Ashley Ogle
Marriage Celebrant + MC
Let me take you through the process
1. Fill out my contact form if you'd like to know my prices, availability and approach to weddings.
2. We will catch up over a casual zoom (I may or may not be in my pajamas) to see if we are the right fit for one another. I can cover off a little more detail about the process and you can ask any burning questions.
3. If we gel, I will send through an invoice and contract. Once that is signed and your non-refundable booking fee has been paid, the date is yours and we're ready to get you married.
4. Don't stress, I will prompt you when it is time to start the legal paper trail, starting with completing your NOIM (Notice of intent to Marry) - at the same time we will organise a date + time to have our planning meeting.
5. We meet up in the office or over a cheeky drink to sign your NOIM, discuss your ceremony and start to bring it all together. You will leave pretty excited by this stage!
6. ITS YOUR WEDDING DAY - I will come find where you're hiding the day of your ceremony to sign your Declaration of No Legal Impediment, calm any nerves and maybe even have a champagne while we're at it.
7. Stand together, hold one another's hands and relax, as I share the most BEAUTIFUL love story of all time - YOURS!
8. YOU'RE MARRIED - YAY!
9. After helping your photographer, ensuring you are hydrated with a beverage (that includes water :p) and you're completely comfortable for me to hand over to the MC; after giving you a big cuddle, I'll skip home to my family. Within the next 48 hours I will register your marriage and order your Marriage Certificate from Births Deaths and Marriages which they will send straight to your door.
10. Strap in and enjoy the rollercoaster ride of married life - it's the best!!

A taste of a Short and Sweet Ceremony
Laura and Braydon are two genuine down to earth people who had a love story they wanted to share themselves, through their vows.
So for me to bring together the ceremony they were after, we caught up, ran over all the ideas and options so I could understand what words they wanted me to share that meant something to them. I changed it all up by changing some words so it from the guest point of view it felt authentic to them and not a standard script...
For their super sweet but short love story I got to include, we focused on their exciting but (for Braydon) disappointing proposal!
You have to check it out to see what I mean :p
We had fun and used their "pet peeves" as part of the traditional asking and wrapped it up with the exchange of their rings!
