What do you like most about your job?

Accepted Answer

I love people.  How lucky am I, I get to be part of the most important day in most people's lives (the birth of children excluded, naturally!)  Hearing guests say 'that ceremony really was xx and xxx' and seeing how happy the bridal couple and their families and friends are, makes it all worthwhile!

Question 3

What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

Do we have to buy a marriage licence?  No that is an American requirement. I am an authorised marriage celebrant so I take care of all the legal paperwork.    Can we write our own vows?  Absolutely!  Do we  have to write our own vows?  No You are welcome to have anything you like in your ceremony.

Question 5

Why should a customer hire you over another service provider?

Question 9

Are there any special offers you would like to offer to Oneflare customers?

Accepted Answer

I always offer my best price to Oneflare customers, especially when the wedding is 'short notice'.  I decorate the table and even decorate the ceremony area - I like to give more to make sure the day is special for you.

Question 10

What makes your pricing competitive?

Accepted Answer

Being a celebrant is a 'calling' - not a job to me. I do not charge exorbitant rates 'just because I can!'  Naturally I have bills I have to cover but I like to give the same standard of service at a more reasonable price because I realise that weddings can be expensive and I am here for you.

Question 11

How do you normally charge for your service?

Accepted Answer

It is all dependent on your location, the date and time of the wedding. Should you be having a small wedding, a morning wedding or a wedding not held on a weekend, I think you should receive a discount for this. I am happy to work with budgets to ensure you get a great ceremony.

Is there a particular aspect of your trade or industry that you specialise in?

Accepted Answer

I have the ability to listen as well as speak.  Listening to what  you are after and then working with you to make sure your dream comes true is what I am to achieve.  As an outgoing people person, I consider all my couples to be my family and we all do what we can for our families!

What experience, skills, qualifications or training do you have to make you the right person for the job?

Accepted Answer

My background is as a Function Manager, DJ, Master of Ceremonies and photographer. I utilise all these skills to ensure that your wedding is the best that it can be.  With over 1000 weddings under my belt, I can honestly say that I am ready for anything!
