly we would meet - obligation free - to discuss your ideas, the legal requirements, the documentation and The Sequence of Ceremony. I am a good listener, I have a relaxed manner - and I will always bring a sense of humour to our meetings. There are only two compulsory requirements in a Civil Ceremony - the rest is completely as you choose. I provide you with many and varied examples of Introductions, Readings, Rituals and Vows to assist you with the framework and composition of your ceremony so it is personal and exactly as you wish. 

We would have as many meetings as required and I am always available for a chat on the phone or email. I always recommend a rehearsal so there are no surprises on your wedding day. If an outdoor setting, I recommend the rehearsal at the same time as the wedding to get a feeling for the light and conditions. 

I use a professional quality public address system for all but the most intimate weddings. It's so important that your guests can hear your ceremony clearly to enjoy the emotion of your commitment to each other. 

I look forward to hearing from you!
