Signature FAQ:

  • Very. Your script is written from scratch around your story, and we’ll build it together over a couple of meetings. Write your own vows, choose readings, add a ritual, or keep it simple. I’ll guide you through all of it, with templates to make it easy.

  • Yes, and it’s one of my favourite things. Readings, a blessing or a ring bearer all work well. If you’d love someone close to tell your story on the day, ask me about a custom ceremony.

  • The Signature is made for small, meaningful gatherings, comfortably up to [60] guests. If you’re picturing something bigger, chat to me and we’ll see what’s possible.

  • Almost anywhere: a beach, a backyard, a chapel, your living room. Some public spots need a permit, so I’ll help you check before you fall in love with a location. We’ll also agree a wet-weather plan before the day, so nobody’s scrambling on the day.

  • Yes. For ceremonies in 2026 and 2027, travel is included anywhere in Australia. For very remote locations, let’s have a quick chat first so we can plan it properly.

  • I handle it. Your Notice of Intended Marriage needs to be lodged at least one month before the ceremony, so get in touch early. You’ll need ID for both of you, plus proof of divorce or a former spouse’s death if either of you has been married before. After the ceremony I lodge everything and guide you through ordering your official certificate.

  • Yes, two witnesses (18 or over) who are present for the whole ceremony. Bring friends or family, or I can provide them for an extra cost.

  • Email me (marriedbylauren@outlook.com), fill out a contact form below, or shoot me a DM on instagram (@marriedbylauren) and we’ll have a quick chat to see if we’re a good fit.

    If we are, a $200 non-refundable booking fee locks in your date and counts toward your total, with the balance due 2 weeks before your ceremony.
