SHUT THE FRONT DOOR, RYAN IS A CELEBRANT?

​

Paper Hearts co-owner Ryan (from Amelia + Ryan) is also a registered marriage celebrant, now offering celebrant services in conjunction with our music packages. This really simplifies and streamlines communication in the lead up to your wedding with the one company able to take care of your acoustic music, DJ, MC and celebrant.​

​

Ryan crafts modern ceremonies, delivered with a fun, relaxed, positive vibe, and a sprinkling of light-hearted humour for good measure!

LIVE MUSIC + CELEBRANT, HOW DOES IT WORK?

​

Pre-Ceremony Music

* 30 mins pre-ceremony music as guests arrive, including a mix of live acoustic duo music (1x15 mins set) + Spotify music

* Whilst the Spotify music is playing for guests, Ryan will liaise with the couple to sign the DONLIM, and discuss any final items with the relevant parties (i.e the couple, wedding party, venue coordinator, vendors, ring bearers, readers etc)

​​

Ceremony Music

* Live duo performance as you walk down the aisle

* Live duo performance as you 'exit' as a newly married couple

 * We'll either sign the marriage certificates shortly after the ceremony, or you can have Amelia performing as a solo artist here (vocals/keys), as Ryan officiates the signing of the legal paperwork

​​​

Following the ceremony, it's onto the Canapés & Reception continuing as per the popular 'All the Feels' package.​

CELEBRANT INCLUSIONS, IN A NUTSHELL

​

This includes everything you would expect, with Ryan expertly guiding you through the whole process from start to finish, including but not limited to:

​​

• Initial vibe check to discuss your wedding ceremony plans/ideas and see if we're a good fit (often via Zoom)

• In-person or virtual (as desired) meeting to complete/sign the NOIM (notice of intended marriage) and discuss the celebrant process in greater detail

• Couple to compete our 'couples questionnaire' and Ryan to send draft of ceremony script for review/approval

• Virtual catch up 2-4 weeks prior (via Zoom) to finalise your ceremony script, go through some of the 'on-the-day' logistics, answer any questions etc

• Signing the DONLIM (declaration of no legal impediment to marry) on the day, just prior to the ceremony

• Delivery of the legally binding civil ceremony on the day, including professional sound equipment (battery powered PA speaker + wireless microphone)

• Witnessing and signing the legal documents on the day, along with your 2x chosen witnesses (official certificates of marriage)

• Lodging your marriage with the appropriate authority within 2 weeks of the wedding (i.e Births, Deaths & Marriages Victoria)​
